Six hundred skeletal muscles
composing my body and yours,
keeping me, us together
from the one on my forehead
whimsically raising eyebrows, carving
wrinkles of my emotions, palpebral
ligaments lacrimal bones, eyelids close,
extraocular, eyelids open eyeballs move,
upwards downwards … CONTINUE READING »
Resurrects in green
She shies, hides
Delicacy in disguise
Awaits her time,
Nine moons a labour
Through sweltering skies
Vapouring oceans
As we undress,
To crisping brown
Leaves falling
On blankets of white,
Under reversing flakes
Of heaven as we smother
In skins … CONTINUE READING »
Sentiment
Elated man at the sight
Of lightening beguiled
By unbargained warmth
Plasmic hues of orange
Effusing light in darkness
Branches on fire, learning
To tame a sacred source,
Scintillas of heat until
The final flame fades
Dimming glows he looks… CONTINUE READING »
Raping MOMA
Wide brightened spaces
Of crystalline intentions
Once open to keen eyes
Sullied and besmirched
By the erection of ambiguity,
Dark labyrinthic paths clogged
With human bodies blind
Able to observe the work
Of masters solely through
Telephonic lenses held up … CONTINUE READING »
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL THING
His small round eyes
Concealed the depth
Of a life yet to be
Lived, neat white
Beard only slightly
Shadowing thin lips
Allowing intimate
Notes to outpour,
A murmured song.
He sang me the Sun
On a misty day
Whispering … CONTINUE READING »
SCENTING HUMOURS
Twenty four weeks
Ago I called us
Virtual strangers
Teasing fantasy
Unwilling to
Metamorphose
Into reality
Convinced,
Unassailable
Imagination
Would prevent
Rational
Insanity yet,
Twenty four hours
Ago you became
Flesh and odours
Rippling softly
Within, inviting
Me to gaze… CONTINUE READING »
AVID HANDS
They twinkle light
In darkness
Mating games
Revealing presence,
Chased
By avid hands
They ignore
The sins they inspire.
Captured
In temporary cages
Made of flesh
Dilated pupils quench
Voyeuristic instincts
Staring through
The crevice
Of united thumbs.
Until obscurity… CONTINUE READING »
CHUMLEY ME BACK
Found your door
Unhidden
On Bedford a light
Green wood
They dug
You out
Of your lively grave
Brought you alas
To ground
Level renewed
Veiling your age
Concealing your past
Faulkner staring
At me from the wall
Looking for… CONTINUE READING »
Blinding colours
To those who say
They love me so
Lend an ear
To my silence
Close your eyes
Before I burst
Into a spectrum
Of blinding colours.

Gourmand eyes
A cat in the dark
hypnotic fog lights,
she stared at pastries
in revery and awe.
Muzzle pressed
against the shopfront
bluring windows
with exhales.
Acquiescence suspires
sighs of delight,
she peruses each tray
attentively bewildered.
A crime scene
investigation … CONTINUE READING »
