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

The fays lifting us up
The lives we cross unknowing
The green-grass paths they wayfare,
Fables of fays and fiends unspoken
Truths belonging to entities of matter,
Flesh bones a body, rhythmed by breath
A heartbeat, pumps red juices carrying
Cleansing oxygen through tireless veins… CONTINUE READING »
Missing Hawking
You were born in the mist
Of a worldwide bloody war,
Shielded in the town of Oxford
No one would have known,
Who came to light
On a random winter’s day,
And would have studied darkness
To humanity’s bewilderment
And … CONTINUE READING »
Penn Station
Escaping memories I ran
To the setting of beginnings
In search of new encounters
A rescuer, an owner, a gentle
Word. Penn station had evolved
In years with my emotions,
Beguiling decadence lost
To opulence decay.
Pink granite covered in … CONTINUE READING »
On occasions I recall
Your crooked smile the flower behind
Dumbo ears reflections of light
onto the boldness of your distinctive
gargantuan head, baby looks
one wouldn’t expect, from an imposing
gentle giant like yourself.
Your invitation to stay when everyone
leaves, closing hour, … CONTINUE READING »
Rather than nothing
Why something rather than nothing,
millenary questions mankind dwell
upon whilst witnessing existence
of surroundings, mesmerising
phenomena. Enthralling vibrations
we sense, sparking myriad colours,
sounds, shaping textures emitting scents,
flavours tingling baffled palates.
Wandering on metamorphosing soils
ceaselessly reflourishing in … CONTINUE READING »
