You belong in the bottom block.
You're nuts and drive me insane.

Meeting
What's taking place in the meeting of men?
When they meet in a room or secretly in a forest, things happen.
Ripples leading to the future, untold events like back in 42, Final Solution style.
Millions wiped out due to the racism and hatred of a madman. ...

What's Your Name?
I've been out to Dovestones walking. On the grassy slope by the woods to the right of the access road I found a letter. Hidden. Written by a goth girl on decaying paper. Past damp, full of holes and three bits of gum stuck to it. It told her story. Lock the tiger up, secure the house, said how down she is. I don't see her name. What's your name my dark angel? There's an envelo...

Eclipsing Karin’s Fracture
Fracture lines of frantic events. Pretty little German girl named Karin Ulbricht. Leipzig late 1989. Events so much bigger than just a mere pretty little lady. Daring to demonstrate for freedom. Do you know what you’re doing? Do you? Chasing a dream, not knowing what it is.
BUT YOU FEEL IT IN YOUR BONES.
And know that you’re right, being in Leipz...

SUPERSONIC GROUND RACE
Countdown has begun as a crazy driver gets ready to go.
It’s a race over the desert to reach Mach 1.
As he sets off g-force increases and a silver dot shoots

With a bang he careers through the sound barrier
ending up a dot on the horizon.
Yes, he has done it, the faste...

There's a room where people go to do something beautiful and special.
They go there to commit suicide.
I caught a glimpse of it in a vision after a vodka night when Emma had forsaken me.
The white wood walls are blood splattered.
Daylight comes thru gaps in a boarded up window by a corner.
A small curved potato peeler knife is what everyone uses.

low clouds distilling all colour to grey.
No warmth or hope or peace of mind.

In his cell a condemned man is brought,
he didn’t sleep much. His last day on earth,

Strange hazy shapes in the rainy sky dancing lights in the dark of night,

It is the element of the unknown, so scary and dangerous.
People tell of strange beings coming in the night, of sharp objects and needles and of terrible pain.

Special times, trips to the coast.
It is a time for you and me.

Three hundred metres in front of the girls was a fine layer of Cirrus cloud,

Vietnam
What is it like to be jailed for writing songs?
What is it like to be locked up for having an opinion?
What is it like to want freedom and say you want it?
What is it like to actually do something about it, your lust for freedom?
What is it like to stand up for your opinions and be jailed?
For four and six years.
In some cases, a dozen.
What is like...

MIRAGE
MIRAGE
I’ve seen the French delta bird up close and what a plane!
Just think of the names it brought forth – Cheetah, Pantera, Kfir, Nesher…
All are delta darts whose claws are thirty millimetre guns
and whose teeth are heat-seeking missiles.
Blooded in combat over the Sinai and the Malvinas in the name of war.
Pilots became both victors and vanquished flying...

Bellyache (for Weird Harold)
Bellyache (for Weird Harold)
In the American desert were a load of trash airplanes waiting to be scrapped.
On a muggy night under a million stars something strange occurred.
One of the first pre-production F-15 Eagle fighters was at rest, quietly asleep.
Resting on flat tyres, with faded paint and creaking spars, it was a derelict.
No longer high tech, a threat t...

I'm the defective detective.
I marvel at the whiteness of frozen snow.
Left right upper leg.
Do you like beer?
No I like Ricky Gervais.
I'm inside the tumble dryer spinning in space.
Just made a hillinit bloody hooooot.
Why do I let the last 5 years drag me down?
Chained to me,
self destroying me from within.
I'm the Phantom Ray...

Sky Fight
What makes the game even more interesting is that you can never win.
Or if you know you’ll lose from the start and you still enter the game, to lose.
As a student of air warfare, never ever fight the enemy on their rules.
But what happens if you do?
There’s a gothic saying...
‘Doing the wrong thing for the right reasons...’
Goth or no Goth, those word...

Ruth was concerned. Spitfire recon photos were the problem. Not the quality but something else. The target, it was wrong. Its street plan was different. Buildings, or what were once buildings, were different. What was wrong? Ruth thought. Do what thy will be the whole of the law. Do it rig...

PLANET EARTH
PLANET EARTH
The mighty planet Earth slowly turns on its own axis through space.
There is only one planet Earth with all its myriad forms of life.
A lot of this life has been here long before Man, so long before.
When Man came he was the hunter in skins and fur.
Today he is the hunted by his own kind and the skin is burned from his back.
The planet is never c...

From my plane I see people far and distant from me.
They are like me but the higher I climb
the more I’m separated, withdrawn into my own little world.
Obstacles in my way, quick pull up!
Or I’ll crash headlong into them and destroy
my plane and die myself.
Just like real life, walk down the wrong street,
sleep with the wrong girl, choose the wron...

Cyanide Footsteps, Arsenic Touch
poem from my new book co written with Mel Grobler, link under my poem...
Cyanide Footsteps, Arsenic TouchEverything about you is toxic. Your lethal kiss at dawn ending my life in a moment. Your breath stagnant when you stand in my personal space.
Suffocation.
The rasping assault on my eardrums when you shout at me, imploding my head. What of your arsenic touch, killing me by r...

So here we stand once again
With an opportunity to start afresh.
Oh what joy this brings to my heart.
To let go of the past,
And to start a new chapter.
Allowing Love, Happiness and Peace
Into our hearts.
Filling our S...

Daddy's Poem by unknown poet
Daddy's Poem
----------------------
Her hair was up in a pony tail,
Her favourite dress tied with a bow.
Today was Daddy's Day at school,
And she couldn't wait to go.
But her Mummy tried to tell her,
That she probably should stay home.
Why the kids might not understand,
If she went to school alone.
But she was not afraid;
She knew just what to say.
Wha...
