BLINDFOLD
BLINDFOLD.
Hips
Locked and loaded.
Lips,
Ruby red, and swollen
In anticipation
Imagination overload
Blindfolded, at the crossroads
Of desire.
Passion’s fire burning
Twisting, turning
Sensory deception
Sensual perception
Taste, feel
Smell
It’s real
But you mustn’t see
You must simply be
As your body shakes
Your muscles aching
Anticipa...

COMING HOME
COMING HOME.
Brothers in arms
Brothers in death
Brothers forever
Until their last breath
Believing the lies
They believed the prize
Would be freedom.
They believed it was right,
It was right to fight for freedom.
But it was hard to be true
When the bullets flew
And shells exploded their dreams
Man to man and trench to trench
They couldn’t avoid th...

SCREAMING SHELLS
SCREAMING SHELLS.
Screaming shells
A sea of mud
A living hell
Where the good died young
The stench of death forever hung
Over trenches
Filled with broken men
With sightless eyes
Who remember when
The sun shone,
And birds soared
Now freedom’s gone
And cannons roar.
The sky rains death.
Mustard gas
Steals every breath.
Lungs burning
From the...

MULTI-COLOURED CHANGE
MUTI-COLOURED CHANGE.
Well now, maybe I’ll tell now some of my story
No glory here though
I was a fifty’s baby. A lucky baby maybe
Some would say when everything was grey
I was born to it
When you wore a suit to go for a shit
As long as it was grey, or black
Looking back it would seem I was part of
Conceived at the start of
A changing, rearranging youth.
The ...

SHAME
~~SHAME.
A bare light bulb burning
An ancient vinyl churning
Out a long forgotten tune.
A love song crackling in the gloom.
A cum stained mattress strewn
Across the floor
Waiting for the flaking bedroom door
To swing
And bring
The next abuser
Of her morals
There are no laurels,
Only losers here.
She has a need
A need to feed her habit
With eyes like a frightened rabbit
Caught in...

CHASING DRAGONS
CHASING DRAGONS.
Fell off the wagon
Chasing dragons
Smoking crack
There’s no going back,
Henry says.
Blurred,
Furred over days
Spent in misty rooms
Filled with acrid
Skunk fuelled fumes
Of heady dreams
Thicker it seems
Than blood
It isn’t a dream
When the needle slides
Under the skin
Where the demons hide
Leaving a red spot
A tiny dot
Of pleasure
And you nod your head
Your ...

A STRANGER CALLS
A STRANGER CALLS
No one sees me
Standing there?
A blur?
A stranger
Soft focussed.
I am a traveller,
Non-plussed
By my surroundings.
How can it be
That no one sees
The benefits I bring?
I am the keeper of the past
I am the foundation
On which we build
A future filled with hope,
With light
A light bright enough
To show the way
Hope enough to say
“My future’s safe”
“I will not ...
