Betwixt
Inspired by this time space we currently find ourselves in....
The land of betwixt and between
What's been
Versus
What is unseen
Next year hints
A clarity
Of vision
Perfect for
Leap year
Decisions!

Christmas Angels
Their existence on earth
Often so quizzical
A little eccentric
More ethric
Than physical
Sometimes they're
With us
Our lives
They do touch
When others
Dismiss us
Their smile
Means so much
They're guiding
Through life
From the smooth
To the rough
Reminding lost
Souls
That they are
Good enough

Mistletoe Mistakes
They wanted to kiss
Yet missed
With Mistletoe
How could they resist?
What he didn't know
Was he'd stood
On her toe
A short lived bliss
All of their hoping
Just turned into hopping!

The gift of words
What you say this Christmas may be even more important than what presents you give ....
Some of them written
Most of them heard
Many are bitten
By the power
Of word
The gifts that
You've given
Soon they forget
But choose words
With care
Lest a lifetime
Regret

Out of body
You know that you are having
An out of body experience
When you find
Your heart and your mind
In a different place
To where you physically
Are

Solstice state of mind
Dissolved into the dark
Part of it all
At one
With winter
Everything has disappeared
Yet nothing
Is feared
For it's all the same
Not death
Nor riot
Just mind
At last
Quite
Now I let
The light
Back in

Christmas game of cat & mouse
Twas the night
Of Christmas eve
Cheshire cat
Begs mouse
To leave
Usually I'd have
To kill
But tis the season
Of good will
Take your chance
Run Away
Hitch a ride
On Santa's sleigh
Let me lap up
His glass
Of gin
And frighten
You
With a drunken
Grin
Friday 6th December 2019 9:39 pm
I-solation
Frantically he taps on the glass
Louder as they pass
Now he screams
But not through a window
It's a screen
Nobody knows
He's scrolling
His soul away

Poetic vision
Reading between
The blurred lines
Defining sublimes
Of reality
Noticing all
That others
Can't see
This how
Poets bring
Clarity

Liver salts?

When I remembered
The true
Value
Of some
Experiences
Remains unknown
Until
They reveal themselves
Once again
As a
Heartfelt memory

Muse
His muse walked invisibly
Beside him
As she always did
Sometimes she hid
But even then
He knew
She was there
Could feel
Her presence
In the air
Heard her
Gentle sighs
In the
Otherwise
Silence
She would
Reveal something
Soon

Retrograde
Mercury retrograde is at the phase where it is giving us the chance to revisit lost opportunities with a second chance in sight. Useful to take note of whether you believe in astrology or not.
Clockwise has closed
Now
Backwards beckons
Tocks become ticks
A reversal of seconds
Repairing the wreckage
Reckoning with time
Another chance
Awaits
Before the
Next...

Snow White Updated
Thoroughly Modern
Miss snow white
No poison apple
Would she bite
So wicked stepmother
Sent her a gift
Lid off
White box
She quickly lifts
Lo and behold
It's an apple....

This one has
An hypnotic tone
And as soon as
Step mom
Gave Snow white
A call
Into a deep
Sleep
She did fall
When awake
She's still

Shadow Of Temptation
As he stood in front of her
She sensed the presence
Of shadows
Behind her back
Light and dark danced
Upon the wall
Every embrace
Created the shape
Of things
To come

Craveyard
Many visit the graveyard
What about the craveyard?
Filled with creative cravings
That were denied
Then turned to stone
And died
Each one engraved
With what might
Have been

Nonsense
An experiment in your observation ...
Having the grace to explore the alchemy of my soul
I was in the black, out of control
I'm strong enough now, to please
Just myself
Shouldn't be easy for anyone else
Take a look at how
I've become so astute
Jumping and singing
Just like a cute newt
Flying high up off the ground
Slightly ruined
But still around

Developments
Their romance was like
An old fashioned photograph
They clicked straight away
But their love took
Longer to develop

Writing Moment
Finger and thumb
Wrapped around
A pen
Wrote a few words
Full stopped.

The Vaper
He was her dragon
Didn't have talons
But their 'nomance'
Dragged on
He kept
Her waiting
In a 'complicationship'
Reputation of
A reptile
Scaly, bit flaky
A hazardous lizard
Still
In a puff
Of sweet vaporised smoke
She was sucked
Back in

November Horoscope
November begins on a point of tension
Now the political stuff
I'll not even mention
Mercury retrograde has just begun
It can make a fool of anyone
You might be misunderstood
It could cause a delay
People from your past
May come back your way
Mars and Pluto in the boxing ring
Watch out for trouble
If you've had a secret fling
November 8th will touch your soul

Scorpio season
Early darkness
Nights draw in
Scorpio arrives
With a tail
That stings
Clocks rewind
More time
In bed
Land of
The living
Meets depths
Of the dead

Robotic
Recapturing who I was
Before my microchips
I used to be a human
Now it's electric bits
Back then,
I had less memory
I needed to
Use my brain
Subjects like maths & physics
Were such a struggle
A strain
I remember
I used to wear glasses
So much I wasn't seeing
That's all in the past now
I'm a supersonic being
I used to get
So tired
Energy leve...

Drunken Monk
On hearing a story about 'Auto-Brewery Syndrome ( ABS)
There once lived
An incontinent monk
He never drinks
But still
He gets drunk
The doctors
Were flummoxed
For he
Brews beer
In his
Stomach
Now they
All want
To squeeze out
His trunks!

Winter knows
Spring had sprung
Butterflies in
Her tum
Followed by
Summer's overwhelming
Heart melting sun
But then
The fall
In love?
Or
Not at all?
Only
Winter's snow
Truely knows

Cold calling
A bit of poetic free styling flash fiction
Phone rings
It's him
She recognises
The tone
'Are you alone?'
He moaned
Sounding
So far away
'Please, don't
Hang up
Stay'
He says
Funny how he never
Called when
He was alive

Dumb and dumber
We used to chat
On a green screen
In the pre teens
On 3310
As it was
Back then
SMS texting friends
Was the
big trend
So relieved
To read

During break
Used to

Do it anyway
Expressing isn't always about impressing
Sometimes it's a confession
Or the regression of a memory
It might even be
About a maybe
A one day me
That I only see
Approximately more clearly
When it's put into words
It could seem absurd
When it's read
Or tis' heard
But they must be released
In order to cease
My mental marathon
When a...

Astral Travelling
The projection
Was watching
It's physical form
As it lay there
Sleeping
Looking
Well worn
Now spirit's
Set free
Of age
Gender, race
In all places
At once
No more
Shame
Or
Disgrace
Astral travelling
Sends back
Dreams to
Main brain
Explores the
World faster
Than a
Train, tram or plane

Blank Canvas
It's attitude was neutral
Neither here, nor there
Just a bare canvas
That stands without care
A vast space vibrating
It waits without rush
Filled with anticipation
For the stroke of a brush
Allowing anything
The artist desires
Till the picture appears
For all to admire

Calculations
Calculated mathematicians
Multiply their suspicions
Adding assumptions
While subtracting
Satisfaction
It all sums up
To a
Dramatic divide
Tuesday 15th October 2019 2:09 pm
In short supply
Sometimes you just have to give yourself a break from feeling bitter and give yourself a chance to love something. This isn't just about romantic love.
The best kind of love
Is without conditions
No doubtful suspicions
Or painful omissions
There is no one reason
For the feeling
Never defending
Or pretending
It just is
With No Ending
Sunday 13th October 2019 7:25 pm
Be Yourself
Deafened by definitions
About who we
Should be
Becoming blinded
By beliefs
We can't see
Consuming assumptions
Of society's strangers
Persistent peer pressure
Tries to
Rearrange us
But to yourself
You belong
You cannot
Be sold
There is
Nothing wrong
In breaking free
From the
Mold

A Taste Of Romance
Sweet at the tip
Then flavour slides
Take another sip
Sour at the sides
Swilling around
Taste starts
To lack
Now all
That's left
Is bitter
At the
Back

Birthday Flowers
Harsh words were spoken
A vase was then broken
Their only shared token
Of love
She'd waited for hours
For him to bring flowers
But instead he'd brought
Gardening gloves
This is not what she needs
Yet a packet of seeds
Is her gift
He'd practically bought
Without loving thought
And that was the
Start of their rift
Tuesday 8th October 2019 3:28 pm
Gloomy Monday

Ordinary
Nothingness

Yearning for more

Halloween Hiring
If you find yourself applying for a soul destroying job maybe...
A job's just come through
From Monsters UK
It's Halloween soon
There's demons
To slay

Main requirement
Being that
You can
Handle
Sharp fangs
Bring in your CV
Be it real
Be it fake
These Evil hearts
Need your
Hammer
And stake

Posh way
Of saying
I'm skint!

On hearing the speech....

So my
Promises are far flung
But these words
I've carefully strung

Driverless Journey
The last one
They'd take?
