Nick and Dave

 

He's magical

like Elvis.

Like Elvis

not many know

he has a twin.

 

Embreo split like yin and yang

encompassing the universe's majesty.

Death and rebirth.

Light and dark.

Fear and love.

And all that's in-between.

 

One child playful as oompa loompas

all dancing and silly songs.

The other the underside of a scratched CD

and f...

We're All in this Together

My last poem I submitted about a minute ago was more lovey dovey.

 

This one is back to my usual opinionated anarchist self lol.

 

Enjoy peeps :)

 

We're all in this together,

Reclaim this Tory spin.

Rip the words from the campaign poster,

put the paper in the recycle bin.

 

Workers of the world UNITE!

Students of ...

Palindrome Girl

I see a palindrome girl,

Luminous she glows back to front

Onwards with Snow White beauty.

Vivid visions veer me towards a vortex of

Excellency in your execution of poetic elocution.

 

You are humbler than Pi

Oh you circumference my heart at 3.142 much

Unable to justify your magnificence with words.

Avatar like, I s...

Fourth Wall of Faustus

 

Memento mori – remember you must die.

Faustus heed thy warning.

Speaketh not devils,

Angels exeunt with wretched abandon.

 

Enter Indigo.

 

Thine saviour art not light nor dark.

Thou art thine saviour,

Thy soul art Medusa in thy mind,

Thou darest not meet its gaze...

frozen as Atlantis abyss.

 

Thawed as a lobster in

Satan’s furna...

Death in a Library

Here's another recent poem, I've been offline recently with computer problems so I've not shared much new work on here, I apologise.

 

Here's a piece I performed at last month's Freed Up, and at the Halloween Special of my own anything goes open mic/space (because we're not all wordsmiths, some people dance or play instruments) arts event OpenMind.

 

It's quickly becoming one of...

Afraid to Dance

 

She was naked – underneath her 7 veils,

She didn't dance, even shoes subdued her.

 

She removed her first veil:

She was depressed until she met me.

 

She told me of scabs that remained opaque in her memory,

She revealed this truth whilst self-love remained hidden.

 

She held my arms, comforting the butterfly - she broke the chains that cocooned him.

Extreme Complicity

Now it’s not that extreme violence,

Extreme scorn,

Extreme bigotry,

Extreme hate…

Aren’t extreme, they’re just mainstream.

People spit and sip from this poisoned chalice with malice.

On both sides,

Of the equation.

 

But what of the old people who smile, act happy,

Yet calmly state “I won’t go to a shop that’s run by a Paki”?

Blame TESCO for destroyin...

A Galaxy Far Far a Gay

Never felt I belong,

A lone geek alternative in an

un familiar

un friendly

galaxy.

 

More clones than the Rebel Alliance could muster,

Surrounded by Sontarans.

Fat

ugly

dirty

dirt filled men with venom laced fingernails

and

tongues spitting acid.

 

My naive self penetrated like the Death Star,

No sign of Han Solo.

I sail solo
