pixilate the mix

millpond surface

bizarre dislocate

choke expire

churning circles

crescendo waves

suffocation

commotion train

walls raise

sapped out

instinct prayer

damm reborn

breathing

hope ?

She sat waiting

Waiting to be picked up

Waiting to be nurtured

 loved

She waited

Noisily at first

With ever decreasing

Whimpers, moans

sobs

She waited

Until she cried no more

She expected no more

She hoped no more

lone

She stopped waiting

mind meeting

In any discussion

confrontation or talk

there'll be a leader

a rebel

and all

the rebel daring to differ

the sheep calling  to norm

the leader shouting order

thrusting chest

wider and wider
thorax stiffens

Darer do 

Darer die 

Sheep follow and shy

Leader win win and win

Fluidity of fallacious moving

Astounding and amazing

Centrestage

Doing your thing

Crouching prowling

Stealthily cajoling

Talons flicking

Attention catching

Flesh flash

Showing with swing

Touching rubbing

Uneasily stirring

Meagre creatures unable to perform

Unless spellbound

Terminal Rain

It rained, the roads washed away,
It rained, the washing stayed wet,
It rained, the cats hid under cars.
Raining, raining more, terminally raining

How Low Can you Go?

The low ebb is descending
A rhyme from a pop song
Reverberates the background
It’s melodic chant daring her lower

Tiredness all around no respite
Sleep depravation increase the tome
No good news war sickness
No puppy dog tales only poverty
Take it to the chorus litany of woe

Shutters coming down
Closing up shop
Humanity good bye
Sign off gone for a while
I’ll be in bed

Rhythmic clapping
Stomping feet
C’mon Eileen
Darkness surrounds
No white light

Judgement descends how long to stay
Am I ready to depart or interlude
Difficult decision in trance like mode
Get it wrong county homeward bound
Heaven can wait let’s breathe in

WRITING - an acrostic poem

We can only dream
Regaling the theme
Increasingly extreme
Trooping the regime
Internal esteem
Never will redeem
Great words in bloodstream

Motor Mouth

my mouth - god bless it
has arms and legs and motors on
at 200 miles an hour
it sprints along faster an faster
vying for a place in the
world mouth games
pink lips moving
yellow teeth gleaming
sharp pointy words burst
without a brain to stop them
it should carry a warning
emblazoned in Red
and there's always a butt,
usually me, but sometimes you,
smitchy litchy bitchy words
callous unthinking brutal words
and whenever you may meet it
to my mouth
don't forget to say
Shut Up

Wasted

girl -

Look at your face

can you see it?

death as the mask

Pale, lifeless, gaunt

Tired, hurt, bruised

what point is pain?

girl -

those drugs you take

don't make you good

scratched bleeding arms

take over body

invade the brain.

When did you feel?

girl -

you are a waste

messed up big time

home is cardboard

in shop doorways

dirty blankets

will you take help?

Obliteration

bad man came calling

gave me grief and some

new order said share it

trouble no go way

annihilation

hit him hard, alarmed

shame killed him

stone dead, cheers

Daddy Die

crematorium

in restorium

daddy gone

entomb none

image dad

mourning lad

faces wreathed

last he breathed

stoked chimney

full gurney

daddy missed

flock dismissed

wake begins
