What have I got to complain about? I have a roof over my head, Food on my table, Change in my pocket, A man who loves me, And three wonderful children. My life is perfect. “Carriage seven of eight…” Next station: Somewhere Else. Even the Borg Lady in all her Computerised wisdom knows That […]
IOUN.FU.IGU
I GIVE UP, I resign, I’m going to walk away, I’ve changed my mind. You can kiss my ass, And take your leave, ‘Cause what you ain’t giving me, Is room to breathe. Do you want me to spell out to you? Do you want me to make an oath to you? Like the oaths […]
Survival of the fittest.
Bestiality, Sensuality, Race duality, Gene neutrality, False reality. Heavy like gravity, Love depravity, Up the salary, Measured by flattery, Ain’t no clarity, Just disparity. Broken charity, Class morality, Social insanity, Check the category, We ain’t ever free, Assault and battery, Remarks defamatory, Compliance obligatory, Take this guilt from me, Send it out to sea, Kill […]
The Black Lioness of Granada
I cannot speak to you, because I am mute. I cannot touch you for I do not have hands to caress you with. My skin is beauty incarnate, Though it is cold from years of forgetting, And dirty from the dust of an unfamiliar land. You do not see how I am in my soul; […]
Of Friends and Foes
I do not like insincerity, It irks me to the core, Be my friend, Or not, For I will not give you more, If you do not commit your heart, Then leave it at the door. As I will fully give of me, I expect the very same of thee. No half-measures, No short-cuts, No […]
A Blessing
All that I am, I have to give, Even my torrid heart. If all that I am is this old heart, Then my life is surely had. Beaten once by fortitude, My weakness my desire, I cannot strive to be so strong, If along the way I tire. Judge me not; this broken heart, That […]
Home Beacon – MPoWriMo
Sometimes a light shines out from nowhere, It seems, striking you right between the eyes. Like a target struck by the arrow of another’s heart, Replete with abundant love, and an awareness That you were always watched, and always safe. You just didn’t know it, because you could not see. Then the hand that was […]
M’s Poetry Writing Moments or, MPoWriMo – So what happened?
As the title suggests I have decided to re-jig the whole NaPoWriMo thing to be more accommodating to my own demands and desires, so sue me, but this is a personal blog after all. I’m just exercising my artistic rights 😛 I started the month in earnest with the poetry, intending to see each day […]
Muro – Day 5 – NaPoWriMo 2014 (MPoWriMo)
I place my fingers in-between the cracks of your walls, Paying attention to the crumbling stone, The silence that greets my touch. So much past, So many idle conversations had right here; Exhalations and tribulations spoken Like rising smoke, curling around the yellow Light of your singular lamp. Beneath your Watchful eye; you, listening […]
Woman – Day 4 – NaPoWriMo 2014 (MPoWriMo)
Have you seen this woman today? She makes me smile, cry a little, She blows me away. She takes my words And weaves them into silken strands, Fine and eloquent and full of poetry. Lyrical treacle running down my spine, Coating my every sensation with pleasured pain. This woman I love, She makes me […]
