From a news-paper of the past

seen in an old dusty garage

the lense took a GODLY take

of two birds kissing for day's

a picture of what could've been

LIFE on the front page.

Smoke drumrolls dance,

indigenous
verve,

observed
conserved
preserved
reserved

a shaman's stance

reduced

to an historical prance.

In the quicker sand

deeper than I've ever been

slip sliding away

I still see the gravedigger's *****

6ft deep in the shallows

Stay strong
.................... hide the emotion
ride the wave
.................... grid the grain

set the standard

engrave the edge.

Do not concern yourself
with verbal abuse
they are deeply disturbed
enclosed and confused.

When the good die young

respect the ashes of urn

the child she had birthed

symbolic of white roses
beheld it's wilt potpourri.

Respect the desert

the Tsamma holds providence

natural balance

Soon very soon
we will witness
death by avalanche
and the world
will be praying for ice.

Jekyl or Hyde
above the belly
on a beer tap
in the ally,
below the waste
goombaya
out of the preachers face,
it's my body Yue!!!
now You!!! tattoo this on on my chest,
permanently
now hidden behind a vest.
gin & tonic
sure don't mean tiger
given to a drunk crit
as an insult from China.

The real garter
a vicarious slaughter
the royal flush never bought it
Dodi craoked on it
while Camilla caught it.

Weaving a thin line

paying her lovers in kind

she's a man eater.

Don't forget to remember
complacency kills reality
the image is photographic
and still time means nothing
without the library.

To us as gifts were
given 12 metal keys
the rustiest
is forgiveness
it's grace got blessed
by the giver of life.

No you won't be tagged for hash.
YOU ARE NOT AN EXPERIMENT
EAGLES WATCH THEIR YOUNG
Look there's Jackal's  
Find out for yourself.

Jou koffie moer broer
said the colloniser of Jan's brew

Grey bound
Green leaves
Grandpa's dream
Grandma's crown.

When the tide rises all ships are raised
it was fundamtally
mother Mary's call.
When boats fell
from standing tall
it's captain took the fall,
who laid hands
on such innocence
who took a stand
albeit a woman
a child
or a man,
is the ocean too deep
and the river too wide
are we as a people
afraid of the fault
caused by crimson tides,
who are we praying for?
Jesus rose when he died
where She humbly stood for
nations to rise.

Are we poles apart
a dress rehearsel  
for a form of art
who get's hurt
and who has fun,
is it papel tops
or is it nOnes;
Were The human heart
pigmented
for the colour of blood
are we hinged on Icarus wings

Asked?

the third world from the sun.

And there we all die

exposition mindboggling

for the naked soul

I found myself
in a circle of chips
fighting the circus of life
if only the old oak
could shed some light
I guess his bark
was bigger than his bite.

A fossil rocks on the beach
alcoholic breath
with dynamic speech
the question was your dad
I must have meant T rex
the devil of that era
her mom lit up her eyes
died too early hurly burly
Rex got rash
drank whisky and smoked hash
he turned mean
she turned blue
like Monday's trash
ran away after eighteen
a cycad on the waterfront
telling true stories
a message ON the bottle
slamming at full throttle.

Unveiled no clothes

for a ******* exposed

a pro's grand$lam

at a one night stand.

Molten wax
on candlesticks
deep
there my head
toppled
for you my sweet,
skull-demons
keeps me awake
while your beauty sleeps,
are we dead men living
under the torment
of a captor's keep
for a honeycomb
laced with nectars
bitter weep.

Bad taste or good humour
love or lose
death lives
whoever
you
are
whatever
youv'e been,
hasbeen
just like us!!!! even the qeen
left behind
hurting
someone elses mind.

A dying breed
in living color
at warp speed

Asleep in the head

rent free and very well fed

shhhhhh  there's monsters there

Oh the omnipresent soul
like a terracotta sponge
absorbing our resolve
now and forever after.

Barefoot down the aisle
clean feet
well groomed
a matrimonial journey
enticingly different
filled with pitfalls
trials and tribulation
[on holy ground
where there are angels all around us.]

Deep rooted without thought
about compensation.

Demons under a roof

a rejection?

a deception?

a pity party for one

whisky and a gun

an alley in the pun

fool proved!!!

Caught
and
crushed
inside the butterfly
trap
it's simply "lemonade"
at the goosebump
parade.

It was mid winter
I paled in comparison
I'd say walk away
it is harrowing
the thought
if having stayed
after all
it was just me
on bad days
it is summer now
the mirror reflected
when I defected.

I love a miserable day

tomorrow should decay

Just like yesterday

Make-up for women
salad dressing for men.

As a penny with a hole in it,
someone else spun a coin
that inspired my time.,
So far away from me
you're so far away.
Red, red wine
and there we go again,
You are always on my mind.

I can see the drops drip
permanent, soluble.
disappointment, glory
it speaks volumes
of a journey in solitude.

Drain the sinewed brain

of twilight's limboed occult

help the humane rest

inspire our futures first

nightmares die
where good dreams live

Nothing is hidden

the mirror reveals a crack

guess who's looking back.
