Out of control.

Self-centred
Is reversed

Daisies in the

Do not lay daisies
At the roots of

By a gardening scythe.

Daisies do what
Daisies do

Remonstrance strong?

Odyssey
Mike Adam Sep 2017
Hitched a ride,
Dark matter.

Overtook light to the
Edge of expansion.

Over the edge to the
Beige beyond.

Nothing there, no-where.

Came home.

Home?

Homer.

Penelope you sit weaving.

Where?

Soft earth hardening
To frost-

Sharp claws
Deft holes

Pouted cheeks
Puff chromosomal
Seed

And cover.

Forgotten by
Overfed

Return
Mike Adam Mar 2022
We all find our own
Rocky road to hell.

Some unspool thread
Or scatter bread-
Crumbs

To sustain the way home.

For some it is beatrice
Angelically swaying

For me it Lady J

Patiently waiting

O to snatch
Mike Adam Feb 2022
O to ****** a phrase
From the plethora!

To catch a likeness
Of truth,
Verbally hooked-

To free
This
One
Instant

A tangle
Of sticky

Silk

Not yet dry enough

For weaving into

Beauty.

Who lose?
Mike Adam Mar 2018
The day time collapsed
Between my toes

I picked it out
With horned nails
And rolled a ball
To flick.

Time you slime
And mess big nose,
Inhibit breath.

You work for me,
Time

I shall not bow
You advocate of death

I spit on space
And defy the
Lack of power in
My.........

Hurt too many times
Walls between your

And mine.

Blue eyed
Take up your veil

I did not **** them
But let them die

Because their roots
Offended you

Coming Home
Mike Adam Jul 7
Settle in the corner where the cat sometimes curls,
Where the painting of chrysanthemums hangs
Free of all Distraction-

Where the single vase of tiny flowers
Sits and a solid lump of stone rests

Tremble

Tremble in the Face of Dawn-

First raucous caw of gull perched
on red-roofed house
With no remorse

And the white dog shows no fear
for the baby grey squirrel, Knowing
It shall not fall
