a candy striped horn
the magical Ali corn
with wish granting wings

a happy new year
may you recover quickly
from your hangover

Your ocean blue eyes
carry me away on a wave
to the deep abyss of you

I drift up to the surface
The glittering parties
and hollow compliments

I land upon golden sands
a mermaid with feet
walking upon knives

Someday I will return
to the free ocean and live
with the whales and dolphins

Until then, my love,
I endure this dry land
The kingdom of you

Santa Claus once wore green
He was St Nicolas
The Christmas tree was once
the Tree of Life
The son was once the sun
All things change
but it’s all one

amy winehouse sings
a devil with angels wings
water into wine

voice diamonds cashmere
dark honey or black silk sheets
we  go back to black

whisky on the rocks
though you went back to rehab
only songs are left

android replicas
in psychedelic fractals
hawk on silver wings

lost infinite void
I’m a clone I’m not alone
replicas untold

master of the skies
limitless hawk speed of light
zeitgeist realised

angel is sleeping
breathes in sorrow breathes out love
hope dawns in the world

angel on the tree
longs to return to heaven
away from the greed

angels bringing dreams
demons stealing restful sleep
give them midnight wings

another new year
I often wonder
where the old ones go

a rainbow rising
rock music of whips and chains
wizard stargazing

a tower of stone
flesh to dust we resurrect
a triumphant roar

and in the vast skies
I see a rainbow rising
a rainbow of gold

are friends electric
mine’s run down no- one to love
car’s only machines

cloned white then to black
electronic waves delight
gary numan fans

a rippling song
robin defying rainstorm
liquid melodies

ball of joyful jumps
springs across sweet meadow grass
the flowers are laughing

bear of ice and snow
your home is blizzard and snow
you shine like a pearl

bear wakes up early
hungry there are no berries
earth’s global warming

beloved flower
reminder of sacrifice
bravely defending

sorrowful flower
says we must never forget
the trenches of hell

noble lives wasted
lions were led by donkeys
greatest pointless war

The Autumn sky is vast
there is no end
The swallows fly exultant
at Summers end

I track the endless sands
I long for peace
The innocence of birds
brings no release

Of meaning I have none
Nor harmony
Yet here I am again
This bitter sea

My heart was shattered
Broken glass
Shards of ice
Love’s a lie
and lies the word
I saw you with her
The blonde,the girl

But as you know
I’m bitter- sweet
I’ll cut the clothes
You keep so neat

I’ll order pizzas everyday
and strippergrams
I’ll make you pay

I hope you suffer
I hope you’re beat
One thing I know-
Revenge is sweet

I find it hidden in my garden
a secretive flower
I slowly unfurling it’s dusky petals
caressing it’s long stem

I am drawn to it’s inner bud
and caress it with my tongue until
sweet nectar flows

I am the Queen Bee
that creates honey from nectar
Grows orchids from black earth
and passion from poetry

black rats in the walls
lost inhuman skeletons
mountains of madness

nyarlathotep
great chthulu arising
in crawling chaos

colours out of space
the blind cosmic flute player
travelling serpentine skies

bluebells in woodland
sapphires over emerald
their gold the sunlight

Eyes infinitely blue
Spiritual skies hold rainbows
as your eyes do

Blue mountain
Summer dreams
have led me to your summit
I can breathe here
I am alone
I am at one
with your soft mists
and rugged trails
The meadows
breathe of peace
and Summer warmth
releasing perfume
of wild thyme
of honeyed air
of rosemary
and lemon thyme
I would stay here
with the pines
and lonely stars
Yet I descend
for you hold me
to the world

boy george swings both ways
twice as much fun has begun
in tasteless clothing

oh I wonder why
his karma chamaeleon?
and why donald trump?

had an idea
let’s build a wall around them
keep us safe from harm

calico kitten
with your whiskers aquiver
chasing butterflies

Cat curl
he unfurls
A black rose
with tiny toes

Each one thorned
and he grows
to a puffball

Sunrise
the alarm goes
Cats day no more
time to curl and snore

cat meditation
eyes half closed and slowly breathes
sadhak serene

celebrate sappho
auto da fe of poems
flames annihilate

poet expressing
the personal sphere of life
never yet described

three hundred lines left
life time of work destroyed
which shine diamond bright

There’s nothing quite like cheese
But the Japanese never quite understood
this strange choice of food
rotten and forgotten
But just to please you
In Japanese, if you love cheesu
you’ve really arrived

chocolate to golden
dances with the suns journey
flower of sunlight

choosing my vices
a new year’s revolution
marilyn manson

Ice fairies dance
romancing the window pane
with their diamond dreams
Melting into the love of the sun
His warmth elevates them
into Christmas angels

Christmas Day dawns.
The cat has loftily ignored it’s litter tray
in favour of a shoe.
The Christmas tree mopes,
it’s tinsel drooping
and the lights dimmed.

Aunt Ethel has outdone herself
with polka dot teatowels.
Happy Anniversary
mysteriously printed on them
I hope she dies this year.

Rising early in the morning
sherry, mince pies and milk all gone
Presents piled high under the tree

Laughing children joyfully open gifts
Snow falls, making this a perfect day
full of loving companionship

The next day skies are grey
but the memory of our wonderful day
is a rainbow in the sky above

When you came to the City of Angels
you were innocently winged
Now you joined the legions
of the fallen

Grace is your name
You were lost forever
one needle, one night
in a shadowed lane

One trick, humiliation
in the driving rain
But you are sheltered forever
under ravens wings

cloud grey dove flying
bird of mist and cobwebs
modest dust bunny

The icy stars
stare coldly down
The waning moon
removed
from all I am

Pale deceiver
Barren rock
in endless sky
While down below
We live
and love,then die

This is a colour song
Ombré viridian
bright silver and rose
Darkest obsidian
electrum light glows

Amber and pearl
Ocean and olive leaf
Candy pink for a girl
Indigo for all grief

Scarlet so bold
Ochre of earth hues
Violet so bold
Singing the deepest  blues

Bluebells in their ballgowns.
Daisies  in lace dresses,
poppies in bright uniforms.

Cornflowers, sky slivers
mown down like skies lightning rent.
The brief flowering of your life
is no more.

I gather you up,
but cannot redeem you
from the night’s silence,
from time’s ephemeral fleetness.

the creepy cat
washed itself diligently
first it’s tail
which vanished
then it’s body
which disappeared
finally, with invisible paws
it’s head.
Lovingly it surveyed
it’s sleeping owner.
It looked like her face
could do with
a spit and polish

daisy in the field
her eye the colour of sun
she still seeks his love

daisy is smiling
she is captured in a chain
small life fades away

dandelion  puff ball
dances in her lacy dress
mischievous breeze

dark side of the moon
eclipsing the sunlit bands
black angels playing

mysteries of time
revealed in deepest lost voids
oh run rabbit run

now home home again
operatic diamond song
shakti arising

Winter lace
adorns the windowpanes
Crisp white snow
crunches underfoot
a trail of crimson drops
lead to the winter woods

day at the races
a night at the opera
mercurial songs

dark piano plays
bohemian rhapsody
the white queen dreaming

a sheer heart attack
great king rat bought and sold
to a faithless world

The children had made a tiny snowman
with a baby carrot nose
Shining black beads for eyes
and a pearl button smile

That night it began to snow
and the poor snowman
was completely covered

Then an Angel saw him
She gave him two sapphires for eyes
and a diamond smile

She took him up to the heavens
and placed him there among the stars
Where he illuminates the skies
with his diamond smile

diva madonna
living in dark new york slums
moonlighting boudoir

a material girl
heart closed for so many years
when her mother died

for she was frozen
years when her heart was broken
now she cannot melt

still I see her dance
in dark arabic rhythms
give away our hearts

Don’t go until I have made you suffer
The day has turned drear and scrofulous
Insipid cats prowl in alleys
while dogs yearn to **** them

Opening doors you may find rude things
Like housewives **** with rubber gloves
cleaning china
and searching for stray hairpins
All is lost
