"fantasist" poems
Blah Blah Blah!
In a blaze of anger I exploded.
His personal torment,
He created for himself.
I told the world a pack of truth.
About the sheep in lupine garb.
Dressed not in a sauce of mint.
Inedible,
Toxic to the end.
Darling, your good friends left.
Go curl up and die.
My friendship expelled at last.
My heart is fixed.
Go have a blast,
Poetic fantasist.
Straight from the heart of ex romantic.
For I am not to be destroyed.
Annoyed once by his drunken rants.
His narcissism.
The fairy tale he decried.
The one so truly self absorbed.
Stuck in syndrome,
Peter Pan.
Expelled his faeces.
Only way that I know how.
Wrote my heart out.
Demon exorcised.
Care not,
should I be cursed.
Now i'm gone.
Guess what,
I'm fine!

confined to four blank walls my whole life
my soul untethered, my hands chained to walls
escaping through my own mind time after time
wondering what the outside world must look like
I’ve always been a dreamer, a romantic, a fantasist
I try to escape, I fail, I try again
my legs are ****** and my abdomen scarred
there are marks of defeat on my face
and a fire burning in my eyes
for no life is truly lived if it is not lived free
and no death is truly death, if it sets you free
so burn me to ashes and turn me to flame
then scatter me across the globe
may tulips grow from my empty eye sockets
and roses between my ribs
may apple trees grow from my fingers
and old ferns from my neck
sprinkle me in the deepest river
and toss me in the valleys of snow
empty me into the soil and let me grow
and once that is done, I will finally be able to see
the world I’ve always dreamt of coming to me
in death I will find my living
and in death I will find my peace
*light me on fire
and set me free*

Distraction! The skirting board is alive.
Last year's grit at the back of a desk;
you have a story to write,
a good friend to deceive, phone calls
to make to indifferent ears.
Dirt accumulates, black algae
in the carpet, and nothing on your mind.
There is an ****** in the sidelines,
it will have to wait – a soap opera,
a bath of salt, a supply of coffee:
catalyst for the morning,
some razor blade, a brand new face.
“A necessity!”she drools, a fragrant potion,
whilst children cry and die in Gaza.
The cigarette falters in its promise,
the fantasist friend, last year's prophet;
you have a life to live
but that can wait another year.
Love sits in your mouth, fat accumulation;
tasteless reprieve from hunger, a motion-
anything to escape stillness, immediacy.
Men in drag lift their skirts to the screen,
the fool is on the hill, the billboard; a dream
of fame litters your focus, your self-hood.
There is a pyramid built for better people,
all these old institutions – indefatigable ladder!
The rings of tea caramelise on the table,
married to the places you have been before.
Elusive enterprise – unfulfilled spark,
you suffocate in oxygen, heat lost to air,
embrace yesterday's comfort, tomorrow's snare.
Take another day inside this indistinguishable prison.
The walls are glass. Eligible, you vote for Hope.
For the drug of the future, a disbursed present
for minimum wage, accepting slave; your eventual grave.

(Hive Wired)
As wires round the world get lighter and thinner
the autoscroll feeds you fourty-nine homicides
from desktops at noon to plasma at dinner
the auto-cue commits sixty-five more crimes.
Mad and red in the face, you picture yourself
pace by pace, walking the span of the kitchen
but the network fail to mention the other seven billion
who kept living their life devoid of such sinning.
Typhoonous winds and hurricane fever
head out the window, yell for your kingdom,
yell so we hear you ’til you’re hoarse and unkempt.
yell 'til your sad old neighbour get’s hell bent.
Step back to the desk and slam on your keyboard
tell all that you know that there’s more to life
than watching the ’strife of idiocy’ part two thousand
and something, there’s more to this world
than serving a system; there’s more to a system
than the buds at the top, the roots don’t need trimming
the buds must be stopped from dying and rotting
and killing the crop. Still glum? Relax in your favourite shop!
With a roof overhead and your screen polished down
forget the anger, the strife, and fantasist who yelled.
tip-tap the day away, earn and pay away that frown
forget how lonely you are and buy some new health.
Tip-tap-a-tip-tap-a-tip-tap away the evening and next day
Now you live vicariously through social media
you cannot stop networking, lonelier… lonelier.
Connections you make get quicker, and quicker.
You pick and you carve a residual image.
‘Life is the greatest’ on appearance
the best fools fool themselves, it’s addictive
post after post you build up a rhythm.
Second life, third face, prosodical features:
hive mind rewired you’re speechlessly grinning
Staring at screens you’re now silent at dinner,
your diary entries get sparser and sparser
you forget appearances are a farcical demeanour
sixth chord diminutive, false life fever: your square
-eyed and ill groomed head sits on a hunchback miser,
the hive mind keeps ticking you keep getting wiser.

Insanity
Is how it shall be
Now that normality
Has departed,
Long gone
And uncharted
That line in the sand
It did expand
It swallowed whole
Every unstable soul
Every extremist
Every fanatical fantasist
Our morals drowning
In a sea of demons
An ocean of dystopian dreams,
Where we now lust and embrace
Such ludicrous extremes,
Vivid vivisections
Of intricate intersections
This alternative in place
Wears a mask on it's face
A disguise of lies
With a desire to despise
A parade of a pompous parody
To control through chaos
And manipulate humanity
Careful how you tread
And from whose hand you are fed
What you seek as innocence
Is ***** under the influence
Drugged and deranged
Compassion exchanged
On the stock market floated
And for all of this ,
This life of inadequacy
We stood in lines and voted

A fantasist in her own
She built her best and her worst,
Staying awake by the fire
She wrote tales of her cursed fights,
Lost in profound thoughts,
She found her peace she never got,

There is a man with a grave in his head
and he wanders from town to town,
singing songs of crows and death and God.
Some say he is an undertaker,
some say he is a vessel of the devil,
but they all agree that he means them harm.
There is a man with blood on his name.
A child of six finds him by the mercat cross
with a stare that chills his brittle bones.
The sun rises up with a limp
and casts his shadow long and gaunt
and fragile and black.
He offers out a smile
but it grimaces
and forms a dark, crooked sneer.
There will be death here by noon.
Church bells and raised voices
gather above the rooftops
and descend as black rain,
like tar, sticky and oily.
They have made their choice.
Weapons are gathered
and war songs penned
and faces painted blue and red.
There will be death within the hour.
A confrontation of silence and conflagration.
He sits there, still, momentarily lost
in the warning call of a fantasist
with a pen too small for his ideas.
The crowd before him swells even further,
nervous anger and shaking knives.
He stands up quick,
and the villagers twitch as a single entity.
He holds up one bony finger.
One body.
One is all he needs.
There is a bloodbath.
He sits alone surrounded by people,
blood forming patterns in the grass and gravel,
like Point de Venise.
He clicks an impressed tut
and takes his belongings off his cart.
It is too small today.
He will have to make several trips.
And all the while,
hour after hour,
day after day,
that smile will never leave his scarred face.

Did the clues betray the fantasist
from Uncle Bulgaria on the Cornwall move
alas his mother dies yearly
twice so far anyway
as the wind cries liar
but lets take a specialist narcissist
too busy planning a wedding on that train
from Vietnam to volunteer
in Uganda or Gambia
as voices speak in head
been there done it Mr Revisionist
he was at the barricade at the Bastille
hoisting the tricolour he writes
as ladies swoon
he's done them all
our Chamberlain is now Revolutionist
fighting for a New World order on keyboard
after he left the RAF
do let tell worthless bullies
the clues are in plain sight
the contempt is resounding
even Buddha knows that

There stands our Novel Chamberlain
Xenophobic uber-prat with top dog pretensions
a weak chine coward showing profile unrefined
goggles dark, black shirted.shameless bully craves attentions
parody of a man mired in semblance exuding puerile ignorance fine
insipid pale republican Tonton Macoute compensating his limitations
There stands our novel Chamberlain
a oaf with mildew loaf, the ubiquitous Brown shirt warrior
he's here, there pontificating absurd prose worthy of disdain
cringing vocabulary, warped voyeuristic styles, he straddles Parlio
emitting odious **** of a mentally deranged finding shelter in de rain
basking in mock praises from acolytes and accounts in his alter-egos
There stands our Nonentity Chamberlain
the charlatan of all poetic sides and raconteur un- magnifique
he's eaten in Laos, slept i Siberia, climbed the Laurent and lion slain
been all over the world, bedded women from China to Mozambique
he is a trialist, finalist, racialist, specialist, a fantasist, all but not plain
as he sits in ***** drawers in a dingy room masking his life oblique
There stands our 'no-mark' Chamberlain
dark shades and black T-shirt a poser fantasizing he is a G-man
look behind the facade and see the under-endowed troll insane
a coward, a nasty, witless, brain addled yob and **** fresh in a can
show me the confident wholesome being who does like this knave
a fake con artist, buffoon, with the pretentious guise so much in frame

Whenever I got serious, and told you that I just want us,
nothing else now matters and only you can flatter or shatter
everything that is mine.
You stayed like you are mine,
until no other guy gave you any sign
of interest
without another thought, you broke my trust,
it was unjust, felt like it was out of lust.
Was it all my fantasy, couldn’t you behave with a little decency?
When we started, when our hearts and sorrows parted,
you told me that you would never change,
that it would never get this strange,
or is it some kind of revenge?
It didn’t have to end like this,
3 years ago, being together was the only bliss,
and oh my! that kiss.
Can I say that I still love you,
One day, you will forget everything and say, Fantasist? Who?
Even then I will be within you somewhere,
my voice will faint and words will blare,
that’s when you will care.
My thoughts and words will blend,
but at that time, we will end.

why even attack,
slyly creep under
or even parasitical nibble
at a figurine
that in 100 years will (
gain impetus akin
to an Alexander the Great... ?
a joke of a surname... )
when you have
all the grey
areas of an erwin lambert
to mind...
the joke that was ******
that became the mythological
romance akin to Attila...
the congested mouth of
human history,
lacerated, cancerous,
tooth-rot
and a tongue of gangrene,
nothing, but theatre,
surviving;
give it 100 years...
and no sooner the moths
that might agitate the flame...
but all they grey-mass-in-between...
ihre vater, die "wenigscherz"...
how these children
sum up the evil
in one but man...
peddlestooled into the lime
from the cameo...
dictator helpless before
dictatorial mass of bureucrats...
hier! hier ihre eisenvorhang!
break the rank
of the patron of bureucrats
(herr Kant)...
and place
the sztylet of Brutus,
with a semi-patricide scorn into...
a nail within
the hanging frame of
a dandy crux...
a feeling akin to:
castrating a pedegree Alsatian:
shining teeth...
pumped teeth...
impersonal the gnashing...
most of the time i imagine
myself reincarnated
in a theatre of a castrated
rottweiler...
making stretched-clown-masks
from strangers' skins
of childrens' faces...
just for kicks...
mind you...
apparently the N.S.A.
has all the personal data briefing
whether or not...
i'm jihadi material...
or just a fantasist /
fetishist...
good to know that even I,
do not have knowledge,
of a minority report;
must have whisked passed me
on a feline whim of
teasing a whisker before
a fetish for: leisuring a Mexican
in cleaning a dilemma's worth
of a paw;
prepare th mince...
an obese exhibit with
Alzheimer's...
during warfare,
war dogs & dogs require
the most contaminated meats,
to add to their expected
ferociousness...
ha ha...
the Nazis didn't insaminate
their subjects with
feline *****
why is Frankenstein
so pale...
and transgenderism, so, norm?
