"prams" poems
From the House Of Ali -Najaf to the House Of Hussain-Kerbala, Swarms of people walk 80kilometres for threes days- united, The largest peaceful gathering in the world with free services, An experience like no other. Blessed are those who walk, More blessed are those who serve. No discrimination, Regardless of sect, profession or social status, Rich or poor, Young or old, Men or women, In wheel chairs, crutches or with Zimmer frames, Prams or hand carts, All march with respect and dignity, With one thought in mind, To pay allegiance to Hussain, Who sacrificed his head for humanity. Every eye is moist, Every heart torn in grief, Chanting"Labbaik Ya Hussain." With an iron will to complete the walk. A nation, war-torn, wounded, Embraces the whole world in the name of Hussain, The longest dining table, Where every zuwar is honoured and treated like royalty, To pay in currency, none, Only love and kindness and an urge to serve the zuwars. Along the roadside are set up Mowakebs (tents), That provide every kind of facilities and amenities , Food,beverages medicines,toiletries, Fresh clothes if need be, shower rooms and toilets, A massage of your feet, Services to charge or repair your phone's,zimmer frames or prams, Anything for the zuwars, All in the name of the Ahle bayt, Mohamed,Ali,Fatema,Hassan and Hussain. What Hussain and his followers were denied is served with outstretched arms, The aftermath  of Kerbala was more tragic and callous, The tears of Binte Zainab that retold the tragedy again and again, Has born fruits, The zuwars multiply in numbers every year, The rewards greater.

It's London, all the time, when at night I close my eyes, it's when and where I get to roam and dwell, in the city I know inside-out so well, where all the narrow streets and cobbled stones, teacups, pint glasses, and fresh scones, lend themselves into the misty English air, of London's ancient, yet so modern flair, of Piccadilly, and Hyde Park Corner's box, riding Black Cabs, or a big Red Double-Bus, evening gas-lamp walks with ol' Saucy Jack, fish and chips and shandys for a perfect snack; then the changing of The Guard at Buckingham, where native Cockney's and young mums with prams, gather for a view of Lizzy's Royal Family Show; but, my, how rich the April sun sets and does glow, over the rolling raging river Thames of yore, where ancient Roman armies marched to shore, proclaimed: LONDINIUM! -the regal rest, of civilised peoples and the Royal Crests, where lives and deaths would go and come, yet The City despite all odds has lost and won, in the hearts, souls and minds of all who take, great London as their true hearth and home to stake, and arise and fall the poet's versing nights and days, whilst Big Ben chimes his toll in the foggy haze; and alas, London from my slumber dissipates, to that of which I yearn and love, asleep or wake, knowing where my home of soul-keep lies divine: in London, my dear London; it's London, all the time. ______ London: http://beautyineverything.com/3366195864

And he saw it now and then the lamp lit row of houses that stretched beyond the eye houses where men who dug black slept and drank when they could ageless cobbles pried on men who fought in the street over want, women and work while little men sons played foolish games of childhood daughter women with prams mothered their plastic dolls and the wives gossiped about young Sally who had a belly by John Stout the butcher boy the reverend Ellis knew all the stories and chapters of life in this coal dust street he birthed them baptised them married and buried them and the street was quiet no vehement voices tonight as the deed of death slipped over the cobbles and gripped a sleeping soul.

COAL DUST STREET
Crescendo the silent beat of hearts in chests at all things nigh and beauty, or lovers' eyes locked in stargaze wrest, on cue as sunrise scarlet symphony. Fortissimo in birdsong chirp and banter while car horns blare with careless fervour ; on pavements listless feet in patter as suits and ties commute in canter. At noon the music peaks, forzando. Soccer mums braced in cafe convo of lunchtime gossip in staccato while babes in prams asleep in piano. On cue at sundown scarlet symphony the baton slows in rallentando. Call to slumber twilight melody- the daily music diminuendo.

Daily Symphony
Blueberry lip balm And strawberry gum The chorus of a love song These are a few Of my favourite things Smiling out loud And the hum of quiet Watering plants And waving hello Chunky monkey Ben and Jerry's ice cream Walking in the rain Tetris and snake is the game Writing on fogged up windows I like anything that glows Daddies pushing prams And old couples holding hands Rolling down hills Christmas lights Shining so bright Lighting up the night Blowing out candles And making wishes Smiley faces In all of my texts Cloud watching Puddle splashing Jumping down steps Swinging at the park Counting stars after dark Mindless doodles Ballerina twirls Fast cars And shooting stars Family get togethers And child curiosity Day dreaming Butterflies And rainbow colours These are a few of my favourite things What are yours?

My favourite things
Sunday - the weekend's tombstone, burying the worst of last week. The silent ringing of church bells, best suit coffined in my wardrobe. I see proud parents pushing prams, grandads toddling after toddlers, but no young couples promenade, as we did when teenagers. Some sought their compensation in sensational Sunday press. It's surely generational. We were schooled for Sunday rest.

Sunday
Lunchtime stroll = ugly couples, prams pushed by youth, smell of corn on the cob,eyebrow maintenance, baklava. Dull train update: man who looks squeezed at both ends, like an accordion, with glasses, a lucozade bottle half empty, lady appears perplexed by a crossword clue (but it may be sudoku). Clouds outside seem to cover the black to white spectrum. Dull train update: a sign, a lyric repeating itself 'an even cash flow: this cannot be underrated', the cranking of metal the smell of meat. 50/50 weather. Left foot, loose lace and canned laughter follows him everywhere but he feels nothing, inside he is empty, save from a series of ropes and pulleys that control his movements. The parents are being pushed in the swings by their offspring, grown men in nappies crushed up in bulging prams. Cats eating dogs. Humans ******** on pigeons. It's all a bit weird today.

these past few days
follow the yellow brick road... The terrible freedom unleashed by typewriters. Condition of complexity judged without criteria. Radical provocations. Urinals and prams. Contingent. Anarchist aesthetic. Not truth nor beauty but freedom. Materiality of language. Multi-hued wheel barrows. A cuttlefish. A crate. A cassowary. A cigarette. A ****** Paratactic order. Particular phrasing. Pulsing pastiche. An infinite conversation without resolution as with the stupid friend who won’t shut up. Ever. A transcendent dialectic based solely on proximity. Ineluctable modality of the near. Only that. Buck it. An unquiet ghost endlessly self-questioning. No answers. Moaning in the meaning. A simple stuttering. Sibilant. Turbulent and unpredictable as waddling wolverines. Words that only mean whatever is seen. Juxtaposition. Dissolving into desired dissonance. The magic chord. Absolute verity in the experience of the fraudulent for the same reason as the ubiquity of toothpaste. The poem as its own universe, complete and whole, fodder for the mind, not balm for the soul.

A Road Map To Modern Poesy
You hide your hair in the space above your tucked-away thoughts; waterfall wor d s that run into strea m s of consciousness out of red dam lips and through airy pipes to my manhole ears, stepped on and discarded by feet and prams for century's years.

How You Hide Your Hair
I can't recall being born, The cuddled snug of being warm Beneath a roof so weathered On a seasoned flax-mill farm. I've an inkling of being two, In a scene played out by me and you; On a mattress, in the sun - A new-born cried, and died too soon. Then memory's blur cleared by three, We sailed away on the Irish Sea On a listing boat, across the Blue, The last link to the last banshee. By four we'd long since slammed the door, And I knew cowboys and Celtic lore - A new-born cried, she died too soon, The eye peeped through the Judas door. By five so many had left the home; By eight a.m. we were left alone Pushing prams, swings and forward, No T.V.,  radio or telephone. At last, by six, I clearned the webs, A whole new world lay dead ahead - A new-born cried, he died too soon; By seven I'd internalized The dreaded finality Borne by the dead. .

Borne By the Dead
I am a holder of dolls, said Monica, I keep them in my arms in light and dark, I sleep with one in my bed at night, her fuzzy hair tickles my face, my dreams are of my mother's cries, her anguish over the men who come. I am the bearer of her smacks, her voice vibrates in my ears, her hand marks colour my skin. My window looks out on fish shop below, the baker's shop on the left, on narrow Meadow Row, the bomb sites on either side. My mother's men come and go, they make her laugh or cry, they sleep beside her in her double bed, I hear their voices in the dark, the sounds of giggles or weeping, the slapping of hands on flesh, the darkness brings me bogeymen and shadows. One of the men, crept to my bed, removed my doll, touched my leg, lifted my nightdress, our little secret he whispered to me, the darkness swallowed him up, the dirtiness left in his wake. I am the sleeper of light sleep, I listen for the sound of creeping feet, for the door **** to move , for the door to open, for the hands to touch, for the secrets kept. From my window I see the children at play on the grass below, with toy guns, bows and arrows, dolls and prams, they look for me to join in, to enter their games, the boys seek me as their cowgirl moll, they ride their invisible horses across the plains, shooting out their cowboy dreams. I watch the sky darken, the moon a silver coin, the clouds puffs of smoke, my mother calls me to meals, the table and chairs, old and stained, her man friend drinks and smokes, makes silly remarks, ***** jokes, me he pinches (under the table) or secretly pokes. I am the holder of dolls, they are my true companions, they never complain, they share my dreams, they share my pains. From my window I see Benedict play, he alone knows of my plight, he my knight in cowboy shirt and jeans, my teller of tales, my listener of woes, he buys me sweets or chips after our games, walks me home with his 6 shooter gun resting in the holster by the side of his leg, his cowboy hat slanted to one side. He keeps my secrets, holds my hand over busy roads, eyes the men my mother brings home, guns them down in our shared dreams. I kiss his cheek as a kind of thanks, he blows me a kiss from his open palm as he rides the bomb site plains, he knows my fears of the men and my mother's smacks and the pains, he stares at my mother with his hazel eyes, his steady stare, he alone likes me, he alone is there.

I am a sitter at windows, said Lucia; I am a thinker of sad thoughts, a gazer at stars and moon and the bright hot afternoon sun. My thoughts taunt me like bullying children, they repeat words and images and strings of verbal abuse like repetitive ***** I sit at the window with folded arms, my *** numb on the window ledge, my eyes peering through the netted curtains, taking in the sights, the people, the cats and dogs, the cars and buses, the odd cyclists, the women pushing prams, children crying at the side. I see and know my childhood ghosts, the locked doors, the no supper nights, the starving rumblings of an empty stomach, words bellowed through the doors by angry parents. I am one who stares from windows, one who snoops through netted curtains, taking in the sights, hearing imperfectly the outer sounds, the stolen kisses and hugs from teenage loves, the backyards fondles, *** on the cheap, lives, loves, kisses and holds. I see new moons, quarter moons, half moons and full moons and the lunatic surge pulls me in and pushes me out, my moods change like the waves of the sea, the deeps drowning me in depression, the black dog’s bark, thoughts of death in a bath, slit wrists, over doses, hanging behind a bathroom door like mother had, eyes popping, tongue protruding. I think of past loves, dream of what might have been, the boys who came and went, the ones who stayed and spoiled, the girls who stayed the night for sensual *** or schoolgirl kisses, of visits to an asylum before mother’s demise, the locked doors, the cruel cries and lunatic laughter, the odd looking staff, the eyes, the tongues, the finger gestures from closing doors. I see the work of the gods in my daily stares, the passing people on their way to death or work or love or indecent *** with another’s love, or a child innocent as a flower’s bud plucked and pulled and brain washed by an adult hand and tongue. I am one who sees what’s come to an end and what’s sadly begun.

There's a certain kind of magic- in the surging of the streets, pounding tired feet, children squealing, prams wheeling, a tide unquelled by grey sky a sparkle in the dull hope of a scratchcard owners eye this is the city exhaling fumes and inhaling dreams

Crouching beggar upturned cup Singing children hunger sup Mongrel bounds on a short chain We are all caught in the rain Policeman standing proud Busking waifs are singing loud ******* lies where it was lain We are all caught in the rain Pigeons bobbing strut right by Seagulls scream with glinting eye Old man mutters 'not insane' We are all caught in the rain Babies hold up their palms Mothers push them in their prams Babies google their necks crane We are all caught in the rain.

Spice saves you from the cold Scrambling desperate for heat Hands out with head back twitching Begging at my feet In shop doors on the floor Never seen a higher street Zombies with good manners Trying to catch a nights sleep Sparking fires in cans inhaling dark Warming hands by freezing hearts In sight of prams out in the park Laying wasted on a landmark Their minds, bodies and money is all spent Nasty habits got them here Nothing for food, nothing for rent Nights spent on streets in constant fear Stumbling blind side into me Old tracksuits combating crisp cold Not searching for cheap silence or throwaway sympathy Not trying to fit a societal mould Like a dear in the headlights they stare So startled, so close to the ending A thinking mans ****** I’m the ignorant man stood, pretending That I can’t see you there Craving synthetic highs Because if it’s natural it’s not aloud Packaged up in labs and factories Down the supply chain to customers who sleep on cobbled ground

Zombies With Manners
Benny and Helen got off the bus at Camberwell Green, and Benny showed her the shops, and they looked around; he at the toy shops looking at guns and holsters, and rifles with pictures of cowboys on the packet, and she at dolls and prams, and skipping ropes; then he showed her the hospital where he was born which was a way further along a long road. That's where I was born, he said, showing her the hospital, pointing it out.   Why were you born there, and not Guy's hospital? Helen said. Because my mum lived in Dulwich then, and not the Elephant, Benny said. O I see, said Helen, wide-eyed through her thick lens spectacles. I was born in Guy's hospital, Helen said. They stood watching for a while, then they walked back to the shops again, and found a cafe, and went in, and Benny bought them both ice creams, and they walked to Camberwell Park, and sat on one of the seats, and ate their ice creams. I was in another hospital when I was about 6 weeks old, Benny said. Why was that? Helen said. I had a twisted gut, Benny said, and nearly died. Helen gazed at him: her eyes big and shocked. Did you? she said. Yes I was baptised in the hospital, and my aunt, and some medical staff were my godparents, Benny said. Glad you didn't die, she said. Me too, Benny said, couldn't have bought these ice creams then, or be sitting here with you. And I wouldn't be here, because Mum would never let me come this far on my own, and then I wouldn't have seen it, or the hospital where you were born, Helen said. They sat in the park and ate their ice creams, and then Benny showed her the cinema he came to sometimes, a real fleapit, he said, but they show good films. Can I come with you next time? she said, if Mum'll let me. Sure you can, Benny said. She kissed him on the cheek, and he hoped that no boys from school saw the kiss in case they thought him a cissy, but it was a good kiss he supposed, as far as he knew. But what was a 7 year old boy, having been kissed by a 7 year old girl, to do? He pretended it wasn't there, and pretended not to care.

Baby Mamas with their prams Eating up wonderland Dropping bits of food everywhere Under their chairs Laughing like schoolgirls Flustered red Bits of food For non-believers And the un-anointed Are scarce Clogging toilets with diapers Dispensing waste At an alarming rate How much for a wonderland? In the sky Red marker Rise and rise White tissue Go from white to brown Bits of pea and chicken Falling down (all together now) Bits of pea and chicken Falling Down How much for a trip to wonderland With a cushioned seat Padded headrest And comfy feet? Eat A wonderland in the sky The market is on the rise The ground is black And the clouds are white Every minute Clouds gather spin and rise The Earth looks small Falling behind How much for wonderland Up in the sky?

Tempest triumph turmoil tomb Seeketh life or seeketh whom Ashes, bones lay beneath me Humble yourself, so you can see A wide range of locus holograms Pinched around like metal prams Escape none to route a way Knuckles grit, sinking everyday Dark puffed, stuffed grey matter Auction solidarity is no better Speech of silence, clouds of rain Piercing pledging pleading pain Thy grace, I praise as heavens open Not above but a voice has spoken Walk the steps downs, the voices called Come to us, you belong to our world Pushed dragged and pulled a few miles Clowned faces, greet with smiles Mummified shrouds hang like dolls Eyes spring out like the tennis ***** Dredged with stinkful skillful spills Rainbow colored infinite pills Wide-eyed blinks match the flurocent Contour light lights up the magnificent Bridges burn birthing ashes Torn ripped ***** worn sashes Two hands praying, Lord save our nation Two legs walk, it's another fashion Rotten forgotten the limpage lives All hands stuck in the money hives Online tariff tragic traffic terror Highlights viral vital error Known unknown captured in doubts Strapped bodies spillage by mouths Shots of needles through my veins End of life, foregone with pains! ©sim

Apocalypse
Still born. The words stick In the throat. Even if she sees It someplace in a magazine Some medical journal it hits home. Some nights she wonders if the Imaginary kicking she thinks she Feels is her phantom babe or Senses her dugs go hard at the Mere mention of the word on The tip of her tongue: still born. Born still or pushed forth lifeless But wanted and needed and lost. What really sticks in her throat Is seeing babes in passing prams Or backyards unwanted unneeded By mothers who **** and shuck Without concern while she sensing Her heavy loss and a vacant womb Can only look on and walk away Or sit and weep in a darkened room.

STILL BORN.
The atheist walks Past the supermarket Seeing only shoppers, Buying their daily bread Earnt by working nights on security, or Days serving zombied customers At drive through takeaways Getting abused, watching the litter Pile up from don't give a toss Attitudes diving immaculate cars, He sees shattered dreams in the homeless Begging to survive another day In pavement poverty, Preying on good will by sliding doors In the rain, Teenagers pushing prams, abandoned To a cruel world of benefits and scams Just to make ends meet, Men wheeling six packs to their hatchbacks Hoping they have enough ***** To block out another weekend Of the wife moaning about never going out And the grass needs cutting, He smells the pollution of all the cars Driven a few hundred yards For a pack of cigarettes And some dried noodles for the kids for lunch Just to shut them up, He sees only individuals Railing against each other, falling Over their directionless lives All wanting to be somewhere, NOW. He pushes past them all Never looking up, never acknowledging A single face, knowing his place In the crowd. But I see the woman who stops In her nurses uniform Tired from another 12 hour shift Smiling at the beggar she drops him her change, Takes her shopping to the car Looking forward to a family meal together, Waits for someone to pull out of their parking space As she leaves for a humble home Built on love, I still see a light in the darkness.

The Atheist
In the forest late one summer day, between the trees and prams, a sweet girl whistled a small tune that made the rabbits dance. They danced and hopped and frinked about and it was all quite nice until the Wankerschmacken came and brought a plague of Braifs. The Braifs, they danced and frinked as well and grew and grew in size until they grew to twelve feet tall much to the girl’s surprise. The Wankerschmacken watched with glee, with joyous hate and hunger, the rabbits, the girl, they were confused as they stared down the Schmacken’s flanger. The flanger was his mouth, of course, filled with teeth like daggers, and the beast lunged after the poor girl who through the forest yaggered. She yaggered and ran and over a root she suddenly fell and cried; The Wankerschmacken took his chance and this is how she died: The monster opened its flanger large, its throat was charcoal black; A blue tongue stretched and grabbed the girl and hurled her into its depths. She fell for an eternity, she seemed to fall for years; And in its stomach she cried and cried and drowned in her own tears. A century has come and gone since this cold-blooded **** but if you put your ear to the woods you can hear the Schmacken still. It snores and roars deep in its sleep; Can you smell its rotten breath? but once you do it is too late – You will die a vicious death.

Feast Of The Wankerschmacken
I always said she had too much coffee and cake , her portly shape was due to too much wine , and now all she craved was a good time. I always said the cigars she smoked were like Tomb stones , to blind to notice, to addicted to care . I always said , I always said . And her heart only beat to climb the stairs , and the chocolate and chips helped her through the day . Rainbows and demons , Chains and weeds , and the wind and rain , and the rain and the wind found us on our knees . Spoh koyn nee noh Cheh dorogoy , ( good night my dear ) for I shall navigate my love under a starry host on my ship of jesters and Fools . You’re cigars and cake are the rainbows and demons , and chains and weeds to our love , For you’re laughter for our foolish freedom came not from God above . Must I then take the ash and crumbs and the yellow **** you retch , and hope what’s left does not choke you . We shall marry in our Geogian satire of smokin mirrors , gin and Russian roulette , I will play the doctor , You the patient. Our babies will smoke cigars from their Georgian prams , Wine ,cigars , chocolates and cake I shall spoon feed you , .....until you’re dead . For you’re chains and weeds have killed you , and death has taken you away . And here at our table I shall sit alone , thinking of you . With wine a cigar , Chocolate cake and a cigar I shall toast you , until this day , draw a curtain ,turn off the lights . Sweet dreams my malen kaya kroshka ( my little crumb ) sweet dreams .

The whole world revolves around Me. But not in a good way, but in the way that The planets all revolve around the sun yet Never truly reach it; Forever avoiding this Boiling disaster. It's the way Parents push their prams The long way just to get around me and It's the way Giants shoot their dagger stares, Scrutinizing every little inch of you Up to your very core. It's the way You realise Your loved ones are just like planets: They're constantly drawing Nearer And Nearer Even though you try with All your might to Push Them                                                                   Away But you know And you know And you know, They're just circling towards their Impending Doom, that One day all the planets would Collide The planet would draw Nearer and nearer, Until one day, You would Get a ***Mega Super Huge Nova*** And It would be All your fault.
