Once upon a time
Souls drenched in grime
Wanted words to rhyme
Sought immorality and crime
...

skull-with-butterfly-eye-copy
She was the darling of his eyes,

he loved her like a bemused lover
...

Not a morsel for her
every grain hath been shared,
...

Dancing on the floating skies,

the silver moon pressed its lips and smiled,
...

Where did you come from, baby dear?
Out of the everywhere into here.
...

Confusion

Darkness
...

For many years, in the dense forests,
lived a tribal king who had a daughter charming,
...

There is that rhythm
Like a slow breathing woman
...

When I was a child
I once heard a word
I wondered aloud
For it seemed quite weird
...

The duality of two realms encountered by magical means,

where the universe is welcomed.
...

Underneath the September clouds,

A dash of black is a murder of crows -
...

O Autumn, laden with fruit, and stain’d
With the blood of the grape, pass not, but sit
Beneath my shady roof; there thou may’st rest,
And tune thy jolly voice to my fresh pipe,
...

This horse I thought I’d ride

Is dead. Why try to flog it?
...

Where is the City of Benares?
I’ve searched hard to find its location,
I’ve looked at maps and searched the index of my atlas,
Thinking that it might be the capital of a great nation.
...

Holding hands with someone special
Such electricity flowing between both
Creating memories that last much longer.
...

The addict

His body frail
...

I went back to the town
Where I once lived
I hitched a lift on a lorry
That seemed to be
...

Sheltering in a doorway from
Diagonal machine-gun rain
Bullets that riddled the church;
...

The Mandarin is covered

in little orange globes
...

Telepathy, now there’s a word that deserves to be written about

As a matter of fact it’s a word that from the roof tops we should shout.
...
