    Stiletto (Poetry)

    You moved like a cometAcross a pitch black skyAlmost frozen in timeGleaming so very brightIn the dark, absoluteDeep blue cold still of nightStiletto, you thrust inTo my chest and stabbedMy ever slowing heartThe chill burst into meNew life even as I diedFrom heat of spilled blood“Stiletto, may I haveThis last dance?”I still asked.Before you soon…

    Her Web (Poetry)

    So you’re just a common spider Spinning inspirational messages The farmer with his cup of ciderWatching the light of dawn Sparkle on your magnificent Creations of your spinnerets How could these wordsHold any meaning for her? So you wish to open the pen That we keep him locked up in Well, well, isn’t this strange…

  • Empty Place (Poetry)

    A monument of great beautyHolds forever trueImmortalized in the snapshotOf your sweet face Like cruel Fate you came to meFrom the deep blueWith love so deep, I got lost inYour strong embrace Suddenly, you up and left meIn a daze lostIn this empty place, all this timeWhat came of you?

  • The Firmament (Poetry)

    Where the sky meets the waterThat is where I want to beOr is it where the water meets the sky?The greatest firmament that ever was I wish to reach for the endless horizonThe great infinity, the indescribable beautyTo reach farther, to dream further, to stretchMy imagination to the highest firmament I long to dream of…

  • Giraffe (Poetry)

    Giraffe (Poetry)

    Sing me a Savannah lullabyThe wild’s too bitter to-nightLet me ride on your backSo we can spend the nightWith our heads in the clouds I ride your back, run like a cheetahThe pride is on the move, they give us chaseHide me in the trees, lift me upLet’s find the clearest spaceThis passion is so…

  • Ghostwritten (Poetry)

    Once I consideredBeing a writer for the agesBut as confidence witheredProducing only scattered pagesAs hope in humanity falteredGave in to my inner ragesBy the bitterness bug twice bittenSick and tired of wayward sagesWith misery I became smittenPaying out my sins wagesThe rest may as well be ghostwritten 2021

    She hides her geniusBehind a guise of silly hairAnd gaudy makeupHer heart is black as coalBut her eyes are gold She was born with a giftLike no other girl has hadShe was born with a melodyDark and of despairAll her dreams so real to her No fantasy unknown to herReality too cold and deadFor her…

  • Greatest of All (Poetry)

    I’ve looked round a long timeSeen a lot of pretty facesBeen caught up in subtle gracesObsessed with midnight nightmaresAnd their maddening inkling tracesBut the light from your smileIs the absolute greatest of all Eyes of blue like the skyEvery time I see you I can’tHelp but let off a big sighHow can I hold an…
