You are all nuts! Especially you Amuse.
But such a very, very sweet little nut.

With sincere application.
Autumn approaches.

Care, love, show me your heart all
Unclothed, pure, pristine.

lost and found in one
That Proustian moment, our
All-engaging kiss.
Every rush of feeling fills
Our emptiness
I'd like to talk of Detroit
Cannot contact you
Will it forever be that
The sheep will follow?
The shepherd’s hollow route, leads
To the slaughterhouse.

clarity gives peace
water in a crystal glass

clarity brings peace
after being so foolish
fading, going mad
And then everything dissolves
Friable ego
Try and find the pieces to
Glue them together
These hemisphered hearts. Measure,
Stitch and smooth the seam.

Forever seeking to ground
Myself in something

Is just illusion.

thick smoke and mirrors

I leave my body
Sitting on a train. Its safe.
No one will steal it.
From me, this world-weary face.
This brow-beaten mask.

i barely understand this
words expressed are few...
while my breath, a beating heart,
weaves rhythm round you.
softly blowing on embers
building fire by breath
Colours of a distant star
Shine through my darkness
With your heart of love and light.
Beautiful night sky
Still bombs go off in Baghdad
Days forever closed.
Silence never broken. She
Waits for his return.

your voice is but a whisper

Words defenestrate meaning,
Leaving empty hearts.

me to the river
bail me from this boat toss me
a lifeline - no, don't
why bother? I'm already
dead six feet under
why! does my body return
now from this coma?
Comes company. Voices. Then
Stillness in silence.
Empty mind is emptiness
Not experience.

emptiness feels, too.

Lovers fade away
Like flowers and falling leaves
Autumn feeling loss
she tossed grievances earthward
like so many leaves
Of unhidden parchment, I
Dissolve at your touch
Our embrace reaches out to
Remembrance of love
the soul escapes carnal forms
dissolves caustic bonds
and flies high by chemistry

A candles flame ever loves
Mutability
Wipes all the colour from us
And our drowning world.

Captures my freedom,
And liberates my feeling:
Love is a great joy
Unhindered by the world
Innocent as all
blustering passionately
endearing to one
Nearest you. Yet alone you
Breathe and your heart beats

Defeats my address.
Every fear of loss, this is
Nothing less than love.

Sorrow stalks her life.
(For a sad, lost friend,AP)
regrettably hounding her
she carries the past
And memories of sadness
Embedded in heart
A stake deep in a loved life
Share of other blood
the offal of our passion
how our mistakes bleed
raptures of extended pain
begging for release
i remember the rack, fear
embalming grief. i sneeze.
And decay oozes from my
Nose, my mouth, my ears.......

Fearful screams, whispers, whimpers,
Disperse, expelled breath.

words; pollinate joy.

blindly mad babbling
a tango on a razor
a keen itching kiss
Wriggles through my aching frame
Sleeping, dream of you

my soul dreams of dance
Summer shadows seek release
From heavy matter.

The lines of dust twist and twirl
Residue of waste

- the one who enters the game
must the game endure
your win over it ?
better it is for it to change than being defeated over and over
Must the game endure?
compete or co-operate?
better change defeat
Into a timely lesson
Love amongst ruins
crushed bones and words smolder still
in these burnt banned books
creates ripples of joy in which
swimming I enjoy
That amniotic feeling
Holistic monist
Wakes from his morning dream state
Into controlled dreams
from our suppressed memories
of the little death
each second, each hour brings
I sing. Let it go.
Open the gates of past pain
Let it fly skywards
this balloon soars to the heights
of merlins and dreams.

Of merlins and dreams
I´ll sing you a lullaby
my restless poet

born again
flattered and happy
pleased to see so many here
haiku thread lives on
Though broken dreams and lost souls
Do cry mutiny
Cast aside your servile chains
You should all be free
If you lost core control, to
Act chaotically.
and you will still find yourself
moving in a rythm
Lyrically we learn of love
Synergy weaving.
Like threads of plaited thunder
Doth smote thine fair breast
he said - caught me to his dear
mouth, kissed me and died
eyes spoke of love and then closed
arms embracing loss.
loss fastening around as a parasite , slowly
sucking life, away
Time and space displace our lives
Wayward in quicklime
Petty petty axes of strife fell
Mighty trees of love
page 30
Mighty trees of love
Freely giving oxygen
Which is why we breathe
reaching upward to embrace;
felled by biting axe.
My ghost vows never again
To eat of that blade
I chase after you blindly,
Speared through by your eyes.
His heart bled love , then lust
Fire begets fire.
In the humours of the heart
Melancholy mind
On a dreary winter's day
Like hibernation
mind gently avoids care
thoughts escape neglect
by merging into concepts
waking memories
disturbing thoughts persisting
through my concious mind
precious thoughts of your kind words
find pathways to love
Wading through the shallow depths
Of loves divine image
comes an image never felt
save me from the guilt
my Jewish heritage wins
can we flee the past?
page 31
can we flee the past? -
relentless tornado in
merciless pursuit.
Ends in silver laughs of sun
Everyday morning
soft, warm, you are still asleep
I move quietly
Carry you like a newborn
Whisper to your dreams
to manipulate their path
you will love me more
Than I could ever deserve
Despite what I do
i am faithful to my cause
what was it again?
That made you despise me so
Was it my drinking?
that ruined my social skills
damn that brown bottle
My eyes record the slurred sky
Proof to condemn me
glistening eyes burn blue flame;
can't smile it away
These memories haunting me,
Does my smile decieve?
Do you not believe my eyes?
Hear words my heart speak?
You cannot even see me,
waiting in silence.
page 32
waiting in silence
anticipation of love
hurry up will you
lifetimes apart but you come
home late for dinner
you are no more punctual
than city transit
so use deoderant or
no dessert for you!
must you plow the field barefoot and
sing with trees and birds?
like Snow White without a dwarf
may she rest in peace
her heart in little pieces
maggots in her hair
beetles crawl all on her scalp
needs better shampoo
does my grandmother; poor thing,
the mice have regrouped
IPM to the rescue
avoid chemicals!
eat organic this earth is
our children's children's
(children's ad infinitum)
Children's kids will look back
And laugh at our fate
that we proceed on and on
all heads frontside back
Twisting in surreal motions
Glimpsing destiny
page 33
Glimpsing destiny,
yet it remains out of reach,
striving to catch up
there is never enough time
to be free in me
to see what the shadows veil...
something is in here.
a living machinery
a ghost in the shell
a living machinery
a clockwork orange
a ghost in the shell
crying out from its prison
my soul calls to you
for understanding and love
why cant you hear me?
all my life i've sung for you(r)
silence deafens me
my head spins out of control
catch me if i fall?
lest this bough impair me as
my words impaled him
Catching him between his ribs
Feeling like cold steel
empty and icy inside
afraid to stay here
holding tense against sinew
shock me back to need
I stare blankly through glass eyes
my smile stitched on tight
page 34
My smile stitched on tight
Shines like the sun: an endless
light, constant, routine.
and yet your respiration
reasons my breathing
The daylight brings a new routine
My fair baby crying
Reasons my breathing
Rhythm changes so, are all
Embodied in you
My soul linking with your heart,
Shatter me and die
Lock me up and never live
Give me, receive me.
Take me by the hand and swear
Violence solves nothing
teaches children death and hate
and we ask how? why?
no answers exist in this
meaningless cosmos
we spin round out of control
into the sun now
the highway lies empty, clear
green trees left and right
Moonlight-coated peeling skin
Grass dew-fresh to touch
Pg 35
Grass dew-fresh to touch
Your palms press down perfect blades
Swords to your soft flesh.
my nails catch your arm as you
turn away from me
embrace torments come to sing
pain, insanity
punctured; diffuses dully
throughout my body
little cells making nice and
cleaning house for me
My gambling instincts die hard,
We all win in the end
the fates have plans for us yet
love will conquer all
Damning us to slavery
Then we will kill love
for its betrayal of hearts
hide the corpse from youth
Shielding them from immense pain,
Pain is for the weak
Weakness is for the strongest
Pain rules everyone
A leprichon inside me
Banging on my ribs
my heart tries to escape me
when it hears your voice
the wind dances in the snow,
turns cartwheels of joy.
Pg. 36
Turn cartwheels of joy
Perform backflips of sadness,
Epic theatre
Cold distant star-strewn fields
Spanish pilgrimage
in catalonian hills
uncovering soul
true self reveals eternal
life clad in love.
eyes deep like shimmering pools
real yet eternal
Distant yet real to the touch,
Avatar of life
My toenails are painted blue
Colour of a corpse
His skin stretched across the sky
Easter holiday.
I'll walk over Devon cliffs
Into memories.
Draw my sword and wade through
Play God with my past
Anticipate the future he might grant
Smile faces the sun
your joy eclipses the light
keeping me in shade
of dry reserved abstraction
loving from afar
despair and bewilderment
suffocating space ...
Pg. 37
suffocating space
my autonomic reflex
helps breath come slower
As I staunch my bleeding wound,
Love tore me apart
Used to be two hearts in one
Now one in two
Polymelodramatc
Is a damn big word
Worth saying just to say it?
Trying to impress
Lover's shapeless face appears
Imagery holds fadeless
Fine line between black and white
Love goes colorless
grey rainbows embalm crypts where
tenderness was slain
warm blue jello dribbled, flowed
from myopic eyes
Pus seeping from sores of love,
You have bled me dry
Dying slowly in your arms
till I close my eyes
My vision swirling, darkness
My soul caged inside
With a soul eating poodle
Slowly it does feed
on moles and mice and such things.
Feed, little cat, feed.
Become nourishment and strength
Feed my hungry dog
Pg. 38
Feed my hungry dog,
Taste these morsels and scoff them
Down your waiting throat
Some periscopic device
Journeys to your heart
I taste a pure well-spring from
Your secret meadow
Feed my hungry dog
Tease the jealousy of my cat
Meow Meow
Your secret meadow
Carpet on my colorful maze
Dizzy heart's widow
only bitter ash remains
where passion once flowed
Now the sun shines, sky is blue,
Warming dark corners
Coffee dreams in plain cafes
Parisian worlds.
language barriers exist
words dont make any sense
which does not matter at all
when one is in love
separation causes pain
distance is torture
we sometimes feign indifference
but purely feel hope
deep within my heart of hearts
this bizarre logic ...
all is right within the world
fade to black, madness
smothering in soft wishes
try to taste your name
Pg. 39
Try to taste your name
Carolling round my tongue-tip
Hidden in my mouth.
Words like lead I long to speak.
The moment passes.
In my heart time is frozen,
Shattered church bells
Pull down its aching arches
Let the earth breathe life.
poor infected atmosphere
humans are damage
making plague species playing
games of life and death
lead to everyday living
until it all ends
We keep feeding off our hopes
Lighting feeble flames
freezing in the cold night air
why wont this flint work?
Its hardness is no pillow
For such a soft head
Pg 40
For such a soft head
there are many hard ideas
shades of grey are good
They will lead to your decay
Cover you in clay
So you'll renew the soil
Oil for future
generations of missiles
to claim more oil
we will send in the troops and
will kill anyone.
Will commit murder for food
Fix shoes while you wait
to pursue what will one day
leave no-one alive.
walk away from where you are
and don't turn your back
on what you were before now.
You are all you were.

All I ever want.

I want to touch it someday
but don't want the gore

I am powerless.
the redolence of torment

loss, precious like grandma and
crumpled rose petals

rejection's cool shade
Offering solace from the
Inferno of love

numb to all but you
mesmerized i memorize
your breath, lips, warm hands
that are not mine, feed a heart
the blood that mine weeps.

our arms intertwined.
reeds weave a way through our hair
lungs filled with water.

unless it's expired milk.

we had better cut it off
you wont much miss it
or could you feel it at all?
I'm taking it back
by the handfuls, you know ;) you
need to share with me
i am always here for you
if im in the mood
to sit and stare for long hours,
please let me do it
let the words flow rapidly
i wont listen in
when I hear you speak my name.
Just please speak my name.
From your mind to your mouth, from
Your lips to my ears.
delicacies flow like wine
do that again please
I'll be your pet harp thrumming
and sighing in joy
i say your name to myself
like grateful praying
Hoping for a better day
When the sun comes up
my breathing slows you tuck me

In the dark, children.

Waves invade the beach
