Inception
A near accident almost run over by a train
old heart, she collapsed in my arms
wrapped her in a blanket, looked asleep
we drove thro' the long night headlights
made a temporary tunnel
If I turn the light off, we will disappear
I looked in the rear mirror, saw her smile
at the petrol station, the young attendant
seeing death up close paled
this was reality, not play station 2c
I found a cave that had straw on the ground
a lit candle on a niche, it was here Jesus lay
when the women came and cleaned his wounds ...

THE FIRE WITHIN
The locking of our lips has a burn that becomes uncontrollable
Lets the passion dominate, where nothing else is negotiable
Our teasing & pleasing creates an intoxicating, exhilarated desire
Making our time spent together more beloved before we expire
Our desirous fires rage endlessly
undeniable and unrelenting
Makes our orgasmic pleasure we share worth all the repenting
You're a delicate beauty that my heart utterly loves & adores
While I am away from you, my loneliness seems to have no cure
An enigma that...

Journey of Echoes
In the chambers of my heart, a melody plays,
A tune rich with the echoes of neon nights,
Where laughter once swirled with whispered dreams,
Where every friendship sparkled like a starlit beam.
I cherished each bond like precious gold,
With a spirit as open as the skies are wide,
Trusting in the dance of give and take,
In the sacred exchange of heartbeats and sighs.
But shadows sometimes fell on this luminescent glow,
As promises faded into the cool indifference of night.
I stood amid the silence, a lone dancer on a dimming stage,
My own...
A tune rich with the echoes of neon nights,
Where laughter once swirled with whispered dreams,
Where every friendship sparkled like a starlit beam.
I cherished each bond like precious gold,
With a spirit as open as the skies are wide,
Trusting in the dance of give and take,
In the sacred exchange of heartbeats and sighs.
But shadows sometimes fell on this luminescent glow,
As promises faded into the cool indifference of night.
I stood amid the silence, a lone dancer on a dimming stage,
My own...

Found Family
I feel
As if I am not interacting enough
With the people who care for me
On this site, and in real life
I see you
I see your responses
I just can’t find the right words to respond.
I thank you for always being there🫶

Stepping into the light
Three decades woven with shared stories,
Beneath the neon lights of Big Daddy's,
where laughter mingled with dreams,
Intimacy grew, roots intertwining,
A friendship forged in youth’s gleam.
Shared secrets over drinks, laughter echoing,
our affection blooming amidst the glamor.
We weathered storms, literal and figurative
Katrina scattering us like seeds to the wind.
You chased your dreams, grasping that golden sun,
and from afar, I cheered, my heart full of your triumph.
Through the digital threads that spanned our distance,
I sent...

You
From the moment
I saw you
drive through the lot
so many feelings
more than I thought.
You walked up the stairs .
and I open the door
We rekindled the love
that we had from before.
When you sat down
beside me
your arm grazed by mine
the feel of your skin
made me go blind.
As I took a deep breath
all I could smell
was the sweet lotion
my lips know so well.
As you lean in closer
my heart
started to pound
then you touched my leg
my head spun...

Allahu Akbar! Keep Gaza alive and Palestine forever!
By Stanley Collymore
Congratulations, and well done specifically to the actually brave Leeds local councillor who gratefully, humbly thanked God for his success; and likewise also all the evidently other equally successful, quite thoroughly principled and highly moral winners in the recently held, May 2nd 2024, local council elections across England.

a different kind of love
A different kind of love
Easy, in and out your breath
lungs unsullied by cigarette smoke
Siesta nap, a lazy Sunday afternoon
when flowers are recklessly nude
Breath, taking
should you stop
I would fall into a chasm
pale rainbows, a stillborn moon
rusty stars
where words of love go unheard
Do not leave me alone
in a city park
where old men chew tobacco
and tell passers-by
how old they are
Easy, in and out your breath
lungs unsullied by cigarette smoke
Siesta nap, a lazy Sunday afternoon
when flowers are recklessly nude
Breath, taking
should you stop
I would fall into a chasm
pale rainbows, a stillborn moon
rusty stars
where words of love go unheard
Do not leave me alone
in a city park
where old men chew tobacco
and tell passers-by
how old they are

drones
Drones
The agreeable weather persists and worries me
sitting in the yard trying to read the papers
but hand cramps prevent me
Two flies are circling could be miniature
drones spying on me, could it be the people
in the Guardian who have asked me for money
the last twenty years
there are millions of drones, swarms like clouds
on a hazy mirror, an early morning
Every government has drones, and calls it
securities, a word loaded with falsehood
when they want to control everyone
In Iran, they have moral police with drones ...

To Be Humble
Humble is the word, it paves the way.
Humble every time, that I look at this race.
I’ver never been so proud and yet so ashamed.
Humble: the price that I pay, every day.
I wanna be God, since I deserve it.
Good at everything, since I’m worth it.
A record made? I may disturb it.
I should be first, or else I’m worthless.
It’s hard to walk this rocky road.
I pay in sweat and tears and hope.
„I shall be better”, is what I told.
I won’t accept, that I’m no gold.
Since middle class is not my standard.
Since I’m the...

What am I...

Why would I myself wonder and ask
Don’t I know that one dwelling in me
The one in the mirror gazing at me
That one in complexions
Resembling me
In reflections
You have to see me

When asked to myself present
Waiting and pondering to no end
How would I myself define
Is it what I do occupy
And my worth certify
Would that just be fine
Or shall I add the thoughts and visions
