"50 Words for Poe: Witch"




She liked driving fast
The number plate in the dust
Read DOT.OZ.LimaLimaBrava 
Their destination was Wichita

Foot to the Floor 
Off Route 66 Silver Lady purred
Some Kansas backwater 
Galena sped by in a blur

He kind of liked it 
that she wore hardly a stitch...

"50 Words for Poe: Metamorphosis"



Intricate souls, 
Complex needs
interconnected
Light energy 
binds them 
2 hearts
2 minds
Become 
1 heart
1 mind
it’s all in the 
timing
the complexities 
of a trick

Reciprocity
with a kiss
intuitive
apport 
the exchange
of a key,
The Gift 

MAGIC

Metamorphosis

The answer to this 
trick 
begins with the binding
of his wrists

"50 Words for Poe: Monkey Boy"




"VACANT" ...

You lie your head down on a soft pillow
in a grey room 
They say you have the Key
But it’s Hell, 
you’ve done the work
You’re not forgiven
You’re not free

Someone on the other side 
wants to lie down
there is no soft...

"50 Words for Poe: Temporal"



"Labyrinthine mind 
within chalked 
bones of cranium
lies the vestibule 
and shrine of
broken sacraments -
absent Advent,
Pentecost and
an "epiphany" 
solely lacking 
The All Divine.
There She lays like
Iseult waiting for 
Dragon's tongue
Black night eternal
immersed vanilla amoeba
floating ectoplasm
transmuting in time
there, keys will be found
like broken...

"50 Words for Poe: Blue Skies"



She was dressed to kill
Hot like a blazing Australian Bushfire
She crackled with heat as she
sashayed through the entrance
like Summer towards him, 
Like she was painted in 
Gold Lame Mesh
Armour tight, 
the fabric flimsy and 
sensationally short
stretched over very special 
killer...

"50 Words for Poe: Rasputin"



The Rat was buried in the Pet Cemetery
His name was Rasputin

She had been fond of him for some time
feeding him morsels 
every now and again
tickling his whiskers occasionally -
until he decided to look inside 
her lingerie drawer, 
that one drawer 
within...

Moody dark man haunted mind

"50 Words for Poe: camera obscura"



The Night Flower 
turns in her bed
in a dark room
stories of wraiths 
like flies buzzing in her head
and blood-sucking bugs that bite
Rippers and lovers dead
come to collect her from her
ornery black-balled plight

The box is closed it would seem, tight.
She returns...

"50 Words for Poe: Rouge"



Rouge, sweet stains
the bleeding mouth of the brain
Green poison from 
the tongue of envy a postal note from Hell

Rouge makes a bed
with an enemy
Knife slices the insipid pale
in the bucket lies Hell's abysmal fail

Rouge, dances in 3 inch sharp knives
Rouge, slices...

Hush your mind



In ancient Persia 
Her sands
drift through your divination hands
Through Her dark mirrors,dethroned now

Clairsentient seeps Her ancient wisdom 
Her opium gift to you



Elusive, Her heart 
bares witness from the Never Slept vast fathomless dimensions...

50 Words for Poe: Vide Cor Meum



Look into my heart
see it’s sinew ripped
in the hole daisies grow
and death renews
forget-me-nots
unfurling crushed blue
from their
black soiled
deep dead 
purple sleep

Vide Core Meum
slowly burns 
the earth of me
forests roar
barefoot walks 
through broken glass
then, nine inch nails,
the vanity fast retreats

where Raven...

Sleep now

Your Nepenthe has been taken
listen to your dream 
what you pay alms for
requires surveillance
this is where she is reached and seen
in her dreams she dreams within your dream

He whistles in with the wind
Like King of the Hill
Incubus sucks her soul...

"50 Words for Poe: Revenant"


Everywhere he looks for Her his melancholic Ghost Girl
does our lachrymose ignoble Phantom in his own thunder storm


In the Wind Song he listens
Her elusive whispers hail from another dimension 
echolocation through the Never Slept portals 
bounce off grave plots where jumping...
