Her hair pure black like coal, Her ears so dainty as if she stole Them from a pretty fairy, Her friendly attitude quite flirty, Her peeking bosoms such a tease, Begging...

We’re in the Souk in somewhere like Baghdad, but not so land-locked. Tripoli, more like. “He stole an apple – catch the little tyke!” The hue and cry goes up. They chase the lad, whose crime is hunger: look at how he’s clad! Pursuers, armed with blunderbuss and spike, are gaining. As they’re just about to strike, they get the sharpest shock...

Enter, this way, don't mind the dank shadow-crawling tunnel, nothing has lived here for years. Antechamber ahead, no need to crouch now. In this chill hall you can admire a black moon pinned to an even darker sky. So far, you have just been reading my thoughts, now you may discern my mouth and one bloodshot eye, fear not, I am just a...

(A seductive voice whispers as incense fills the air) Sat within here A discarded loop in time and space Within this room I see you all in the distance Shimmering through Like bright pink desert mirages In your living tombs Stood alone In my magical circle of no rehearsals Chanting Yaruba tribes Ancient magical rites Summoning up the populous of Godhead So I the...

"Red Invitation" Crocheted a whole story in golden twine of soft angora She said no purple I don’t want purple Agapanthas the whole barbecue thing is a party thing unattended. This was the most recent conversation. Lavender Street, She said, the Church sits in, how apt. Lavender. Well oiled. Calmly receptive. Ashes to ashes.

I was with you, in the beginning Being present for delivery of WORD Your growth was astounding And commitment unto death, pure But then, government entered the gate And offered concessions for compliance I watched your back bend I entered in, you slithered, away I surrounded you, as Deception grew A dragon, drenched in sacrificial blood Destructive fire rolled out of your mouth Consuming innocence with...
