Beaches of the Proud

Cursed by the city

I want to see those eyes again;
Abrading benefactors’ skin
You’re cursing me. You’re cursing me.
I’ll be coming back to haunt you
Desecrating the Heels of the powerful
Painful pressure from above
You’re cursing me.

Long Shadows in an evening mirror

No business, No cowardice
No curbs, No restraints
No flashes, No noises
No coming back to find your family dead.

No politics, No liars
No qualms and No attacks

No flashes, No noises
Just...... Long Shadows........
In an Evening Mirror.

These Hives

Another lie.
Another lie.
We could use distractions
Please.
To run our lives
Another time
Another time
We could build our hives on
Flying nights
An octave of difference is what separates our minds
So different, so alike.
These Hives….
Unto ourselves
Bring These Hives…
Onto ourselves

The Sigh

And the day it came,
Evicerated calm
destroyed the comfort
and
the pride
of home.
Set alight the trees
and gated hearts
Wide eyed with sores of the domestic.

This shame of the envy
of the talented and brave
self-assured but insane
poisoned weather hangs over my head
Will follow me until my dying day
until hope is ablaze,
to the ends of the earth,
With the resignation and the loss,
all this, all at once,
and all I could do
is sigh.
