The Past

Posted on 13/10/2020 by Dove Grey

A yellow moon glowers, Over my homely mansion. A werewolf stalks on the pavement level. Here in the trees are the huge boughs, Of the neighborhood. We dwell, in the night-time, Above the ground, In a complex of closed apartments, Made of wood. The sickening dim light of the streets, Shines up weakly at the…

la fine dell’amore

Posted on 14/02/2020 by Dove Grey

He was sworn against divorce, While she had had two marriages already. They were together for only eight years. In his seventh decade he gave her a scooter. She accepted, and rode around on it, Through the mountain roads of Italy, Floral dress, light shoes, Half-dome helmet, no lipstick. Just like in a festival film!…

Affair

Posted on 09/12/2019 by Dove Grey

If I was in love, I would take her everywhere with me, Show her around, clothe her dine with her bed her. And she needs drinks, I’d provide, To call this friend an alibi – One to run to, one to hold, As days will pass, in years of old. If I was young, not…

‘Finding Harmony’

Posted on 17/05/201818/05/2018 by pearldiver

    Autumn rain is determined to tap against the panes of your soul Defiantly strumming your hair in deep silent reflection: Now is moot For you are lost to wind’s clawing of this moment; gone like fallen fruit Oh detachment, you stole her from me; so easily that labour is done Time’s distance drifts,…

Purse Kept Gems

Posted on 12/10/201726/10/2017 by Editor

To search outwards defines strength, To wander in the fields of black roses and purple orchids, Dance around and around under the late summer sun, Tumblers of pink lemonade, gin and chock full of ice cubes, Straws and a slice of lime to accommodate, Gather yourself and meet us there, We can watch the sun…

Moulting.

Posted on 17/02/201726/02/2017 by Sommer Cullingford

So evenly it sheds skin, love – a gentle slip in symphony to betray a leather breach; its new & true jacket, sleek in fresh venom. I arch the path of the latest asp in hot ash, unravelled along cinders of our nebulous friends; kidneys, liver, lovers – those fallen organs shape neurotic beds for…

Hello Friend

Posted on 14/05/2016 by Akshay

  Playing my old guitar , Old days like dead stars, falling apart Memories hold me back, they’re trying to Steal my dreams away I’ve never seen such a lonely heart, making my six string Rot and stale. A broken guitar Broken from inside and outside I can hear the screams of pain that has…
