Too long a road...

Too long a road…

No gain without pain on the Isle of Arran. (With audio narration - turn your sound on) This poem has been re-posted for gothicman who was born on this beautiful Island. First posted 2006. I run passed Knockin-Kelly, with a pain in my belly Well that’s not true, I had pain everywhere. Then on down the hill, I’d a promise to fill - If I’d known then – I’d have spoken with care. Down passed the ...

The Tower King

The Tower King

A song based on a previous poem called Towers Above The Clouds: the tall office towers in LA often seem to be huge galleons of Mammon sailing above the smogs that choke the proles below. The new music video is at the end of the piece.   THE TOWER KING Naked you arrive Into the troubles of this world And as the hourglass turns Then naked you return As the clicking of her high heels ...
As Heaven Sees You

As Heaven Sees You

A very strange song that arose out of an old Wiccan curse-blessing (the victim sees their true soul in mirrors) from researching family history and uncovering a lineage of white witches! As Heaven Sees You To see your soul as Heaven sees you Could be a blessing Or a masque hiding feelings A disguise fooling no-one You know my heart bleeds for you.   To lose your mind when others need you Could be a ...
Shallow Man

Shallow Man

I think I am the cool sophisticate, the PC Guru then watching the ebb and flow of micro-skirts on a Friday Night, I realise that I'm such a.. Shallow Man I’ve been searching for the Holy Grail Forever and a day All my ‘perfect’ relation-ships Weigh anchor and they sail away I’m a stranger to the truth I’m a stranger in disguise It’s no wonder that she drove away In my cavalcade of lies. I’m ...
Hell Hath No Fury

Hell Hath No Fury

Based on several true tales of women fighting back against mysoginistic husbands. I hope you enjoy the music or music video at the end of the enty below: HELL HATH NO FURY She sits beneath her juniper trees  A book of shadows on her knees Where hell hath no fury as a woman scorned She’ll make him rue the day he was born   She knows that there’s no greater demon Than a self-righteous soul ...
Flash America

Flash America

An old post based on snapshots and images on instagram and elsewhere which I've now converted into a video track. A live performance that almost got me lynched by two very fat American so-called poets at a gig!  FLASH AMERICA Anonymous, eponymous, a dedicated shrine Tea trays, liverwurst, a single-engine line Archipeggio, andante, a twiddling of the pissed Sunburnt, sea foam, assiduously kissed Insidious, perfidious and forty fainting maids A robot-dancing president and snaking cavalcades ...
