Under a Witches SkyAnd lo there he said: "I am darkness rising"
— ‘an apparition bleeding into a dreaming sky
Distilled in the timbre of windswept voices,
black feathers enchant earth in fevered-song
Magick ebbs & shimmers thru earthen veins,
seething like a migration of hungry wolves
Silvery eyes peer, drinking the ether of souls;
watching the spirit world fold into the mists
And where Shadows and Witches conjure,
— myriad talons beshrew Winter’s prayer

For eons I hath wandered in forgotten lore
— a sleep walker thru ash & fire, hunting ..
Beneath Moon solemn and drifting,
I covet thy ghostly figure velvet, undressing
Pools of

The Man and the MoonHer mouth corners hung themselves
and I began to wonder if that was the death of them.
A simple, quiet death;
without broken fingernails lining the walls
with the stripes of a despairing end.
I began to ache with the questioning in my heart
with the echoes reverberating in my capillaries
of her face scorching sunshine in her smile
right before it crumpled
and nothing was left but a frowning moon
set firm in its resignation to an upcoming eclipse.

SpeakeasyI can feel you like a phantom,
sensation without touch,
like breath in winter
or a misty mountain morning
that stays with me
until the stars fall in evening.

Your eyes contain the secrets
your lips would dare to betray,
but your body tells the story
and I am trying
to read between the lines
of your paperback smiles.

A grazing touch, a covert glance,
the memories remain
as skin grows warm and red
beneath lying fingertips
that claim incidental contact
a thousand times a day.

Of course,
it's not the kind of thing we say
when we are speaking
without talking and feeling
without touching
and thinking without knowing...

all of the things

Dandelion QueenI dream of the ocean;
that paper-thin line where
the current swallows the stars
and the water churns violet

(you tell me to be
quiet,

dandelion queen, we've
heard all these words before)

tonight
I will sleep heavy
and wake a few hours before dawn,
only to forget my name

my wave-weathered heart will cry,
I will cry (my biggest fear
is drowning in too many
of my own weighted words

you tell me to be
quiet
so I can hear the world breathe)

I want to go home

Overgrown ColorsRed like blood on a rose.
White like bone and stars.
Black like reclusiveness.
Green like dead air.
Orange like the savage instinct.
Purity like a god's heart.
Red like thawing hatred.
White like a frozen, severe cry.
Black like the night's deprived shadows.
Green like the wind in the grass.
Orange like the light in the shadows.
Purity like the sun rising.
So discharging through the moon in a wheeze is like luminous white, dispersed red.

We Can't Be Together.Every kiss you plant on my lips,
Takes a little bit of my soul away.

You're stealing the passion,
You're invading my heart,
And killing what emotion I've left untouched.
Stop this.
I can't love you.

I've tried to before,
Oh my god,
Have I tried.

Tried to unlock the doors to myself,
Tried to open up,
And let you in.
But as soon as I took one look,
Negativity took it's opportunity,
And struck the hot iron I'd been molding.

Every word you mutter
My knees falter under
You're killing me

You're my kryptonite
I'm your paradise
But in this odd peace that seems to be approaching
I can't find happiness.

We aren't meant to be together
But this

WindowsHere am I, repeated,
and beyond waits everything
but everything is more
than I can bear.

I am not built for altitude
nor looking far afield;
groves and granite-sided mountains
stop my gaze

like rest for every tired wing;
a cover in the coldest time
snugged up beneath my chin.

Windows nothing more,
but safe lies there behind them
as the chambered hours pass;

safe sleeps there behind them
on the soft side of the glass.

Poet as PainterThe world
Your dusty palette,
The pen
Your muddied paintbrush:

Dip into
The impossible
Colour
Of imagination

And stain
The pristine slate
With an
Image distilled.

Dry Spell I am immobilized by time.
by the idea that it is somehow slipping,
fleeting,
evaporating
through the cracks of
my fingers and high

above my head.
I am terrified by the incessant notion
that no combination of thoughts,
words,
silences,
or actions
could possibly satiate it.

I realize only now that it can never be filled:
all which is tossed into it is swallowed in haste
or stretched
so far
that it dissolves into non-being.
I find that I am caught within its furrows
much like the words it devo

with thanks to frosttwo roads diverged in a soulless dawn
and you pull over,
idling on the shoulder of route 50.
it's a polaroid morning and
the world is as grainy
and sleep-heavy
as your eyes,
and one million miles
is not far enough.
it plays back, filmstrip,
blurred along the length of
optic nerves,
and here you are:
facing a choice between
on
and
out.
and this?
this loosejointed, hollowbodied
weightless ache--
this is what
gone
feels like.

BoyfriendI thought you were good.

You WERE good.

You played with my hair.

You held me when I cried.

You were a gentleman.

You made me laugh.

You kissed me.

You loved me.

I loved you.

It was then that I learned the truth.

The dirty, rotten, stinking truth.

About you!

You cheated.

You played with her hair.

You kissed her.

You loved her.

You made her laugh.

I saw you – don’t you dare deny it.

I saw you giving her that love.

That same love you gave me.

I break up with you.

You don’t even seem to care.

Did you ever love me at all?

Or was it only ever her?

Much later, you’ll realize what a mistake you made.

You Don't Know ItYou don't know it, but you kept me sane
I nearly went over the edge
With a knife in one hand and a gun in the other
But you grabbed me
Pulled me back on my own two feet
Emptied my hands
And when you realized that I couldn't stand on my own
You hugged me
Like a mother would do for her child
Like a friend would do for, dare I say, another friend

You don't know it, but when you saved me
I felt free
I felt wanted
I felt needed
I felt, dare I say, loved

You don't know it, but when you showed me kindness
I fell in love
In love with your kindness
That same sweet kindness you saved me with
It felt like I found a new home
One that I could be, dare

untitledGold abundant at your feet,
Heart ripe and pumping on your sleeve,
And eternal admiration;
To say happiness has evaded you
Would be asylum-esque lunacy
For you have nothing to lose,
Fate is on your side,
The odds are in your favor infinitely
Do not waste the gift you’ve received

Pull Her Hair/Stare At The StarsThe ghosts have crashed their ship
on the other side of town,
you can see it from the second floor
all the way over here.
You can see the white clouds
rising from the wreck
and a nova of heat, a big bright
nova of warmth pulling the moths and wolves
out from the woods (with their noses up and searching).
You can smell the yearning like bees
leaving the hive, like the grizzly brown bears
on the jagged white mountains (concrete and imposing).
They call it fear,
but I see these ghosts
scrambling up into the sky
and I like to think it's
something different entirely.

PocketLeftover religion in the pocket
Of my trenchcoat
A key that unlocks nothing
A penny, a scrap of paper
With half of your name
Written in black ink

A song that is usually in my head
In the shriveled carcass
Of a long-dead dream
In the pocket
Of my trenchcoat
With the lint

Review:Primal fearPrimal fear

Primal fear is a mystery film directed by Gregory Hoblit, it stars Richard Gere and Edward Norton. It is two hours long. The plot sees a lawyer defending a teenager after being caught for the murder of the local bishop but the investigation takes an interesting turn.

This is precisely how a mystery film should be addressed and directed. Primal fear, not for a minute wastes a moment of its screentime, its good to see a movie not concerned with faffing about. The mystery unravels at a well planned/spread out pace and engages the viewer at all times, introducing solidly placed plot turns and twists, it gets you thinking and holds a

Review:The huntThe hunt

The hunt is a drama film directed by Thomas Vinterberg, it stars Mads Mikelson and is two hours long. The storyline sees a teacher negotiating his divorce when a very young student shows interest in him he does the responsible thing and rejects her but in anger she declares him a child abuser, problem is everyone winds up believing her.

Typically when I think of a film that places a focus of paedophilia usually it’s about proving the abuser guilty cause they are or its an abuse drama, actually calling this a film feels slightly odd, felt more like real life or a play actually. This toyed with or more accurately went against t

Review:La HordeLa Horde

La horde is a French action horror film directed by Yannick Dahan, it is 90 minutes long. The storyline sees a group of police officers and gangsters face off in a cramped building, however their forced to work together when zombies show up out of nowhere.

The best way I can describe this is as a French The raid with the evil dead thrown in for good measure. Right from the start this film scored points by using its first act to actually do something; these aren’t backpackers, campers or asshole teenagers on a drunken trip to the woods, their violent manly men all around making them immediately more interesting.

Speaking forThere is speaking for and then there is speaking FOR, which one are you advocating? It’s for more than the word’s association’s sake, a pet peeve of mine. Campaign, reel in the rights and promote as you please, speak as their representatives but not directly as their voices. If you must display the love, the treatment you have brought and given then, perhaps with comparison to their past lives or up to that point and simply stop there. A weak barking, breaking into cheerful panting is just the right hook…

simple minded

I protest, I do not don this for a simple minded pleasure of the male species nor for courting or to exhibit what is underneath, beneath. This is in expression of my comfort, conformance and above all my right as a woman, to display my femininity not to be sought, seen, treat as some trophy of a man or who else might be watching. We are not prizes waiting to be obtained neither plaything or toys and let that be a lesson boys, we are not savants in servitude, we do not exist simply to copulate and cook for you…lift the weight off our shoulders and share the heavy load…we have every right to boast, to goad through these words!

Petit as they may be, still presented like my stick thin legs for what else is a girl to do, to wear upon a summer’s day? And yet without realizing you all stubbornly stare when I did not ask for your leering, lecherous advances of the eye whether you meant it or not.
My bare legs and shoulders drip with sweat and as I fan the heat from my face I come to terms what you immediately think about.
I protest..again this is not a display for you…well maybe a little when a man comes along, perhaps a woman even..who would share my fancy...but by then you'll be hooked by a quick flash forthwith of polka dot a' fleeting and I'll have your balls in my court before you can say the words I love you...
