Dust

Dust, dust and bones, alone, in the desert far from home, beside a cactus, in the hot hot sun, taking it all in, and drinking water whilst taking in the beauty, and the blue sky, with nothing on my mind, but life and death, and death, it comes to us all in time, and I […]

Dust bowl

A hurricane in the distance, a dust bowl, a house on the hill, and cherries in a bowl, the sun up in the sky, and the wind and the breeze, and the trees, with the sunlight filtering through, a dust bowl, so, here is to staying indoors, whilst the wind does prowl, here is to […]

Dumb

Dumb, delicate and destructive, your moods, your moods, yes, they are not attractive, not attractive to me at all, for you are like a nuclear bomb, when you come to call, and you always explode ferociously with such intensity, that sometimes I wonder, after a heated argument what I see in you at all, yes, […]

Drugs

Shallow waters, still is the night, moon, stars, rocks, and trees, a sandy beach, palm trees and music playing in the Caribbean night, the Caribbean night, filled with talk and laughter, a busy harbour, a quiet beach, a boat laden with drugs headed for disaster, for a storm is coming, and though they know what […]

Drop in the ocean

A drop in the ocean how little it seems, for money flows here and there, and everywhere and not to where it should truly be, helping eradicate racism, hatred, ignorance, homelessness, and famine and drought, but money, it rarely gets spent fighting these problems, and it infuriates me, it infuriates me because the world is […]

Driven

Driven as the snow, driven as the rain, driven again and again and again, driven, intellectual adrenalin, intellectual adrenalin, gone insane, intellectual adrenalin rushing around my brain, exhilarated, buoyant, and enthusiastic, and my brain, gone haywire, gone haywire, and caught aflame, caught aflame, intellectual adrenalin, intellectual adrenalin, gone insane, intellectual adrenalin rushing around my body, […]

Drinking gin

Evocative, lingering, cold, happy on the outside and charming, but, unfeeling in your skin, oh, how you stare at me, from the newspaper so off puttingly, and how you stare at me so evocatively, how you stare at me, as the rain runs down the window pain, and sunlight comes through the grey clouds, and […]

Dreams

A useless apparition, a ghostly vision, a premonition, a graveyard, a ghost, a fading flower, amidst the beauty of others, that are still alive in the garden, of Eden, the garden of Eden, beautiful scenery and feelings, a lake with a swan gliding upon it, a ballerina pirouetting, oh such, strange dreams, strange dreams or […]

Drawn

Drawn to the light, drawn to the light, night, moths, and dusty old bookshelves, and an empty chair, shadows across the room, shadows, here, here and there and everywhere, and must in the air, and silence, and despair, and wallpaper peeling off the walls, and photographs in a frame, a little faded, and a man […]

Drawn from the mind

Drawn from the mind like a conjurer, a poem defined, words plucked out of the air, plucked out of the air with thought, but seemingly as of inspiration, like a burst of lightning in the air, poems drawn from the mind, poems of love, poems of heartache, poems about beauty, poems about travel and places […]
