6 of WOLVES
The 6 of #wolves
Is a cruel card.
Insidious like ancient gas
Rising from a septic floor,
A toxic core,
6 wet jaws.
Grab those wands
And crossing swords,
Count them as the tower falls,
Dread those tainted
Starving wolves,
Flip no more,
6 wet jaws.

๐ She always went for the pretty ones, old or young! Last time I saw her was in a fish n chip shop with a kid of her own.
Seemed someone left their mark on her ๐
Eyes like a #jade fist,
Heart as dark as a hole in the night,
With sinister jokes
For flashes of light.
Shape like a flame
But colder than ice,
Sheโll promise a kiss
And deliver it twice,
Swallow your soul
Cos love is her vice,
Devour you whole,
Cos it's never a bite.

Love the profile pic and header too ๐คฉ
Woke up in a strange garden,
Ripped shirt and blood on my neck,
A pool of chemicals on the grass,
Frothing like #seafoam.

Nothing much happened at the factory
Or the pub across the road,
So every weekend
Weโd go into town,
And Create Our Own Drama.
#BornBattleReady
The Trigger and #Hammer
Ainโt the place you want to get cocky.
I tried it once,
And ended up in the yellow dimension
(Saw my life flash before someone elseโs eyes).

Coming soon at Literary Revelations, a fabulous collection, Haiku for Soulmates :a true labor of love, featuring the evocative work of nearly 200 authors from around the globe. Each haiku captures the profound essence of connection and the beauty of the human spirit.

The world continues to spin
And here we are,
Youโre still at work,
And Iโm talking to strangers
About poisoned lemons.
Man, there ain't no #word
Important enough to spread,
Just do your thing,
But try not to be so smug about it.

NOMADIC FANATIC ๐
We're just glorified self-portraits,
A splash of #ink from a wrist.
So don't beg,
Cos in this realm,
No one's bothered about our awkward,
Silly kings.

We #arm ourselves with bright guns;
Justice, liberty and
โDonโt talk to me like that, Iโm offended!"
Of course we want lush,
Civil community,
But donโt forget the dogs,
Cos when the hordes come (and theyโll come),
Weโll be begging for the restoration
Of the Old Skool Warriors.

MEMORIES ARE TEETH
A #ring of ghosts,
Hovering,
Chanting.
Flowers wilting,
Tilting to the circle,
Lurching girls in purple,
Twerking for the turtle
(Ominous and verbal).
A sea of memories,
Heavy zealots looming,
Fanatical and swooning.
A ring of ghosts.

๐ Its the cheap drink that drags me in. Cheapest Kronenbourg 1664 in town ๐๐ป
Those poor #pen(s),
Graveyards full of them.
I got one for my niece
And she asked how she could sync it to her phone.
Yesterday she wanted to be a writer,
Today she wants to be a K-pop star.
#vss365
Anyway, this is FRANKS 4 THE MEMORIES.
I'm off to Wetherspoons for curry night ๐ ๐

A poem about the journeys I'd go on after drinking a hash coffee while coping with the intense, hypnotic boredom of working in a particular factory...
ALL ABOARD! ๐ตโ๐ซ
THE TRIP
This ainโt a jaunt, #man,
Itโs a trip.
Weโre going someplace
That wonโt leave us
(Canโt leave us),
Opening gates,
Tea with the Owl
And his mates.
Itโs '98
And weโre all aboard,
All aboard!
Marching through doors
In the floor,
Fisting the clock
And kicking the wall.
ALL ABOARD!

I drink far too much,
And itโs not cool on any level,
But it keeps me here,
Exalting the gods of hops and malt.
And here Iโll remain.

PRESSING BUTTONS
Enjoy the #tempest,
Cos this ainโt base reality,
It's a simulation
(But that doesnโt mean weโre pressing buttons).

STATIC TRAFFIC
You #frustrate me
Like a slap across the cheek,
Makes me want to rush away
And smash my head into a wall.
Take a peek into the other side,
Ask them (nicely) to drag me through,
Away from here,
Away from you.
You frustrate me
Like static traffic,
And ringtones on the bus.

RED MILK
I taste the grease of your arrival,
A stench of metallic panic
As birds flail into winter months.
The sky cracks into a sour grin,
#Overcast by black feathers.
You mock our numbers,
Bruised in silence,
Red milk curdling,
Seeping from the gaps in your teeth.

๐ Thank you, Daniel. That's very much appreciated, mate ๐๐
I smell you in the room,
Getting hot 'n sticky fantasising
About whiskey and cigarettes.
Ha! I thought you were fighting in a strip club,
But all the time you were at home,
Getting high f*****g the tumble dryer.
Join us at THE CLUB,
And #partake in life's ultimate cocktail.
