Handcrafted

 In a World of throwaway goods,
and mass manufactured meanings.

Crooked grins on billboards gleaming,
salesmen scheming full of bluster.

I want something soft of lustre,
made by gentle, honest hands.
With love and care,
and time and passion.

Something fair,
not fickle fashions,
made to fit a business plan,
for moneys sake,
seductive scams.

I want lovers,
not just fans,
or things just bought
and thrown away.

I want things for rainy days,
when there are no words to say,
no jobs to do, or games to play.

Give me something I can treasure,
made of beauty,
made for pleasure.

Bloodpoem

     A bloodship sailing over bloodsea, bloodstream trailing. Bloody faces, bloodied hands. Bloody bodies in the sand. Buried deep, a bloodseed sleeping. Soon to sprout, a bloodstalk creeping. From the Earth, a bloodtree born. Bloodred fruits, of hatred, scorn. Bloodfilled hopes and bloodfull dreams, of flesh by bloody branches torn, apart amidst bloodcurdling screams. What a scene, oh what a sight, great gory garden of delight. Dwellings razed and set alight, all ablaze, none left to fight. Just strange fruits fallen, adorn the ground, a Woman wailing, what a sound, bloodsoaked by the corpse she's cradling. All light fading. Putrefaction. Bloodlust sated. Satisfaction. ~MStJ~

Sense

  Upon the springy soft green grass I sat beneath the bright blue sky, time grew slow as clouds flew past colours rushed to fill my eyes. Yellow Dandelions grew, purple Foxgloves, wild red Rose, Iris petals shimmered blue, fragrance rushed to fill my nose. A cirrostratus veil of white, gently cloaked the atmosphere, filtering the bright sunlight, Bees buzzed & birdsong filled my ears. Blackbirds on a bramble bush, from branch to branch dancing about, gorging on the fruits so lush, rush to fill their hungry mouths. I sat a while until the wind, began to blow and chilled my skin, I thought I heard it whispering, It's touch sent shivers deep within. I woke up in my empty home, before the day could even start, I realised I was alone and sadness rushed to fill my heart.
