poetry

• cotlb

  all that was left of them
• cotlb

  rode the six hundred
• kamikaze

  as though he no longer existed
• kamikaze

  he must have wondered which has been the better way to die
• ozymandias

  the hand that mocked them and the heart that fed
• ozymandias

  look on my works! ye mighty and despair
• london

  chimney sweepers cry
• london

  i wander through every chartered street
• london

  helpless soldiers sigh
• my last duchess

  my gift of a nine - hundred years old name
• my last duchess

  a heart ... too soon made glad
• my last duchess

  then all smiles stopped together
• the prelude

  strode after me with trembling oars
• the prelude

  a huge peak, black and huge
• the prelude

  small circles glittering idly
• checking out me history

  but now i checking out me own history
• checking out me history

  i carving out me identity
• checking out me history

  bandage up me eye ... blind me to my own identity
• bayonet charge

  threw up a yellow hare that rolled like a flame
• bayonet charge

  king, honour, human dignity
• war photographer

  a hundred agonies in black and white
• war photographer

  before his eyes, a half - formed ghost
• exposure

  but nothing happens
• exposure

  merciless iced east winds that knive us
• exposure

  is it that we are dying
• remains

  his blood - shadow stays on the street
• remains

  tosses his guts back into his body
• remains

  i see every round as it rips through his life
• emigree

  there was once a country
• emigree

  but i cant get it off my tongue, for it tastes of sunlight
• emigree


  but i am branded by the impression of sunlight
• storm on the island


  it pummels your house too
• storm on the island

  like a tame cat
• storm on the island


  but there are no trees, no natural shelters
• tissue


  might fly our lives like paper kites
• tissue


  thinned by age or touched
• tissue


  if buildings were paper
