after months of darkness shivering under winter’s harness hope blossoms in the trees spring wafts on the breeze as she transports her flounder back to where she found her beached by a turbulent wave floundering in a sandy grave she rescued Neptune’s daughter and kept her in a globe of water until after months of […]

Doll Phobia
in the dank cellar a distillation of fear seeps from dusty vials moulding into the vile tang of pink plastic with its sardonic grin staring with marbly eyes that blink knowingly in quirky silent movie motion © Kim M.

Surprises
In a blur of inner city (macular) de- generation, corporate vampires suck the blood of the nation, toppling steeples and […]
Romance
It was the idea of him Formed in the clouds of romance: His arms, strong enough To row her boat, Keep her afloat On a symphony of shiny ripples. She would be his diamond Amongst the scattered jewels In this glassy, watery place. And then the clouds broke, She fell out of the sky, Tears […]

I believed that blood Was thicker but you turned hazardous And you broke the fragile bond of sisterhood. The […]
Boxed in
Creak of ropes melds with creak of trees Bare wooden boxes swing in the breeze Contorted bone and spine are folded in Cubes of splintered wood on naked skin Swinging high amongst leaves and limbs Incarcerated at the furious forest’s whim Open to elements and nature’s powers Punishing heat, cold, wind and showers Revenge is […]
Flying Her Heart
She followed in the wake of her lover’s distant boat, Flying her heart like a kite above waves. She was trying in vain to keep her life afloat, But her heart scraped clouds and was soaked by rain. She was tied by a rope, Her love firmly anchored to a sailor who left her To […]
