Raped by thorns in dark ghostly caves…
Thirsty leaves blinded where shadows abound
Nude roots lifeless as sleeping waves
Take no heed and be rotten
underground!
It’s time to kiss
the light…on your own
Pregnant clouds entangled by love-chain…
Seduced by lightning’s romantic
blinks and winks
Aroused heaven urinating
streams of rain
Take no heed and
be drenched to your brinks!
It’s time to
rush in a hush……on your own!
Wrinkled souls enslaved by erotic stings…
Skinless bodies drowning in pools of Sodom!
Pagan souls worshiping secrets of G-strings
Take no heed and be swallowed by a phantom!
It’s time to make amends…on your own.
Coconut mothers fighting predatory winds…
Overweight nuts fallen
by bullet hailstones
Circumcised leaf-blades flapping fury wings
Take no heed and be smashed to the bones!
It’s time to take
cover…on your own
Derailed by lusts for a teenage toffee…
Marital vows locked in bedside bins
Illicit passions drank as instant coffee
Take no heed and lick all your sins!
It’s time to
grow up…on your own

Inspired after watching plants grow through 3-meter-tall steel tubes that are part of our company fence...imagining the dark moments during their upward struggle....ON THEIR OWN....until their shoots came out to embrace sunshine.
