About Me

I have worked as a professional artist and poet for many years and often exhibit a related mix of poems, short stories and paintings.Main subjects are industrial images and townscapes. Much of my work is dislplayed on a range of blogs.It is simply a matter of pictures by paint and pictures by word. I see little difference between one medium and the other.

Rastar Dreams

Rastar considers dreaming
To be an ephemeral art form.

But waking or not, his dreams that night
Spun a seal of dislodgement

From the grip of liquiescent vapours,
And he was unable to escape

The echoes of subconscious mutterings,
‘Lords Ladies and gentlemen.

It is without great pleasure I give you
The obsessive obesity of your dreams,

A billowing prospectus of flesh- projecting
Colossal pretentiousness. A time bomb

Set to nightmare the centre of creation,
A revolving stage frozen with impotent sperm!

Listen and hear the clanking and wanking
As it wearily turns but goes nowhere.

It offers stark realities,
‘Take heed. Take heed! For you will need

To shelter, swelter and cower
Within the shadows of your waking hour’

Rastar, yawned, farted, kicked open the back door
And searched the ice box for fatty victuals.
