Somebody said they heard the cries
afterwards silence nothing more
gone out of character the family said
the search became desperate
only hope was all they could long
their emotions like a sad song!
They found her body in a dusty quarry
with no dignity in the heat
none could grasp this wicked crime
another young soul lost
her laugh that warmth to us denied
this monster her future nullified!
Humans have the capacity for murder
without emotion or any remorse!

They sat shivering in the basement flat
damp and mould covered the walls
mum held her two children very tightly
trying to keep them warm and dry
no comforts her benefits had been cut
any family to her the door was shut!
Left home at fifteen fell for an older man
who showed kindness in the beginning
gave her a child then became ill and died
was just sixteen and for her he cared
his family rejected them to just as her own
on the streets with a baby all alone!
Found herself now poorly treated abused
soon realised she was pregnant again
roamed the streets until she found help
a charity cared for them until the baby
was a few months old but funds were short
the council’s assistance urgently sought!
Desperate feeling suicidal told had to wait
funding taken away for now try a friend
ended up here in the wretched filthy squat
cowering going rapidly out of her mind
drug users satisfied their addiction close by
drunks used it as a toilet so wanted to cry!
Within her had a tough will could not give up
had two babies to think about now
only had each other determined from then on
to make a better life for the three
came up from the depths of despair with hope
knew from then on could cope!
In the bright lights of London a family observed
a young woman frail yet was still smiling
never giving up there must be kindness around
they came over offering them support
in a culture of destitution and the welfare system
decimated had lost its humanity rhythm!
Months really seemed like years she wondered
in her own warm clean room
children safe both serene unaware of the plight
a short time ago found themselves in
how many there were not so fortunate still living
amongst those who were unforgiving!
#TheFoureyedPoet.
Who is wandering our populated areas
many innocent people have vanished
anguished families have been in limbo
frightened where the young have gone
what is the number of the disappeared
gone most harmed it is sadly feared!
Anxious and desperate wait of the parents
knowing there is nothing they can do
always wondering why they are missing
empty spaces that have been left behind
sometimes closure when a body found
others hoping for a word or sound!
It is said often though awful maybe true
the abductors are somebody they knew
a friend or relative not a pleasant thought
anybody trusted could do such a thing
fearing the stranger not those very near
off guard as family members leer!
Keep your family close beware of strangers
humans a mystery even unto themselves
there are dark recesses it is said in the mind
that cannot be evaluated history has defined
those who have ventured down that evil path
its written must face their gods wrath!
Mankind surely is the worst predator and beast
upon all living things its hunger doth feast!

Out of breath he staggered to the edge
not realising the sheer drop
in turmoil uncertain of what to do next
he sensed the men were close
it was meant to be a short break away
sounds here he could not stay!
Nowhere to run made an instant decision
there was a river far below
so jumped that was how desperate he felt
better to die than be captured
time seemed to stop closed his eyes tight
hit water adding to the plight!
A fast flowing river pulled him underneath
choking trying to breathe
keeping his head above water stayed afloat
until the current eased
to the rocky bank weak managed to crawl
in a muddy pool did sprawl!
The rest was short he could hear the dogs
an awful emotion terror
he had only asked them being lost the way
from a friendly request
they suddenly tried to drag him from his car
drove away did not get far!
Their shotgun pellets smashed into the glass
then bursts the rear tyres
now out of control swerved into a nearby tree
instinct gave him flight
the adrenaline gave him the strength to run
but began to feel he was done!
Somehow managed to stand and slowly walk
realised the pain in his arm
this was what kept him going he was the prey
for some crazy hunters today
almost crawling up and over the crest of a hill
with all his being did he will!
Could see a road some distance down below
a steep slope the barrier
men and hounds were closing in a shot fired
if it was his end it had to be
forcing himself over he started to roll faster
of his destiny no longer master!
Agony had permeated his body to weak to cry
he lay broken in a ditch
through blurred vision saw a lorry approaching
no longer caring if he existed
losing consciousness never saw the vehicle stop
nor hunters observing from the top!
Several days later awoke in an intensive care ward
relived he was at last safe
until he saw one of the hunters sitting by the bed
dressed in a sheriffs uniform
his uninjured arm in a handcuff clipped to a side rail
had he reached the end of the trail!
Petrified at the situation what was happening to him?
The Foureyed Poet.
The breakdown service received a frantic call
a frightened voice spoke
a females car for some reason would not start
in a side street close by
a priority call was put out to quickly assist
an area where trouble did persist!
As the mechanic approached the dingy street
he could see the callers car
bonnet lid was up and drivers door open wide
cautiously parked behind it
consternation overcame him this was sinister
what was his escape perimeter?
Got out to take a closer look at the empty car
a street light shone brightly down
nobody was to be seen noticing scratches
on the deeply dented roof
a trail of what could be blood on the ground
hearing a faint screaming sound!
Though he knew the rule was to radio control
his instinct made him pursue
thinking only of the woman’s desperate plight
holding a spanner followed the noise
along the semi derelict and littered pavement
searching for victim and assailant!
Saw no other living soul as he followed the trail
it went into an overgrown garden
female cries were louder also a disturbing growl
almost afraid to step forward
moved on gripping his make do weapon tight
not suspecting the coming sight!
Behind a dilapidated and rotting garden shed
saw beast with taught grey skin
ripping at the females flesh laying so still
into the fray he went on instinct
hitting it hard but the spanner rebounded
and on him the thing rounded!
Fang like teeth with large pitch black eyes
it charged him he reeled back
falling managed grabbed a piece of wood
with a sharp point he lunged
ripped into the body that made it divert
just disappeared sure it was hurt!
Dizzy bruised and shaken ran to the woman
sure with blood loss was dead
amazed felt a faint pulse picked up and ran
no time to think had to get help
after leaving her in casualty sat traumatized
as the events in his mind formalised!
What had he just confronted in that garden
nobody would believe his account
still had to ring his firm with an explanation
glanced at his own bruises shaking
thinking of that beast roaming somewhere
close by of this was too aware!
Heard loud talking the police had been called
no longer his tale could be stalled!
at this point unsure if the woman was alive
uncertain of the future deeply sighed!
The Foureyed Poet.
He travelled the same journey each day
often noticing signs
watch out for deer running on the road
to preoccupied to care
always took usual route to place of work
not thinking anything would lurk!
Gathering speed at sixty miles per hour
found himself confronted
by a beast this the only way to describe it
no choice but to swerve
front end of his car ending up in a ditch
at a very steep pitch!
Shaken but not hurt it was hard to breath
air bag restricting breathing
yet managed to open door to make an exit
without even a scratch
the image embedded in his consciousness
what a hellish mess!
Darkness had filtered down as the police
arrived closing the inside lane
questions were asked what had happened
explaining he had seen a beast
no choice instinctively turned the wheel
or fate would have been sealed!
They wanted to know exactly what he saw
what he related like a yeti
but remembered seeing hands like claws
this they found hard to believe
this was rural part of England their reply
this he certainly could not deny!
Breathalyzed him surely he must be drunk
this he strongly protested
of course he was sober leaving them baffled
no other reports had come in
being taken to hospital just as a precaution
still seeing that image of distortion!
No physical injuries doubt on his mental state
was of major concern
kept in for observation and psychiatric opinion
at that time never knew
his rest was short lived as detectives descended
those tranquil moments ended!
Two serious looking plain clothes officers entered
abruptly into the side ward
with information on urgent new developments
on the bonnet of his car
deep claw marks consistent with a large bear
this I did not see I swear!
More upright like a very hairy ape like man
surely confirming his sanity
here was the proof it was not his imagination
then suddenly shattering noises
mayhem and panic filled the once quiet room
a furry beast came like a sonic boom!
The men in his room were thrown like rag dolls
he just managed to escape
what was this thing why was it chasing after him
months passed in hiding scared
the answers he felt certain would be his lonely task
in his own misery bask!
But searching the web found several others desperate
seeking the same quest
meeting joined forces to find what the phenomena was
there had to be a reason
for these terrifying events as more began to contact
this growing problem had to combat!
From just a few it grew into an organisation and army
as the horrendous truth dawned
not of earth but violent beings of another dimension
who seemed to target individuals
their battle had only just begun to halt the invaders
these violent alien raiders!
The alarms sounded there had been another incursion!
The Foureyed Poet.
The Detour arrow lights flashed on and off
as the car hurtled towards it
three desperate criminals intent on escape
behind the police converged
the stolen car swerved onto a quarry track
for them no turning back!
Bouncing violently on the potholed surface
constantly glancing behind
checking the progress of their law hunters
surprised when they halted
no longer in pursuit they heartily cheered
as the driver oversteered!
Finding themselves rolling over several times
coming to rest on its roof
shaken and bruised they crawled from the car
seconds later it exploded
all they could do was reassess the conditions
and their precarious positions!
Pitch black isolated looking at distant blue lights
uncertain what was unfolding
confused as to why nobody would venture near
through woods blundered forth
no longer confident or with arrogant contempt
for some reason now exempt!
Exposure and shock added to their condition
ever the sense of a presence
movement and snapping of fallen branches
unfamiliar sounds circled them
still having guns fired wildly into emptiness
no more could they careless!
Panicking headed away from the tree line
yet knew something roamed
tired sat to rest but huge shadows hovered
like phantoms homing in
began to feel trapped with no place to run
shattered their resistance done!
Then realised they were poised on the edge
of a what seemed like a quarry
rocks crumbling under their body weight
and the phantoms converging
fell backwards their screams reverberating
the following silence intoxicating!
The law enforcement agencies went in at dawn
to recover the bodies
nobody dared enter at night it was dangerous
this was a long cursed spot
where many unexplained deaths had transpired
and normal reality expired!
The Foureyed Poet.
That smile will be with me forever
on the day it all went wrong
the two of us trying to be clever
our journey was too long
deciding to take a different trail
thus must recount the tale!
That smile will be with me forever!
Desperate to try and save our marriage
after both drifting apart
had we passed that irreversible stage
our love was there a start
yet the tension high I drove far to fast
and our destinations cast!
That smile will be with me forever
Into a tree we rammed I was powerless
to avoid the collision
the anger had created this foolishness
shaping the final decision
my side was undamaged just shaken
realising I was mistaken!
That smile will be with me forever
Why had I been such a stubborn man
had shock awoken me
you the only one in my earthly plan
at first what I did not see
there hurt with that angelic smile
how bad I was in denial!
That smile will be with me forever
Somehow got a signal to call assistance
talking more than before
why now could we seem to be consistent
doing my best to reassure
that any problems we would transform
our love overcame any storm!
That smile will be with me forever
As the rescue team arrived we tenderly kissed
such a magical moment
how such tenderness for so long I had missed
she had been to me sent
that smile I shall never forget or guilt fade
too late true feelings displayed!
She died from her injuries soon after!
That smile will remain with me forever!
The Foureyed Poet.
The neighbours had heard the child’s cries
but did not want to get involved
outside the appearance was of normality
curtains closed with a sense of despair
the wooden front door shut firm and tight
a report made of possible plight!
A social worker came to make a first call
ominously knocking on that door
unsure she waited for someone to answer
at last a young woman opened it ajar
an unpleasant odour wafted out of there
as she spoke with a pleading stare!
A whimpering could be heard from inside
but she was not allowed to enter
little was said as she quickly shut that door
the social worker could do no more
making her report it was filed an at risk case
soon they had forgotten this place!
Weeks passed and an urgent call was made
the police were soon knocking that door
breaking it down as screaming was heard
inside was a complete scene of squalor
a child of about ten was found nearly dead
lying still and helpless in a putrid bed!
They discovered a young woman distraught
trying hard to revive the poor child
two other kids ran around in a terrible state
within minutes the child was in hospital
the life signs the doctors said were not good
at his side at death his mother stood!
Such sadness when a child does not survive
his brother and sister taken into care
later at the enquiry each blamed the other
nothing resolved it will happen again
where is the next door with horrors to hide
desperate victims helpless inside?
The father never found the mother later died!
