How do we define a human beings life
that seems to click into place
is sweetness and bright without strife
others only nightmares do face
maybe earth for some a Heaven state
many Hell just misery and hate!
The rest live in a struggling neutral mode
juggling their burdens and heavy load
who are just able to live not thrive
hardships for billions who do not survive!

Before him the road gave way leaving a deep hole
swerving just in time hit the verge
but as he thanked God for his mercy that day
saw the sky light up like a search light
getting out could feel the heat as objects fell
noise hurt his ears as it began to roar
like bombs exploded around where he cowered
fiery meteors from the heavens showered!
Not of mankind’s evil and psychotic mind or hands
but an unlimited wrath of the gods
where those who had perpetrated death and carnage
would face the same fate as the innocent
no escape for any living creature as the purge began
before him the earth and sky became one
as no longer could be seen familiar stars nor the sun
as this society’s time it seems was done!
Before him witnessed the end yet he knew the rebirth
would come upon the scorched ancient earth!
Am I but a story-teller of truth or just of fantasy?

He pondered why was the motorway empty
during the busy time of day
even the vehicles behind stopped overtaking
coming to a service area pulled in
but nobody was here the place void of life
not even his radio worked now
panic set in it was as though only he existed
into another dimension drifted!
Could see the entrance there was a brightness
felt compelled to walk to it
sensed no more fear or doubt as he advanced
focused on the building ahead
that was shimmering brought deep peace within
then realise he was no longer alone
smiling a young woman stood on his right side
at each other both seemed mystified!
On the busy motorway the carriageways blocked
emergency crews fighting to release
a young man from his crushed car and on its roof
in the ambulance a twenty something
woman lay unconscious intubated on a drip feed
but heart stopped now unresponsive
paramedics shaken as to her injuries did succumb
as this was not the expected outcome!
The male cut free placed him in a second ambulance
but his vital signs were faint
regrettably his heart to stopped and he was deceased
there had been no other casualties
with a sombre mood amongst all the attending crews
the scene was left for investigation
their bodies taken to the hospital pathology department
the paramedics for them both did lament!
Neither of them had any recollection of a fatal accident
as together held each others hand
the doors opened they stepped into pure serene light
before them a tunnel and glorious sound
filled with a peace glided in love and untainted delight
their souls freed they were heaven bound!

The cat’s purring seemed to get louder
for the first time an irritation
how quiet it had been until that moment
staring through the open window
across open fields and a dirty grey sky
his life slowly ticking by!
Almost in a dream like state became aware
of the patterns in the clouds
that drew his complete attention got up
found himself outside eyes fixed
as a large hole appeared in the formation
that lacked rational explanation!
The centre opened spiraling downwards
from within came a large craft
that hovered while the sky then cleared
just appearing before his eyes
he surveyed no noise could be heard
nothing else nearby stirred!
Cautiously walking down his long garden
it slowly moved upwards
as several small objects seemed to eject
flying in all direction so fast
ascending the clouds opened once more
this time of a wider bore!
Rising into heaven or another dimension
the alien object did transcend
that chilling sensation immersed his being
in his mind biblical passions
of death damnation fire and brimstone
at that moment fearful alone!
Retreating back inside his safe haven
upward once more glanced
there was nothing more to be seen
the familiar purring of his cat
brought sanity to a tortured perception
was there a sinister deception?
From that day his whole attitude to life changed!
The Foureyed Poet.
It seemed so fitting a windy morn
saying goodbye to a friend
the draped coffin looked splendid
always kind words a smile
for him nothing bad ever said
he leaves a void instead.
For us all that moment will arrive
many avenues we tread
an allotted journey for each to face
reflecting on our time
some the trip is short full of pain
unable to take life’s strain!
Do we have a measured lifespan
when reached expire
joining our family’s in a heaven
souls reincarnated again
maybe ascend for infinity in space
part of natures atoms race!
Creating the ever-expanding universe
one day we each will know the truth!
Or is there simply nothing?
The Foureyed Poet.
Could not Recall locked in a cell before
or even visiting a police station.
Now here he lay petrified on his own
listening to the noisy drunks.
With time to think why he was here
should not had that last beer!
He never meant to kill that violent guy
it really was self-defence.
Had anybody seen him get attacked
in that empty dirty alley.
Or as the man lay still that weird mist
like an orb the size of a fist!
Rose into the sky entering a weird light
did he actually witness that?
Police then arrived and arrested him
not caring he was in shock.
Hours later a solicitor came to advice
his situation to analyse.
How to explain what only he had seen
as the man lay dead.
Coming from within his unmoving chest
it was only one punch!
But fell heavily onto the back of his head
quickly the ground oozed red!
Told them everything that had happened
as two cops intently listened.
Soon returned to his cell to wait once more
until they had an autopsy result.
Not believing what he alleged had occurred
they said it sounded absurd.
There all night unable to sleep a single wink
told he would be released.
The man died of natural causes they said
charged him for being drunk.
Soon found himself on a damp busy street
falling asleep on his feet.
Not a religious sort of person never was
but surely it was not his soul.
Rising up into that place called heaven
that was only a written story!.
At this point his wife drew up in her car
where was the nearest bar?
Something changed in his life that night
given the gift of second sight!
This was a strange new beginning!
The Foureyed Poet.
She knelt by the dark grey marble headstone
once again on the anniversary
of the day she’d happily buried her husband
six feet down in the ground
eight years since she had caused his demise
for a man she did despise!
As the widow gloated behind a false facade
the same figure watched
behind her the deceased husband stood
turning could not see him
thinking once again how good and thrilling
never suspected in this killing!
No idea her good life would come to an end
as supernatural forces gathered
this time he followed her to a plush car
her long dead husband was back
what had changed to allow him the power
to be here again at this hour?
Angry sat next to the wife who murdered him
drove back to his once home
familiar items recalling such good memories
when he actually lived here
now a ghost haunting the house he had loved
before down the stairs shoved!
Whether there is a heaven or a place called hell
he had prayed so very hard
from a dark pitiless limbo it changed to hope
with a new man began to argue
started by the woman who had meant so much
now he would loath to touch!
Thrust to the floor berating of him was bored
scrambling to her feet ran
up those familiar stairs shouting more abuse
pursued by this enraged man
like a replay saw her violent death as she fell
her neck broken he could tell!
Instantly he was at peace free no longer in turmoil
a tunnel so bright he could see
Looking down at her lifeless body he passed on
but a faceless evil took her soul
Engulfing it for that overdue journey to hell
righteousness had created this spell!
Justice it seems had at last been done!
The Foureyed Poet.
