How in seconds our lives can change
remembering when we met what fun
it was incredible just being with you
how your love simply filled my heart
thought your feelings were the same
that view changed as hate came!
Felt a sharp pain in my back that night
with disbelief in me you thrust a knife
your emotions had gone into reverse
sweet so kind thinking we were close
soul mates sharing our lives forever
now its my death we share together!

Always had the obsession he was being followed
even before the digital generation
that familiar figure whom he had seen before
not certain this was his imagination
a click on the phone as if somebody listening
an uncomfortable sensation inside
even in his own home that object had moved
thought must be getting confused!
Atheist in his beliefs so no angel was by his side
yet felt the tingle of uncertainty
as if eyes were peering at him twenty four seven
over a couple of years it was constant
technology had begun to advance at a brisk rate
intrusion of privacy a big debate!
Became bedeviled that some agency was listening
checking his data did not feel free
being a conspiracy theorist was often outspoken
many colleagues had been shut down
just told the truth of what he saw in this society
but this simply increased his anxiety!
Filled with doubt about everything around him
sat one night staring very attentively
at his laptop screen when an image appeared
several days later he was discovered
by his worried girlfriend absolutely stone dead
face hideously distorted and crushed head!
What really had been watching and ended his life?
Never an investigation to ease pain or strife!

Had taken so long to pluck up courage
at the airport time to ponder the past
born forty-two years on this very day
now alone waiting to board a plane
did not tell the parents or try to explain
her hidden feelings of hurt and pain!
Knew she was abandoned from birth
brought up in an orphanage until ten
then foster homes where she suffered
abused pleas for help were ignored
attempted suicide a cry for support
in a vicious cycle had been caught!
Eventually she found loving parents
when seventeen and was adopted
guiding a young woman to sanity
married but divorced had one child
now grown up and turned out fine
who had brought back the sunshine!
This journey had to be done all alone
to meet the woman who gave her life
yet forsaken the child soon after birth
what truths would be unearthed!
The countdown to her heritage had begun!

That feeling of unease persisted all day
life was good there were no problems
as he left the office heading to the bar
meeting friends for a Friday night drink
the streets busy as usual he felt safe
not noticing a car parked close behind
stepping up the pace began to unwind!
Never heard footsteps and a voice shout
just the sharp pain suddenly in his back
he fell face down onto the hard sidewalk
did not see nor hear the panic all around
being rushed to the emergency room
clinically in a critical condition on arrival
the assessment no chance of his survival!
Became another victim of mistaken identity
caught in the middle of a drugs dispute
as the streets became the battleground
a bullet removed from within his aorta
loss of blood and sever trauma he died
at this point he became aware of voices
then he could see gowned figures below
as he was rising above them so slow!
The patient on the operating table was him
alarms sounded as they said he was dead
found himself passing through solid floors
could see one laced trainer on a balcony
became warm and a blinding light ahead
so peaceful how contented no worries
coming ever closer wanted to be accepted
never had such a warmth or so protected!
But darkness came once more he was back
felt the tube in his throat could not move
so tired the sense of euphoria had faded
was soon brought out of the induced coma
informed his heart had stopped for a time
able to explain his time at heavens gate
of what he heard and saw certain it was real
now how different in himself he did feel!
Had he experienced deaths welcoming clatter
they did find the trainer where he indicated
now always happy to tell his story and chatter
about that day from life nearly separated!

Not expected there was a month to go
all was so perfect until
a fit they said blackout could not wake
aroused in the labour ward
worried faces what was happening cried
thinking her baby had died!
No time to think so much for her to absorb
had an epidural for the pain
doctors and nurses were giving full attention
blood taken and pressure to
scared at what was occurring so very fast
on her life the shadow cast!
The baby was delivered by Cesarian surgery
there was the fear of no oxygen
while mum was unconscious so intubated
and ventilated taken to scuba
the pediatric intensive care hope fading
all the family emotions cascading!
Tests were carried out the prognosis poor
through misfortune little hope
physically so perfect hard to understand
removed from ventilator
no more assistance must breathe unaided
in disbelief emotions pervaded!
Days passed she did breath on her own
hope was restored for a while
though doctors said there was no chance
and it could be weeks or months
so together a plan to give intensive care
with that special love would share!
To this day tiny Jade is her name
in this world does remain!

Just a great day in the big city
a treat for the couple
their one annual visit was here
a tour of historic sites
look around the stores a show
happy together toe to toe!
Busy hustle and bustle of people
minding their own business
walking enjoying the atmosphere
heard a scooter close by
something wet on their heads fell
and life became a living hell!
Seconds later the pain unbearable
as flesh began to burn
everyone realised both splashed
with a corrosive liquid
was another abhorrent acid attack
time they could not backtrack!
From nowhere water was handed
to passersby who helped
pouring water on to damaged skin
trying to dilute the substance
ease the suffering of the innocence
with tender touch did commence!
The Perpetrators long gone from scene
utter disbelief a savage act
in a city centre street made no sense
or perception of their mentality
soon paramedics were there attending
the search on for those offending!
Both in hospital wounds being assessed
to see extent of tissue damage
as doctors frantically fought to minimise
the long term consequences
of physical restrictions to future living
mentally it would be unforgiving!
Such a despicable act is on the increase
mans cruelty knows no bounds
but what has changed over centuries
those just wanting to live
in peace and harmony wanting unity
without malice in every community!
But always those who are intent on hate
inflicting endless misery
not caring for anybody but themselves
where mercy does not exist
will take at any cost to make profit
for humanity does not give a shit!
Amongst us they roam devils in human form!
#TheFoureyedPoet.
How often we crave to go back in time
to change the mistakes we made
though the past is a distant mime
events that have long been played
easy to think of reshaping our blunders
that often tug at our stressful minds
forgetting those few moments of wonders
bad memories linger good hidden by blinds!
Yet I feel life is planned often causing pain
win or fail is this preordained to be
many aspects to learn reaching a higher plain
no possibility for us to go back and see
with such a turbulent and horrendous history
to survive reasonably unscathed a victory
trying to change what has gone a cosmic crime
mysteries must stay lost in the veil’s of time!
Life for us is short ticktock for nobody will it stop!

Started like any other weekend with three mates
worked hard in the week
so why not have fun when your work was done
met in the town centre
just after ten in the evening at their favourite bar
after that the night became bazaar!
Music loud the booze flowed and they all flirted
with the girls behind the bar
until a stunning woman came over for a chat
as she mesmerized the trio
at the beginning friendly and macho chitchat
thinking she was a pussy cat!
But the rivalry began as jealousy was exhibited
she was enjoying teasing them
this was when she offered the small purple pills
they assumed she was a dealer
but alcohol had muddled their thought process
took them as over her did obsess!
At some point walked away her task completed
the chemicals quickly acted
his mates collapsed onto the crowded dance floor
medical help called but too late
both had a seizure their life forces ceased to exist
their destruction could not resist!
Somehow he managed to leave once in the air fell
unconscious on the littered street
everybody walked around this drunken reveller
as he found himself in a field
relaxed with no head ache on a bright sunny day
with the smell of fresh-cut hay!
No noise of music or lights or that crowded bar
his last clear memory
seemed real how had he been transported here
confused stood upon the field
as towards him a familiar female now appeared
that for some reason feared!
She spoke coming up closely to his surprised face
glad you survived my potion
into my world you are the one I want to share
her face changed to a grotesque mask
she exposed fangs bit into his neck felt the pain
the adrenaline filled his brain!
Darkness then flashing blinding colours erupted
screaming violently thrashing about
awoke with a jolt in a fast food outlet dazed
opposite the woman sat staring
two coffees on the grubby table gripped his hand
was this a permanent dreamland?
Drink your coffee its time for us to hunt and feed!

The pain lasted a split second like a sting
true there were flying insects
as she walked by the fast flowing river
the irritation that followed
soon began to swell on her upper arm
it started to cause alarm!
Determined to finish her relaxing stroll
though that hope was fading
had to rest luckily a large tree was close
drowsiness overcame her
was soon in a deep and unnatural sleep
into a dark place her mind did leap!
Leaning helplessly back against the bark
became aware of creatures
of unknown origin approaching casually
could not move or scream
being dragged nearer the rivers fast flow
terror building to a crescendo!
Into the swirling waters her body did go
grasped by claws pulling her
down into a murky subterranean realm
dark damp a smell of decay
watching these freakish beings with care
trying hard not to stare!
Tried to keep still and shallowly breath
several gazed her way
eyes sunk that started to glow advanced
saw the teeth felt the bite
as severe pain surged through her torso
the transformation slow!
Last recollection was screaming for mercy
so cold could see and feel
surely it must have been an awful dream
until she was now basking
not of human anatomy on the riverbank
an alien beast into the water sank!
No dream but an unbelievable reality!
The Foureyed Poet.
An odd sensation was all she was aware
a pain and the darkness
awoke suddenly alone in her apartment
as if from a deep sleep
everything seemed exactly as before
yet different was so sure!
On the large settee she found herself laid
adjusting her blurred vision
her pet dog came to lick the hanging hand
but never felt the sensation
concerned sat up it was then she realised
life had been deprived!
Her body was on the settee white and still
yet she seemed so real
the dog slowly backed away as if in fear
her husband came in
from a night shift and to her side ran
a tired shattered man!
She had loved him now could not touch
only watch as he tried
to revive the woman he had just wed
phoning for an ambulance
in shock laid beside her loudly praying
their pet with a ball playing!
Paramedics came very quickly with aid
watching expecting the light
her husband holding their fluffy pet dog
hearing every word they said
both tried everything to start the heart
not wanting her forever to part!
Surely it was too late life had now passed
but a weird sensation
more pain a deep breath and a gentle kiss
a warm hand gentle breath
knowing she was back alive and not alone
really hearing his soft tone!
Upon a stretcher drips in arms on oxygen
heading to the medical centre
heard a voice an image of her dead father
faintly saying not your time
my precious child but I am always near
later was certain she did hear!
Eighteen months seemed to have flown by
their dreams had come true
back in hospital for birth of their child
the problems now melted away
happily over time her strength grew
incredibly life had begun anew!
