JJ Evendon Poems

Bins, bins, bins
and more bins.
So many bins everywhere -
on street corners -
...

A long, long time ago,
from across the vastness of our galaxy,
a bright silvery spaceship landed on earth.
Space travellers coming from another world.
...

Labyrinth's complex image
focusses thought.
Its pattern flows with mystique and definition
requiring precision and understanding.
...

True bliss permeates my soul
displayed like a master canvas.
My mind's a whirl of colour
surrounded by softness of sound
...

You said you wouldn't come,
but here you stand,
looking at me with lost mournful eyes.
Seeking refuge, seeking a friend,
...

I miss you now you've left
for all I have are just memories and a photograph
of a joyous moment long time captured.
History never to repeat itself.
...

The spectacular rise of the morning sun
never failing,
always welcoming,
is made more appealing with scent of fresh coffee.
...

It's early and I should be asleep.
Why am I not asleep?
Because I am awake.
If I'm awake, then I am clearly not asleep.
...

I stand and stare,
not wanting to go further
worried that, should I enter,
I'll be lost in the depths of the labyrinth
...

Oh help my eyes are red and swollen and can't see
For something unpleasant has happened to me
In the mirror I saw to my surprise
A horrible pair of red staring bulging eyes
...
