Standing motionless

By Allix Davis - Last updated: Thursday, February 18, 2010

Exhibited in a tattered and worn out leather jacket Sullen and shameless eyeing a middle aged blonde Her curls dangle precisely on her face The smell of fast food strangles the scene A torn page from a newspaper floats on the pavement Young youth clad in hoodies roaming unafraid A pit ball terrier with gold [...]

A afternoon at the pool

By Allix Davis - Last updated: Monday, August 24, 2009

I dip my feet into the lukewarm water Then plunge into the pool confidently Children and adults are splashing At the other end of the pool I am standing engrossed in the slow end What is going to surprise me this week? A couple are swimming only half of the length The life guard is [...]

Be carried by a dream

By Allix Davis - Last updated: Friday, August 7, 2009

I float in a dream along the Akhtuba distributary The reflection of the dinghy projected into the water The sun looming behind the clouds burning my skin A swooping great cormorants almost swipes my head I feel the languid water encompassing me Resembling an escape from a prison No restraint to drift wherever I want [...]

01:32

The curtains are half closed I see my own reflection in the window Where there is no curtain drawn I cannot make out my features I have been searching for work Without even having achieved a interview In what is almost a solemn month What am I doing so terribly wrong? I am thinking of [...]

ABC poem

By Allix Davis - Last updated: Monday, July 27, 2009

Aloof I stand in the rush hour Blood streaming through my veins Couple buying a ticket evoke soundlessly to each other Delayed train to Paris they wait on a bench Electric storm illuminates the station Frightened dogs on leads quiver Ginger ale is drunk by a man Haggard and homeless Innocent children with shock Jump [...]

In the meantime

I have been reluctant to blog for a while, temptation gets cut short just as I attempt to tap out something boiling in my head. Another poem I have been working on, is what I am presenting today. I may extend it in the future but for now here it is . The silence is [...]

Feeling alienated and without hope

By Allix Davis - Last updated: Wednesday, February 25, 2009

I wait in vain for that phone call That will probably never happen People promise many things Which I know they won’t fulfil Its a reminder of human selfishness The loneliness of waiting for others To acknowledge my existence The darkness gets unbearable I fumble years throughout life Expecting people to change I am naive [...]

An blissful moment

By Allix Davis - Last updated: Saturday, February 21, 2009

My mind is on the way you speak to me Your voice so sugary and smooth like honey The words you whisper so thoughtfully They make me spin in the open young morning air I hold you close in my boundary Grasp your warmhearted fingers I smell your intoxicated incense We both stoop gently downward [...]

To Berlin

By Allix Davis - Last updated: Tuesday, February 17, 2009

To Berlin where I was The passport control where I landed The kind guy that showed us where to buy the tickets The salesman who did not like my screwed up 20 Euro note The bus driver that took us to the train station The drunken girl on the train who tried to talk to [...]

My morning cognition

By Allix Davis - Last updated: Wednesday, February 11, 2009

Early in the morning I am often awake Thinking about life and what its for What is the purpose to it all I am a humble visitor of the cosmos I am sure to depart in 50 years Catch substance in another terrestrial planet Where war and famine does not exist Where religion is without [...]
