Untitled (4858)

By Hayden Veil - 29 April 2017

It wasn’t a loving kiss but rather a
kiss of love.

A subtle reminder of threads, names and origins

By Hayden Veil - 29 April 2017

Apparently
When Debbie did Dallas
There was a cowboy longing for
Bees

Things you should never feed me

By Hayden Veil - 29 April 2017

Tequila and redheads

Tequila or redheads

Tequila

Redheads

And

Or

#Never Ever

I suck ; always

By Hayden Veil - 29 April 2017

I suck on my fingers

Salty – from peanuts; salted n toasted

You stare; ?; !; ♡;

I have my doubts, you play me

always

Frown.

By Hayden Veil - 29 April 2017

Can I ask how I am doing ?

j’sais pas

Bewildered by the mysteries of tmblr

Her short skirt

Red lips

Hips

(I sometimes dream of rosehip drink)

Cloudless skies

(a life under a sun never setting)

A Jail, Yale ; the eyebrows and her

gray tank top

My second violin playing her

First fiddle and our symphony

a frown

Life; in general

Could be better

SO MUCH FCUKING BETTER

b.l.i.n.d

By Hayden Veil - 29 April 2017

In the eye of Shai’tan

My minor misdemeanor is

As devoid of the embrace as

Counting the raindrops

Not falling – on my cheeks

In the eye of Shai’tan

Your minor mindemeanor is

As obvious as

1

2

3

I’m not counting

There is no need

RUN

By Hayden Veil - 29 April 2017

I did a runner

Left them all behind

I did a runner

No apology to be found

I did a runner

Icicles waving

Unshaven faces

Trembling legs of

Precipitation

Frowning

Light Stalking

By Hayden Veil - 29 April 2017

Light stalking; balaclava covering his

face – the filthy whore no longer

begging for

more… Solitude, silence,

screaming whore

Doctor’s order; slowly, slow, low

Left at the altar

She never forgave

The fcuking whore

stalked

no more

Title: Theatre of Mischief

Release Date: 2024-06-06

Summary:

... but how to compare a howl
with the silence of embers;
the chains of time
with the lofty ideas of a child
petulant and needy ...

While no Artificial Intelligence has aided the creation of this poetry collection, there is alien influence. A boy of eleven, from far outside the universe, is currently influencing us all. They speak in riddles, of Jaysome and Hugs. Jay gave me this message to convey...

I am a balanced ghost who is a bee
I was ten circles once also you see
I am words collected like drops of rain
The long shadows do ‘jaysome’ exclaim
So if a poem confusles that not a bug
As every poem is secretly a hugey hug
And when you buy this book you'll see
The poems that are shores beyond sanity!

... give Jay a hug, and a thank you if you see them. They are one of a kind, the Shiny Happy People personified.

Title: Bumblebee: Poems for Dark Times

Release Date: 2023-04-01

Summary:

Bumblebee is a poetry collection for dark times. Poems to help deal with fear of being still, combatting the urge of constantly being on the move, and the consequences of being.

The Thought took flight long ago along an oral path that spanned a lifetime; but as Death came and Distortion followed the Thought morphed into another’s. Then the Thought caught the turning tide; through the ink splattered on papyrus and parchments the Thought found a final resting place at the hand of Man and the pen of the Mighty.

Bumblebee revives that ancient art of handwritten poetry that enabled not just the transfer of thought, like its oral predecessor, but also the highly individualistic expression of the poet with part clarity and part illegibility in the written. To futureproof the legibility each handwritten poem is accompanied by a state-of-the-art AI-generated* version presented in a standardised font.

Available now from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Waterstones, plus many other online book sellers around the world.

(*: well, no, not really from an AI, just the poet typing on a keyboard)

Release Date: 2020-08-12

Summary:

Ghosts frequently haunt the places we desire the most in our search for solitude: our memories. Our ghosts are personal, intimate, and often unreasonable foes of days long gone. Over time they become our sparring partners in the eternal ring of unyielding fires, refusing to heed our cries for mercy.

Please be aware: the topics covered herein may be upsetting to some readers. There is explicit content: strong language, references to abuse and scenes of a sexual nature; plus frequent misuse of punctuation, grammar, and the English language.
