    Christian in Gomorrah



    “Do you love me?” She said
    as she rested her head on my shoulder.
    The party behind us,
    her eyes soft and lustrous;
    beguiling, concealing
    the truth of her feelings;
    heart of ice that would only
    grow colder.

    An angel of death sang
    enchanting refrains, while she whispered soft
    promise of free love and
    the sound of the rock band;
    rhythmic, pulsating,
    an abyss awaiting ...

  2. Ozymandias By Percy Bysshe Shelley

    I met a traveller from an antique land
    Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
    Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
    Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
    And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
    Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
    Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
    The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
    And on the pedestal these words appear:
    `My name is Ozymandias, King ...

    Moses of the Mojave
    words and image by Robert Staniford


    Icy embrace of night,
    no cloud conceals the stars,
    neither neon glow nor halogen spark
    intrudes against high desert dark.

    Colours lost in black and grey
    with hours until the dawning day,
    the slightest sound can rend the still;
    distant diamond-back rattle carries...

    A voice is heard
    to speak within,
    Spirit ...

  4. Discovering Wordpress

    The Motley Press ezine is going to be linked to writingforums.com and lit.org. There's a strong possibility that Hawke will be taking the chair as senior editor and she has expressed a desire to see it as an on-line magazine rather than have it continue in its current pdf format. It's still intended to produce a pdf copy of each issue for the archive.

    With this in mind I've started experimenting with Wordpress. At the moment I'm using their hosted version to get used to its functions ...

    then leads her pony through the dark,
    beneath the overhanging boughs,
    to rest beside the frozen lake.

    Purple eyes, which match the colour
    of the winter night,
