GHOSTS OF THE BC PENITENTIARY
© 2009 Candice James – Poet Laureate
(The BC Penitentiary was British Columbia’s main prison, situated in the heart of New Westminster, BC overlooking the mighty Fraser River, from 1876-1980.)
On the old Pen property spirits lurk and hide,
Ghostly voices whisper in the pale moonlight.
A heavy door slams shut with a thunderous clap.
A frayed noose dangles above a floor trap,
As yesterday’s ghosts still walk these grounds at night. (more…)
Guest Poet Candice James
I sit here talking Captain Morgan jive,
My tongue loosed by the pull of spicy rum;
I sip the music down and come alive
I beetle down inside a droning hum,
The room starts spinning as old ghosts pass by.
I smile at each and proffer all a wink;
Though mostly surly, one gives me the eye.
Nirvana’s caught in never ending blink
As Tweedle dum embraces Tweedle dee.
The barroom drunks now reeling, sing and hiss,
In karaoke’s veiled cacophony
But I’m oblivious with whiskey kiss. (more…)
Guest Poet Candice James
HOT NIGHTS
© 2012 Candice James
Hot nights, tender and cruel,
Wet, slick, flaming moments
Licking our bodies
Whipping this dream
To a higher state of frenzy.
Guest Poet Candice James
BLEAK HOUSE ALLEY
© 2012 Candice James
On the East side of Vancouver
In Bleak House Alley
Peppered with cardboard creatures,
A crude Cinderella,
Drooping wax figurine,
Cracked and creased with age,
Candling the night
Weaves phantom dreams
In the pale twilight.
Guest Poet Candice James
Terrible melted wax figurine
With large, grotesque, bloated lips
Spewing poisonous vapor
In a cacaphony of venomous words.
Semi-dead zombie
Enslaved by your addictions and ego,
An unwelcome, uninvited presence
Cutting your way
In scattered scissor steps
Through the lives
Of your imagined, maligned enemies. (more…)
Guest Poet Candice James
CAVING OUT
Candice James
Copyright 2010
There was always that single shaft of sunlight
Where it came from or how it got in
Was always a mystery.
All she had ever known
Was this multi shaded brown sky.
Always there; never ending.
She was born in this cave;
Lived in this cave, but didn’t want to die in this cave. (more…)
Guest Poet Candice James
THE ROOM
Inside this sinister paradigm of doom
Surrounding me with unholy noises,
The walls vibrate with the dirge of the undead
And crack under the high pitched screech of rabid bats.
Eerie, ghostly vapours
Trickle in under the warped petrified doors
Of this floating room of secrets I’m locked in.
DIMENSIONS, LIGHT AND WHIMSY
Candice James
Copyright 2010
I’m sitting outside on a cool balmy night
And pondering the science and laws of light
The glow on the horizon is a sizzling twinkle
And I’m wond’ring about a space time wrinkle (more…)
I dreamed of a mystical land in lost sea.
As I walked the shoreline of eternity,
Waves danced with sand beneath my bare feet.
The aroma of palm trees drifting to meet me
As I took my leave to Sharma Lon. (more…)
I danced on the edge of a Tsunami wave,
Tripping, stumbling, slipping into dark cave;
Losing loose grasp on subconsciousness,
Spirit unwrapped in full state of undress.
Waking, baking in suffocating heat,
Head swimming in pain with aching pulse beat,
Fumbling in pocket, find a match and light it. (more…)
