Avenue Dread

By Michael Angel

To understand this book you have to go back to 1990.
I was in my early twenties and the recession was on in Australia.
I lived alone in my one bedroom flat and got into the music and club scene.
Overnight I started to write poetry everyday and bought my first acoustic guitar.
The experience was profoundly spiritual and at times supernatural.
I knew then that I had a calling and that I would follow it my whole life.
I published my first book in 1997 (Dream Engineering) and will republish it next.
I will also publish another much larger collection that is Dream Engineering unedited.
These three books make up the entire story.
The book (Avenue Dread) itself is best described as a spiritual, poetic, journey to find truth.
It was written in many different locations and over a period of ten years.
It is made up of many small, individual poems with a few long exceptions.
The work as whole had very little editing, unlike Dream Engineering which I heavily edited.
And now will present in it's true form. Avenue Dread is a story of darkness that finds the light.
There are many themes that run through the entire collection. Some of the things I try to say may be a little abstract. But overall I think the message is clear. It has the element of love, it also has darkness and light because these where all the things I experienced.
I found God and was able to finish my last book. It is my hope to inspire people to God.
The poetry also blossomed into music which I also hope to present.

AVENUE DREAD

Down on the avenue

There lived a little boy

He picked all his victims

Then proceeded to say

Once upon a time

In a dark and lonely place

Despair had overcome

His dark sullen face

A moment of awareness

A taste of sour dread

A kitchen in a house

On an inner suburban spread

WORD SONG

Never so much emphasis on a word

Soft spoken bird

Discovery is yours

Dark shadows cover

A journey through perception

The house on the hill

Stood old and glowing

With moonlight that hung in the sky

The little girl’s shapely menace

Stood hauntingly in the doorway

Her look enticed

Some aspire to surprise

Have you ever had
