... adrift ...
am the plastic bottle
adrift in the ocean
won't disintegrate
any
time
soon
home
to a film
of slime
inside
and out
the cap
was twisted
and
discarded
long before the journey
some lips
did touch me
once
and then
the violent half crushing
and throwing off
overboard
am the plastic bottle
adrift in the ocean
too toxic
for land and sea
yet blending in
with the shimmering waves
.

(NoPoo 200) Plight Of the Unrequited
tepid
intermittent feelings
fading senses
lost in sorrowful
echoes
swollen eyes
puffy red
shedding salty tears
for innocence
sadly broken
sanity lapsing
within this
pincushion heart
hurt intenifying
surrending it's love
unrequitted
sorely thrown back
shown little empathy
just cruel silences
squeezing thoughts
obsession takes over
destroying what grew
Slowly inside
Leaving visible
Invisible scars

so long, long gone
where memories
meet the weight
of the night
is where
I used to find you
then, it was shearing sleep
to ribbons of pent up wrath
that strangled my light
and left darkness king
where behind closed eyes
sharp pops of lightning-like
bursts were reminders
of the very breadth of loss
now, it's cementing deep loneliness
permanently sealing
that past
exactly where it should live

swings and roundabouts
i doubt are ever
spotted by those
who cite them so often
all i know
is that i like
to give
a shot
a damn
'cause
i just must
good Samaritans
often make the news
for all the sad reasons
the very reason
i avoid pulling over
be it a
roundabout or a motorway

(NoPoo 201) Grateful Service
we salute you
give thanks silently
as a mark of respect
for self sacrifice
in dark times
grateful service with pride
graceful dignity
golden generation
freedom fighters
against pure evil
innocents murdered
externination campaign
total extinction expected
cold steel scrutiny
evaluating killing processes
they fought
spilled their blood
body littered beaches
spelled the final doom .

Music
there was something we wanted
on offer... simple really
to be alive, breathing
smelling the coffee
washing off old scars
you played the wailing guitar
answering orchestra, my heart
the guitar string broke
slashing into hopeful retinas
the songs of hope went silent
everything went dry
static dusts on empty screen
