Power, Controlled
These hands, weapons
Implications
Needing no explanation
Breathe
Unfurl
Release and walk away
There will be
Most likely
No fight today

stars fall
..between the fingers of a hand
bone-white twist of tree trunk climbs
silence
in the death-grip of basalt
even the voice of the wind is lost
no translation possible
between painted eye and sewn lips
shadows fade
return
bone-white twist of tree trunk climbs
silence

SICK
I called in sick to work today;
Sometimes that’s not so bad.
My head is stuffy;
My body’s achy;
My hands and legs are kinda shaky.
My eyes are weary and sort of blurry.
My sinuses, too, have started hurting.
My nose is dripping; my stomach bloated.
My cheeks, in fact, are kinda swollen.
With that, I called in sick.
I thought the average flu for sure.
Who wouldn’t with what I’ve got?
But something told me it was more than that
When I turned the TV on.
There were riots in Virginia.
There was looting in New...
Sometimes that’s not so bad.
My head is stuffy;
My body’s achy;
My hands and legs are kinda shaky.
My eyes are weary and sort of blurry.
My sinuses, too, have started hurting.
My nose is dripping; my stomach bloated.
My cheeks, in fact, are kinda swollen.
With that, I called in sick.
I thought the average flu for sure.
Who wouldn’t with what I’ve got?
But something told me it was more than that

Understanding Chaos
By the time I realised
the puddle wasn't deep enough,
I was already diving.
A coiled serpent
displaced inside a ripple,
only going out to come back in
shedding my skins,
expressions I took
from where faces begin.
Nerves that strobe through conversations,
tin foil touches rubbed on metal filled teeth,
beneath my smile a whirlpool waits
to swallow each day,
the management of traits.
A clever chameleon
only walks on one colour
his tongue doesn't take the snow flake,
hides all day, awake all night ...
the puddle wasn't deep enough,
I was already diving.
A coiled serpent
displaced inside a ripple,
only going out to come back in
shedding my skins,
expressions I took
from where faces begin.
Nerves that strobe through conversations,
tin foil touches rubbed on metal filled teeth,
beneath my smile a whirlpool waits
to swallow each day,
the management of traits.
A clever chameleon
only walks on one colour
his tongue doesn't take the snow flake,
hides all day, awake all night ...

Small Rant
Beautiful isn't it? This world and all in it, but what about those shunned from it? The small scars, the sweet pinch, as that soft Melody of madness comes in, it sings, it wants, it delivers to me, the things I can only hope to see, a loving mother once here now gone, strung up before the eyes of God, father lost to his ways, drowning in poisons that took him away. Then there's this thing, what could only be me, broken by failed tries at trying to be happy. No love, but plenty of lust, for something more than a 5 minute fuck. No heart, but a abyss that swallows me whole and drowns me in...

Fallen Angel
I was the one in heaven who was in god's hands,
I disobeyed the signs & my plans were to get banned,
I turned to anger, hate & i wanted all to myself,
I sacrificed of fallen from the sky's & didn't care if i became a liar or a sinner,
I was once back on earth with society,
with the Selfish, greedy & piety people,
I was still in angel but a fallen angel on high levels,
Gambling, getting money, spending on sex, drugs & tattoos living like a devil,
Even though god was watching me with disappointment, ...

Chickens
I’m a keeper of chickens,
Though my husband wishes they were kittens.
They flutter and play,
Stirring up the hay.
They use me as perch,
In my hands, for food they search.
With no snack to give, they attack my hair,
Hey! Don’t peck me there!
I love my chickens, I really do,
But now they have me covered in poo!
Ok chickens, I gotta go,
You know I’ll be back later though.
Come on, move, let me pass,
I really don’t want to put my foot in your ass.
Please chickens, leave me be,
Or I’ll turn you into KFC!
Though my husband wishes they were kittens.
They flutter and play,
Stirring up the hay.
They use me as perch,
In my hands, for food they search.
With no snack to give, they attack my hair,
Hey! Don’t peck me there!
I love my chickens, I really do,
But now they have me covered in poo!
Ok chickens, I gotta go,
You know I’ll be back later though.
Come on, move, let me pass,
I really don’t want to put my foot in your ass.
Please chickens, leave me be,
Or I’ll turn you into KFC!

SCARS OF DEPRESSION
Here on my arm,
Lies a mark so fresh.
Self inflicted,
To punish my flesh.
I pierced a knife through my skin with no refrain,
How can i not feel that tender pain?
Reminiscing on the scars left on my arm and chest,
I realised i laid in a place of total unrest.
Though am culpable;
Leaving on my body these signs,
I still remember blood dripping from my skin like juice
From grape vine.
These scars remain a reminder,
On my body so rough and slender.
I wept and remained in solitude day by day,
But...
Lies a mark so fresh.
Self inflicted,
To punish my flesh.
I pierced a knife through my skin with no refrain,
How can i not feel that tender pain?
Reminiscing on the scars left on my arm and chest,
I realised i laid in a place of total unrest.
Though am culpable;
Leaving on my body these signs,
I still remember blood dripping from my skin like juice
From grape vine.
These scars remain a reminder,
On my body so rough and slender.
I wept and remained in solitude day by day,
But...

Waves, breaking
Every wave breaks some time
Foaming on that distant shore
Adrift upon that endless ocean
Wondering, if it will go forever more
So it was meant, or so it will be
Then swimming, then sinking
No anchor to sink into the seafloor
See there, a ship, and there, another
Some even walk the water
But most drift, drift to and fro
Trying to break on that distant shore
Foaming on that distant shore
Adrift upon that endless ocean
Wondering, if it will go forever more
So it was meant, or so it will be
Then swimming, then sinking
No anchor to sink into the seafloor
See there, a ship, and there, another
Some even walk the water
But most drift, drift to and fro
Trying to break on that distant shore

Untitled (I cant think of a title)
I don’t know how
To be quiet
When my heart
Is speaking
