Shards
I’m but shattered glass, fragments that aren’t to be touched
Forever lost in an emotional maze, but who gives a fuck
The light has never sought me out or led me
Forever lost around my next turn is an ever elusive destiny
But watch your step or you might feel me
Those shards in your feet are the real me
Dug in so fucking deep and pain’s exit is so far away
Relief, the bitch, refuses to help me or pay
I feel as if I’m sewage moving slowly beneath the city
The creation of everyone but hidden and doomed to feel shitty
The...

The Midnight Stream
The blood of twilight runs blue
And it stains the dusk fire ink
A midnight stream
Flooding down to Hades
Bleeding blue twilight
Over the fields of Asphodel
Reflected in the pool of memory
The midnight stream flows on
To Elysium we ride unconquered
And it stains the dusk fire ink
A midnight stream
Flooding down to Hades
Bleeding blue twilight
Over the fields of Asphodel
Reflected in the pool of memory
The midnight stream flows on
To Elysium we ride unconquered

Avoiding the Worm & the Rules of Submission
Off to the pub
bareheaded
carefully avoiding
all CAPS
but I forgot
to check my spelling
and drank a rather strange
pant of bier
while munching merrily
on ready salted
the lazy poet's crisps
After hours
spent grappling with grammar
it was time to stagger home
but without a hat to tip
at optional notes
commenting preferences
the naughty-naughty button
and a multitude of mysterious themes
I was in no fit state
to submit
Lucky for me
it was all my own work
and I didn't...

Cracked window
I was at a point in my life
when I did not know how to make a decision anymore
since every thing around me was wrong
and i tended to be a righteous person by nature
it was impossible for me to act on will
or reason
or deal with anything
and I did not take decisions anymore
they now belonged to the blank white walls of my room
my cracked window
and ripped off doors.

You have to have
A specific type of camouflage
To live in this world

Odd
There are days when I wake up
Thinking it's Sunday
Ready to watch an exciting football game
With one or two players heading for fame
Then, picking up the paper
I find it's Saturday
But this is entirely odd, I find
Because the weather girl on the tube
Says today is Friday the 13th
High gusts of winds on our way
Thinking it's Sunday
Ready to watch an exciting football game
With one or two players heading for fame
Then, picking up the paper
I find it's Saturday
But this is entirely odd, I find
Because the weather girl on the tube
Says today is Friday the 13th
High gusts of winds on our way

Truffle
I found that my truffle
Wasn't merely a trifle
Really not a trifle at all
Nor do I deny my genus tuber
Fried in butter and olive oil
Be it black or be it white
Tuscany or Appalachia
Up from the ground
Into my current a fole
My trifle
My truffle
Hidden treasure
Under the Oak trees knoll
Wasn't merely a trifle
Really not a trifle at all
Nor do I deny my genus tuber
Fried in butter and olive oil
Be it black or be it white
Tuscany or Appalachia
Up from the ground
Into my current a fole
My trifle
My truffle
Hidden treasure
Under the Oak trees knoll

A Moment In The Abstract
call it what you want
intrigue...fascination...infatuation
to me it's the unexplained..
the manner in which you get in tune with your intuition
the way a lost man can suddenly find himself at world's end
swirling down your Calypso's abyss
Davey Jonesin for your mysticism
where worlds collide and words coincide as
Venus-Earth-Mars
we meet somewhere in the middle
showcasing artists in the nude
riddled with antiquated aches and seismic pulsings
deep diving into the inkwell..the pitch...

Blood Red Azalea
a warrior doesn't retire
they stiffen, begin to dry
from loss of blood
be it theirs, or caused
by their instruments
upon another
i grow azaleas now
they open like palms
full of bright blood
each one eager
on its first day
but i, an old soldier
know they will be gone
in four days
i stopped naming them
after all those enemy
i removed from earth
removed, so that moms
could raise children
and non-combatant dads
could mow their yards
free of falling debris...

Quagmire and Disgust in the Underbelly
Eat some empty calories
A donut or 2
Suck a dick
Protein
Wash the car
Even though it rains constantly
Don't discuss politics
Pay your bills the last day due

Green eyed coffee Queen
Green eyed coffee Queen
I rolled into the Coffee shop a beautiful lady held the door, I thanked her politely, she asked had I been here before
She told me to find a spot, she would get in the cue, I told her what I wanted then did as I was told to do
In a while she was beside me our coffee's steaming hot, I gave her the cost of both coffee's, because before that I'd forget
Then in one single glance it happened I then just realised, she was so very beautiful with amazing Green coloured eyes
I stuttered mid sentence, I felt my face...

40 days 40 nights -where's my promised land-
Bobby ain't
gonna cry for you, pal
never whined once
when I took him
from from his family
so don't let his tears
deter you
gonna cry for you, pal
never whined once
when I took him
from from his family
so don't let his tears
deter you
