POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
If only I could rap
Borris Johnsons toilet break
Looking flash what's the price we pay?
Sweat shop labour
Childhood pain
Born in a system but now I want none of it
Buying borrowed goods believing good will come of it.
Possessions possessing me cant move beneath the tonne of it
X amount of debt
The shackle fits
Try run with it
Live for the moment
Fuck tomorrow
To pay my debts I'll just reborrow
Live the moment
Fuck today
Fuck the sorrow and pain away
The phone you always dreamt of all ready out dated
Who needs a better camera? ...

fond farewell
Serenity waits among the pines
Diminishing sun gives gold to the canopy
seen in the fond light of retrospect
The last line of the poem
more beautiful than all epic stansas of high noon.

absence
I see you in old movies
the world around you black and white
There you stand in colour
The truth in all this light
I see you in a photo
curled and fading now with age
There you stand in colour
Centre of the page
I see you in a dim lit dusk
shades all fade to grey
There you stand in colour
Last light of the day
I fall asleep and see you
as the world around me dies
You are standing there in colour
before my dreaming eyes
the world around you black and white
There you stand in colour
The truth in all this light
I see you in a photo
curled and fading now with age
There you stand in colour
Centre of the page
I see you in a dim lit dusk
shades all fade to grey
There you stand in colour
Last light of the day
I fall asleep and see you
as the world around me dies
You are standing there in colour
before my dreaming eyes

void
Alcohol, chocolate, coffee and weed
only thing pure in this night is my greed
Drinking alone, blinking, my phone
tone is low
you can see
Tell the passing of time in the flick of an eye
different guy, subliminal smile
credits roll by
My phone, my own and tv
only thing pure in this night is my greed
Drinking alone, blinking, my phone

Body image
Pop diva princess
heart strings twinge it's
Sex selling music
Art form abuse that's
become commonplace
Criteria requires
looks to admire
dance to inspire
erection
Air brushed complection
Volumised hair extension
What was all ready beauty reaches a warped form of perfection
that upon closer inspection
Appears
More a shop window mannequin

Ramblings of a battle ready madman
Paranoid thoughts my nan with dementia
The walls are encroaching
Roach clip long ago broken I burn my fingers
Snap to a knew reality
Fatality fixation far behind I clear my mind and find the struggles of everyday grind disappear
Like taylor swifts skin my mind is clear
Ever ready with a steady hand
Like a trip to the dentist my life seems preplaned
More organised than all the guys employed at staples
I'm taseful like cordon bleau
Ya
Lyrics lipless effervescents dissapears in seconds
Every time I speak I'm making a statement
Blatantly...

It's the end of the world as we know it(and I feel repentant)
Centuries past the tide has risen
Til the time one last soul is given
Hateful current from abyss spills forth
Intently travelling on its earthbound course
Now rising from their graves instead
That which walks but once was dead
Within the fiends lies just one thought
To seek the living til all are sought
The sounds provide a gruesome rhythm
As skin and flesh and bone is riven
Upon the hour that silence dawns
No single soul is left to mourn
No joy nor sorrow
No pain nor mirth
What...
Til the time one last soul is given
Hateful current from abyss spills forth
Intently travelling on its earthbound course
Now rising from their graves instead
That which walks but once was dead
Within the fiends lies just one thought
To seek the living til all are sought
The sounds provide a gruesome rhythm
As skin and flesh and bone is riven
Upon the hour that silence dawns
No single soul is left to mourn
No joy nor sorrow
No pain nor mirth

Roll your own
Of an evenin I enjoy tobacco
's the damsel desires me stoppin
tul be your death damn she
nother nail in your coffin
A comely conc indeed
though bearer of bleak outlook
know the rough shag I prefer
alas it smokes but does not cook
's the damsel desires me stoppin
tul be your death damn she
nother nail in your coffin
A comely conc indeed
though bearer of bleak outlook
know the rough shag I prefer
alas it smokes but does not cook

Joni Mitchell
I drew a map of the world with question marks were you might be?
I'll start with the prettiest in nature
I think like you and look in green places
Where Spring stops my mind for a few precious days
And little flowers push through winter to bless the universe
Something so long in the making
Guiding me one smile at a time til I find the flowers in your room
Gingerbread smells embrace me in warm arms while I wait
I hang my coat next to yours and fly inside
dancing barefoot in deep carpet
Dried...

Remorselessness just a line away
In this altered state of conciousness my conscience is receding
arduously enveloped, but..
nonetheless it's leaving
so I pull back my chair
and
stare at the ceiling
where the glare from a bare bulb
highlights the evening
my blood still seething
so what the hell
I take the pills
stick another 3 in
My heart beats
last week's rhythm
a grass creep whose smarts keep my mask in a grimace
I'd ask your forgiveness
