Despite It
When did I get so jaded and bitter?
I don’t remember. Which particular
Incident tipped the feather?
Was it the first time I lost my voice?
Couldn’t say no to innocence lost.
Just 4 years, experienced on earth,
Violating hands, that gave me no choice.
No haven. I was still a happy child. Despite it.
Was it the second? No stranger danger..
Loved ones who calculate, to violate, the manger.
How can a six year old be sexualised?
Yet the perpetrator not be demonised?
No haven. I still was, a happy child. Despite it. ...

Speak Your Truth
The zip has bust right open, on my emotional baggage..
I’ll tell you all quite frankly, it’s a suspicious package.
It’s not conceivable to think that one could feel so many things!
The good, the bad, the ugly bag of other people’s sins.
My feels exploding violently, in every which direction,
Such violations crammed inside, fine art of repression.
I’ve always felt I had too many traumas for expressing
But, my brain can’t hold, so I explode, an therein lies the lesson.

No Succour
Gagging on silence.
Rammed down passages
meant for expression.
Vein bulges in vain;
Similes seemingly suffocate;
Adjectives Asphyxiate,
Shut down afore it articulates
Anything of meaning.
Half thoughts, brought forth,
Castrated. Mid expression.
Communication? Nought.
Lip taut, with repression.
Choking on word venom;
Berated like your less then.
Freedom of speech, you thought?
No succour. The lesson.

Moon Beam Insomniac
Mind cleaved, in two sites.
Never ending, fight or flight?
Corrosive fear, corrupting sight;
Moon full, no sleep tonight.
Stalking my rest,
Peeping through clouds,
Shining regret,
Beaming out loud!
Finally, sleep.
I find no peace;
Ravenous waits
the mouth of the beast!
Insatiable, slavering
Maw, swallows whole,
Scream out, vague slumber
“You can’t have my soul”
So I’ll ride on your beams
Till morning has come.
Best to take rest,
In the light of the Sun..
Never ending, fight or flight?
Corrosive fear, corrupting sight;
Moon full, no sleep tonight.
Stalking my rest,
Peeping through clouds,
Shining regret,
Beaming out loud!
Finally, sleep.
I find no peace;
Ravenous waits
the mouth of the beast!
Insatiable, slavering
Maw, swallows whole,
Scream out, vague slumber
“You can’t have my soul”
So I’ll ride on your beams
Till morning has come.
Best to take rest,
In the light of the Sun..

I Don’t Know Much
I don’t know much about love.
But. I wanted to tell you this.
Heaven lives in your eyes,
Eternity roars in your kiss.
If perfection exists in this universe,
It is there, within your smile.
Oh, how it makes my chest beat so erratically,
When you pull me up close to your side
.
I don’t know much about love.
I lived a life laced with pain.
But, your energy is just so beautiful,
New life bloomed from the grain.
See though there are thorns
And we may, sometimes, bleed
It strengthens the bond ...

Rhyme Free Zone
I’m trying to write a poem
That doesn’t have a rhyme
I find it really challenging
Am I just wasting .. energy
It doesn’t sit quite comfortably
I’m always rhyming verse
Napow to the death, my comfort.
Call the morgue, send a.. body bag
The rebellion in my mind
Just to complete this simple task
Is driving me quite bonkers
And is a real pain in my.. butt
I persevere, it’s .. obvious
defeat not in my nature
And though I twitch, I .. sow
These lines of, poetry? Together
Shit.

Bird Blues
Let me be that bird
Soaring in the blue.
Riding the backdrafts,
Instead of suffocating.
Free in mind,
As silken feathers
Upturned, rising to heights
Where the static fades
The Blue consumes.
Freedom is on the wing,
Far from home discomforts.
It’s hunting season.
I want to take flight
Over the horizon,
Till I’m nothing more;
A feather dancing on the breeze.
Soaring in the blue.
Riding the backdrafts,
Instead of suffocating.
Free in mind,
As silken feathers
Upturned, rising to heights
Where the static fades
The Blue consumes.
Freedom is on the wing,
Far from home discomforts.
It’s hunting season.
I want to take flight
Over the horizon,
Till I’m nothing more;
A feather dancing on the breeze.

Bars of the Bard
Nothing is either good or bad
But it is thinking that makes it so”
Bars of the Bard, resonate,
Kinetic energy flow.
The ripple is only a fleeting reaction
To the cycle underneath.
How you feel is just a perception,
Projection, to daily reality.
The problem is not a problem;
It’s a situation and response.
How you feel about it is the problem;
Your, emotional intelligence.
Feelin ‘bout thinkin
An thinkin ‘bout feelin..
Responding from places lacking in healing.
The bard hit me hard, with a lesson for life, ...
But it is thinking that makes it so”

R.E.M Deep
You are so, bloody, awkward.
It’s really quite endearing;
The way your throat closes up,
Expressing depth of feeling.
The confidence in your gate.
Mistake. You’re a certain kind of shy..
Dusky hues coat your cheeks,
When you look me in the eye.
Once closed with sleep,
Your sonnets leap,
Locked Vaults, blowing wide open.
To my R.E.M deep,
Whispers to keep;
Promises of the unspoken.

Lost Love Letters
I started writing you a letter
But, then I changed my mind.
Coz when all is actually said and done,
Nothings really healed with time.
Was going to tell you of my day
And how much life has changed;
Since you’ve got nothing to say to me
Now your feelings rearranged.
I could pen the absence blistered,
As I sit amongst the trees;
I got out for a walk today,
I know you would be pleased.
Poor baby girl she struggles,
Misplaced her zest for life;
Think the loss of her big brother
Keeps twisting the knife....
But, then I changed my mind.

Pause
Pause, this forever moment,
Let’s linger here awhile..
Fireflies, within your eyes,
Light the promise in your smile.
Time stops, upon your touch
Yet, races to destinations.
Submission? Just enough,
Staccato, rhythm, tasting.
Scent infused caresses,
Dew speckled in the sun.
Grasping, locked-in tresses,
Kneel before my one.
Manifesting magic.
Spelling soft on skin.
We stopped time, with mind,
Now its love in making.

Blind
Eye no longer see
Rainbow, iridescent, auras.
Child like, lost belief
In all things made of magic.
Lips no longer taste,
Summers promised bounty.
Stays rotting on the vine, to waste.
Doesn't that seem tragic?
Hands no longer feel
Caresses, soul deep connections.
Hope, harshly, brought to heal,
Turns the mellow manic.
A tumultuous un-meeting of minds,
Wrath in the rendering;
As the entwined de-combine.
Darkness feeds the panic.
Rainbow, iridescent, auras.
Child like, lost belief
In all things made of magic.
Lips no longer taste,
Summers promised bounty.
Stays rotting on the vine, to waste.
Doesn't that seem tragic?
Hands no longer feel
Caresses, soul deep connections.
Hope, harshly, brought to heal,
Turns the mellow manic.
A tumultuous un-meeting of minds,
Wrath in the rendering;
As the entwined de-combine.
Darkness feeds the panic.
