POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Inlak'esh in these dark times be the light my friend its all a game we play after all,
Black Dog c**t Of A Week
I will not lie, feeling pretty shit this week
like the effort to get out of bed off my ass
So easy to go back to wallowing, sleeping for eighteen hours
been there done that...got the apathy shirt
So thinking back on a talk from the other night
ok i am shit with technology damn um in lay terms i got no idea how to explain
i'll get it, i can figure out anything lol--im a bloody genius
Now both of us are Aspies and I do not doubt that genius claim
You know you are fucking stoned
when you zone out,...

This is a lazy love poem
What a wicked game to play
Not to intervene when it came to you
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
So keep your candles burning she will keep returning
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
Always and evermore
Into my arms, O Lord
What a wicked game to play
to make me feel this way
Into my arms I believe in Love
Not to intervene when it came to you
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
So keep your candles burning she will keep returning
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
Always and evermore
Into my arms, O Lord
What a wicked game to play
to make me feel this way
Into my arms I believe in Love

Jokes On You
I am so exhausted playing this game
constantly chasing my tail, it seems
I grow tiresome of two steps forward
three back, do not pass go, do not collect 200
What a joke the mental health system is
I am just passed from one joke of a therapist to the next
So doc I am losing the plot, wigging out
Oh no worries, here take these pills they will sort you out
come see me in a week.
Sad that this is societies answer to it's problems
I am but an undiagnosed self medicated mess
as good as this rant feels, to get off my chest
it is not the...

Tiny Dancer
right now in my head, there is a tiny person
restrained in a straight jacket..
screaming hoarse, raging bouncing off padded walls
grinning manically, long black hair dripping sweat
I don't know who this little distressed person is
wonder what caused the snap
The cheshire cat's nose could be seen from the moon tonight
come to mention it the man on the moon looks PISSED OFF
restrained in a straight jacket..
screaming hoarse, raging bouncing off padded walls
grinning manically, long black hair dripping sweat

Psilocybin Strictly Platonic
At a mates thirtieth
stoned but what's new
socially lubricated, now this is new
Would you like some mushrooms
well being a sociable occasion and all
Tenderly caring for dying fire
like it was my own child
Fucking fire armatures anyway
Hey mate what do you do?
Well mate, as it so happens here read this
Have you got a beat for it
like how about this
It was here that he lost me
filed under the strange conversation files
Nah mate I had pictured it to a slow sax
because who does not like a bit of slow sax?
We know...

Hamster Wheel
You can drag me kicking and screaming to the funny farm
I will be out within the day on my wit and charm
Amazing the lengths some will go to put you down
don't make me laugh you can't save money in society you will drown
I may be introverted child but I see things you blindly see
Money is a means to an ends that is all it should not drive life
for you are not truly living
Running about forever round and round the hamster wheel
lining some fat fucks pockets a gold coin one arm at a time
I will be out within the day on my wit and charm
Amazing the lengths some will go to put you down
don't make me laugh you can't save money in society you will drown
I may be introverted child but I see things you blindly see
Money is a means to an ends that is all it should not drive life

Running about forever round and round the hamster wheel

Over The Bridge
Road-train's snake up and down
the highway, flickering lights hypnotize
Fatality markers serve grim reminder
as pungent aromas
waft from 'Wingfeild' landfill
Australia's life blood
the truck swiftly rolling
taillights fade away
turning, heading off
towards the docks
Over the bridge I head
I am in Semaphore
home of Soto's
arguably Adelaide's
BEST fish and chips
I shit you not reader
get them while they are HOT

Rather Be A Struggling Artist
The struggling artist
wanders the shops
with a few bob in his pocket
Money from collecting cans
He is not ashamed
does what needs to get by
A painting here
a poem there
it's all beauty in his eye
He must look a right sight
all disheveled and unkempt
his long hair, tied back
as much, as he can
For the struggling artist
is waiting for that
Monet moment
that Dali surreal
He hardly hears what the outside world thinks
Music is his reality, the canvas his dreams
If he wasn't so...

On Stoner Hill
Out here in the perimeter
there is more than one car
on stoner hill, I came earlier
Vacated, here the same car on my return
Fuck them, we can share
not like I can't walk back home
in under thirty seconds
Besides the five minute drive home
just defeats the purpose and...
They just left, see stoner etiquette

The Nurse Who Loved Me
I'm taking her home, with me
all dressed in white
I don't want to share all
but this I will say
I fucked a nurse, once or
we might, have made love twice..
She had a Vampire fetish
my neck, still sore at the thought
Should have seen
the marks, I left on her back
For I let the Leopard out
she stuck a catheter in
drunk deep, my blood
Say hello
She acts just like
the nurse
with all the other guys
all dressed in white
I don't want to share all
but this I will say
I fucked a nurse, once or
we might, have made love twice..
She had a Vampire fetish
my neck, still sore at the thought
Should have seen
the marks, I left on her back
For I let the Leopard out
she stuck a catheter in
drunk deep, my blood
Say hello
She acts just like
the nurse
with all the other guys

Soulless Machine
I hate humanity, as we fast evolve into SOULLESS machine...
This is my gift
the parting of my soul...to those that wish
for HUMANITY to go on...
Just like those I follow, Beethoven, Dali , Salvador that is..
For if we do not RAGE against this CANCER, if we give in
with out question, humanity is already DOOMED....
