POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Winter Night
If winters night could ever speak
We wouldn’t hear a single word but an everlasting weep
It’s the lightning and thunder that plunders the clouds
A loud flash, crack and peep that disturbs winter’s night sleep
We wouldn’t hear a single word but an everlasting weep
It’s the lightning and thunder that plunders the clouds
A loud flash, crack and peep that disturbs winter’s night sleep

A Lifetime Without
You are there... In the back of my mind
You care and I remember that smile again
That feeling of intense belonging
Like death is only a dream
A dream of a dreamer
The actions that led to regret
The past of happiness, lost
A pained heart
And an irreplaceable soul
Was it love that I felt?
I still care you know
But I have to be strong
Its safest to throw
The glass in the bin
Then to cut and slice
My wrists and fingertips
Drinking and smoking
A new group and joking
Am I happy or just intrigued? ...

A Loveless Cycle
A heart doesn't blacken
Kind words don’t heal souls
The past is a vast lot of nothing
With fake memories and selective hearing
A story book with pages missing
The prince and princess kissing
Forever here wondering if this is just the beginning
Love does not die, it commits suicide
Taking your self-respect and social life
Hostile until the end
The embers burn the next man’s hands
Face it. Actually look out those eyes. You get bored
Of hearing those same old lies. To see the same routine
Not wanting to believe...

Life, I Suppose.
And what could you say to a man without ears?
And what would be said if it in fact pierced his ears?
If iron is stone and stone is high
Pass the bong and sing this song
Everyone has problems, everyone has dreams
And just because fear consumes our happiness
Don’t just let it be
Wake up in the morning and make your smile, smile
Forgive forget and let live
Until you die because we’re all going to die
Endure the worst, be the best, love and all the rest
Hold things dear to your heart but closer to your brain
Let go of...

Loneliness is a Place
He hurt me in ways I could not see,
takes me back to a place I don't want to be.
I feel the sadness of those times,
I fall back into the weakness I once was
A violent ocean falling from my eyes
An anger that's kept quiet from biting my tongue
Only blood leaves my mouth, no words to be heard
Only tears come out, not a single shout
this angel he saved me, his face had two
like all that I've loved, an intensity unbearable
he pushed me back to that place I didn't want to be
choking on that realization, a feeling...
takes me back to a place I don't want to be.

Armour for Violence
I suppose I didn't realise how bad I was,
I didn't understand the extent of my depression
and that of the power of my anxiety
such a hard place to be
such a sad mind full of misery
a body with knowledge of violence
not just to receive it but to give it too
an angry time, of hate and lust
a false sense of security
a placebo of trust.
a place I didn't want to see, a person who wasn't me
it was someone else running the show
a nasty infestation, that was learning to grow
feeding itself off every fight,
every punch...

Falling Words
She falls deep in love, she could fall for hours.
She digs her grave deep, to the core of the earth.
She doesn't understand the power of her words,
words spoken with her body, words coming from her mouth.
She doesn't understand what's wrong with the words that come out.
