Poet Introduction
Too much angst for a 25 year old
Cat (haiku)
I do not do it
To completely lose control,
But to take it back.
To completely lose control,
But to take it back.

Stinging Silence
It was never the words they used that hurt.
The cavalier half baked insults they would spurt
From the tainted mouths of the sweetest angels like water on a hot summer's day.
I never cared about the expressions on their faces,
The almost frenzied look in their half dead eyes,
Using unadulterated force as a half baked disguise,
Pushing back against their demons who told them such lies,
Yearning for control in an uncontrollable world,
Wanting to break free and go places...
It was never them that hurt.
It wasn't the bruises, the names or...

Chocolate Pudding haiku
Its as smooth as silk
An intoxicating smell
My deep dark secret

Haiku
I can't capture you,
Not for a lack of trying
You're just out of reach

Nonsensical Scribbles
The thoughts in my head flutter by
Like the sliver of intelligence in your eye,
Cheerfully it waves goodbye
As its eaten by that pie
In the corner.
Wait
Isn't that Horner's?
Shut up man,
You'll blow my cover
Of darkness.
What rhymes with ness?
Fis?
Lis?
Bliss?
Marital bliss of the honeymoon couple
Interupted by the pina colada trying to double
His money.
On red I'll place a grande grand
Black 17
Well fuck me!
Pretty please,
With a cherry on top?
Oh come now,
Don't be such a tease,...

Words (suggestions on how to end it welcome)
What of the words that are left unsaid?
Are they simply never spoken,
Just... left for dead?
What of the thoughts that get forgotten?
That brilliant insight,
The awe inspiring flash of light
That you just can't quite reach.
What of the souls that were never bared?
The loves that were ignored,
The meals left unshared.
What of the friends that will never meet?
Kindred spirits, close enough to touch
Divided by their own lives,
Because its too much effort for strangers to greet.
What of the voices stifled?
The...

my neck hurts
Tossing and turning
I lie awake
My synapses burning,
I struggle to drift
Against the current of an icy river
With a broken paddle and a wet piece of bread
I contemplate all that I've ever done and all I've ever said.
My tumbling thoughts are creating a rift
Between sanity, sleep
And my mind which roams free
I sense that my train of thought is a submarine
And its dived down too deep
No turning back now
I'm just an uncomfortable heap.
I'm consumed by my chaos
My joys and mistakes
Motherfucker,
I need sleep,
For fucksakes!

Falling Feathers(2.0)
Feathers fall without a sound.
Silently stripped from an Angel's wing,
No one ever sees them hit the ground.
Feathers plucked like golden strings
Weaving a melody of hypocrisy,
That plays throughout your nicest dreams
With the sweet and perfect harmony
Of the songs within silent the screams
Of those who fear what the morning brings.
Feathers float in the afternoon air
Witnessing the blind put on masks of all colours
To fool their friends,
Families,
Lovers.
Hearing the deaf proclaim the ideas
Of a little birdie that whispers...

Deepest Desire
To feel,
Just for once
An emotion that rings true.
To not have to pretend.
For my caresses
And soft words
To be more than a husk,
A mere reflection.
Sometimes I lay awake at night
And just wonder
Am I the only one?
*written for the 'what do you want?' Competition*
