POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I don't make sense but I sure rhyme
Cold Whore
All I wanted was some piece
And you turned out to be a cold whore
You brushed me off
I kept coming back for more
My heart is a post-whore zone
It reeks of blood and smoke
I need morphine
I can't blame whoever decided to wage this whore
I fight for good
The betterment of humankind
I wanted piece
But you turned out to be a cold whore
And you turned out to be a cold whore
You brushed me off
I kept coming back for more
My heart is a post-whore zone
It reeks of blood and smoke
I need morphine
I can't blame whoever decided to wage this whore
I fight for good
The betterment of humankind
I wanted piece
But you turned out to be a cold whore

Everything Reminds Me Of Whores
It sickens me right to the core
That everything reminds me of whores
When I'm with you..
All I can think about is...
You guessed it
Whores!
The city is gasping..
For the air between your thighs
All I see is whores..
When I stare at the sky
I'm dying to be yours
But when I'm with you...
All I can think about is..
Whores!
That everything reminds me of whores
When I'm with you..
All I can think about is...
You guessed it
Whores!
The city is gasping..
For the air between your thighs
All I see is whores..
When I stare at the sky
I'm dying to be yours
But when I'm with you...
All I can think about is..
Whores!

Just For Kicks
Kick the dust into my eyes
Yeah!Kick me while I'm down
Just for kicks
It appears that you have lost your kick
I only want you
When I feel desolate
I only want you to feel
Our wounds and flaws
Make us human more
The blood is drying
Look at all the drugs we're buying
We were once law-abiding
Now we're just hiding
I feel desolate
And I want you
Just for kicks
I only want you to feel
Spit your lust into my mind
Shove me headfirst into the ground
Just for kicks
This will be my last kick
...

Meeting My Cyber Love
I realise now
that all I may have loved
about you
was your photos
and the way you text
You can never be real
Now that you're here
in person
I'm struggling to connect with you
Our love can only exist
when we're miles apart
I touch your hand
but there's no electricity
not even static
To think that I looked forward to this
The conversation is bland
Our first encounter
Such a downer
I'm afraid that I can't live up to this fallacy
You can never be real
I realise now
that we have nothing
outside of cyberspace
that all I may have loved
about you
was your photos
and the way you text
You can never be real
Now that you're here
in person
I'm struggling to connect with you
Our love can only exist
when we're miles apart
I touch your hand
but there's no electricity
not even static
To think that I looked forward to this
The conversation is bland
Our first encounter
Such a downer
I'm afraid that I can't live up to this fallacy
You can never be real
I realise now
that we have nothing
outside of cyberspace

Log Onto My Cabin
all you do
is social networking
with every (log in)
this cabin
fever gets the better of me
and that is all
i'm prepared to share

that everyone requires

all i ever do is following you

Rewolf
when my eyes encounter,
the back of their heads,
i witness miracles performed,
because their cripple neck hairs,
stand erect

Nail-Biting
I bite my nails
to pick my teeth
Reading lines in braille
between bits of meat
I pull her hair
to pick her brain
Blood down her nape
runs cold
I bite her bottom lip
to remove the gag
Undressing her tongue
Devoid of screams
She bites her nails
to pick my brain
to pick my teeth
Reading lines in braille
between bits of meat
I pull her hair
to pick her brain
Blood down her nape
runs cold
I bite her bottom lip
to remove the gag
Undressing her tongue
Devoid of screams
She bites her nails

Viscus Trade
viscus trade,
a litmus page,
alkaline bile,
camomile, brine
entrails,
for sale,
for nourishment,
for a shamanist grail
there's no telling,
who will pay the price,
of encountering,
those who slay for life
innards contort,
severed victims,
out of sorts,
bladders of mystics,
in all the trading ports
there's no telling,
when you'll need a concave blade,
for there's only room for the depraved,
in this;our thriving business of organ trade

My Match
i etched your breasts
on a matchbox
with a scalpel
that way
i could always
dream of fondling them
whenever i lit a cigarette

Intra-Uterine Device
Animals;
bleeding on the little things
that infest
Man;
feeding and leeching
onto sickled fins
Fish;
netted in
along the coast
Dung Beetles;
pushing balls of compost
Birds;
fleeting from their own wings
Plants;
pleasuring themselves
Aphids;
hot on pursuit
of healthier eating habits
Ice;
wants to be thin
Protozoa;
inhabitants of bong-water
Fire;
always has a playful mind
Wind;
brings about change,
altering its speed...
