Poet Introduction
I find my scribblings are either brimming with light or staring into darkness, well, we all have to peer into the void sometimes.

Uncovered
It's as simple as
I love you,
and yet it feels
like a conundrum,
a crossword
with answered questions
and no blank spaces,
so I fumble my way through,
but fail to convey,
yet again that
which should be simple.
So while you read this
I just want you to know,
that you are still the giant
who split mountains
and discovered something eternal,
even if it was left in your wake

Pendulum
I can feel the weight of gravity,
it's pressure on my skin,
Living lifetimes in
the past and future
between the pendulums swing.
The self affacing tragedies
The comedies of youth,
The drama's in the romance
The romance in the truth.
Powerless to retain her love
it slips into the night,
Fracturing me like victorian glass,
Oblivions dark delight.

Kisses To Mend Shattered Souls
Silent rain drops fell
As they shimmered in
The neon lights,
before vanishing
Into the darkness of night,
We stood close,
under midnight's spell
Cast between the two that had fell
In love with magic and music
Where cartographers scribe,
The maps of their love under watchful eyes of the gods of the past
And beauty of the future
Past pain faded away with
Kisses like sutures.
As they shimmered in

And beauty of the future
Past pain faded away with

Too Good To Be True
She was the hue of twilight in summer,
the hills rolled before her
like the sea before Moses.
The eternal goddess of my soul.
And then,
she spelled Thursday,
with an “F”

Between The Stars
It used to be, when we kissed
the world fell away,
hearts were full and nothing mattered
as long as we had each other,
now, we fall away,
from each other,
I’ve danced to this song before
and the tempo feels the same,
The notes feel similar,
and I hope, more than ever
that this intuition is way off….
Because the gaps between the stars
are cold when I’m alone.

Breathless
I can sincerely say
I am helpless
in your gravity
laying naked in the bosom of your vernacular
blissfully fragmenting into
velvet tones that flow
over my bones
like silk on glass
(there are no more barriers
for you to traverse)
autumn skin
fires my imagination
in unfathomable ways
where I watch entire galaxies
fall silent, perchance to observe
those words
leave
your
lips
I was not prepared;
Undulating waves of adoration that
bathe my spirit in...

When Hearts Divide
I miss you,
Like the tide misses the moon
I miss you.
My surface does not move,
I am still, stagnant,
yearning for your pull.
Like the tide misses the moon
I miss you.
My surface does not move,
I am still, stagnant,

Recognition
I want to paint you
in a thousand shades of sunlight;
Pastel and warm,
acrylic and raw,
alive with fire from
boundless stars
which sway with your breath
across blankets of nebula,
serenely silent, so majestic
that unspoken words
transcending through
ages to fall
on
the
lips
of
mutes
is all I could muster,
perfectly paralysed in a shower
of cascading notes soaked in your aura of light and love
penetrating my soul,
an orchestra of celestial
recognition as
the colours
of...

The Comet And The Phoenix
Have you ever witnessed a comet?
Hurtling across an onyx sky?
Out-shining billions
of stars and galaxies
quilting the heavens,
knowing where she came from,
unsure of her terminus,
relentless in her trajectory.
Her luminous train fluidic
as a space-dust wedding dress;
Shedding encumbrances
imposed for an age,
the beauty of her tragedy,
hugged as the corona
of a fading sun.
During the precipice of her decent,
crashing through the ozone
of an alien world,
impacting its surface
with...

They Danced
They danced in the vale
of the shining waters,
chests heaving with anticipation
as smiling lips touched
and fingers brushed, a subtle
collarbone while the
stars fell away,
in the midst of
their embrace.

Interior Redesign
This cacophony of thoughts
penetrate my core
(as I disembowel myself
on your thorn-clad
embrace) infecting
this already darkened
soul with delicious oblivion,
when velvet night brushes
fingers
along
my
spine,
skin blissfully crawls
as vestigial light
diminishes,
this baptism of dysphoria constrains
a love of the disposable,
meaningless provides the escape
of ill fated promises.

As Once I Ran To You
How hollow do I have to be
before
the
echo
of
you
fades?
How deep do I have to bury myself?
So that your dark light extrapolates
from my soul and leaves me free to
view a world with falling cherry blossoms
and soaring goshawks……
It’s said all rivers run to the sea;
(as once I ran to you)
yet you had me swimming upstream
into malevolent forests and ragged mountains
veiled in marshmallows and
the scent of cut grass
When the tide of realisation turned ...
