POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
In the morning
I’m a haggard old man and I ain’t what I used to be,
I’ve lost self respect,
And all of my dignity,
My friends are old drunks,
Toothless fools that all smell of wee,
But I’m getting married in the morning!
My bride is well known by the builders and dockers,
She knew all the tricks,
Before I ended up fuckin her,
Her sensitive side
She keeps that in her locker,
And we’re getting married in the morning!
The young one’s call this join shin dig a Hag doo,
Both a drink from death,
And the conversation has turned crude,
The band...

Ode to Row
Clear Clear Clear your throat
before you start to scream
Mentally Mentally Mentally Mentally
repress the things you've seen.

Soul mates departed
Looking at the night sky;
with its
green
elastic
hue,
wishing machines to take over,
sorry world you make me
blue.
Its only sense is pointless; it’s point a lack of sense
as I stumble in the world alone,
my soul,
congeals,
so tense.
I will only do it; because I love you,
And that way you will learn,
That we meekly shatter each other’s dreams,
You’ll do the same in turn.
You really, really got me,
truly,
deeply,
my thoughts pretence,
I let you share,
you accepted,
creating wild...

Daily Grind
It only happens on a Sunday
Is it because of the state I’m in, finite piles of drugs washed down with a bottle of mother’s ruin
It only happens on a Monday
Is it because I’m tired on my feet, messed up sex after a weekend out; can’t quite remember how much sleep
It only happens on a Tuesday
Is it because I’m in a job I hate, I waste time on the weekend’s snaps uploaded by a mate
It only happens on a Wednesday
Is it because I’m better alone, not sure to do with life or with who I actually get on.
It only happens on a Thursday

Fondest Memory
By far my fondest memory, was of us sitting near the sun, just the two of us on that star for years, we really had some fun.
Throwing stones into the universe; from so far up above, working out the sun got hot through our eternal love.
From chasing blondes in Wonderland, catching clouds to drinking lakes
Our time in space tho’ magical, the icing on the cake
We took a trip via shooting star and warped the time away, we came out from that black hole; 10 lifetimes lost in age.
We danced away our teenage years through a great electric storm, sweeping through a cosmos...

MASTER
A candle burns silent in this age old house, ambitious wax dunks into dust born generations ago,
The house is still,
A patient excitement stifles all dwelling; a pulse resonates as the house gasps -
Master is coming.
Grandfather is counting, He arrives at midnight,
Your world will change forever,
He will bring you new sight.
Wind battles the candle and glazes the wax, air enriched; with dust given life,
The trees start to dance,
Full moon looks down anxious as nature is ailing, God looks away -
Master is looming.
Grandfather...

Where was the love
As I reached and I looked;
it’s a fist and I duck
At the alter I panicked our 5 years came unstuck
All that I paid you in sparkling ease,
I’m listening,
I felt you,
hand on heart, on my knees
Tho’ I spilt some blood to pursue in that moment
as I’ve met no one like you, the rest I forget
I’m fearless like you
but with pride that’s been taken;
I’m what you can’t bare,
that terrible unshaken
As we rise and we stretch in homage to the sun,
We can’t kiss, we can't touch & we simply move on
There simply...

Forgettable
Forgotten by your true love,
Forgotten by your foes,
Forgettable in every space you take and every time you go.
Forgotten by the peaceful
Forgotten by red mist,
Forgettable in your abject stance, less so when your pissed.
Forgotten by the bottle
Forgotten by paraphernalia too
Forgettable in your conciseness, looking down yourself by you
Forgotten by your madness
Forgotten by your soul
Forgettable in your downfalls and that which makes you whole
Beautifully forgotten
Except you can’t forget,
You did all this without...

You and me
As you claw with your might,
At fissured skin -
You get inside me.
A spiteful rumour,
I eventually crack -
You paralyse me.
Like the darting tongue,
When I’m held captive -
You civilize me.
Bound naked and gagged
As you offer yourself -
You hypnotise me
A clenched fist to shouting,
The innocence gone,
From what happened that night -we both bled
As the fabric we took,
And the feelings we stole,
In our race to hurt first,
Us both hooked.
Like my sunshine moment,
And your head held...

Club Heaven
Three walls are built around us also a door and a gap - and dim light,
Inside our bodies wrapped together;
injecting life into the night,
Quietly rushing to come up behind you, as I finally take flight.
Tranquillity is beholden, your smile with matching glaze, our body’s tighten in delight, our mind’s our body’s’ maze.
A guide has come to take us, their feet beneath the door,
I feel my body floating;
I’m suspended from the floor,
What bright light flashes in front of me, heaven’s music sounds hard core.
