Poet Introduction
I see, I hear, I experience, am inspired, start writing, sit back, and wonder when I stopped being in control of the words...
Lillith Incarnate
The door whispers open, and a serpent clad in darkness slithers out
My eyes search the emptiness of our ‘home’ and I make my way unerring;
It’s your turn for a visit tonight, so here I come;
Racking your body with chills and tremors of pleasure
I’ll leave you torn and broken
Gasping your last breath in rapture
Restraints stained with blood and arousal
Want to play black cat and mouse?
These hallways cannot own me
The cages cannot keep me
My lust cannot be sated
I’ll drain you dry tonight.
I’m calmed for the day, watching the...

Letter to my future self
Tell me something:
What’s it like, being mature? Do you still feel older than
everyone else, or has your body finally caught up with your mind?
Tell me something:
Have you managed to find yourself yet? Do you know who you
are, what you want, where you’re going, or are you stuck in the 9-5 grind?
Tell me something:
Are you in love? Are you happily married, settled down,
children, perfection, or are you still breaking hearts and dreams and spending
each night alone with someone else?
Tell me something:
Do you...

Keep Running
When you were a baby learning to take those first tentative steps, did you stand up and immediately start waltzing?
No. You got up, took a shaky, oh so shaky step, and sat down again. Or fell down, whichever one. And you didn’t even cry, you just stood up again, and took another step.
What changed?
As a child when you rejoiced in the simple pleasure of running, you inevitably fell and skinned your knees. Did you sit there for years, staring blankly at the blood as it oozed from the wound, wondering how this happened?
No. You shed a few tears, got up,...

My Muse and I
My muse possesses me, taking my form, making me sway in such a way that none can resist.
She seems to feed off lust and aggression and negativity; her smile inspires men to abandon all sense and follow, ignoring their instinct to run in the other direction.
You have primal urges for a reason, but how torn must you be? This Amazonian before you tempts one side of your primitive brain, while the other side recognises a predator when it sees one.
They always abandon all reason, all sense, dragged along like rabbits, crushed and trapped between the wheels yet still...

Surrender
Come here, love, and give me a kiss.
Force movement into your limbs
Stumble and weave your way over to me;
Don’t fret, I won’t bite yet.
Come here, love, I’ll give you a kiss.
Ignore the warning in your mind
Instinct only gets you so far;
Don’t fret, I won’t bite yet.
Come here, love, all I want is a kiss.
Press your shaking lips to mine
Enjoy the taste of my poison;
Don’t fret, I won’t bite yet.
Come here, love, there’s always more;
More kisses to make you tremble,
Exquisite delights beyond your faith;
Don’t fret, I...

No regrets
I can lie on my back and stare at the sky
Cushioned by the frost that falls, so silently
From the corners of my eyes
And not regret a thing.
I can spin and twirl around the dancefloor
Cushioned by the gazes of onlookers, so silent
That watch my unending laughter
And not regret a thing.
I can live my life full of highs and lows
Cushioned by my friends that support me, so silently
Through all of this world’s trials
And never regret anything.
Cushioned by the frost that falls, so silently
From the corners of my eyes
And not regret a thing.
I can spin and twirl around the dancefloor
Cushioned by the gazes of onlookers, so silent
That watch my unending laughter
And not regret a thing.
I can live my life full of highs and lows
Cushioned by my friends that support me, so silently
Through all of this world’s trials
And never regret anything.

Satisfaction
Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.
I keep looking at his lips and wondering
What is it that feels so nice?
Why does it feel so nice?
It must feel nice, you touch your lips to his often enough.
A Ione finger strokes his sleeping lips
Jerking back as they curl up sleepily.
Soft
So that’s why.
Curiosity killed the cat…
No, it’d kill them, and no amount of satisfaction would make it better.
I can’t let that happen, can’t hurt her.
This cat will not die today.

Escaping everything
RIGHT.
Ok, that’s it.
No more.
I’m going to run
And you’re going to wait for me.
Sit, stay, don’t move.
NO!
Don’t get up
Don’t take a step
Don’t run to grab the keys
‘Here’ is not somewhere I want to be.
Sit, stay, wait.
STOP.
I need to escape
I need to take a breath
I need to run myself ragged
Feel the wind in my hair, numbing all else
Sit, stay, wait.
For goodness sake, just stay there!
You know I need this.
You know it’s not forever
You know I’m not a fantasy
And that I will come running...
Ok, that’s it.

Utopia/Dystopia
I have no Utopia, because utopia does not exist.
Utopia is a shallow idea, a shallow ideal.
If I was forced to describe my own personal Utopia, it would be right here, right now.
Nobody ever looks up; you’re all too busy staring at the floor in search of pennies and maybe a pound that someone dropped.
Utopia is shallow, and as such it becomes a dystopia.
My perfection is not your perfection; my dreams are your nightmares, and you want to build a paradise from this?
I am happy where I am, up here, where no-one sees me unless I want them to.
Nobody ever looks up;...

Screaming
Have you ever needed to scream so loud you can’t speak for weeks? Needed to totally erase your vocal chords for a short while, at least until you start feeling better again?
Have you ever needed to direct that scream at the one person who should be able to make it all better? Needed to take it all out on them for no other reason than they were in the wrong place at the wrong time?
Have you ever tried to hold that scream in?

Bittersweet Nothings
I remember saying blearily, with a half-asleep kiss
"Move away, pet; I'm too warm."
Now I'm crying out, all too wide-awake
"Come back, love; I'm so cold."
"Move away, pet; I'm too warm."
Now I'm crying out, all too wide-awake
"Come back, love; I'm so cold."

Heart Eater/Soul Breaker
Hello, Boy, I see you looking;
Look away, I’m only trouble.
Don’t get up, don’t cross the dancefloor;
I sit in the darkness deliberately.
Hello, Boy, I smell your innocence
Try a different cologne; you’re tempting.
Don’t smile at me, or tell me your name;
I never remember the name of my prey.
Hello, Boy, I hear you thinking.
Thoughts you will regret later.
Don’t imagine that, or wish it could happen;
Wishes never come true the way you want.
Hello, Boy, I feel your heart thudding;
Slow it down, I enjoy your fear.
Don’t...
