And I wait (ramble stream of consciousness forth coming)
I know when we found the coins to scrape together
to put you on that flight you would
have the time of your life
the snippets of the man you will become
touching at the corners of your eyes
when you coached your sisters soccer team at 13
and even now when your walk through the yard
the little ones treat you like a rockstar
and they brag that
you
you with the smart mouth and foul language
you who we have seen naked and cold
and broken and scared
are their hero
and my daughters brag about you
being...

We’re Here, f**k It, It’s Fine
We sit on the couch
the one you fucked up
the one I fucked you up on
your naked body pressed into mine
until the adrenaline, shock
and post coitus dopamine become more manageable
I hold your shivering body
knowing that I’m the net
that it means more than all the bravado
and dick swinging
that you need that soft space to land
because power suits and sweet-dagger-retorts
take their toll
sometime you need to be
you
trembling in that blushing hue
of...

I Worry Boy
once we were warriors filled
with fierce pride
banging our fists to chest
we would shake with the need to bleed
or make bleed
we were men that knew the language of protection
we were men that knew the language of love
toward our family
that knew how to nurture
our hard curbed by their soft
but
warped by booze
violence turned inward
we directed hate at ourselves
letting it spill over our loved ones
and our pride
died
became a curse
cheap piss and beer breath ...
with fierce pride
banging our fists to chest
we would shake with the need to bleed
or make bleed
we were men that knew the language of protection
we were men that knew the language of love
toward our family
that knew how to nurture
our hard curbed by their soft
but
warped by booze
violence turned inward
we directed hate at ourselves
letting it spill over our loved ones
and our pride
died

Wailing Notes And The Quiet Beyond Them
I stretch in crisp air
it’s so sharp it burns
I’m here haunting the grove
sun cutting through trees
in an elegant arc of beautiful
I watch phone-screen-zombies
lurch through the cascade of light
hunkered against the glow
as if it alone provides warmth
locks on the case pop
the first note cries out
the sax’s curves as familiar
as walking
like sex beneath my
calloused fingers
I wait in the preternatural silence
drama in the scattered...
it’s so sharp it burns
I’m here haunting the grove
sun cutting through trees
in an elegant arc of beautiful
I watch phone-screen-zombies
lurch through the cascade of light
hunkered against the glow
as if it alone provides warmth
locks on the case pop
the first note cries out
the sax’s curves as familiar
as walking
like sex beneath my
calloused fingers
I wait in the preternatural silence

Delicate Balance
I wipe a tear
that trickles prettily
down your rough-rouged cheeks
as you gasp for air
I watch as you struggle against your bindings
to try and stuff my saliva soaked cock
back into your starving mouth
I arch into your greed
a fistful of hair so I can control
the depth
the pace
because you want my come
and I
I want your desire for it
that trickles prettily
down your rough-rouged cheeks
as you gasp for air
I watch as you struggle against your bindings
to try and stuff my saliva soaked cock
back into your starving mouth
I arch into your greed
a fistful of hair so I can control
the depth
the pace
because you want my come
and I
I want your desire for it

Let’s Take Each Other To Hell One Last Time
I’ve always had a way
with the petrified and scared
despite the way my body pulses
aposematic signals
from the scarred knuckles and hulking frame
to the frown lines etched into my face
and I wonder if it’s
because of a sympathetic-nervous-system response
reminiscent of the times I hid in a closet and read books
my small boy body discoloured in the hue
of the beating I took
adrenaline still pounding through my trembling flesh
or if it was because I didn’t care if I got hurt ...
with the petrified and scared
despite the way my body pulses
aposematic signals
from the scarred knuckles and hulking frame
to the frown lines etched into my face
and I wonder if it’s
because of a sympathetic-nervous-system response
reminiscent of the times I hid in a closet and read books
my small boy body discoloured in the hue
of the beating I took
adrenaline still pounding through my trembling flesh
or if it was because I didn’t care if I got hurt ...

Redemption In The Wreckage
I’ve always loved you best
in the dark
away from prying eyes in
revered silence
where your allure was mine
and it whistled careless as
the wind cutting through the cliffs
from those moments I stole and we shared
right now you remind me of a hymn
of blasphemy sung in augmented fourth
I can’t bear to see you like this
our names crusted in your blood
as you traced
what was lost on the mantle
the mahogany absorbing your essence
filling the carved out words ...
in the dark
away from prying eyes in
revered silence
where your allure was mine
and it whistled careless as
the wind cutting through the cliffs
from those moments I stole and we shared
right now you remind me of a hymn

I can’t bear to see you like this

Like A Beacon
I thought you’d left a light on for me
in that place we built from thin air
and pieces of ourselves we hid
it stood as a monument to everything
I didn’t know I wanted
in that time it stilled
a grand design
a Van Gogh
using pain and suffering to
paint our version of “Starry Night”
turning it into the most gorgeous suffering
of fools in love
we emblazoned our names into the the bust of the mantle
with little hearts
like love sick teenagers
so...
