Shots, Cocktails And A Reverie Gone Mad
pressure builds
a guitar riff
a drum solo
a voice cutting through the dark
caramel Manhattans drip from my lips
luscious salted-sweet and alcohol fire
that mires me in memories
trapping desires in the bulge of my zipper
first hellos wrapped like hemlock in the humidity
clouds full
wanting to burst with delicate rain
fingertips walk gently down
their nervous quiver intoxicating the drunken
stupor of my shirt
I know it’s just a reverie
a memory
but I can still feel you there

Halestorm, Coltrane Thoughts With A Red Hot Chaser
Found a girl bad for my health
rock
sleaze
sex appeal
dripping from the tip of her waxed fingers
stinging burn from a
raging flame
the same that mesmerises the moth
the way it would bash head first into a light globe
tink, tink, tink
futility and headaches all round
I raise my glass to the stupid fucker
thinking about the amount of windshields I’ve run into
and that old joke crops up
what’s the last thing to go through
a bugs mind when it hits your...

Gravel Is Not Your Friend
So there I was
standing like a monolith
on the door
issuing rejection notices
for drunk and disorderly
checking ID's
usual banter that flows between those
that patrol the night
and fight for a living
flirtatious eyes
fingers dancing where they shouldn’t
enough to pull
high tension
that’s volatile
forklift batteries on charge
smallest spark to ignite
the fight
it's on now
fists and vitriol swinging
with vigour
headlock
hiptoss
legs...

Closer (NIN)
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=udwrF2hRh4s
we move in this constant
beat
approach on marionette strings
dragged by the crawling in our centres
low creatures infected with
the essence of fuck
connected to the animal
in each other
I want the raw taste of your flesh
to consume your sex
to take it as holy communion
bring me closer to heaven
I want to fuck you
not this lustless-bound slow "love"
I want to have handfuls of you
I want you to hit my heart
a pacemaker of sex
(help me) ...

How To Forge Rust
https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/cdpu1C1WNKHUeGuE9
I didnt walk the mean streets
I drank it down
salt water on metal
yellow-red flare of cigarettes
before they’re crushed under heel
lighters under spoons glowing bright
growing into adolescence
with a churn of addiction
rage flame fanned by
praise
for the ability to inflict pain
in the ring
gloves on
tears streaming
fight for your affection boy
the loser is outside for the night
and the winner
...

Sunset Sinks Into The Crying Ocean
a globe of fire flickering out
last rays are bright but offer
no warmth
drinks glide down my throat
in an abundance of ice
the cold comfort of fermented
sanity
a light buzz as the sun cuts through
the glint of waves
rocks crunch beneath my toes
I sit beside the esky
reflecting
a choppy sea of things I should have said
regrets tight around my throat
a noose
a slow burn
that has seen the world turn
a new way to measure things that are gone
I should have...

Knotted Yarn
Gently I tease another loop
from the length
a snarled tangle of
mess
no one has taken the time to
unfurl your kinks
so you can be whole then
wound up properly
not this knotted mass
of confliction
twisted up on itself
I will take the time
to pull out all the stops
whether soft or with force
that bind you up
so you can be free
from the length
a snarled tangle of
mess
no one has taken the time to
unfurl your kinks
so you can be whole then
wound up properly
not this knotted mass
of confliction
twisted up on itself
I will take the time
to pull out all the stops
whether soft or with force
that bind you up
so you can be free

Accounting And Building
Projector beams down as slide flips
to next slide
equations
assets less liabilities
equal profits
the back light illuminates her in an
ethereal glow
as she slinks past
lilac and lavender
drifts on the air
a heady scent
pricks sharp on my senses
the sirens song of desire
of longing unleashed as her hand
planes the air off my skin
offers of a private tuition accepted
where
I teach her what I know of building
how to truss and tie
how to scribe a line to fit tight
screw it hard ...
to next slide

assets less liabilities

the back light illuminates her in an

Half A Dozen Little Thoughts
The mockery of a shadow
betrays our years
a personal sundial
whiling away our time
a ticking clock
a constant
reminder
_____________________________________________
your love reminds me of
a panel saw
smooth slide in
two counter rotating blades
honed sharp
the first pulls me in
the second
cuts me apart
______________________________________________
spider webs hang between
tin waves ...
