A Song That Captures Our Rapture And An Individual Perspective
electricity oscillates
runs rampant as if alcohol is a super conductor
and we're the circuits linking it together
arcing from one to the next
until we vibrate the same frequency
the same harmony
tuned to her voice
we the milling rabble
await the next note
to play
try to fill empty ambiguities
that dance a moment before heading toward the
next high
the tune's amplified
hundreds of metres a second
a crashing wave of lightning
sparks a note within the collective
goose bumps raise on...

Another Common Misunderstood Troupe, Reason On The Edge Of a Blade
I finger paint walls in my blood
caricatures of
smiling families holding hands
assuming I could have that
my shaking digits
slash a line through the crumbling
reality of a folding paradigm
where belief has been gaslighted
righteously so
to the tune of a thousand score
of traumas
hidden under my top
the welts of scars rub against
my affinity for pain
my belief that it's what I deserve
as if the blood beneath my nails
is the dirt of Leda
a swan dancing
on the line of a...

Just Porn
Hands hold your wrists overhead
bear down with strength to pin
your lust in place,
as you grind my thigh
a smear of desire slides down the swell of my quad
A smirk lights my face as I ravage your flaunted chest
my tongue laps at the base of your breasts as you squirm and wriggle
a clipped cry as I nibble on a nipple a quick flit before the heat of my breath works down to your navel, the swell of my bulging cock slides down your thigh, rock hard rigidity tinged with the touch of soft flesh,
the tendons under...

Mentor, From Seuss, To Cliche, To Me
back when words were nothing
but tools to pry the undergarments
from a woman that didn’t understand
poetry.....
scratch that
I think women have poetry scribed
into their bones
coursing through their veins
as if tundras
star filled skies
and grass spun daydreams
are in their DNA
back when I didn’t understand
poetry
back when words were harsh
a dialect of cunt and fuck
and the rhyme
oh the incessant repeat
of monotone beats
and metre was a measure
I didn’t...

Sign Language
Stare at my hands and dare them to speak
scars that blink as they move
tri-tone paint splattered callouses
mix with fresh cut skin
fingers thick and clumsy
beaten and moulded
by heavy weights
hard work
and hours of hitting a heavy bag
they have punched brick
smashed plasterboard
one knuckle still in two
from an errant tooth
in a bar room brawl
the story they most want to tell
is the day they passed you to me
gentle
shaking I wept
for fear they were too clumsy ...

Whiskey Fixes Everything
Bar doors crack open
the way stale beer nuts crunch
beneath your teeth
a scatter of broken dreams
that fled their drinking buddies
then melted to the door-seals trying to escape
a fluro light flickers
static buzz
the way your brain wires after
the first couple
where senses dial themselves to 11
and whiskey feels like your soul
glowing warm in the centre of your chest
just to the right of your heart
the grime and grit
go down like a cheap prostitute
one that swallows for the right...
the way stale beer nuts crunch

where senses dial themselves to 11

Lust Is The Prettiest Car Wreck
She’s a bass slap suicide
somehow
she made it to my decade
clothes melt into a puddle
at her feet
her body a slow motion car crash
that seared it’s way into my retina
the shortcuts she took to grown
flicker in her eyes
as she beckons
me to know her from the inside
to trace the calligraphy of her name
etch it into my skin
so when we disconnect her memories are as fresh
in the mirror as they are with her
kneeling at my feet
coaxing me forward ...

Honed Edges Penetrate Deepest
the taste of freedom is etched
on the anarchy of your lips
this is a sideshow of oleander
and hemlock
where the paradise of you wrapped
in the mewling surrender
of poison is enough
to die for
the curve of you
rammed against my
thighs
the bones of your spine ask questions
that demand hard answers
you slip over me
engulf me in fevered burnings
ramblings of 39 degrees
incoherence growled through
clenched teeth
lost in the awareness of flesh
blades are sharpened
on whetstones ...

Tohora
silent tears fall
from blacked eyes
she sings
her voice a quiver
it reminds me of whale song
that echoes out
as if the weight of
the ocean borne alone
can only be sung in sorrows
keening cry
I drift toward sleep
in the blues and purples of discoloured skin
a tear splashes on my forehead
she whispers
"it'll be alright
we will be alright
mummy will be ok
go to sleep
when the sun rises
on a new day
we'll go down to the ocean
paddle our feet...

Vouyerism And Window Panes
I’ve always tried to fuck as if I’m on film
as if eyes are watching, judging my size
my girth, the sweat trickling from my brow
the duration, depth angles
but porn moves are so much for the camera
they’re disconnected as if cunt and cock are
simply there for the crowd
and not for me to be intimate
to be as close and deep in you/with you as possible
where we fit together
lost pieces of the same puzzle
where you wrap tight around me
you’re wet enough to
take it all in your greed
the curtains ripple like waves ...
