POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Fill me up, empty me, treat me with care or discard me, I carry a piece of every person I have ever met. These are my words, love them, hate them, understand them or choose to be confused, no matter what they are mine.

Horror Movie
Like a horror movie he moves stealthily towards his prey
The suited and booted man from the big city with slicked back hair
Drink, meal and a movie he promised then leisurely walk home
Smooth walking, smooth talking only then does his stench hit
His claws spear flesh making skin crawl
His lips wetly sliding across the face, his black eyes piercing yours
Making you melt with fear with the harsh grip around your neck
Tears rolling down your cheek all unawares to this beast
He's got you but you don’t know it yet.
The suited and booted man from the big city with slicked back hair
Drink, meal and a movie he promised then leisurely walk home
Smooth walking, smooth talking only then does his stench hit
His claws spear flesh making skin crawl
His lips wetly sliding across the face, his black eyes piercing yours
Making you melt with fear with the harsh grip around your neck
Tears rolling down your cheek all unawares to this beast
He's got you but you don’t know it yet.

Fairground
Come join me in this fairground we call life
Popcorn and candyfloss for brains
Pick up a loaded gun and earn yourself a teddy bear
Floating ducks with hooked heads in stale water bob, bob bobbing around
Have yourself thrown about on the carousel till your sick
You are a fairground attraction lit up like a summer night in June
Showing off your skin to the Carny’s while paying with your soul
Strike the hammer off the plate to ring the bell, does it toll for you
Taken to the bone yard so they can have their fun
You are their...

Night
Night after night into bed alone, which side to sleep on tonight?
Tossing the cushions to the floor and switch on the TV
Clambering under cold covers naked missing the warm of another body
Arms wrapping round pillow, cuddles imagined in dreams
Legs trapped in the duvet giving faint impression of it being shared
Lying at midnight listening to breathing soft and slow
Sounds only interrupted by crying emanating from some documentary
Neighbour scrapes furniture across the ceiling and stomps off
Bathroom sounds are faint till the flush of their toilet and then...

Heels
Hear my heels, click clack on the tiles walking down towards the underground
Sounds displaced and warped by headphones
Alcohol and caffeine running through my veins
Life has become a dream state, people pretending to be somewhere else
Earphones in, books and newspapers pretending to be read to hide them
All I can think is why is I alone, again, riding this dream
Whispers tell me it is my fate; I am destined to travel this way
Polka-dot socks and smart suits are plenty
Man plays with the hem on his shorts, is he trying to flash me!
I’m dark...

HeadF*ck
She's playing with your head, do you realise I wonder
Discovered the fact your flirting with another
Now itsher timetomakeyou to suffer, make you pay
Callsand texts saying she is being abused, tears flow
Thrown out late at nightthen refusing to come to you
Its a game she is good at don't you know
Now its time for you to worry butits all made up
Twisting words and feelings to make them suit her needs
Playing with your head your emotions, quick stab to the heart
Silent treatment make you beg for more
Worry about her but its all to make you pay...

Seams come apart
Fascination for the obscure
Bending over backward to fit in
Can I rise to these dizzy heights
Fearing I have committed a mortal sin
I’m picking at the stitches
Seams come apart in my hands
Staring at the doorway
I wonder if I’m included in the plans
Sunlight streaming in the window
Remnants of rainbows dance by reflection
Rain drying on the roof tops
I don’t want to hear your objection
I’m picking at the stitches
Seams come apart in my hands
Staring at the doorway
I’m wondering now about your plans
I’m...
Bending over backward to fit in
Can I rise to these dizzy heights
Fearing I have committed a mortal sin
I’m picking at the stitches
Seams come apart in my hands
Staring at the doorway
I wonder if I’m included in the plans
Sunlight streaming in the window
Remnants of rainbows dance by reflection
Rain drying on the roof tops
I don’t want to hear your objection
I’m picking at the stitches

Sleep
Take a pill, take two, take them all
Sleep escapes me, overloads me
I’m tired of thinking, tired of being
Eyes red rimmed crusty and bleary
Dried out husk full of memories
Reflection on the lens all speckled with dust
No more tears to blink the pain away
Mind in slow motion as the world races by
Time is irrelevant to me now, tick tick
Laying down head on cool pillow
Count the nightmares instead of sheep
Sleep escapes me, overloads me
I’m tired of thinking, tired of being
Eyes red rimmed crusty and bleary
Dried out husk full of memories
Reflection on the lens all speckled with dust
No more tears to blink the pain away
Mind in slow motion as the world races by
Time is irrelevant to me now, tick tick
Laying down head on cool pillow
Count the nightmares instead of sheep

Disappoint
How you disappoint you little shit
Fucked in the head drugged to the eyeballs
Drunken wandering hands pushing and pulling
You stink of whisky, reek like a lum that’s never been cleaned
Drag you down by your greasy unkempt hair
You gob on the ground like a teenager
Vile animal like sounds escape that gap you call your mouth
Track marks up and down your scrawny body
Festering scabs for the picking and you do
Dettol and a pan scrubber are what you need
Wending your way up the street, stagger this way and that
Stopping in doorways to...
Fucked in the head drugged to the eyeballs
Drunken wandering hands pushing and pulling
You stink of whisky, reek like a lum that’s never been cleaned
Drag you down by your greasy unkempt hair
You gob on the ground like a teenager

Track marks up and down your scrawny body

Time and again
I do it time and again, time and again
Always unavailable emotionally, physically
Connections in the strangest places
Feelings hurt, stomped on, used and abused
I do it time and again, time and again
Lessons learned but not put into practice
Kick me while I’m down, use me and discard me
Cum inside me, roll over, smoke your cigarette
I do it time and again, time and again
Will you help me pick up the pieces?
Stand on me and stub me out like a fag-end
Gag me then yell at me again!
I do it time and again, time and again.
Always unavailable emotionally, physically
Connections in the strangest places
Feelings hurt, stomped on, used and abused
I do it time and again, time and again
Lessons learned but not put into practice
Kick me while I’m down, use me and discard me
Cum inside me, roll over, smoke your cigarette
I do it time and again, time and again
Will you help me pick up the pieces?
Stand on me and stub me out like a fag-end
Gag me then yell at me again!
I do it time and again, time and again.

The Visit
He’s standing in his living room impatient she is expected any minute in her taxi from the airport. He’s been waiting for what seems like hours but she only called 20 minutes ago to say she had finally landed.
She steps out of the taxi she’s all dressed in black leather even down to her high-heeled boots that show just below the long coat. Her long hair is tied back tightly in a ponytail. Opening the front door he sees the taxi move off and watches her walk up the garden path towards him, he takes in her appearance and thinks about the divine shape he knows is hidden under the coat...

I tried
I tried to make it happy, started writing with intent
Connections in the brain, heart then fingertips spark
Darkness and violence sits just below the surface
Twisted words and meanings come to fruition
Death of the heart is hard to take
Connections in the brain, heart then fingertips spark
Darkness and violence sits just below the surface
Twisted words and meanings come to fruition
Death of the heart is hard to take

Love remembered
We had never met but share intimate memories
I loved him; still do if I’m truthful
We will never share skin on skin
Fuck till we fall asleep in each other’s arms
I cherish what we had and long for it again
I loved him; still do if I’m truthful
We will never share skin on skin
Fuck till we fall asleep in each other’s arms
I cherish what we had and long for it again
