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.

Missing
We have no idea where she could be
Hunted the woods, garbage and dragged the rivers
Up and down the dirty filth ridden streets
Been down the tube today, thought we saw her
Fleeting vision on the platform over too quickly
Did she wander too close to the yellow line?
Go over in one swift push or was there that pull of the tracks!
We have no idea where she could be
On a bridge now, staring into the swirling dank water
Been where she wouldn’t go, been where she would
Invisibility in this city is a sin a not a blessing
Hunted the woods, garbage and dragged the rivers
Up and down the dirty filth ridden streets
Been down the tube today, thought we saw her
Fleeting vision on the platform over too quickly
Did she wander too close to the yellow line?
Go over in one swift push or was there that pull of the tracks!
We have no idea where she could be
On a bridge now, staring into the swirling dank water
Been where she wouldn’t go, been where she would
Invisibility in this city is a sin a not a blessing

Two & Two make! (Incomplete)
Sat alone on the sofa, music playing on the laptop sound down low
I hear a grunt then a thud on the bedroom floor above
Footsteps batter down the stairs
Your voice loud, violent and accusing is heard
Launching into my view through the doorway
I see you’re angry, ranting, foaming at the mouth, spitting obscenities
Dreaming is the problem, my problem to answer it seems
Screaming at me, spittle hitting me in the face
AFFAIR, the words stabbing at me, angry hands grab me from my seat
Desolation licks gently at my wounds, ready to swallow me
Laptop...

Don’t you get it
Yesterday you fucked with my head
Only time will tell if it worked
Under the dark thunderous sky
Knowing all that I know
Never will I forget
Once we were lovers
When will we be again
Why do I wish this
How many years will go by
One, two, ten!
I am a the ultimate fool
Ambling down the same road
Mind over what never matters
Only time will tell if it worked
Under the dark thunderous sky
Knowing all that I know
Never will I forget
Once we were lovers
When will we be again
Why do I wish this
How many years will go by
One, two, ten!
I am a the ultimate fool
Ambling down the same road
Mind over what never matters

Giving is the gift
Give me your hand
Don’t worry about the stains
Give me your heart I won’t stomp on it
Well not much!
Give me the bandages
I fear it may be way too late
Give me your pain your sorrow
I will trash your remaining memories
Would you like that?
Open yourself up completely to me
Trust me then let me destroy you
Take my time stripping your emotions inch by inch
Give me your all and I give you what you deserve
Don’t worry about the stains
Give me your heart I won’t stomp on it
Well not much!
Give me the bandages
I fear it may be way too late
Give me your pain your sorrow
I will trash your remaining memories
Would you like that?
Open yourself up completely to me
Trust me then let me destroy you
Take my time stripping your emotions inch by inch
Give me your all and I give you what you deserve

Broken
He broke my nose, bloodied it spread like jam on softly buttered toast
Sat on a tube trying to hide tears from a carriage full of sad lonely bodies
Dirty shoes stare back, suede wet from blood splatters mixed with rain
Couples standing close almost merging into one unperfected person
Straying hand pull punches a kick to move you on hits its mark
A dripping puss filled void where once the heart did beat
Heat chokes, coughs spreading from person to person like a yawn
Fuckwits staring, brooding, emotive bastards I think to myself
Leaning forward sets...

Twisted memories
Recollections, hear, see, taste, all senses screaming FUCK YOU!
Legs open, wet stains running from her cunt, duvet tossed aside forgotten
Painted toenails and cum assorted smells fermenting in the air,
Stale milk left spilt on the countertop, abandoned cups on their side.
Oppressive gloom descends wrapping her every fibre
Cigarette ash scattering likes dust in the wind, coating all where it lands
Rolling over stains on bed sheets she buries her head in the ripped pillow
Tear stained face, swollen eyes and lips, gripping the pillow
Suffocating, dying slowly...

I float, I collect and I carry,
Find me crumpled in a drawer, Discarded on the floor,
Waste bin liner Dog shit receptacle, dump me in the trash
Blowing down the lonely lane, stuck on a taxi aerial
Washing down the Thames sporting an old Tennent’s can
Ripped, torn and abandoned no further use
Find me crumpled in a drawer, Discarded on the floor,
Waste bin liner Dog shit receptacle, dump me in the trash
Blowing down the lonely lane, stuck on a taxi aerial
Washing down the Thames sporting an old Tennent’s can
Ripped, torn and abandoned no further use
