Poet Introduction
I started writing poetry at 11, and only ever stop when the depth of life drown me, but the words live in secret inside me

My soul of carbon paper
My soul of carbon paper.
All the words in my book of life shows a scar,
Splendidly scratched into my fragile essence.
Bits and pieces, like dust,
Lost in the winds of time, so
Some of this essence stayed behind,
And the etching it made in the fibre itself,
A memory.

Shadow
You moved on
You met someone new
Who knows how long this has been for you
You made it known
A month to the day of
Our death
I know Okay, I know
No need to be so gentle with me
I know our love was not meant to be
My love
Was not meant to be
Who knows what you felt
I am still begging here
Begging it all to end
Begging myself to just let go
I cant
I never knew this before
I love forever
So happiness should be yours
I want that for you
To laugh, to live, to love
It isn’t your fault that
I...

New beginnings
I wish I was sandstone that could wither away
As the wave breaks so do I
Until finally nothing at all will remain
I wish I was wood and the world ablaze
Every flame that licks me... until I am
Forgotten and wasted to powdery ash
I wish I was paper, clean and new
A blank slate of new beginnings
Just for me and you.
As the wave breaks so do I
Until finally nothing at all will remain
I wish I was wood and the world ablaze
Every flame that licks me... until I am
Forgotten and wasted to powdery ash
I wish I was paper, clean and new
A blank slate of new beginnings
Just for me and you.

Let it pass
I calmly sit, I talk and laugh, you catch my eye
You know better, I am dead and you know it.
You whisper and ask, I smile and I lie
You nod and grimace, you let it pass
I cook and I clean, you visit and see
You look in my eyes and say: “you’re getting skinny”
I smile and I laugh “thanks I mean to”
You purse your lips but you let it pass
You tell me of your pain and I feel I can say
I understand, you look and your hurt reflects
You hug me and say, I know you do
You hold me and we let it pass
I sit and I work, unable to breathe...
You know better, I am dead and you know it.
You whisper and ask, I smile and I lie
You nod and grimace, you let it pass
I cook and I clean, you visit and see
You look in my eyes and say: “you’re getting skinny”
I smile and I laugh “thanks I mean to”
You purse your lips but you let it pass
You tell me of your pain and I feel I can say
I understand, you look and your hurt reflects
You hug me and say, I know you do
You hold me and we let it pass
I sit and I work, unable to breathe...

Choking
Your silence destroys me, your casual drive by’s haunt me
Altogether you seem so calm, and inside myself I’m screaming
blood drips from my heart and it fills me
the hand on my throat keeps closing
I can’t move and I can’t speak, you keep walking away
Nothing I do can change it, I am about to die
You turn away smiling, and my heart implodes
No more I beg you, no more, please stay
I never knew before. I didn’t know...
I felt you inside me and it was home
You turned and ripped it out and its gone
I walk, I work, I talk, I breathe. But baby. I...

Before I knew it
A fire burned inside my soul, one no one could see
You felt the fire blazing, you fuelled it within me
You let it burn, bright and free, until it consumed all it touched
It burned so bright it burned so wild... and before I knew it, everything was ash
You felt the fire blazing, you fuelled it within me
You let it burn, bright and free, until it consumed all it touched
It burned so bright it burned so wild... and before I knew it, everything was ash

Thank you
I went there again
And surprised you,
That my joy of small
And insignificant things
Captivates you
Surprises me.
Realization strikes;
This is us, who we were,
And ever shall be.
As different and crazy
As we are,
We'll still amaze and surprise
One another at sixty.
If this isn't love, if this isn't true,
I'd still rather spend my life with you.
And surprised you,
That my joy of small
And insignificant things
Captivates you
Surprises me.
Realization strikes;
This is us, who we were,
And ever shall be.
As different and crazy
As we are,
We'll still amaze and surprise
One another at sixty.
If this isn't love, if this isn't true,
I'd still rather spend my life with you.

Bliss
Some people see so little,
And others far too much
But ignorance is bliss you see,
You can't break it without touch.
Your perfect love and perfect life
An echo of existence,
You need to see the world,
You need to add some substance.
So happy as you are,
I believe I have more peace,
If ignorance bring bliss to thee,
The truth is same to me
And others far too much
But ignorance is bliss you see,
You can't break it without touch.
Your perfect love and perfect life
An echo of existence,
You need to see the world,
You need to add some substance.
So happy as you are,
I believe I have more peace,
If ignorance bring bliss to thee,
The truth is same to me

Send me to hell
I fucked up again.
Good and well.
You hate me enough
To send me to hell.
I beg and I plead
And you never listen
To busy as always
In your life of precision.
I cook and I clean,
I work for a living,
I stand by your side
Through thick and thin.
But I fucked up again,
I have no class
Because this fucking bitch
Has broken a glass.
Good and well.

I'm okay, I am, I am
Life goes on I always say,
I suck it up,
I deal
Everyday.
I smile and laugh,
I talk and listen
I hand out gifts on every birthday,
I rock up
When you christen
Your children
I bake when your mother dies
I make you dinner
When I know your life's falling apart
I cover your lies and mend your heart
Because I'm strong, I survive, I am
The shoulder you cry on,
The one you depend on.
I'm good, I'm okay, I am, I am
I'm a survivor, a soldier,
Your pillar of strength,
Because life goes on I always say.
I suck it up,
I deal
Everyday.
I smile and laugh,
I talk and listen
I hand out gifts on every birthday,
I rock up
When you christen
Your children
I bake when your mother dies
I make you dinner
When I know your life's falling apart
I cover your lies and mend your heart
Because I'm strong, I survive, I am
The shoulder you cry on,
The one you depend on.
I'm good, I'm okay, I am, I am
I'm a survivor, a soldier,
Your pillar of strength,
Because life goes on I always say.

Dear Dad
Selfish heart, deceitful witch.
Standing alone - emotionless bitch.
Speechless I'm left after sighting this sin,
For it was I creating this din.
I'm the ghost in nightmare hauntings,
I'm the song the banshee sings.
The werewolf's dripping saliva is I.
I'm the blood the vampire drinks.
I'm the sound of a gurgling sigh,
I'm the ship that sinks.
The dire promise of death,
The sharp intake of breath.
The tears of pain and heartache,
The fear of a final break.
It's me. I'm the one.
The thing that angels shun.
What am I but...
Standing alone - emotionless bitch.
Speechless I'm left after sighting this sin,
For it was I creating this din.
I'm the ghost in nightmare hauntings,
I'm the song the banshee sings.
The werewolf's dripping saliva is I.
I'm the blood the vampire drinks.
I'm the sound of a gurgling sigh,
I'm the ship that sinks.
The dire promise of death,
The sharp intake of breath.
The tears of pain and heartache,
The fear of a final break.
It's me. I'm the one.
The thing that angels shun.
What am I but...

Flame
Pitchblack twirls reap my soul,
Gusts of black transforms to smoke,
Wantonly dancing to solemn silence,
Leaping like magic, a supple stroke
of willowy grace.
Gusts of black transforms to smoke,
Wantonly dancing to solemn silence,
Leaping like magic, a supple stroke
of willowy grace.
