The Rowan Tree.
Auld lang syne
ye wir as close as the hertbeat e mine.
you and me
we are bit twa twigs oan a burn
floatin awa tae the great oceans churn.
we met as we did faw fae the tree
alane, we foond thegither, we wir strong
-an honest remedie.
ye wir nivir far fae me.
bit then aw gaes dreich
an fae thaire the scene wen' bleich.
fer the rains stairt tae faw fae the lift
an ah became loast in the wa'er, gey adrift.
Ma drookit sel poued me doon
ma ainly thocht wis ,ayont aw this ah'd see ye soon.

Poetry will never die,just evolve.
It always amazes me.Just when I'm feeling like poetry has become cliche,tired and irrelevant, someone comes along to show possibilities and new directions in the art.There's so many uses and possibilites that it will never be exhausted even if at times it will feel difficult to find somewhere new to take it.
In other news,my poems which seem to generate most interest are on sex,love and unhappiness.

Trying to meet someone.

...Bit ye didnae let me.
So noo ah'll drink it aw up

Ye've moved oan fae me
Ye've moved oan fae me
ah suppose ah should think it guid tae see

Ah've met ither girls far an since

wha kin make me beamer ,bit no laugh.
Ken it's a hard joab findin...

When My muse comes to me.
There was I
incomplete, a shadow, a glass half empty.
my muse appeared naked and wild unexpectedly.
Red hot with lust,she enticed and entranced me.
Suggestive glances drew my playful tender touch.
She danced and dazzled to the pulse of my desire.
she sucked the surge of my seconds,
I stroked and aroused her elements.
We didn't know what we were doing,
just experimenting with the moment.
Together we were entangled and embraced.Fused.
A lifting,a soaring,wholesome.Undivided.
I ejaculated expression.Orgasmic release.
The sounds of myself became...

My muse has left me
Inspired by Rimbaud and baudelaire.
***
My muse has left me.
Alone,aroused and unfulfilled.
The embers of Promethean idea remain aglow.
My wrist is frustrated
with empty passion.
The brooding of unfertilised spermazoa-
potentiate and stagnate.
creation impatiently girds in my loins .
Expectations of intercourse with my muse
consume me like the worms on moist soil of dead husks
drying out and eviscerating from inside.
Listless self absorbed misery
sickly and withered
Amputated from life.
The vacuous escape of self...

The Untimely death of Sorrow.
Don't believe everything you're told
I killed her.
Pushed from the bridge to a watery burial beneath
-She was Sorrow.
The owl in the forest is mocking me.
The cat on the stairs takes delicious delight in my plight, in knowing what I did.
I fight a knife fight with Regret.
It's red ooze signals victory.
I have triumped over Sorrow.
Alas the friends of Sorrow misunderstood.
Newspapers told of a body pulled from the river.
I toasted to the last we'd see of her
while black car procession took to the streets.
How they ridicule me!...

maleficience
shaking shivering like a resurrection corpse
a decaying willow tree
climb the spiral staircase
torn dress slipped out
sucking naively the breast of idealism
golden glint mythical ship
what does it all mean
ushering to the aborted promises
sandwhiched into salmonella
the seven heads feeding
trying to return prematurely to the wombed catacombs
despondency mortal
wish to fly
throwning self from bridges
riverbed skeletal mass
cardboard triumphs
soiled by the secretions of seraphim sycophants
you smell bad...

The world in which I live.
I used to think it was necessary to figure the world out and as a small niche of that,my life.Worse still,I believed it was possible given enough thought .I then went through a stage of believing I had pretty much done both of those.Subsequently following that,I went through a heavy period of disillusionment both with thinking I had figured out my life and the world.I realized the answers to questions in society were false or only partial ones and would require vastly more experience,thought and learning to even approach.In my life I trimmed down the tree of my expectations and...
