POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
My writings are all about real life events ... Like pieces out of my diary ... Has taken me some courage to share but happy I am :)
Escaping capture ....
Grotesque warped ugliness
Fed his soul
Confused noise in his head
Followed
Parasites swallowed
An expression of disgust and pain
Made him excited
The more frightened
The more he was delighted
As he preyed upon delicate material
He lunged forward with rage
Almost chemical
His crystalline eyes
Animal
His remorse
Ever so fleeting
He lives for
His own breathing
His odour crude and offensive
Repulses and impulses
Squeezed together
His enthusiasm....

Fleeting breathlessness
Hello
Can you see me
I'm the one with hurried impatience
The lady in view
You notice , some place
And when you see her again
You remember her face
For I had those vacant dark eyes
When you looked deep within them
You felt criminalised
Arrested your thoughts
I captured your senses
Then walked away without
Even realising
That I had shook you
Crippled your core
Left you standing there
Wanting to capture
Just a little more
As you watch the back of me
i sashayed away ...

Dying day
He is lying there
His last days are dawning
Time flys
It's almost a new morning
His eyes have dried
He can't can't cry no more
His healthy body
And healthy mind
Are being taken
To short a time
He's not sure how he got where he did
And he's riddled with illness
No immunity to it
He watches his loved ones go through the motion
Their counting his days
As he watches them closing
He sees their tired
Recognises the strain
He is helpless
In regards of their pain
He looks at...

Dear me at 13
Dear me "at 13!!
Come on little broken girl
Pick up your feet
Try to forget the things that you've seen
Don't swallow cheap wine
It won't hold it at bay
Oh my dear girl You will find a way.
The salt on your tongue So bitter it's sweet
Try to imagine all the beautiful people your heart will meet.
I can see you falling
But there's something I need to say
Don't swirl with the spiral
There is another way
I can see it there deep in your eyes
But the temptation will only bring your demise
Think of it this way, you'll be no better than...

Tears fall and falter her face
Her lips soft and wet from the embrace
She no longer needs this pain
But she keeps it inside just incase
Her fingers tingle the pain won't subside , she has no where else to hide ...
She wraps herself inside her skin
Thinking that it will protect within
She sobs so hard her chest is on fire
She screams inside, it's killed her desire...
She knows she is trapped
Her past her living hell
But who else really cares
There's no one she can tell...
She stumbles with the photos of past clutched...

Twisting simplicity
TWISTING SIMPLICITY
Colourful the way
The tracks intertwine
The vibrance
Twists
The tracks winds
The words of old settlement
Simply placed
quite beautiful
Like a scroll in the sky
It changes the sentiment
The trees even though harsh
Sit softly in a line
The simplest beauty
Shades the shot so divine
The tracks bend endless
The possibilities .......
The hills in the earth
Capture me instantly
Although the landscapes clearly dry
It feels like water fills the space
And...

Unconscious being
A mediocre response
To an unconscious beginning
Tranquility swapped
For a more cynical way of living
Pounced on the decision
With evocative caprice
Caution to the wind
And did it with ease
Threw at it
balls of pungent device
And didn't look to the head
And all you were to sacrifice
Captured the essence
Of illusion and quiescent
And forgot about the distance
Between the climb and descent
The ugly that lived there
Was no body's home
Till you thought you'd take it
A crown you could own ...

Haunting melodies
Haunting melodies
I'm haunted by this soft melody
Because it holds so many memories
The piano pulls at my heart strings
And tears fall as the lady starts to sing
Her words are heaviness on my chest
The tone in her voice
Brings me under duress
And as her voice rises and falls
I crumple to my knees
I'm on the floor
I sit in silence, silently listening
The tears in my begin glistening
Just as she hits the chorus
Where my favourite part begins
I'm taken back to a time

Salty breeze
Salty breeze
Summer seas
A couple standing hand in hand
Children sun kissed
The ocean swells twist
All with the salty breeze
Pines of oak
Pines of wood
The smell of earth lay bare
And the salty breeze combined with these trees
To make a perfume
That's floating through the air
Healthy living
An opportunity given
I feel it on my skin
And all the beauty
Relishes though me
As I walk and play through it
I live at ease
In the salty breeze
There's no where else is rather be x

What it is to be me ..... A victim? A bully ?
What it is to be me .....a victim ? Or bully.... ?
There's this solid little boy
He's picking at scabs on his knees
His head shaved to a number one
And his school shirt has ripped sleeves
He's sitting in the school yard
It's a freezing winter morning
He has no jumper
The chilly start
A mere warning
His mother didn't come home last night
His breakfast non existent
He puts himself in a day dream
Of sweets , jam and bread
And scratches the sores the lice left
Before he hastily shaved them out of his head...

Rusty little girl ....
I can see a little girl
Swinging slowly on a rusty swing
She kicks her legs out
And kicks them back in
Her knees are covered in dirt
And her pigtails hold the ringlets in her hair
Her little dress of flowers and lace
cute little freckles cover her little nose and face
I'm staring at this little girl
Wondering where I've seen her before
And I'm struck by the feeling
Of familiarity once more
She's looking to the distance
Her little eyes looking to the sky
And the sadness etched on her face makes me want to cry

Your battle my army.... Your judgment my scars
YOUR BATTLE
MY ARMY......
YOUR JUDGMENT
MY SCARS.....
Perfect !!!!
I am not
But then I think you must have forgot
Calm and cautious
They visit me often
I am fuelled with fight
Damaged but not rotten
Bring me your army
Your weapons
Your troops
And one at a time I'll stand up to you
I'll fight from my knees if I have to ....
I've fought before whilst injured
I've come from behind and won
And if you come at me
come at me quickly
And if you hit me
Really hit me
Because...
