POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
poetry makes me fucking pretty
Coastal Melaleuca
Wandering the tranquil coastline forest
a secret sanctuary, sheltered by dunes
isolated by freshwater billabongs, I gaze
into enchanting tangled blue reflections
suspended in black tannin backwaters
twisted roots snare limbs and torsos
of lost lovers that carelessly ventured
beyond the safety of the sandy shores
Melaleuca, humble tree of hidden truth
sweet fragrant leaves heal my wounds
paper bark peels from crooked trunks
versatile fabric to her keeper’s customs ...

Like A DOG
She is vengeance from remission
infecting me with her words
coursing through vessels
and convulsing nerves
polluting my mind
with her disease
she is intoxicating
anxious breath
drawn behind closed doors
rattling my demeanour
kissing the dragon
of my obsession
she disconnects me
severing my cord
discarding promises
like broken matchsticks
again I succumb to the haunting
unravelling spoils from her gift
powerless to the pendulum
I swing from every offering
and fuck...

Raw
I like it raw
high gloss overrun
with her saliva.
There’ll be nothing
lingering between us
except for a film of her lush
viscous
Gewurz-tram-in-er.
I observe
from beneath her flesh
poised
perfectly pointed jaw
mute gasp as she
slips
it
in
her mouth.
Delectable Sashimi slam-mer
tantalising Nori-ng headlock.
Whores d‘oeuvre Carpaccio
cures my bitter-salt vein.
Punching the raw carcass
breaking my bones
healing her butcher
with...

Cut Her
Tortured image
beautiful pain
I agonise with acceptance of her
compulsion
to please her cutter
cutting her
cutting me.
Cradled
in the arms of her killer
a child eclipsed
tainted eyes
innocent witness of her lust for peril.
As Moses was bound to his people
the chosen one
to free the slaves…
If only I could cut her
free.

The Unleashing
A blob of ink.
I have marked this perfectly white sheet of paper
So now I must begin.
A single absent thought suspended in space
I cannot keep my eyes open and
I can't keep my mind focused on my feelings
They are too distant
Too s c a t t e r e d
I cannot translate my thoughts
I am thinking in another language and
I am beginning to slur
I start to fall asleep.

The Canonized Nightmares of a Life Once Too Gruesome to Bear
To whom that awaits in the shadows,
Goodnight.
I can no longer harbour your anger,
I do not wish to inflict your burden upon others.
There shall be no more horrors,
No more pain;
The madness must cease.
A great sleep awaits this wretched soul.
Wash away my demons in these tears,
Cast away like forgotten grains of sand,
Swept aloft and buried by the winds.
I do not want forgiveness,
I want peace.
Goodnight.

I do not wish to inflict your burden upon others.
There shall be no more horrors,
No more pain;

A great sleep awaits this wretched soul.
Wash away my demons in these tears,
Cast away like forgotten grains of sand,
Swept aloft and buried by the winds.
I do not want forgiveness,
I want peace.
