POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
the decay of society in real time
5yearS
Press a kiss against the tears
Slows the ink on porcelain
Salty black the taste on lips
Dark veins twisting on the skin
A departing shadow fading out
Photocopy glare of light
Blink away the after image
Escaping out into the night
Caustic diamonds to be shared
Corroding all those silver rings
Weeping poison on a pillow
Dreaming dreams of better things
This departing shadow fragments
While dark confetti takes years to fall
Dreamers woke to bleach the sheets
Like no tears were shed at all
Slows the ink on porcelain
Salty black the taste on lips
Dark veins twisting on the skin
A departing shadow fading out
Photocopy glare of light
Blink away the after image
Escaping out into the night
Caustic diamonds to be shared
Corroding all those silver rings
Weeping poison on a pillow
Dreaming dreams of better things
This departing shadow fragments
While dark confetti takes years to fall
Dreamers woke to bleach the sheets
Like no tears were shed at all

I was met with a lie
The lie of a non-reply
The lie of agendas that only imply
A rhyme and a reason that will benefit my
Existence here
And my resistance will only promote fear
Yet somehow you come across so insincere
Your insistence is so unclear
In your debates
Where your dialogue no longer relates
To the back log of individuals that interrelates
Promoting a society that no longer hates
Out of touch yet ingratiates
Yourself to the one percent
Sold us out we are up for rent
Fold us shout this letters sent ...

collateral INSECURITY
Innocent children caught in the crossfire
While powers that be expand their personal empire
Shedding another media contrived tear
Who are the real beneficiaries of fear?
Promoting ignorance in a twisted debate
Using tragedy to flame ideologies of hate
Displaying more weapons to calm our fear
The politician’s rhetoric now even less sincere
Shaking hands with other evil men
Passing legislation with a stroke of a pen
Robs us our basic human rights
Distracted by the never-ending fights
Selling weapons and selling lies ...

disMAY
My name is Teresa May
And if successful in my campaign
Will sell off more NHS assets
To pay for my champagne
When challenged by the media
I am as timid as a mouse
So, I prey on vulnerable pensioners
Yep, I`m sizing up your grans house
And when I have sold that
I will pinch your kids school dinner
Give them a slice of toast instead
Under my policies everyone’s a winner
(Well maybe just the top one percent)
Don’t ask for a straight answer
I love to waffle in my interviews
I like to say the word...

Amen breaks now say your prayers
Transitioning beats on the ghost snares
Clownstep erratic the bass misbehaving
Shattering the ground like crazy paving
Tough guys don’t dance here boys
Sub bass freq threatens brown noise
That fills your pants with liquid funk
Shuffle from the dancefloor like you`re drunk
Tough guys always chasing status
Guess their smiles are on hiatus
The meth crazed chicks are scantily clad
Those sic break beats are breaking bad
This tune has got me in its thrall
So, hold your colours against...

Images distorted by the rain
Recollections beyond the pane
Clouds are bursting in my mind
Wash away what’s left behind
Rivulets vanish in the gutter
Join rivers, long to re-discover
Diluting in cold midnight sea
Submerged becomes a mystery
Messages in a bottle smash
Caught in flotsam jetsam trash
Washed upon a distant shore
Are so easy to ignore
Ink upon the pages bleed
Words subjective now mislead
Deciphering meanings, must refrain
Recollections just cause pain
Addicted to this trespass ...

Today I went to the college
I go there seeking knowledge
Concepts I need to ascertain
Positive ideology I feed my brain
Cracking books to educate-
myself before it’s too late
Regurgitating most of this learning
Repetition may be the turning-
point I try to make
Behaving kind of fake
To fit into the classes
Like music for the masses
Except I became a pariah
For not being a liar
Honesty is a dirty word-
and education is absurd
New wave entitled attitude
Funny I was never that rude ...

Every other line is a covert swipe
Run through a filter to antagonise
With every new line, I begin to realise
Unfortunately, I recognise the type
Shaping narrative begins to tell
A politician spewing toxic subterfuge
Poisoning this likeminded refuge
Ensuring we all suffer well
That arrogant syntax provokes
Designed to make us the fool
In your court its always cruel
King of edits and keyboard strokes
Shares each derisive sardonic word
You have nothing else to share
Without it you`re not even there
I`m...

So you are looking at those pictures
The memories I tried hard to erase
Images bathed in sickening neon
Had to delete that smiling face
You said you remember times
The drug picnics and sweaty sex
Eyes locked on dry ice dance floor
Comatose and Sunday wrecks
White lines and pushing boundaries
Kissing all those girls and boys
White lines lead off the highway
They were supposed to be our fucktoys
Chems start to erode the heart
Embraced a mutual apathy
My sentimental syntax now defaced
Now mocking words,...

Hate is acceptable when its saccharine
Hate is another tedious covert line
Hate is a self-indulgent circle jerk
Hate is a prick behind the keyboard with a smirk
Hate is the person who stirs the shit
Hate is censorship of the explicit
Hate is misinterpreting the flow
Hate is an exclusive secret handshake yo!
Hate is becoming a mountain of turds
Hate is a lockdown of honest words
Hate is the purple ring I should have kissed
Hate is an internet smack on the wrist
Hate feeds the trolls lacking empathy
Hate feeds...

FRIENDshit
Stumble along a shattered road half blind
Faces become shadows then slowly depart
Regrets are jagged on the trail behind
Discarded fragments of a porcelain heart
Cannot bind these regrets with a suture
The trail of fragments guiding me back
Into the past discarding the future
Shadows paint the porcelain black
Gather up each broken shard
Amongst shadow faces I once kissed
Fragile yet so cold and hard
Glued together in a bloody fist
The horizon is further than I can see
The shadows depart then I am alone ...
Faces become shadows then slowly depart
Regrets are jagged on the trail behind
Discarded fragments of a porcelain heart
Cannot bind these regrets with a suture
The trail of fragments guiding me back

Gather up each broken shard
Amongst shadow faces I once kissed
Fragile yet so cold and hard
Glued together in a bloody fist
The horizon is further than I can see

Dermaphoria
Her name is Desiree
Perhaps, though maybe I forgot
Before I saw the fireflies
Fed the coin into the slot
You dance behind the glass
With a pill upon the tongue
Sends chemical pricks of emotion
Like every love song sung
Black widows, double drop
Take me back to before
When Satan was the angel
Who just asked for more
The nightmare cockroaches scuttle
Their Giger antenna will betray
My thoughts and silent whispers
And every word that I say
The Feds are all just robots
Cheap suits disguise...
