POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Glass
A transparent boundary, like air,
But hurts all the same.

Indeed
Fuck you and all your ilk,
I shall now tell you this, and this for nothing (bar the time it takes you to read this piece).
When I stand upon the hilltop overlooking glassy glades of gloom,
Don’t expect me to return to the reflective ashes to burn myself once more.
Misunderstood by the communal masses,
I stand alone.

No Noise
No noise,
Other than the pale moonlight.
Nothing moves,
Obliterated by the night.
Inside,
Silence,
Everytime you sleep.
Other than the pale moonlight.
Nothing moves,
Obliterated by the night.
Inside,
Silence,
Everytime you sleep.

Confusion
So, she said, she wants a poem.
Words written to atone for my lack of romanticism,
Emotions expressed,
Read from the soul to assuage feelings of doubt that lie within.
My beloved, I think in anguish,
How can I heat up a dish which I feel is best served cold?
Or at least to be served with speed needs to endure this.
Don't fool lust with that of romance, or choose passion over trust.
To write of smooth skin,
Painted nails,
Savouring smells of seduction,
Breasts rising up heavy,
Lust - all consuming, seemingly passionate - lust,
Sweat...

Winterblues
Hibernation of the mind,
Progression of the soul,
Internal retrospection,
In the task to make me whole.

Cold air
Serenity in the city,
Jungle peace at night,
A cat amongst the pigeons,
Giving awful fright.
Shadows splayed quite clearly,
Veins upon the Earth,
Breathing in quite deeply,
Releasing all the hurt.

Threes
Each tragedy hammered home,
Splits the resolve to pieces,
Showing her fragile network of
connectivity,
Job security, parental support and a woman to love,
Snatched away in a turbulent cycle of destruction,
A certain sphere of influence reigns supreme,
Sending her reverbrations through all aspects of being,
Clinging spectres of doom are shaken free,
Shackles of responsibility loosened,
How lucky can one be?
Heartache caused,
Will not be forgotten,
Matters of gravity,
Not trivialised,
But Alchemy deployed to turn Iron into Gold,...

And still I love you
Another day goes by
Nobody knows why I still care
Do you?
Something told me you weren’t right.
That didn’t matter,
It made me feel good.
Like a blue sky on a sunny day,
Like you.
I t hurts.
Loving you even now.
Opening my eyes I think of you,
Very nearly every breath I think of you,
Even now.
You’re in my blood
On my mind
Under my skin.

On – Off- On – Off
Flickering all night,
The broken neon bulb,
Transcends the sultry night.
Whilst I sit there and contemplate, "what is right?"
In my dreams of madness, I mix sarcasm with spite.
