POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
The Poem
Take up your instrument of choice
Pencil, pen or quill
Empower it with a medley of emotions
And sight that passed this fading day
Cast the first word
Tasters of greatest love or regret
Sights that were seen
Story of tears and laughter flow out
A word to encompass a new feeling
What was said, was it meant
Step into verse
With fluidity sketch out the mood
Don't slow or falter
No distractions for the time being
Take what is stored in trembling brow
Give it the meaning searched for
Write it with pain
...

Inside my head
Everything’s thought, but not everything’s said
There’s a world of words needing to recite
Friends and strangers invited in my head
Will they find in there joy, terror and fright
Laugh without reason, cry in an instant
Not everything can I understand
Not for the faint hearted, or for the infant
In that strange, changing, turmoil filled land
I’ll take a journey on a weird angle
To a destination I’ve never been
Theories invoked, leaving all to dangle
Reciting stories that no on has seen
So come to my world of love and...

Love me
Spoken Sung
Twisted dreams.
Inside your head.
Another stranger.
In your bed.
Until the rising of the sun.
You wake alone and find him gone.
Tell me all the lies I have to hear.
Give me all the pain that I can bear.
Vent your lust and make me scream.
Take...me...please.
With the dusk.
You search again.
One more man.
Who won’t remain.
Another shell to help you through.
Is this something you must do.
No more lies I want to have you near.

My Window
Trees bend gently in the breeze
Two lovers walk hand in hand
I sit here in solitary thought and watch
The remnant of a land mine
Body broken and damaged
What limbs aren't missing
Are now rendered useless
So
I sit here by my window
And watch the world go by
From my viewpoint I see
Trees bend gently in the breeze
Two lovers walk hand in hand
Two lovers walk hand in hand
I sit here in solitary thought and watch
The remnant of a land mine
Body broken and damaged
What limbs aren't missing
Are now rendered useless
So
I sit here by my window
And watch the world go by
From my viewpoint I see
Trees bend gently in the breeze
Two lovers walk hand in hand

The Pact
For Two voices Smooth and Gutteral
Can you see me
I’m on the edge of time
You can’t fool me
Cuz I can read your mind
Will you follow
Or be left behind
Like all the rest
Heard you call
In the night
Came to help
To make it right
Come along
There’s only been one fee
I give to you
Then you will give to me
I can free you
From the ghosts inside your head
I can save you
From the demons in your bed
I can give you
Every thing you want
Not what you need
I don’t cheat
I don’t...

Poor Hemi
So he fucked all the women
He fucked all the men
Is he taking a rest
Before he comes round again
So he’s had his pleasure
And a little sin
I’m so disappointed
Never noticed a thing
So lock up your sex toys
lock up your pups
Poor old hemi
Must be so fucked up.

Song?
This is the first word
Of the very first verse
Keep on listening
It gets more perverse
Cuz I’m now singing
The rhymes gone astray
A song for people
With nothing to say
Raise your hands to the sky
The chorus is here
Just a few rubbish words
I made them fit here
Join in if you want
Sure that’s ok
Make up your own words
I do any way
Then comes the next verse
Got to keep it in time
They are now waiting
For the very next rhyme
Cuz I’m now jumping
All over the place
No body here can
Keep up with...

iLove
Will you hold me
When I’m feeling down
Will you hold me
When I’m high
Make me laugh
During the day
Make love
When the moon is high
Give me your heart
Is all I ask
Can you do just that
He looked at her
Frowned and said
“Is there an app for that?”

Sunset
I stand at the back door
heavily drawing on a cigarette
Watching with watery eyes
As the winter sun gently kissed the horizon
And I want to to know why
Why a normal discussion
Turned into a raging argument
Why the venomous words spilled
From both our mouths
Why had we drifted so far apart
The sun has dropped below the horizon
Leaving just a pale blue band in the sky
A small cloud drifts into view
It's edges tinted pink from the leaving sun
Slowly it drifts away in silence
Silence filled...

Dad
My dad he used to hit me
When he'd had a drink
Half the time I don't know why
No matter what you think
Black eyes and bruises was my life
It was the only thing I'd known
But slowly as the years passed by
I realised I had grown
Then it came the fateful day
I stood and held my ground
I knew then I could have killed him
But luckily he backed down
Shortly after I left home
And turned another page
He had to find another target
To vent his growing rage
But one by one my brothers stood
And faced the angry man...

Dear brother
They sent you, to that hot dusty land.
Where you must be, a peace keeping man.
Patrolling over, sharp rocks and sand.
To be killed by a cowardly, foreign hand.
I wept for weeks, both night and day.
Listening to what, the councillors say.
Wanted to fight, to make them pay.
Then realised, there's a better way.
The first few I sent, were a bit of a mess.
Tore their skin, as well as their dress.
But I've refined my art, getting better I guess.
The ones I send now, are all unharmed and fresh.
I know you so well, I know what's your...

Falling down
You'll never understand
The way I feel about you
I could never let you know
And now I realise
That I must live without you
Does my pain even show
Every time I try to speak
My tongue gets in the way
Feeling like a fool
For the stupid things I say
I wish the ground would open
And swallow me away
I'm Falling down...again
Falling down...again
I think about you
Every single day
Girl you're always on my mind
And when I close my eyes
Your images I see
I dream about you all the time
Do...
