POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
f**k philosophy - part 1
my thoughtless mind left to its own devices
forgets the suggestion of souls,
no cartesian brain to think twice,
to invent teleological goals.
i'm drifting -
my mind is drifting to unknown planes,
too many unthought theories
that everything needs to be explained.
i'd rather forget knowledge and fact,
just paint my own picture of the world,
to forget reason, ontological reason,
just living through stories to tell.

spring
i'm emerging from the darkness of a long lost night,
given up something to find,
nothing to find so nothing to lose
so nothing to think say do.
i was boxed up lost in the dark
like a little boy lost his heart
so with less thinking there's more to feel,
hearts bruise but livers heal.
it's dkdc, less thinking
and i want to do some blue sky drinking,
with the sun reborn in a sudden spring
long dark and dead is the winter.
i'm a caterpillar larva cocoon
hibernating and waiting for you,
a butterfly flutters like flutter-by...

third floor window
sitting watching the squirrels
tormenting the next door neighbour's cat,
read a bit more of xenephon
march into persia then march back,
dream of a day much nearer now
where i just get up and go,
wake up and get the fuck away
from this place that ain't my home.
look far and wide, search low and high,
never really stop to find,
constant knowledge, constant change
working to stretch out time.

an andante life
nowhere to go
somewhere i'm heading
drift on the flow
reach for a zenith
no shit beside me
nothing above
memories behind me
stories lacking love
endless walking
looking ahead
no more talking
the things i said
do just do
stimulate
no time to lose
unhesitate
find a life
find a muse
fly a kite
speak the truth
contented peace
capacity soul
breathing deep
growing old
zigging zagging
spending time
dying happy
lived a life.

hove seafront (4am)
walking home, another late one.
check my phone, i hear from no one.
and my mind travels to nowhere,
a faraway place.
and my thoughts - a one way ticket
to a place beyond the stars,
i feel my heart
tear the seams apart.
walking- then i stop, i look to the distance.
plagued by one thought, i wish that i'd kissed her.
then i'm singing at the top of my voice.
a sodium spotlightshines my face.
no idea of time, i just want to sing to you.
it's getting light, i see no sign of you.

til next time
my bleeding heart has clotted,
the flowing pain has stopped,
my new found love has plugged my holes
and i'm alive.
how fast an angel's wings
can heal my small little wounds,
i'm cured, i'm in the clear
til next time.

take a deep breath...
sometimes when i sit in whisky/leonard cohen driven
melancholy i think of inspiration and conglomeration of
a fictional girl that rocks my world, that makes me
get out of bed everyday, that makes me smile, that i
could fuck the world and everyone in it just to be
with her always, my inspiration, the only story i need
to know so fuck books.
do you feel like that?

loose ties
lying in bed with her head on my shoulder
does she know that i'm running away?
sitting at the breakfast table over coffee
does she realise that i can never stay?
no one can ever tie me down,
tie my limbs to the ground,
i've got to keep moving.
no one can shackle my veins,
dumb down my brain,
i'm always moving.
i'm baking in the sun,
the ground cracks all around me,
it's my definition of freedom
and though there's no smile on my face
i'm happy in my mind,
everything is here that i want to see.
you're welcome to come...

dreaming lusts of wander,
leaving choice to fate,
feeding needs of hunger,
missed oppurtunities of late.
eyes to scan the lie of the land,
mind to drift asunder,
ripped to shreds discarded plans
to lust for dreams of wonder.

to just have fun
what am i here for, to love or to live
or to fucking well just have fun,
i'm lost in a world of a dk hell
and all the little nothings that i've done.
i've nothing to wait, i'm stretching to break,
i'm running on ahead to horizons,
i'm looking far and wide and low and high
to just feel and fuck getting wiser.
so how about a little bit of passion,
a little bit of lust for life,
to get out and make things happen
and sleep wherever i lie.
it's the buddhist middle way,
don't force, don't hide away
but open your eyes
to...

slide show
i've had too much sambuca and smirnoff
and as usual i've pissed everyone off
but still they welcome me with a friendly face
but i just keep pushing them away.
i'm wandering alone and fucked up
down a busy london street
and though there's people all around
it feels deserted just like me.
i only get glimpses of another life
as the scenes go flashing by
and it makes me crawl back in my shell
and let that life just pass me by.
on a dusty train on the underground
i don't think i could be any more down,
i don't know where my friends...

of alchemy's magic pill
so to make a change,
a quest for better days,
a better life to live,
that things have got to be better than this.
greener pastures, sweeter dreams,
beating hearts in distant seas,
a utopian view,
hopes and dreams come true,
pain is intense,
love is immense,
i want this up and down existence
at the click of my fingers,
the ability to feel,
alchemy's magic pill.
life taps a rhythm of a beating heart,
if you lose the beat go back to the start,
we have forever to get it right
because forever is a life lived life.
so...
