From Your View
Within your embrace
Tenderness caresses
Quietening life long fear
Opening doors into all that you have imagined for me
I see new worlds too strange to understand
I’m saturated by intensity such as this
I stand with you…
Far from pain
…from dreaded memory
I see your face so perfectly beautiful
Burning eyes that see through my lies
Healing hands hold my soul
You teach me to fly way up high
I’m praying that time won’t catch us
Not this time….
Thunder echoes from distant shores
Enormous...

More Scrawl on the Toilet wall.
Arriving on time
At 10.29
Come on, stand up tall
Please admire the fascinating scrawl
Someone’s made the effort
You may say so what?
Perhaps your perspective could change
If your clothing, I would rearrange
We could delve deeply
Despite the surroundings being a little bit creepy
Write a number, a name or even a request
Hold on tight, I’ll give it my best
Then later, when the stink of bleach overpowers
I might shell out for a nice bunch of flowers
Just a small token
After...

On Toilet Doors
Tread the wet floor
Inhale the stench
Step into the unknown
Close the door
Pull the rusty latch
Open your mind…
Invitations
Alternative situations
Look me up…
If you fancy a bit of cock
On Tuesday mornings I’m always here
You can come in me without a fear
Dripping taps
Cooling our red hot laps
Join me and the other guys
Learn to fly in obscure skies
Then make your mark, leave your number
Life no longer has to be such a bummer
Inhale the stench
Step into the unknown
Close the door
Pull the rusty latch
Open your mind…
Invitations
Alternative situations
Look me up…
If you fancy a bit of cock
On Tuesday mornings I’m always here
You can come in me without a fear

Then make your mark, leave your number
Life no longer has to be such a bummer

Feeling insignificant
He doesn’t look at me like he used to
He’s preoccupied with other things
I look to grab his attention
Unfortunately…
It’s folly, a waste of my energy
I’m invisible to him now
My affections are so politely rebuffed
I’m quietly disregarded
Told that I’m loved, but untouched in so many ways
I understand, I’m not so attractive
Time hasn’t been too kind to me
I look at myself in disbelief
In your shoes, I’d probably feel the same
Perhaps you ought to confess your dislike of me
That I’m not longer your cup of tea ...

Separation
Settling lights
We see a few
Shining out like a beacon
Overly stark….in the impenetrable dark
Longing to be there
A thousand miles separates us
Hearts shatter, as in a car crash
You look elsewhere in desperation
I’m aware of our alienation
We light a fire
Burning the last of our hope
You stand perfectly still
I stare not knowing how to feel
The flames lick angrily, ready to steal
So, this gestates until it’s all I know
Now, whenever I come to you, I understand we can...
We see a few

The woods in December
Many’s the time I’ve looked your way
Screaming wildly, so desperate to be heard
The rain hits hard, scoring my face
Memories betray me for yet another time
Take hold of me tonight
Squeeze me tight for the last time
And run into the trees
Don’t look back
I will love you to your eventuality
Then you will find life’s peace
Under soil, you shall rest
We will be together in daydreams
Every time it rains my skin will burn like sores
I will gladly hide in the shadow of the woods…
…. waiting for another you
Screaming wildly, so desperate to be heard
The rain hits hard, scoring my face
Memories betray me for yet another time
Take hold of me tonight
Squeeze me tight for the last time
And run into the trees
Don’t look back
I will love you to your eventuality
Then you will find life’s peace
Under soil, you shall rest
We will be together in daydreams
Every time it rains my skin will burn like sores
I will gladly hide in the shadow of the woods…
…. waiting for another you

December (alt)
It seems like the end of the world
Ice penetrates preserving my cracked heart
You vanish like mist
I fall endlessly
Trying to pull through
It’s fucking ridiculous without you
My resolve is blunt
I feel like something unmentionable
Let it snow until I don’t know
Endings were never a strong point
How I hate December
If only I wouldn’t die forever
Ice penetrates preserving my cracked heart
You vanish like mist
I fall endlessly
Trying to pull through
It’s fucking ridiculous without you
My resolve is blunt
I feel like something unmentionable
Let it snow until I don’t know
Endings were never a strong point
How I hate December
If only I wouldn’t die forever

December
Bare trees frame this scene
I stare out across a frozen winter garden
The morning light cuts and dormant leaves crackle
Snowy skies threaten the landscape
Silence floats, guided by icy breezes
I sigh deeply as you enter my thoughts
I’m reminded of secrets…
Of heart strings long since broken
On a similar day, when the lakes froze
When we ran and did silly things
I remember carrying you, then falling down laughing
Our love shone on that cold day
You and I found something special
We should not of let it go ...

Black holes
Wishful thinking…
That for tonight only
We could fall into the blackest of holes
And find ourselves…
Comforted by the gloomiest radiance
Tightly bound together
By a festering sense of hurt
Sliding deeper
Waiting for broken wings to carry us…
Further into the time of our demise
That you and I might find each other’s decaying souls…
Buried beyond the help of Jesus
Crushing as it is…
Let’s do it all again and again
Not only tonight
Nail me to the floor
Pretend it’s pleasure ...
That for tonight only
We could fall into the blackest of holes
And find ourselves…
Comforted by the gloomiest radiance
Tightly bound together
By a festering sense of hurt
Sliding deeper
Waiting for broken wings to carry us…
Further into the time of our demise
That you and I might find each other’s decaying souls…
Buried beyond the help of Jesus
Crushing as it is…
Let’s do it all again and again
Not only tonight
Nail me to the floor
Pretend it’s pleasure ...

If I found you in the street
Wandering ……
Peering through rusted bars
Watching the concrete slowly crumble
I’m only waiting for the sex that’s yours
I’ll open up, that you may devour my ripe flesh
Suck my insides out with all your well meaning purpose
Swallow each drop until I can arrive no more
Stifle my indulgence
Hold me there, teetering near the cutting edge
Blunt each little nerve with rudimentary surgery
Hack away all that is of no use to you
Leave but a shrunken soul
Evaporated, elongated, primed to be relegated…..

Not a straight answer
You don’t answer my questions
Even though I think I’m entitled
You twist the truth, sometimes hiding it in plain sight
The deeper I delve,
the more cunning you become
When I tire of chasing you down
You stand defiant, enjoying my ignorance
It should be bliss
Yet, I know I’m a prisoner in all of this
Even though I think I’m entitled
You twist the truth, sometimes hiding it in plain sight
The deeper I delve,
the more cunning you become
When I tire of chasing you down
You stand defiant, enjoying my ignorance
It should be bliss
Yet, I know I’m a prisoner in all of this

f**king Positivity
In life, I haven’t invested
Traditional living have I resisted
The distance seemed too far
I was never gonna be on par
For the demands on me
Proved be the source of much misery
Unfortunately I was weak
Giving in at the drop of a hat, never reaching the peak
Now here I sit…
Void of wisdom, of empathy and of wit
No direction, despite the many miles I’ve walked
My words are meaningless, just sounds I’ve squawked
I have nothing of worth left to give
It’s a crying shame on how not to live
And you probably think...
