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…..
….Into the...

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...

Her
A soul crying….
Ready for dying
Emotional disintegration
Ravaging winds, scathing
Blistering tenderest lips into the night
Through opened doors
Shines the essence of her spirit
Flooding my area to full
Eclipsing these many fears
My fragile hands hold tight
Pulling this soul out into sight
Surely the world will understand
She is the love I’ve been dreaming about
In this moment, I will sing…
Will lift my heart for her to enter in
Allowing her to purge my flesh
Willing her to completely digest ...

Dazzle me senseless
Crawling on the floor again
Just like all the times before
Unable to find a way
Back to the stability of sobriety
Instead, waiting for the wire
Laying and praying for a quick fix
Knowing this life is but a jinx
Hoping for anything else..,
Feels like robbery
Almost comedic
Dazzling darling… it ain’t
…. C’est la vie!

Sian.
(Prologue)
Sian looked at herself in the full length mirror fixed to the far wall of her room
She was of slim build with dark hair that reached her waist and had a slight curl to it
Her face was quite distictive displaying fine lines which added to her beauty and belied the traumatic life she had led
Her make up was bold, her clients preferred her painted up
It was Friday night and she was expecting a man known to most by the name of Bug
A nickname given due to his enormous eyes
Bug...

My Pyscopath
He offered me a way out…
Passage to another time
Fresh fields in a world of monotony
Far from daytime chaos
Nights better than days
In so many ways
I thought it would be easy
He said as much
Trouble was, nothing was true
Not even the creation of you
And so I caved, not knowing which way the sky would turn
If in fact, I would eventually burn
Your myth…
Lifeless to all that was left
Just a carcass waiting to rot
Clueless in traditional naivety
If only, a tune playing endlessly
Cold...

Across the Expanse
Stillness holds me
The expanse between us overwhelms
An enormity of impossibility
Leaving me absolutely
Shooting stars shoot past
And I know this loneliness will always last
You whisper across time
Subtle echoes reverberate
Keeping me awake until late
I hold onto promises long since made
Like small diamonds scattered wide and far
Maybe they can heal this lifelong scar?
Yet the line is broken
Everything has vanished into atmosphere
My sunken eyes state upward
I’m aware I’m standing in the middle of...

Infestation (alt)
Watching through tubes
I’m pornographically yours
Come spread your legs a little
Penetrate me with all your inflated being
That I might feel you ripping me apart
Please fulfil my inner craving
Bleed me to the point of death
Ruin whatever is still recognisable
Lay me down corrupted
Engulfed by treacherous hands
Infected beyond the restrictions of this night
I’m a shattered shell
Crushed by brutal plans
Forced to gag against your evolution
Splitting all I ever was
Shattering everything
All hope...

Infestation
Breathing through wires
I’m hormonally yours
Come spread your carbon wings
Encircle me with all your perverse ways
That I might taste your destruction
Become addicted to your seduction
Please fulfil my self hatred
Open old scars so I may see
An expansive version of me
Laid out before you
Primed to satisfy your appetite
Infect me long into the night
I’m an electric silhouette
Burnt into a neon skyline
Held systematically
Pressed up against chain-glass
Waiting for cracks to appear

Reflection
Reflections swirl
Pictures of childishness
Then they cease
Just to twist yet again
Leaving something
Not from this life
Another time
From another history
If one should exist
If only we could dream ourselves there again
In a mind spiralling
Flames skip, then dance
I picture you
Passion burns like a fire
But like ash…
You remain, only now as a mystery
Was there ever a you and me?
If make-belief could be real
Take your arms and cover me
That I may remember yesterday
