touching silence
your fingers trail
through uninhabited places
where
wet words emanate
nourishing yourself into battle
painting me into more than art
feelings overtake thinking
exuding an energy which speaks fluently
hands run over the spread of your shoulders
the muscles of your stomach tighten
as I gently read every piece of flesh
making up the cover of you
my moans caught and held
deep, as you place
your brokenness against mine
weight pressing hard
I lie curved into you
listening ...

flowers don’t bloom below freezing anyway
you lined my being
with the purest of sands
served a start of forever
in the brine of your skin
I lay my fears behind
pushed my feelings over the dunes
of a thousand shores
drew my heart closer to yours
but bitter winds strip
and stifle everlasting visions
dreams come slow
blur fast
crash after crash it repeats
breaking over and again
without remorse
overly familiar
it takes time to realise
not everything visible
can truly be obtained
it just takes time…

flayed beneath you
I have tried
to pick it all apart
tried to understand how
you draw my mouth
to your own
you’ve grazed
gently across the silk
of naked skin
burning your scent
against white perfumed petals
spreading them gently
across the body I used to call my own
shaping straight lines effortlessly
outlining more than the
uncertainty that aflickers
against all the entrances and exits
that catch my gaze
I have tried to
piece it all together
figure out how I can hold on
to...
to pick it all apart
tried to understand how
you draw my mouth

the skies remember
05:52
awoken, not sure if I’ve yet been asleep
vibrations of moving clouds
sweeping
across battle-scarred skies above
the disturbance reflects
the blood I bleed
perfectly
permanently
11:00
two slender minutes
dedicated
to each who have given
corpulent amounts
of more than flesh
for those who never
crawled out of the trench one last time
and for those who never truly will
it doesn’t feel enough
timeless
I remember our last goodbye ...

tangled thoughts
I find myself conforming
featureless
through the crowds
a little more dead
within
every breath
hesitation lingers till I’m
unreasonable
blame
placed neatly, with him
them
surrounded by their disillusioned version
of reality
reflections change as ashes
fall; interrupted
into unaligned
and unfinished thoughts
where the deceit of permanency
its supposed duration on
continuity
penetrates, into counting
more than mere misunderstandings

he was a part of me...
is it wrong that I love thunder
the sound that I imagine, to
imitate detonations
bringing echoes closer home
while drowning out the pipers
who play
the fallen home
to the fields of brave
portending evil
senseless hatred
no place safe
a soldier
compromising his existence
for lands of deceit
that he may save
existing in a world
beyond
battling for
right or wrong
earth peeled of
innocent
each robbed
of rights
beliefs
of final goodbyes

inside the pocket of silence...
my gaze cautiously follows
the soft trailing of his fingers, as they run
inside the pages of my dreams, where
he touches them
just like they were part of his yesterday
I sit, waiting for him to fill the page
with more than the empty words
that I’ve come to know
find myself staring too long
bleeding into blurred hours inside the clock
stretched skin of fractured faith
held together
by the pages of his words of light, yet
uncertainty lingers over my existence
the mirror of his mind
reflecting...

...
your kiss split my lips, precisely
whispered words gently
placed
morning arrives carrying unfamiliar scents of questions that words can’t vocalise
and thoughts alone can’t stabilise
promises of eternal truths
awakened in a moment
where one can be nothing
but displeased to be alive
vision slowly creeping, knowing
tomorrow I’ll be with you
but forever
I’ll be without you
I ache
over the sound of running ink
until it perforates
my lips yearn for more
than the one
who was,...

daydream showers
absorbed in only you as
drops shed pretensions
reflecting simply us
soaked flesh catches every breath
as my touch, becomes your touch
eyes fully closed to the sounds of all the yesterday’s
caressed by succulence
as your lips explore the naked texture
of nothing less than unmeasured desire
all that’s tasted is the moment
as time loses power
thoughts flown to better lands
drenched face dry
merely in a daydream
heat, frozen into a silent photograph
never to chase summers rain away
drops shed pretensions
reflecting simply us
soaked flesh catches every breath
as my touch, becomes your touch
eyes fully closed to the sounds of all the yesterday’s
caressed by succulence
as your lips explore the naked texture
of nothing less than unmeasured desire
all that’s tasted is the moment
as time loses power
thoughts flown to better lands
drenched face dry

throbbing imprints
his presence somehow provocative
macho ways exuding a sexual energy
mystically contradictory
but my eyes narrow in suspicion
assumed lothario
striving for inferred rights
I misjudged that rapacious saunter
aggression fuelled by pure passion
his words layered my mind
arousing my entity
teased by his touch
tormented by his tongue
tempted by his scent
each cell swapping moment
consuming my whole body
claiming the deepest depths
edging me till I was burning ...
