Precarious.
It rolls in
like the tide
washing over
caressing pain
perfectly
drowning out
isolating
prayed for relief
in cool
fluidity
silent cooing,
relentless
in
terrifying
temptation
like the tide

Chaos of deafening screams
Reality has fled, left with only daydreams
Here I stand in mental confusion
Tears of disillusion
God help me please
Souls dropping today to their knees
Anyone have a tissue
Blood, guts, no glory, no wishes
As a nurse, is my existence mended into someone else’s pain
Last breath, last rites, never to feel or see the rain
God, I look to you each and every day
People have love, faith, yet, for the...

Melting Clocks
Stone skips, in – Ducks & Drakes.
Air displaced – Levity, light hearted carelessness…
(No matter the sky.)
Like
Pink balloons -
into
Sky blue balloons…
into
The blue-blue sky,
rising in calculations of levitations,
like
a dream of innocence
lost...
Lost to the ponderous pondering
of
mechanical
existence.
Rising ever higher…
Higher
even
than we could ever
aspire.
The world was lost
like a war.
And the exacted cost
was fire -
that did aspire, ...

Recycled
How does one get off the gerbil’s spinning wheel?
Regurgitated drivel not so cleverly disguised in rearranged formats, different words-
same meaning.
Love, Loss, Loneliness, Repeat.
Establishment has its drawbacks. There is nothing new to lament, or rejoice. It’s all been done.
admiration, adoration, atonement. redemption.
I’m
bored.

shiny
shiny shine, in the gloom I am glowing
in the depths I feel deeply
I spin in the energies so I get it
my anger is contagious I recoil when it hits me straight up
sinister need feeds its face off the hurt
I sequester my rage
it needs time in quarantine genuflecting
I've been here with you before, I feel
so I spill my guts like we're family
I can't be anyone but who I am
I can'r hack it as an actor
and really who would I be fooling?
no one, not even me
I escalate the violence inside me
whispering...

Requiem
Dead
Incinerated
Buried.
''He was such a great business partner''
Said a bungee scheme business partner of his.
''He was such a miser"
Reflected the grieving widow
Who had so far got away
With murder, having progressively increased
Some dosages and decreased others.
''He was such a loving father''
Said the daughter, in love with a father
Who had abused her and (anyway)
Rather hating the mother
Who did-not-know-never knew- ignored
His despicable behavior

I swore off writing sex poems for about 8 hours and then promptly wrote some more .....
Hey if it's not erotic
Then I'm psychotic
Looking for narcotics
So be my muse
Try to amuse
If not
I'll take a snooze
I hate rhyme
You have nice tits
Take off your clothes
Then I'm psychotic
Looking for narcotics
So be my muse
Try to amuse
If not
I'll take a snooze
I hate rhyme
You have nice tits
Take off your clothes

Oh, oh, oh.

Treats like

Fuck you.
Better luck
Alone.

Help!
Neediness.
Helps,
Gives mouth

Get lost,
Loser.
Hmmmm.
Okay

Hey,
Where
Are you?
Silence.
Walks off.
Distancing.
Don't
Be hurt.
Just kidding. ...

Icons
Kurt Russell was one of those movie icons
who made me realise I was queer.
Everyone likes a rough bastard
from time to time. (I do, at least).
And as a young man
I'd go loose in the knees
reflecting on his rough, stubbled,
and whiskey’d kiss.
