Just The Edges
I thought I heard you say
I love you.
Startled me, like a minor car crash.
Enough to alter time, for a long moment.
Changing the parameters
of this evening.
I'm pretty sure I heard you.
So my sticks and stones alerted,
to build up the guard around me.
I thought we had agreed
that word was off limits.
Maybe we hadn't made a pact
not to say it.
But that night, months ago
when we were trading rules,
it was one of them brought up.
Heads nodded, and we got past it,
to the next agreement of ...

Internals Seperate
So that's just it huh?
This is my purpose afterall
My destiny
As some may say
To see my body
Only as an extension of my spirit
Separate
A part of the external world
Just as I used to see as a child
So to speak
Looking down at my hands
My arms
My mind could not comprehend
What it was looking at
Yes these are my hands
Yes these are my arms
But
These have no meaning
To the type of mind I have
How to work these things
We call hands and feet
Legs and arms
My brain just cannot simply ...

Deflecting attention from our awful Tory regime as usual, eh Daily Mail?
By Stanley Collymore
You should simply be quite
delighted Daily Mail with
what the Metropolitan
Police has become and what you
and your rightwing sort basically
generally, truly always wanted it
to be; effectively in your literally
jaundiced and evidently clearly
endemically racist eyes, being
distinctively non-woke! For as
this scathing report distinctly
shows the Met Police clearly
are most crucially, the direct
opposite, very essentially of
everything which your quite
firmly embedded,...

Avoidance Unavoidance
I was waiting for someone to come
And save me
But no one ever came
Now this is the result
Caught up in an endless fantasy
My only escape
It was inevitable
An awakening within
Words cannot explain
How much I wished to be saved
The avoidance
Eating at my core
As I started to feel
Like no more
And save me
But no one ever came
Now this is the result
Caught up in an endless fantasy
My only escape
It was inevitable
An awakening within
Words cannot explain
How much I wished to be saved
The avoidance
Eating at my core
As I started to feel
Like no more

Insane Brain
I used to always try to control my thoughts
It's processes
Like really hard
That was my determination
Now I see
The impossible
The brain is a complex thing
One cannot just simply control the thing
I cannot control it
I cannot control it
I see
I cannot fully
Control it
Otherwise in jeopardy
My body will be
When I try
When I feel sensitive to the stimuli
I get this crazy tingling in my brain
And if I let it
I know
It will truly drive me insane
It's processes
Like really hard
That was my determination
Now I see
The impossible
The brain is a complex thing
One cannot just simply control the thing
I cannot control it
I cannot control it
I see
I cannot fully
Control it
Otherwise in jeopardy
My body will be
When I try
When I feel sensitive to the stimuli
I get this crazy tingling in my brain
And if I let it
I know
It will truly drive me insane

You Could've Been Me
I could have been you ...
Take a look at the sky
Heaven seems so far away
I've stood under the rain
Felt it seep into my brain
I've shut my eyes
Crawled into the mud
I'm afraid of growing old
And shiver when I'm cold
I could have been you
You could have been me
One small change that shapes our destiny
We bleed the same way
If you need proof
Cut me and you will see
Take a walk inside my shoes
A path I did not choose
Change is turning into fear
Fear is melting into hate
Touch what I feel
And know...

the sex obsession
The Sex Obsession
He was in his middle years, a retired seafarer living far
from the oceans of his youth and dreams had drowned
in swells of a restless, life.
He lived an inert life, walking his dog in the forest when
not driving his bike, visiting forgotten villages, trying
to find a childhood hazily remembered; but what he drew
had been a happy one in a time of war.
One day he met a woman (not a beauty)
he was drawn into her sphere of sexuality; he was in love.

Skin And Bones
there’s a crack in her sanity
that’s how the light gets away
her skin remains but not vanity
between a love and hate replay
an ineffable distance separates
I can sense you and I’m at ease
memory’s pain still conjugates
like the tickle of ivory keys
a dream hides in an empty closet
hear the creak of a rusty hinge
faded notes configure a composite
just this side of the lunatic fringe
rotten flesh took all that she owns
she cannot rise from where she prays
darkness shines to reveal faded bones
her...

Oldness
One day you are young
One day you wake up
With bad hips, bad knees
Wondering where
It's all gone
And why me why me why me
Not fair
Hey you: turn back the clock
There's a few things I must see to
And repair.

Anxiety (2)
I can't
Because I'm leaving shortly
I can't
Because I fear
I fear to live I fear living
I can't because I fear
To open up to others
Preferring Prentence
I can't
Because I am leaving
Always preparing to leave
Toooooo afraid to open
And stay.
Because I'm leaving shortly
I can't
Because I fear
I fear to live I fear living
I can't because I fear
To open up to others
Preferring Prentence
I can't
Because I am leaving
Always preparing to leave
Toooooo afraid to open
And stay.

Waking up, or staying up all night. Whatever.
You wake up in the morning
feeling like a shave
and a bath
will make you human again
shivering with your nose running
you
look in the mirror
with pain rushing through
every
nerve
you have
what you see?
a faded image of your
past
self
but i have been there
too many times
i must say
so
listen to me
you might be lost
you might be broken
you might be in pieces
but you are
alive
and bit by bit you are
going
to
live
some pieces of that life might be...

the new tyranny
The new tyranny
Smoke of anger
rises from the streets
A hunger
for equality
Demonstration, strikes
is the seen action
The authorities do nothing
wait for exhaustion
when the starving turns
fight each other
At that moment
new laws introduced
that will
curtail the scant
freedom people have
