his last night down the pub ..
the old bloke was last seen
in the kings arms
imploringly held out in front of
him there was nothing
in the kings arms
imploringly held out in front of
him there was nothing

I am serious
I am serious
Don't make a fool
Of yourself
When you are talking to me
We are all
Brothers in heaven
Yes my Father
Made all of us
The earth is our
Temporally home
For now
Don't make a fool
Of yourself
When you are talking to me
We are all
Brothers in heaven
Yes my Father
Made all of us
The earth is our
Temporally home
For now

Cemetery in my lungs
You died
two days
before your birthday
and the card
I bought for you
sits on a shelf
as a reminder
of promises
unkept
two days
before your birthday
and the card
I bought for you
sits on a shelf
as a reminder
of promises
unkept

Indolence Banished
Rote simplicity
Begets complicity
Languorous spirits
Inhabit the mind
Whisper melancholic secrets
Obtuse apathy
Mental atrophy
End stage vacuous grind
Mindfully seeing
Fatefully freeing
Psychic visions
Life unbound
Unknown courage from God
Against the current
Overcame deterrent
Expansive horizons beyond
Begets complicity
Languorous spirits
Inhabit the mind
Whisper melancholic secrets
Obtuse apathy
Mental atrophy
End stage vacuous grind
Mindfully seeing
Fatefully freeing
Psychic visions
Life unbound
Unknown courage from God
Against the current
Overcame deterrent
Expansive horizons beyond

One More Drop
It drips
Teetering at the brim
The cup overflows
One more drop
Is all it takes to spill
What’s barely holding on
Teetering at the brim
The cup overflows
One more drop
Is all it takes to spill
What’s barely holding on

Crimson Swan
Once white as snow
Now crimson-smeared plumage
No amount of ponds
Can purify those sullied feathers
Drops of pureness ripple
Slowly drowning into damnation
Now crimson-smeared plumage
No amount of ponds
Can purify those sullied feathers
Drops of pureness ripple
Slowly drowning into damnation

Cracks
Spiders thread themselves in my life
They hide in dark places
Under blankets
Behind paintings
Inside dead pages
Between all the cracks breaking me
They hide in dark places
Under blankets
Behind paintings
Inside dead pages
Between all the cracks breaking me

Love's a Dirty Word

Love must be
the dirtiest word
it's left me
bleeding in the gutter
feeling life's absurd.....

Honey
dark blemishes scatter the body,
scars etch across the skin,
knees & elbows bleed,
beehives hang high for a reason,
honey is treacly,
& torment is desirable

beehives hang high for a reason,

it was
stunned
when
instead of
the holy river,
an incomplete
childhood
came floating
in its lap...
