Unbreak me
You found me lying in the bathroom
Hiding the sharp chilling in my bones
I was fighting for a breakthrough
Wishing I had never met you
Living in the silence
waiting for the sirens
Pull me out
For one moment, I looked up screaming God please take me.
How can love make the world go around when it destroys us
for a time.
Unbreak the broken
Unburn the ashes
Pull me out
Hiding the sharp chilling in my bones
I was fighting for a breakthrough
Wishing I had never met you
Living in the silence
waiting for the sirens
Pull me out
For one moment, I looked up screaming God please take me.
How can love make the world go around when it destroys us
for a time.
Unbreak the broken
Unburn the ashes
Pull me out

All the worms are coming out of the woodwork for a piece of the action!
By Stanley Collymore
Irony completely lost on
the plethora of rabidly
fawning, and utterly
brownnosing plebeians who
in this ridiculous adulation
of theirs, over the top and
pertaining to a distinctly
over-privileged, clearly
99-year-old, obviously
deceased man, in fair
context is obviously
quite North Korean.
And if this adopted
response, co-opted
across Britain had
happened there it
would have been
hugely ridiculed!
The crucial difference...

Are where I will be found.
I was created there.
Conversations we’ve had,
Quotes I use and characteristics
I exhibit are all someone else’s.
An enormous burden that-
Forever trying to maintain
A persona never fully formed.
By equal measure never really
Understood, except by other
Book babies who know the grift.
I’ll swoosh in like a northern wind
And take you all by storm, you’ll
Be smitten, agog to know more.
But that’s when I make my exit.
Where who you met...
Are where I will be found.
I was created there.
Conversations we’ve had,
Quotes I use and characteristics
I exhibit are all someone else’s.
An enormous burden that-
Forever trying to maintain
A persona never fully formed.
By equal measure never really
Understood, except by other

I’ll swoosh in like a northern wind
And take you all by storm, you’ll
Be smitten, agog to know more.
But that’s when I make my exit.

I'm not perfect but...
I'm not perfect
I'm far from it
I tell myself I'm sorry
But my mind won't accept it
My sense of humour is warped
I guess my filter is broken
These are my excuses
True words are unspoken
Am I afraid ?
I don't want to get hurt again
Push all you like but
I just can't let you in
I will stay closed
And not walk into the open
Sometimes I'll say
Stuff that I don't even mean
Because you react and it keeps you away from me
I know I'm not a bad person
I wish I would let you see
I know...
I'm far from it
I tell myself I'm sorry
But my mind won't accept it
My sense of humour is warped
I guess my filter is broken
These are my excuses
True words are unspoken
Am I afraid ?
I don't want to get hurt again
Push all you like but
I just can't let you in
I will stay closed
And not walk into the open
Sometimes I'll say
Stuff that I don't even mean
Because you react and it keeps you away from me
I know I'm not a bad person
I wish I would let you see
I know...

Dear Silence
I've written to you before, but only in my mind. You've come so close to being mine, but that time was never now. The last regret, the last thing I can't forget, were the words that you said to me. You told me quote "I was going to tell you how I feel, but I couldn't find my pen". Now that is silence to me.

I hate to admit it
I hate to admit it
I saw your face and smiled
I hate to admit it
I saw your light and awakened
I hate to admit it
I fell so hard for you
I hate to admit it
I thought that you fell too
I hate to admit it
I got so close and learned, that
I hate to admit it
I lost you and got burned
I saw your face and smiled
I hate to admit it
I saw your light and awakened
I hate to admit it
I fell so hard for you
I hate to admit it
I thought that you fell too
I hate to admit it
I got so close and learned, that
I hate to admit it
I lost you and got burned

Harmonious loss of composure
Can you see yourself?
Set in the crowded room.
That moment the screams are louder than they ever have been before.
You'll try to hold on tight,
at least for tonight.
Beg and plead as they rise.
Groveling before shadows,
too stubborn to let go.
The gravest mistake that echoes
at the loss of your own voice.
It's too early to leave.
Senseless repetition,
Amongst resonating shame.
Lights out.
Words falter at the explanation.
Pretending to be alive.
Dim, the branches will bend.
Back...
Set in the crowded room.
That moment the screams are louder than they ever have been before.
You'll try to hold on tight,
at least for tonight.
Beg and plead as they rise.
Groveling before shadows,
too stubborn to let go.
The gravest mistake that echoes
at the loss of your own voice.
It's too early to leave.
Senseless repetition,
Amongst resonating shame.
Lights out.
Words falter at the explanation.
Pretending to be alive.
Dim, the branches will bend.
Back...

Ain't No Pulitzer
Aint no Pulitzer when I'm gone
a cross made from a yardstick
in the soil as your papa now rest
with earmuffs drowning out sounds
death dances like a silent movie
through eyes of my rigor mortis
perhaps there's an Oscar waiting
in the wings.

R.I.P. Phillip
So Phillip died
Long well-filled
Life
Of service
To the Queen.
I am not a monarchist
So my heart
Does not bleed.
P.S, The Bells
Of Parliament
In Ottawa
Will sound
99 times.
Noise pollution.

In Absentia
In absentia through this door
all hours of the night
spawning death evermore
into the bowels of annihilation...
letting go of the drowning mist
and psychopathia's dark eyes
of narcissistic behavior
in my sleight of hand...
addicted to self masochism
in life's cabaret
and my blade's Aphrodite
painting the wall red.
all hours of the night

letting go of the drowning mist
and psychopathia's dark eyes

Blue Notes In Death
In mellow twilight sounds
of breath filling the void
and Occam's razor of night
of a weeping Stradivarius
dripping in blood
of Ichabod Crane's ghost
blue notes in death's encore
silently screaming
through the darkness
from the stairs up above
swirling against my neck
from the shadow of my Moriarty
of breath filling the void
and Occam's razor of night
of a weeping Stradivarius
dripping in blood
of Ichabod Crane's ghost
blue notes in death's encore
silently screaming
through the darkness
from the stairs up above
swirling against my neck
from the shadow of my Moriarty

Just My Shadow
Touching the emptiness
of faded pink lips
unraveling the dark
echoing...
under the frost
of the moonlight
sticking like pine tar
reading Adagio...
screaming in perpetuity
with no maturity date
listening to the pendulum
tick-tock...
then there was silence
all through the house
not a stranger at the door
just my shadow...
of faded pink lips
unraveling the dark
echoing...
under the frost
of the moonlight
sticking like pine tar
reading Adagio...
screaming in perpetuity
with no maturity date
listening to the pendulum
tick-tock...
then there was silence
all through the house
not a stranger at the door
just my shadow...
