Secrets - Creaking Floorboards
They say that you and I never went to Vince Macarthur's house, only Gordon did. But I did go, and so did you. I remember the three of us going and I remember the house well. The faded curtains. The musty smells. The shabby carpets. The elusive dancing shadows behind the loose banisters on the staircase. The torn settee by a pile of dusty newspapers. The purple vase in the corner with a fine wiry pattern etched in the glasswork. The metal guard around the gas fire. Model aeroplanes in the sitting room. Spitfires. Lancaster Bombers.
The whole place had a dark and gloomy...
The whole place had a dark and gloomy...

Fear is GOD
Ants think grasshopper to be numen
Grasshopper thinks bird to be demiurge.
Rat think snake to be divinity
Snake think eagle to be celestial.
Fish think shark to be titan
Shark think orcas to be icon.
Lamb thinks lion to be daemon
Lion think man to be immortal.
And man think emptiness to be God
Get it now?
There's no God, only that which we fear
Grasshopper thinks bird to be demiurge.
Rat think snake to be divinity
Snake think eagle to be celestial.
Fish think shark to be titan
Shark think orcas to be icon.
Lamb thinks lion to be daemon
Lion think man to be immortal.
And man think emptiness to be God
Get it now?
There's no God, only that which we fear

Tell It To The Bees
When I was eight, a bee stung my face.
Tangled itself in my hair
saw me as an enemy
and shot hot venom into my skin.
My Mother ran to her screaming kid
as a moment of pure panic erupted
on Sunday’s lawn,
but the damage was done
my head throbbing, numb
where a bruise turned a vivid shade
of violet, as bold as my new fear
of small latching insects.
Fast forward thirty years
and I...
Tangled itself in my hair

and shot hot venom into my skin.
My Mother ran to her screaming kid
as a moment of pure panic erupted

but the damage was done
my head throbbing, numb
where a bruise turned a vivid shade
of violet, as bold as my new fear
of small latching insects.

My Monster
When the dark hours rang,
I remained inside,
Locked away from the danger,
Breathing behind doors,
As my parents had warned
To be safe,
Embraced in my blanket, I slept.
While claws crept from beneath the bed,
Where my monster hid,
The one my parents had left,
To rest at ease.
I lay engulfed in my sheets,
Waiting for the promised tricks,
That carved out my nightmares.
I remained inside,
Locked away from the danger,
Breathing behind doors,
As my parents had warned
To be safe,
Embraced in my blanket, I slept.
While claws crept from beneath the bed,
Where my monster hid,
The one my parents had left,
To rest at ease.
I lay engulfed in my sheets,
Waiting for the promised tricks,
That carved out my nightmares.

the darkest of the dark
I am haunted by cruel truths
there will be no peace for me
only brightly lit colors arranged with pleasant scenes
clouded over grey as the monsters bleed from behind the beautiful façade
so artistly rendered to conceal the disease
it ooze from every pore death and decay
it wore a happy face until it smile no more
and you witness it wielding a hatchet with your name on it
insanity held the blade and you know there is no reasoning with it
the sunlit room was now a place of horror and dismay
it turns in a second or perhaps it's always been...

I Was Afraid
Preceding experiences, traumatic and unkind
choosing hope over fear, never resigned
spiritual journey meant to emprise
Consideration for perceptual illusions
prohibiting an unquiet mind’s intrusions
as thoughts are often boldfaced lies
Resolute, upon a prophetic mission
steadfast, firmly holding position
promising future, intended to realise
Leaning into discomfort and pain
disallowing its tyrannical reign
in solitude and reflection, I am wise
Assuredly battered yet never broken
distant memories,...

Blindness
People, young man, are stupid.
You won’t realise how stupid they are
until you understand
that you’re just as stupid as them.
You scrabble in the dark as much
when it comes to the meanings of things
as he who blamed a temple God
for his wife’s miscarriage,
and she who thinks she won’t be gay
if she’d just pray that sin away.
Or him who felt that science said
that other races must lay dead,
or anyone from dunce to polymath.
We all just wriggle in the dark
like worms fearing the child’s wrath

On Hallowed Ground
Slash and split, on royal roads
better natured angels
from dark restless demons
pulling one down and down
when past and present collides
there's confusion in time's tide
when one's gone the other stays
there's tears on rusted iron
free the shadows from candles
write down the spells
to separate spells and curses
to allow in lights
hallowed and free
dead graveyards unremembered
angel wings unfurl
flirting with the wind
and fly away
better natured angels
from dark restless demons
pulling one down and down
when past and present collides
there's confusion in time's tide
when one's gone the other stays
there's tears on rusted iron
free the shadows from candles
write down the spells
to separate spells and curses
to allow in lights
hallowed and free
dead graveyards unremembered
angel wings unfurl
flirting with the wind
and fly away

Digging (My Own Grave)
Subconsciously,
I'm sure this feeling
Of falling in love again
Will not last long
In the blink of an eye
I will be holding my breath
And feeling like
I'm digging my own grave
It happens every time
Without fail
I'm sure this feeling
Of falling in love again
Will not last long
In the blink of an eye
I will be holding my breath
And feeling like
I'm digging my own grave
It happens every time
Without fail

March of Ides are Afraid
March of Ides are Afraid”
Something billowing haunts March
Torturing the essence of the heart
Unknown the smithereens it brings
Lies upon Hades’ heathens wings
Shallow are ones smothered in regret
Dancing jagged thorns never to forget
Numbness flows within hollow veins
Will infinity forthcoming be in flames?
Way of the warriors extend your blade
Take out evil-doers consumed with hate
Crawling the skin just chillin like a villain
Eden's fruit beget sin, wikked was forgiven
Enraged...
Something billowing haunts March
Torturing the essence of the heart
Unknown the smithereens it brings
Lies upon Hades’ heathens wings
Shallow are ones smothered in regret
Dancing jagged thorns never to forget
Numbness flows within hollow veins

Way of the warriors extend your blade
Take out evil-doers consumed with hate
Crawling the skin just chillin like a villain
Eden's fruit beget sin, wikked was forgiven
