Things You Could Do That Would Hurt me More
Rip through my flesh
- anywhere, no need to be picky -
with a medium quality knife
like from one of those red handled sets Target sells.
Pour whatever stings most into the wound;
you'd know better than me.
Sew me back up slowly with a thick, rusty needle,
while some of the worst songs ever recorded are playing
like Bette Davis Eyes
or almost anything by Michael Bolton.
Put together a montage of video clips
of gut-wrenching cruelties,
the abject horrors that crush my soul
-racism, cruelty to animals, bullying-
and...

ill met by street light
sorry if I’m in your way
is different to
mine and dig
all you like but
it’s late and it’s dark
and I stopped to roll a
cig
and then I bumped into
you in the park
is different to
mine and dig
all you like but
it’s late and it’s dark
and I stopped to roll a
cig
and then I bumped into
you in the park

Sanity
We spend our whole adult life
Distracting ourselves from losing our
Sanity
Some are just better at it than others
Some of us just give in

This is a Moroccan beat which I personally love. Please listen while reading, I really would appreciate it, thank you 😊

Cast upon him a burden
a wicked curse
born under the wrong agenda
what could be worse?
Life's value lost and hollow
burned out
can anybody hear you?
There's no way out!...

Arc of dahlia
Preconceived notions
in motion
Vitriolic endeavor
The tether to apathy
I marinate in the cloak they fashion
Suturing myself into this synthetic veneer
Adhering to this external solace
Forced to fondle only the surface
When deep down
I've been trimmed of purpose
A newly minted petal
Of a flower
in a vase of malaise
Harrowed by years of misguidance
My emotions, untraveled
Ravelled and in bloom
In a razor lined room
I cinch the spill
until
emphatic palpitations...

As writers we all crawled out from Gogols overcoat, no?
Maybe it's because I'm Aussie
full European
bit of gypsy blood
wanderlust shoes
Something about Russian philosophy
if you find what's good
don't hoard it, share it around
The way to freedom
is in the deeper gnowing of my soul

Don't f**k with a GOD
Oh, behold
You almighty gatekeepers
Of the DEEP POETRY
Untouchable
Infallible you
NO questioning
Toss all others
To the side
This is YOUR space
The rest of us
Can shut our mouths
To save FACE
SLAVES to your grace
You almighty gatekeepers
Of the DEEP POETRY
Untouchable
Infallible you
NO questioning
Toss all others
To the side
This is YOUR space
The rest of us
Can shut our mouths
To save FACE
SLAVES to your grace

I Escaped, But Only Just - Part 13: Obstacles
It’s difficult to imagine that a few spoken sentences could have such a catastrophic effect in the long run - but that’s exactly what happened. For a while, the Jewish Youth club opened up new social opportunities. Discos. Which I enjoyed. But a group of kids came each Sunday and Thursday who had lots of money and behaved in a spoilt manner, judging others less fortunate.
My family wasn't neccessarily poor. However, we weren't affluent enough to be part of that group who flew abroad regularly in the latest designer clothes. In many ways, this didn’t bother me then. I saw enough...

Toxic
I am toxic masculinity
and there is this grand proclivity
towards violence and aggression
with a feminine obsession
Yes indeed the fairer sex
often witty and complex
always gets my juices flowing
there’s the manhood always growing
Lesser men that spike my ire
often burn within the fire
they fall beneath me every time
I even kill them with a rhyme
But with the ladies ever gentle
one could say I’m sentimental
I love their every scent and taste
believe me, nothing goes to waste
and there is this grand proclivity
towards violence and aggression
with a feminine obsession
Yes indeed the fairer sex
often witty and complex
always gets my juices flowing

Lesser men that spike my ire

they fall beneath me every time
I even kill them with a rhyme
But with the ladies ever gentle

I love their every scent and taste

Come On, Candi! Call It Quits! Willya?!
Mark
always
sees Candace
walk around the
pool constantly with
that seductive look in
her eyes and still wants her to
finally get it through her thick
head and call it quits because that guy's
going to marry his true love Danielle.

Exception to the Rule
Exception to the Rule
Every man
believes himself
an exception
to the rule,
that many things
he still might be
but never
just a tool.
His wisdom is
an insight of
how different
that he is,
when just affirming
this is true
negates
he's such a wiz.
He takes up time
and space
from her
to tell that he's not,
when just withholding
her the floor
decodes
the kettle pot.
Each excuse
excuses him
from being ...
