A Sanitized Life
Fertilizers don't stink anymore
everything is disinfected,
is someone talking shit you don't like?
cancel them,
unfriend them,
call them manure,
then spray them with sanitizer,
until our lives stop smelling.
But guess what?
nothing can grow,
lives don't thrive anymore,
what's my credit score?
There must be an app for that,
there isn't,
in our neatly ordered existence,
our anima's dead.
Thank god we're germ free
or I would be...

There's Such Sights To Show You
I know
without you asking
Feel your soul's rampage
Unspoken are chilled secrets
which twist a dire spear
Harnessing natural care
we instant soothe
our mutual destruction
long and purposeful
Both sharing
needle and thread
Stitching each other closed
with tender hushes sewn
Mewing pleas to divinity
at every languid pull
Stem the bleeding
Where scars weep tears
Rip themselves open
Revealing
streams of unconcealed chaos
Single...

i’m so sick
of seeing
you all
in my dreams
long night
after night
memories
still haunting
and half
of the time
the stories
are all wrong
painting you
in colors
that you
never wore
desires
i dreamt up
wishing you
were more
waking up
thrashing
and yelling
forlorn
those words
i was never
quite able
to say
feelings
i wish
would just
go away
trying to
forgive you

Spirited
I'm not sure
Where i started from
But somehow
I ended up in Colchester
I was in a squat
It was empty when i'd moved in the night before
But when i awoke next morning
It was abuzz of activity
And i discovered i had been asleep
On some kind of stage
People were preparing banners of some kind
And there was lots of colours
And smiley faces
And no-one seemed the least bit bothered
That i had been sleeping
On what was clearly the main stage
I gathered my bits, and pieces
And loaded them into my rucksack
Put on...

Frozen
The man
With furry ears
Furry nose
And a very furry moustache
Had dreams
Fantasies, no less!
About far off worlds
Boy, meets girl
Drag on
Like a dragon
Meanwhile.....
We
Ner' do wells
Dance with the fairies
In circles of magic
As time
Drifts away
Floating
On thin air
Like dreams
Wandering whispers
Carried along
On the winds of time
And so we drift
Silent as zephyrs
Cool
As melting ice
We are the dead
The nightmares
The screams
That remained ...
With furry ears
Furry nose
And a very furry moustache
Had dreams
Fantasies, no less!
About far off worlds
Boy, meets girl
Drag on
Like a dragon
Meanwhile.....
We

Dance with the fairies
In circles of magic
As time
Drifts away
Floating
On thin air

Wandering whispers
Carried along
On the winds of time
And so we drift
Silent as zephyrs
Cool
As melting ice
We are the dead
The nightmares
The screams

Midnights Caress
Shadows plague a heart so
tender, haunted silhouettes
upon this soul.
Taunting me since late
November, a wretched
thing to feel this cold.
So I wrap myself in fiery
prose and words to warm
this weary flesh,
close my eyes and long
to slumber, a tortured dream,
midnights caress.
tender, haunted silhouettes
upon this soul.
Taunting me since late
November, a wretched

So I wrap myself in fiery

this weary flesh,
close my eyes and long
to slumber, a tortured dream,
midnights caress.

The Oz of Churlish Thoughts
There's so many thoughts in my head
Churling, evil little things, clawing scratching everything
Here and there they go, never standing still
Yes, here again we go and go and go
There's so many thought tornadoes
Taking the pills feels like shooting at the wind
Turning around and shooting you in the stomach
And there goes your previous meal
Thoughts, these thoughts, fuck these thoughts
I can't seem to get away, it feels like rain
Or hail falling down upon my head
I would scream but here I am drowning
Flash floods and...

Brush strokes
Brush strokes
The sky this afternoon had odd clouds
looked like icebergs floating on pink air
The seagulls took refuge on my terrace.
A grey wolf with a leg of lamb scratched
on the door, I let it in.
when preparing the meat, the wolf left
down the hall that was dimly lit
I asked no question
I remembered a Russian painter of black forests
and dark red sky I think he was foresighted
therefore, sent to a Gulag.
The sea in the bay is dark with white spots
the Russian has gone mad, was his name...

Dream
I keep thinking of you at night
And i hate myself for doing that
I try to sleep so hard
But that just brings me harm
I woke up from a dream
Call it a nightmare if you will
I had you in my arms so tight
But then you just left my sight
Deep in the ocean you went at night
You knew thats what makes me fright
And you chose that way to fight
I cursed the tide for taking you inside
Two souls that God combined
How could some water simply divide
Until my end i will fiercly deny
Along the shore i waited for you...
And i hate myself for doing that
I try to sleep so hard
But that just brings me harm
I woke up from a dream
Call it a nightmare if you will
I had you in my arms so tight
But then you just left my sight
Deep in the ocean you went at night
You knew thats what makes me fright
And you chose that way to fight
I cursed the tide for taking you inside
Two souls that God combined
How could some water simply divide
Until my end i will fiercly deny
Along the shore i waited for you...

Snuffed Out
Shadows of the dead
Silhouetted on bare walls
Imprints of existence
Now devoid of flesh
And bones
Just ashen memories
Of forgotten souls
That drowned
In the flames
Of a nuclear strike
The dread
Of the dead
The lucky ones
Were still asleep
Their flame of life
Snuffed out
Like the flickers
Of a dying candle
Lost
Whilst in a dream
Not waking
To the reality
Of the nightmare
Befalling them
Death
Came easily
And cheaply
Yet was a high price
To pay
for...
Silhouetted on bare walls

Now devoid of flesh

Paranoia
I’ve awakened from terrible visions.
I have screamed in the dead of the night.
Vivid nightmares have carved their incisions
In the cracks of my terror and fright.
Every time I have slept in the solace
Of my wonderful, comforting bed,
Still the demons come, evil and lawless,
As they bask in the sea of my dread.
In the darkness, I try to find meaning
As the horrors surround me in there.
I can hear wicked voices demeaning.
To confront them, I never would dare.
But they press down upon me, undaunted,
For they know that my will...
I have screamed in the dead of the night.
Vivid nightmares have carved their incisions
In the cracks of my terror and fright.
Every time I have slept in the solace
Of my wonderful, comforting bed,
Still the demons come, evil and lawless,
As they bask in the sea of my dread.
In the darkness, I try to find meaning
As the horrors surround me in there.
I can hear wicked voices demeaning.
To confront them, I never would dare.
But they press down upon me, undaunted,
For they know that my will...

The seekers
Into the soul of darkness
Go the mouths of babes
Into the belly of the beast
Beyond the bowels of despair
Seaching for the golden grail
To bring peace to their dying land
The enemy lies in wait
To devour any light that
Dares to glisten in grandeur
Noxious fumes spread
Ripping every breath away
Visions of concentration camps
Tear through the seekers minds
The urge to abolish their journey
Is only outweighed by their
Desperate hunger for peace and freedom
There are no rules...
Go the mouths of babes
Into the belly of the beast
Beyond the bowels of despair
Seaching for the golden grail
To bring peace to their dying land
The enemy lies in wait
To devour any light that
Dares to glisten in grandeur
Noxious fumes spread
Ripping every breath away
Visions of concentration camps
Tear through the seekers minds
The urge to abolish their journey
Is only outweighed by their
Desperate hunger for peace and freedom
There are no rules...
