(page 8 is better, and if you like it, then click view my poems as a list and go to page one, rather than read it backwards, which to me seemed to amplify certain of the themes, but in an opposite direction than where

The Sanctity of Art
Art is the stronghold of
freedom of expression
and danger abides when
political correctness is
allowed to undermine it.
Cultural sensitivity is important,
yea, vital to the progress of
mankind and will deepen with
our collective evolution.
The creative process of art,
however, must never subordinate
itself to what may seem more
palatable, whether politically
or socially. “The art that the world
calls immoral, is the art that shows
the world its own shame.” (Oscar Wilde)

liberty
.cast out
the outcast
realised
liberation
after
prolonged
delibration
love, bounds
and binds
yet
there exists
a space-time
there
too
how dumb.
listlessness
just a side, effect
of the birth
of freedom.

Storm is an astronaut
At half midnight they awaken
remnants from a rubiks cube start to preform their act
against walls slightly creeping over the ceiling
immaculate sights
I lay awake and wonder excruciating thoughts
existence riddled like a quivering yarn thread
breaking loose in spiraling motive
all seem air as helium is pumped into a balloon
propelled plastic from afar woven by wind
ghost after ghost begins to sigh
scraping fountains turn into metal blades
lancing spears soar sphered dusk
Earth I was bare
Now ...

Chypre
His scent was like the fragrance of bottled adventure, fermented and crafted with time, vintage like whilst his elegance was stately, composed like an orchestrated symphony as I noted subtle signs of his masculinity whilst his prominence announced itself, and I dabbled in the depths of the unspoken but felt whilst inhaling the base notes of his essence, basking in the radiance of his playful aura as he tendered nothing but his raw authenticity & intelligence, and my lips squandered the opportunity as he beckoned me to come closer whilst strategically fingering the pattern etched upon my...

DARK BLUE EYES
I took one look,
At those dark Blue Eyes,
I fell so deep into them,
I couldn't save myself.
Those Blue Eyes
told me all I wanted to know,
For I saw your love,
gentle, caring heart
That you hind so well.
For I know that it was
God’s plan for us to meet,
For we have had many,
Many bare missing in life,
But we finally got it right.
So, let’s begin life again,
With this new & exciting love.

a note regarding a recently hidden poem
I removed my DV poem recently. Two people commented and what really got me was the victim shaming of the first commentor.
Firstly because the poem may not have been about me, and if it was, who is to say that it's not a poem about something that happened in the past, and I'm simply writing about it now.
Secondly, because DV relationships are so nuanced that it can be hard for so many reasons, for victims to leave.
For a lot of people with nowhere to go, the choice between staying and homelessness is a huge factor. They may not have any friends and family in...

finally free
I used to sleep on the edge of the bed
Desperately clinging to the side of my mattress
For the very presence of your body beside me in my bed was enough to keep me in a constant state of panic
You always fell asleep so quick,
So easily, so peacefully
Completely unaware of my fear,
Of my unrelenting restlessness
It took me hours to find enough peace in my chaos-ridden mind to begin to drift off
I feel though, as if I never truly slept in that bed next to you,
I just took a quick rest,
Just a little break whenever the night shift was slow...

there is no title to an apology
my apologies to the people who have been subjected to my shit. I am not a good interactor. I am insensitive, a terrible writer, and I have shoved my shit in your faces for so long and at such high volume that you have had no choice but to pay attention to me. And I wrote something very insensitive about the war which continues to affect so many lives today (I said I felt like it was my fault, which may have been just too much for a couple of big folks around here).
I have never been to war, and I can only comprehend it's horrors in my mind. Same thing with life on the...

On The Nature Of "It." Visual poem.
Please, anybody who is or who might be reading this, do not be alarmed.
These pieces regarding "It" are my attempt to understand / come to terms with something that happened 20 years ago, on or around June 21st, 2001.
Like Phillip K. Dick's Exegesis period,
a metaphysically dislocating experience
based upon what seemed to be information retrieval/revelation received from an unknown source, which source might equally as well merely been my imaginal and imagining conscious.

Still miss you
Four years now you’ve been gone
Hopefully to a better place
They said you were gone even before
Your heart gave out
But I wonder
Did you hear me?
Did you know I was there?
I’d always protected you growing up
This time
.......I couldn’t
I know you wanted
To stay
But it wasn’t meant to be
When I got the call
That your heart gave out...
..... a piece of mine died, too
I know I’m not alone in this world
In which I still roam
But it feels like it sometimes
Some days the memories...
