Elpis
It was when outside
It was a torrid evening
But inside you had the chill,
And not even the flames of hell
Would have been enough
To warm your soul.
When sitting
By the sea
Drinking vodka
Surrounded by a crowd
And feeling tremendously alone,
You no longer looked at the horizon,
But at the bottom of the glass,
And seeing your reflection
You wondered since when
You had that lost gaze.
It was there, at the bottom of that glass,
That Elpis gave you
The spark in the darkness,
The North Star

Lost
My notes are filled with little snippets of thought a scribble of letters, genuine but unrefined it seems that when I feel passion I lack the motivation yet when I sit down with a glass of lemonade laptop in hand and cool breeze running through my hair my mind suddenly seems to lack a single coherent thought discouragement turns the pink sugar water to mud I question how I can declare poetry my love when I have not showered it with affection in months maybe I try too hard to turn pretty what's meant to be misshapen maybe each word doesn't have to flow like a steady stream divulging the...

Sayonara
Its been almost three suns,
two book spines,
and an unresponded text,
since last time we spoke.
You were in China
and you came back with a dragon on your skin.
How do you say in chinese: I love you.
Nevermind. The feelings I hold are too lame, and too late.
Maybe its me.
I waited till lockdown to spill the content of my heart
All the understanding, the concernes and future fears
The facades, and the prosthetic ears
I speak in my plastic cup
And you came and cut the string
While you hide secrets under...

FRACTURED ECHOES
The effects of Divorce, an shattering of vows, Altar turned graveyard and hanging brows ,
a house in silence sure beats domestic violence but the shadows and storms,
A symphony of wounds, in fractured forms.
Verbal lashes, mental bruises
Who am I in this ruin, this tangle of excuses?
Do they love me? Or was love buried beneath their war, Left to rot, splattered across the bedroom wall?
Why do they not love each other anymore?
Am I the reason for the fault lines that spread, these are my feelings that roam in my head
The cracks...

The Wolf Inside Of Me
In the depths of my soul, there lies a beast
A creature of darkness, of hunger and feast
A wolf that prowls with eyes so cold
A heart of darkness, untamed and bold
It lurks in the shadows, waiting to strike
A primal instinct, a thirst it must sate
It howls at the moon, a chilling sound
A reminder of the wild, untamed ground
The wolf inside of me, a powerful force
A reminder of nature's unyielding course
It runs with the pack, fierce and strong
A predator in a...

I have a suit malfunction sir
How did I get here, it's a bit of a blur?
I think I have a suit malfunction sir.
Made in sixty-five and has Paul on the name plate.
You only get one, so look after its mate.
Now I might have fallen out the odd tree.
Or dropped on my head a few times you see.
I've had a few sporting injuries and the odd stitch.
This could be the reason for why I twitch.
My body had a few bruises & strains.
Just one owner, but not everything remains.
The cabling to my server is very frayed.
