Inertia
I live alone inside
my head...
The silence is
deafening

The silence is

Parasite
Parasite
Life feeds on life
Flirts with harmony & strife
Baffles me day & night
Am I the hostile host
Or
The predatory parasite .

Father's Day
Wish
once I had
wished him
on a
father's day!
Probably
would’ve
asked me
what
it was...

Ode to Difficulties
The hardest things in my life have been the best
Parenting, university, work, poetry
The endless list goes on
And I’m so fucking thankful for it

Pens & Words
Put it away mate
Your pen is no almighty sword
Well
That’s what you say
The throngs of pleasance
Venture something more
And I’m no barricade
To their mad desires
Hell
I’m one of them myself
Your pen is no almighty sword
Well
That’s what you say
The throngs of pleasance
Venture something more
And I’m no barricade
To their mad desires
Hell
I’m one of them myself

Drawn to Darkness
Drawn to darkness
Edging to save
Crash and burn at times
Occasionally a win

mercy killing
I don't know where
all my years have
gone
-but if you are out
and about and run
into them-
please let them know
I miss them and
ask if they would
please come
home
thank you
all my years have
gone
-but if you are out
and about and run
into them-
please let them know
I miss them and
ask if they would
please come
home
thank you

Time
Lucky are those
Who say
" Time flies away "
Each moment in
This Dungeon
" A never ending Eon "
