An old dusty drawer full of birdso
A haven when the axe was at your n
When he created and then fed on yo
Was sanctuary a degree to cold to

human nature is a strange thing
we waste our time chasing unobtain
try to control the uncontrollable
instead of letting go and moving w
moving past the beauty

to you I’m less than derisory
it seems I’m viewed as empty space
a nocturnal drift to an overspill
as you scream without fear or grac
respect is just a word without wei

In a world where my soul doesn’t f
And all who see me in some way tak
I feel like the breath from a dece
Just to be sucked back down by ano
Freedoms soar like a caged birds s

Tired resistance
Slow like treacle leaves the spoon
Falling into stasis
The sun has risen, all energy cons
Love has reached critical mass

gone are the days of conversation
erudite chats of things that confu
spanners thrown into confabulation
tirades minus words just bemuse
its a sad sorry state of affairs

i see your face and I hear your wo
but you’re not like us its a disgu
a cloak that somehow i see through
where others fall tripping on your
like weeds between flowers growing

Ink splashes across a moonlit nigh
Leaving an oil paintings texture
Turbid, its cloudless face shines
Moving silt, flourishing
A flowers rest from forced growth

falling
as the fingers of time do
like a naked gloveless hand
willing shadows to encroach it, de
that’s how we will it

Cabbage white butterfly
What tales could you tell
Flitting here and everywhere
Dancing through the air
Flying around my garden

recoiled from a verbal picnic
acid tongue fatigue sets in
gestures replace utterance
easier to mouth words unsaid

I have no forgiveness in my heart
just the tired soul of a vengeful
who’s wings were clipped long ago
and behind gritted teeth snarls
chained in the garden like a guard

black and white photographs
snapshots of a rare and happy time
a holiday in Wales
where the beaches are pebbled,
a week away in a caravan

Those shadows haunt you
pearl handled pins prick,
the darkest scum around your heart
that petulant spot where demons wa
speckled light from a broken chand

I’ve seen me through your eyes
And what a threadbare tapestry I’
The milks turned sour, the embers
As my ego wanders through this maz
Wild animals call and devour me wh

Oh sacred heart
Don’t let me suffer
Oh sacred heart
Don’t forsake my dreams
Oh sacred heart

This feeling I have is of complet
This is hopelessness coupled with
A wave of abject misery, falling
How can I wish I wasn’t here
This feeling I have of despicable

lurid, it shanks the body of my re
overpowering the apathy it breathe
verve is gone, steps creak heavy,
erstwhile lovers hang a foul effig
walls covered with the rage of sil

I have no retail value
no coven of worldly wealth,

there seems no edge to this sword
as it razors down to my neck,

How have I missed this
I’d forgotten how beautiful you ar
And I’m caught in you gaze
A lightening bolt to the eyeball
A thrust of electric rain

Nurse my broken wings back to life
They don’t work the way they shoul
For I’ve flown too close to the m
And scanned all the heavens above
I’ve journeyed beyond existence

popped balloons taped to the front
a twenty first birthday banner at
a living room full with one person
the low music playing won’t numb t
people invited seemed to not want

You will never see daylight if you
You will never win an argument if

You know nothing of the world beyo
Yet temerity is your passion as yo
You judge me by a philosophy gaine
I don’t demand respect or need it
You treat me as a fool, my feeling

pale comfort
you drip from my eyes
sweat from my nightmares
cradle me in dark fire
appeasing the shivers

Disruption, the art of interceptio
Distraction, the art of interactio
Delusion, the art of imagination,
Devolution, the art of immaturity,

useless emotions that cloud my eye

Tonight I ran my mouth away

Saliva rippled pools akin to acid,
Words with the lust of a vampires
Tonight I ran my mouth away

Honourable deeds

remorse just a world
dreamt in a flash
morphine for tears
