Poet. Movie geek. Dramatic but lazy. Wistfully nonchalant. Passionately disinterested in oxymorons.

A giant blood filled bouquet
Dripping in roses.

Since I was a kid
I've been allergic
to loudness—
motorbikes,
traffic lights,
noisy trains,
beeping sounds,
car horns,
slammed doors,
blaring tunes—
noise, noise,
more & more
& as I get older
I find it harder
& harder
'cause all I want,
all I ever want,
is just a little more
Quiet.

Work to Live
Labour lifts us from the ground,
Whilst machines are ever bound,
We seek moments more profound.
We clock out for sunsets' hue,
Robots clock for eons through,
Never knowing skies of blue.

When broken waves
Bounce #bouncy on seas
To shores of forgotten promises
Shadowing tides gasp
To reach the sky for mercy
Before hearts sink forever-lie
Treasures under the sea
Precious so out of grasp
Broken promises broken sea shells
Sandcastles tear away

It was not the sum
of what came before
brought me to your door
it wasn't by threading
the bones of the past
I arrived in your arms
nor was it a feast
of earlier foibles
took me to your table
it was walking steadfast
along a future path
led me straight
to your heart.

As you watch the time,
those hands dancing
to a hypnotic beat,
seeing an abundance
of hours & minutes,
seconds that seem
infinite—
don't forget to look
away & get on
with living
because either way,
looking or not,
the time ticks
and you
don't
ever
get
it
back.

In days gone by
we'd court lawlessness
for a mind-blowing high
now, more inclined
to consult the rule book—
thumb its pages
curled up on the couch,
stemming the urge
to go wild
but sometimes
the high highs
come calling,
& we give in
'cause to live each day
run of the mill
is a slow way
to die.

We stood beneath
a portentous dusk—
deep topaz & ruby
made a
swirling cauldron
of the sky
& cawing rooks
warned of dark magic
all about us
a flash of lightning
bewitched us
into a stolen kiss
& as
the thunder clapped
our fate was sealed—
no matter
our doom would be
together.
