I've worked in factories, hospitality, cleaning, until my knees and mind went 😅 living a much quieter life, posting stuff I write/make. Irish poet living in Glasgow, I make collages! Just doing my best to help anywhere I can to support artists/activists 💚

So, for context, for any new folks, I'm pretty much self-taught in everything, not here for profit, just hoping to inspire others if possible, share others' talent when I can. The poems I'm sharing from books I've since taken off amazon in protest. Just gonna throw it all out here for free.

You live,
on the tip of my tongue,
dance,
on the tingle of my skin,
tremble,
on my aching lips;
you’re my fever,
my itch,
my earworm I can’t drop,
my poems I can’t finish;
every breath, moment
becomes a longing
for you
and I’m haunted,
I’m taken
by you

let the inhibitions fall
a touch a whisper
clothing slides slowly
to the floor
at first soft and elegant
the hunger deepens
a fever takes hold
an unsated craving
the night stills
the slow dance begins

I am the silence
Of all the empty rooms,
Isolation's muse.

To add more clothes, breaths catching
In autumn's death throes.

Desire's inferno,
Glowing warmth of love, the fire
Lives inside us all.

Slams down, temperatures drop,
Scarves and hats abound.

Of pain, a sick parody,
Theatre of war.

For #poemsabout #desire @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk Three faces of desire:
Allow Me to see the skull in your passion the teeth in your desire to caress the bones of your delight the sinews of your breath to delve the niches of longing the cleft of floods My Freezing Desire for you clichés my words. We shiver as we touch. Each caress brings striations of ice over skin, blood bubbles to the surface. Our cold air stretches our lungs makes it hard to breathe. My body is alabaster, yours marble. Sex is a fridge turned up highest. Someday we must defrost. We Must Damage Each to feel anything for one another. I take this razor and cut your cheek until it bleeds. You reply with a needles stab in my leg. The blood drips as we continue our intimate conversation. Clearly this is most intense love and desire.

We took what was not ours
from another's table—
devouring it whole,
so that no one could
reclaim it...
