Paramours

How many more lies

Do you think we’ll tell

Before we’re both sent

Straight to hell


No Witnesses

If no one saw

But us two

Then who is to say

It happened

If we promise

Never to tell

Then no one else

Need ever be saddened

It’ll Never Happen

If only there

Was a way

To make the dream

A reality

But any hope of that

Was cruelly dashed

When you upped

And left me


Nocturnal Naughtiness

You
were
in my
dreams
last night

We
kissed
longingly
by the
fire

And
although
I woke
with
contented
delight

It
didn’t
quite
quench
my desire

Happy To Oblige, M’lady

There’s no need to instruct me

I have no inclination to wait

Now that I know you trust me

On your pleasure I will fixate


A Bit Of Rough

Throw me onto the bed

Dear boy

Your body on mine impose

For a meeting of minds

Is not required

Let alone

An entwinement of souls

In The Library

I guess I’ve always felt

That little bit better

When I’m in amongst

Those words and letters

Safe in my own

Little fantasy world

Where my peace and quiet

Is undisturbed


The Window Seat

There’s
people,
people,
everywhere

Dashing
around
without
a care

Or,
at least,
that’s how
it looks

When I
glance up
from behind
my books

As I have beaten

My adversary

This will all end

In February


How Long?

How long
can you
go on
writing

When
your only
inspiration
is spite?

And now
you’ve had
to start
forgiving

So that
you can
sleep
at night

My Mind’s Eye

I found a way

In the end

I put them all in the bin

Now I only wince

If I catch a glimpse

Of those that I keep within


I Can’t Wait

I can’t
wait for
the day

When I
no longer
wince

At
every
glimpse

Of
your
photo

‘For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack’

– Rudyard Kipling

Frostbite

Even if I wanted

To get up

And seize the day

It’s far too cold

For one so old

Outside anyway


Anhedonic

Trying
hard
to
survive

This
thing
called
life

Hoping
to fend
off the
madness

Striving
to find

Some peace
of mind

Underneath
this
duvet of
sadness

From The Rooftops

They say I’d maybe get further

If I lowered my tone a bit

But there’s no way of keeping quiet

About all of his bullshit


Screaming

I know that it seems

A little strange

And it’s hard

To confabulate

But please believe me

When I say

It’s how I best

Communicate

Hereditary

And as you get older

Little by little

You begin to realise

That shit’s cyclical


Wars Of Attrition

Some people stay together

And hate every second of it

But as they’re bound by tradition

They put up with each others shit

They’re worn down day after day

But are far too scared to leave

For of a life full of happiness

They cannot possibly conceive

It Always Worked Before

Whether it’s from

The scars on my arms

Or from the words

That I have written

I think it may be best

If I take a rest

And go back

To keeping them hidden


Cutting

I scythe these words

Across the page

To allow my pain to flow

I find it leaves

Much less of a scar

Than some other ways I know

The Romance Of It All

No matter how

I try to improve

Or alter my behaviour

It seems I’m destined

To forever seek

The beauty in my failure


In Vain

Each
time
I try

I always
seem
to fail

Spectacularly

Viewpoint

All these years

I’ve been writing

Calling you each

And every name

But perhaps I’ve been mean

Because it’s actually been

My attempt

To shift the blame


Who Gives A Shit

Have
I done

The
wrong
thing
again?

I
suppose
only
time

Will
tell

Until
then
I’ll try

To keep
myself
sane

While
I prepare

To
burn
in hell

Minutiae

You think that when

Someone dies

It’s the big things

That you’ll miss

But what causes pain

To grieving brain

Is missing the small things

That they did


Even A Broken Clock Is Right Twice A Day

I can’t
even
change

The time
on the
oven

It’s just
one more
thing

I have
discovered

Since
you’ve
gone

Hush

What we did in that room

Despite our gloom

Certainly served its purpose

Now all those things we said

Lying in that bed

Need never again resurface


Unobtainable

Maybe one day we’ll meet again

And maybe one day we won’t

But one things for sure

It won’t be for much more

Than either of us had hoped

Debilitating

That really does sound lovely

She said

But I can’t come out to play

Depression wins again

She said

Much to my dismay


An Illicit Kiss

I can’t
think of
anything
more
exciting

Than
sitting
under
subdued
lighting

With
your
lips
pressed
to mine

That
feeling,
divine

Now
doesn’t
that
sound
inviting?

Living On The Edge

All those years

Spent with you

Silently

Being driven mad

But there’s no denying

(So it’s pointless trying)

That they were the best

I’ve ever had


Taking Things For Granted

I always
thought
being
with you
was hell

Seems
the boredom
of being
without you
is worse

Jusqu’à La Fin

I still loved you

Down to your bones

Even without

Those dulcet tones

spoken

Right
at
the

end

I’ll
miss
that
sound
forever

The

Turning Night Into Day

Sleep at 3pm

No problem

But at 3am

Not a chance

What the fuck

Is wrong

With me

That sleep

At night

Just won’t

Advance

Why should I bother
Going to bed
When there’s nothing

Missing The Bus

It seems I missed

The trip that day

You went

To the optimism farm

I was probably at home

With an ‘on silent’ phone

Sleeping soundly

Through the alarm


Optimism

If I
had
any
spare

I’d
give
some
to you

But
I only
have
enough

To
get
myself
through

Getting By

I know you put

A brave face on

I know as I did it

Myself

Not just because

You’re thinking of others

But more to protect

Yourself


Are You Okay?

I want to ask

But I’m far too scared

For I already know

As into those depths

I’ve stared

…In With The New

Who cares if I stayed in bed all day

Watching The World’s Strongest Man

I did it because I enjoy it

I did it because I can


Out With The Old…

At least yesterday

I missed your feast

It was always the part

I liked the least

Faking a smile

Whilst passing the peas

Thank fuck that now

I can eat in peace

On The Safe Side

Your question may have been rhetorical

She said

But I fear that you’ve angered fate

So you’d better take it back

She said

Before it proves to be too late

Silence

It’s funny to see

How a younger me

Struggled with her

Own company

Yet now I love

To live that way

On New Year’s Eve

Or any other day


For Whom The Bell Tolls

I’m not ashamed
to admit

I shed a tear or
two last night

As the clock

It was all

Stalled

We’ve reached that time

In our run

Where things are beginning

To come undone

Words once so profound

Are now old and cruddy

Our parts played mostly

By the understudy

It’s such a shame

To see it end this way

And that soon our house

Will stage a different play


Theatrics

Of the love

I feel for you

I have never been

More certain

So much so

It is now time

To drop

The safety curtain

So then we can

With a fiery gusto

Both just get on

With performing our show

I hope you don’t

Just mean your hair

But your personality too

For you’ve been such

A miserable cunt

Bringing
with it a
new look

I really
hope you
like it

Considering
