Judgement Day

To find out if

It’s eternal damnation

Is the worst kind

Of anticipation

is

worse

The Good Time Girl

If only I actually was

This little minx that I portray

I’d get my coat and hat

And without looking back

Go have myself a field day


Fuck Buddies

I
won’t
always
be
here,
you
know

For
when
you
feel
the

to
ask

Not
while
there
are
more
dicks
to
blow

And
other
glows
in
which
to

There’s Always One

I’m sure that we can all recount

How we met our lovers

But some such stories

Of our former glories

Are more significant than others

That Split Second

When I saw you
sleeping there

I couldn’t help
but stop and stare

Probably because
I was drunk too

Although nowhere
near as drunk as you

A Younger Model

Will you still love me

When I am old and grey

Will you still want me

To touch you in that way

Will you still need me

To kiss you goodbye each day

Or will you just find someone else

And simply walk away

The problem is

If I lay down

I’d no longer have an excuse

If I just stopped

And my guard dropped

Then all hell would break loose


Resurrection

If I
were
to see
you

I

So

I lay

And
nurse
my

It’s not like it wasn’t obvious

That I was depressed as fuck

Given all my talk,

I would’ve thought,

That was understood

The Mask

I have just gone back

To pretending now

Convincing you that I

Am worth it, somehow

I’ve worked too hard

To let it go to waste

As this persona has taken

A lifetime to create


The Truth

If you
knew
the
truth
about me

You
would
run
away
and hide

You
wouldn’t
waste
another
minute

On

When I stopped the anti depressants

My feelings of lust were incessant

My thirst for bad boys,

Conmen and cowboys

All came back with a vengeance

(Well, those on TV shows at least)

I Haven’t Got It In Me

I doubt I’d manage a short story these days

Never mind anything more

Writing three or four lines

Is a struggle at times

So a novel seems too much to hope for


Small Minds

One
day
I will
write
novels

All
about
you
and
me

Of
how
we left
those
hovels

And

Round And Round In Circles

I guess

Looking back

You can’t be sure

Why you did the things you did

Reflection, it seems,

Isn’t for the dead

It is the curse

For those who live


Happy

I
miss
you

I
miss
us

I wish we
could just
go back

To
how it
was

Before
all
of this

Before
things turned
to shit

And we
were
happy

Because
we were
happy

I
was
happy

Wasn’t I?

This one was a warning

To a guy who should’ve known better

He’d hurt my friend

So this rhyme I penned

To let him know how much he’d upset her

The Eclipse

It happened quite by accident

As when she left the tent that morning

There was no way she could have known

That a whole new era was dawning

But as they both sat drinking wine

With their connection forming

She began to realise, at last,

Her heart was capable of rewarming


The Lost (We)ekend

And although they played

They were

We both met up again last night

And as we held each other tight

We reveled in our connection to you

Before parting in the morning hue


Your Birthday

Yesterday
we
remembered

Together,

us two.

We laughed,
and smoked
and drank
too much beer.

Both of us
wishing you
were still

‘Nothing Else To Give’

I booked the day off work today

As I knew I’d want to be alone

I wouldn’t want to see anyone

Or even speak on the phone

It’s not that I’m ungrateful

Or I don’t appreciate the intent

But people just don’t realise

That, emotionally, I’m spent


Rest In Peace

Someone
sent me
flowers
today

And for
their
kindness
I was
thankful

But
I still
chucked
them
in the
bin

For of
condolences
I’ve had
a tankful
