"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
I wonder
If today
Will be the day
You call
To tell me
That you need me
And how you’re aching
For it all
So I’ll sit here
And wait
Making sure
The line is clear
Because yours
Is the only your voice
I am desperate
To hear
“Love at first sight, to me, sounds like suffocation or stalker material.”
– M.Snyder @ martist1970.com
And when
I decide
To end it
Know there was nothing
You could’ve done
I just never, ever
Felt happy
I didn’t know how
To have fun
“Burn my body. Let the ashes blow. I am free.”
– Tommy Shelby
A simple girl
With simple needs
Willing to wander
Through the weeds
Searching for something
True to find
While leaving all
Her doubts behind
It’s hard
To know
What to say
Let alone
What to post
In fact
Never before
Have I been
So sure
About giving
Up the ghost
I wrote to you
The other day
As I find the words
Too hard to say
So I thought a note
The best way to approach it
That is, of course,
If I ever post it
I’ll never have
The perfect body
I’ll always be
An imperfect soul
So to get through each day
Without further decay
That
Is the fucking goal
Never Give Up
Don't give up now
He said
You have come so far
The moment you give in
Is the moment
You fuck up
You can't afford to regress
He is not there to catch you
When you fall flat
On your pretty face

Stranger Danger
The night our worlds collided
So different and yet the same
I lost myself in your eyes
Without even knowing your name
You were merely a stranger
Who stole my heart
In the most dangerous way
Now I am searching
For a glimpse of you
And the space we once shared
In a crowded square

It Is What It Is
From what happened
Between us last night
I have a feeling
This has potential
I even contemplate
to stay for breakfast
skip work
and love on you more
But after my first cigarette
I realised
for our art to be perfect
I must play the escape artist
once more
You see I cannot give you
What you want
Unless we can agree
To take it slow
I may not be sure
Of many things
But my fear of love
I know
If that's not enough for you
We'd better call it quits
Not everything has a happy ending
Life can be a hit and miss

Back in the day
The words flowed freely
And I knew just what
To impart
But I’ve recently found
Since my new love’s in town
That for poems,
I’m no longer arsed
If love was permanent
And grief temporal
Perhaps I’d feel safe
And less conjectoral
Inspired by Cassa Bassa at flickerofthoughts.com
Why don’t you come along
They said
We’re going for coffee and cake
To force such joy upon me
She said
Would only be a mistake
IF ONLY
Why are you still fucking talking
Because the words out of my mouth have meaning
Yet your homespun philosophy bores me
At least I don’t feel compelled by needless preening
Do you think that this is it?
That our relationship is built on shit ?
Well, it’s you that cannot follow instruction
You know what ? I’m done, I quit !
I hope that isn’t an attempt at seduction
If only.

“Touch And Go”
were i to ask
for truth,
which would
you spin?
The kind that
pushes
back…
or lets me in?

“Untitled”
time coasts past
like clouds of
dream
sweet spoken words
lost in-between
the truth’s not
really what it
seems,
so often bared,
but seldom
seen.

“But My Eyes Still See”
not every quiet’s
golden,
some grow rank
with mold,
blue blooming
with decay
with truths we’ve
fail to say.

“Not Too Rough”
she said she wasn’t
built for this
but was too smitten
to resist the risk,
stating “let’s just see what
happens”
numb from being flattered
and then flattened
by the well meaning
hands
of some overly
eager
man.

For all these thoughts
To make sense
It seems
They need
An audience
I just needed
A bit of a break
For both my heart
And my minds sake
But now I’m back
Make no mistake
As there are both knives to sharpen
And old coals to rake
I don’t care if it’s now
I don’t care if it’s later
Because now I know
Which way you’ll go
On the day you meet your maker
The Reckoning
If you
can’t
bear
to see
the hurt
you’ve
caused
Then
feel
free
to
look
away
For
I know
that
guilt
will
fuck
you up
And
you’ll
face
the
truth
one day

Well thank fuck for that
She said
As she walked away
With her empty head
Fair And Square
One
thousand
poems
And I am
finally
done
This
battle is
now over
And my
war has
been won
(Originally Posted 29.02.2020)
Yet after all
That pushing
And shoving
Saying sorry
Actually
Changes nothing
‘All Apologies’
One down,
A thousand to go.
This shit is harder
Than it looks,
You know.

Neither of us
Can speak the truth
As both of us have
Too much to lose
In(sin)cerity
You claim
that
you
have
got it
rough
Well
on that
I call
bullshit
As I’m
the one
who’s
doing
it tough
You
fucking
hypocrite
(Originally Posted 29.02.2020)
I watch you from
Across the room
And see your face fill
With dread
If only you
Could see what I do
And quiet that voice
Inside your head
Internal Monologue
What the fuck
is wrong with you?
Just cheer up,
you miserable cunt
Your wallowing
is excruciating
And your self
pity an affront
(Originally Posted 29.02.2020)
It wasn’t really
What you did
That was so cold hearted
And ruthless
It was the look of pride
In your eyes
That I always found
The cruellest
E(strange)d
You can say
what you want
But you’re
still a cunt
Your actions
I cannot forgive
For I’ll bear
the brunt
Of your
audacious stunt
For as long as
we both shall live
(Originally Posted 28.02.2020)
That’s the problem
With the past
As humans,
We tend to rose tint it
When in actual fact
If we really look back
It wasn’t quite like
How we wished it
Misrepresentation
The old days
Weren’t that good
Trust me,
I remember

They say that art
Mirrors life
And my case
That was true
I decided
To stay with him
When I should
Have chosen you
Somewhere In Madison County
With one
hand
pressed
against
the door
I try
to work
out who
I love
more
And in
that split
second
I decide
to stay
I
throw
my chance
of happiness
away
(Originally Posted 27.02.2020)
Perhaps I should climb
A mountain
Or sail off
On a round the cruise
Anything to relieve
This having to grieve
After all,
What have I got to lose?
‘I Could Be Wrong / I Could Be Right…’
The
pressure
is on
to find
meaning
In
this so
called
life of
mine
But
I just
can’t
help but
feeling
That
it’s a
total
waste
of time
(Originally Posted 27.02.2020)
It’s not
That you have
The audacity
To wear
My doorbell thin
It’s more
The fact
That I’m powerless
To act
And can’t help
But let you in
‘… Such Sweet Sorrow’
Every
time
we
say
goodbye
I wish
that
you
would
stay
For
another
part
of my
soul is
crushed
Each
time
you
walk
away
(Originally Posted 27.02.2020)
I know you think
You can change me
That your kindness
Will be enough
But trust me when I say
There’s been too much decay
For my heart to be capable
Of love
Bad Seed
I
wish
there
was a
way
To
make
you
see
That
good
boys
like
you
Aren’t
for
bad
girls
like me

Fuck knows why
I picked a zoo
I couldn’t think
Of anything worse
Starting something
Amid such abuse
Could only prove
To be a curse
Swipe Right
How’s
about
it
Just
us
two
Fancy
a
walk
Visit
the
zoo
Get
a
beer
Eat
some
food
Spend
the
night
Being
terribly
rude
