Taster (poem)
May 8, 2012 – 6:30 pm
Let me introduce myself here With an aquatic air At once displacing that of fear Like the snap of a snare. Wet reverberation ticking The controversial box – The deep tones the buttons flicking: With all the stealth of fox. Pleasures heightened and pain muted Whilst the mind discusses The truth — where it once [...]
Incendiary Words (poem)
May 6, 2012 – 6:30 pm
Incendiary words fly from my mouth, Destroying what had taken months to breathe Life into. And so to the icy south Have I fallen: was I right to take leave? With time gorging on seconds as we wait For death to tear us from our comfort, Some of us pray; some of us hope for [...]
Psychoactive (sonnet)
May 1, 2012 – 6:30 pm
The melding of man and psychoactive: Pleasure. Sin. Bane. Hell. Ecstay. Heaven. The mind is art and our judgement’s sieve; Aesthetic choice, these days of ours seven. Muse to artist, temporary release From humdrum alienated minutes. The canvas of life siezed by a quick crease. Possession is the vice — when you’re its. Through smokey [...]
Ode to Resolve (poem)
April 30, 2012 – 6:30 pm
What threatens the mind more than no control? Sitting obediently with arms crossed As quiet as a mouse; blind as a mole: Yet paradoxical like sweating frost. Bringing with it the ominous warnings Of danger. A dark cloud then overhangs; The definition of a man stripped bare. I welcome new mornings Hoping for a peaceful [...]
Memorandum (poem)
April 27, 2012 – 6:30 pm
When times are scented with that air Where all is right, and strong, ‘Tis a difficult task to care To dwell on pain for long. As time drags away ecstasy And the great returns dull, ‘Tis challenging for us to see Our past, to which we mull. Hours spent in sullen, troubling thought, But where [...]
Vertigo
April 25, 2012 – 6:30 pm
Greatness is akin to patience – Everyone wants it, but Only a few are able – Realising this is the first step; Grinding is the next. In any case, effort is necessary At all times. What do I mean by ‘greatness’? It changes from time to time, but Longing is the signifier – Lusting, even, [...]
What I Want (poem)
April 23, 2012 – 6:30 pm
I want to write those words that make it Look easy, when it’s not. I want to inspire others to Write, instead of whine. I want to breathe relevance, Exude confidence, and inspire thought. I want to be a consequence. I want to block out that which frustrates me Until I can conquer it. I [...]
Ode to Oneself (poem)
April 22, 2012 – 6:30 pm
There is a thought which towers above most, Standing as a cliff overlooking all. The truth, the answer, protecting the coast. To seek it, worthy — be wary not to fall, For the height it allows — unknown danger. Be true to yourself, no matter critics: Ugly or kind; stand out or stay in line. [...]
Introspection Identification (poem)
April 21, 2012 – 6:30 pm
How can I leave true representation Of my like, my look, my laugh or my life? How can I hope to resist temptation And stay true to my ideals and my wife? The appeal of success glimmers at night, Others parading their wealth and dress sense Whilst the unlucky majority fight – Well, they fought. [...]
