Twist the bag at its top, weighed down In grams of stress: for when “to drown” Becomes an option, when you stand alone – When your flaws are seen, and wounds are deep… On one battered knee, but never in the quicksand seep; There’s no escape; only onwards, alone. Words float within your head, A [...]

D.E.W. (poem)
February 21, 2012 – 6:30 pm
Drop Everything and Write. * * * Hiding inside, masked by the shadows of your former self. Someone loved you once; who’s to say you’ll be loved again? If only it was a simple progression. No ups and downs, Just straight lines and answers; why cycles, smiles, frowns? People like to splash money, like the [...]
Extradition (poem)
February 20, 2012 – 6:30 pm
When is giving up the right way out? Everything poured in, every thought distilled. Incredible feelings, I thought we were close… When your spirit is filled and you’re over your lows, I’m wondering where justice is. I’m filled With questions: only whispering when I need to shout. Don’t you know this situation will always repeat? [...]
Romantique (poem)
February 19, 2012 – 6:30 pm
An inner smile, we fight for it always. A decade can pass, spent in lonely hallways. The only child runs loops inside his brain Never moving a muscle, and he thinks he’s insane. I’ve searched for peace in so many places, But all I’ve found are tear-stained faces. That was true until you made your [...]
Declaration of War (poem)
February 17, 2012 – 6:30 pm
Chastizing words, ice-cold delivery – You felt confident; but can you live with me? Hypocrisy falls like acid rain, dissociating sense From reality. You antagonised — do you have a defence? You can joke and make light of the scene, But will you cower when faced with the obscene Nature of a man pushed past [...]
Mirror — Night (poem)
February 16, 2012 – 4:24 pm
These are the pecs; wide spreading fans. This is my blood, from my heart to my hands. These are my triceps, three-headed and strong – These are my bones, some short and some long. Inside sits my brain, wherein lies my mind. It can feel, it can plan — and it can hurt. Take a [...]
Mirror — Day (poem)
February 15, 2012 – 6:30 pm
Sun-kissed awakening, a tingle runs up my spine, Everything seems better now, even the mirror smiles Back, when I question my features for a sign. What’s to come, who’s on my side, what trials Lay still and wait, to shock and pierce? It doesn’t matter, now life’s thrilling, bright. What’s gonna bring me down? Some [...]
Unbound (poem)
February 13, 2012 – 6:30 pm
I am not the man you want to upset. This is not the girl I loved when I first met. Taking things to heart, it’s what I excel in – You play on my weaknesses; what’re you trying to win? I’m done with crying, I’m sure you are too. So why inflame? Why aggravate? I’ll [...]
Some Shine in Sunshine (lyrics/poem)
February 12, 2012 – 6:30 pm
Tired. I’m tired. People always saying “the recession, That’s why you need to pay respect”. It’s their obsession. You tired? Me too. Summertime now, all I wanna do Is relax, sip pear cider, get a tan — how about you? Public houses, they’re closing down — and why? Recession. I say fuck it, don’t let [...]
