love (Remove filter)
It's easier not to love
Sometimes it’s better when you don’t have to love,
Easier when she just doesn’t give a fuck,
She said I didn’t play the pornstar, and that’s a good start,
But tonight we’ll agree neither of us have a heart.
And like a weight that’s been relieved,
Like new lungs still waiting to breathe,
There’s no pressure, or so I made myself believe.
So in the morning you can just get up and lea...

The Penultimate Battle
It’s has always been easier to slay us
With your obedient insecurities
Cheerfully devoted to poetic doom
You speculate, create and anticipate
A wheel of fortune that spins in your tomb
Lashing and flaying against happiness
You claw and spit against the lid
Of exhausted insight and recognition
Crying out against comprehension
With a scream of lies and unravell...

Thoughts Are Things
Thoughts are things
Not things that disappear when your mind is closed
Or a wave of energy that fades away
Oh no, thoughts are things
They’re here to stay
So when I see you face to face
I take that vision place to place
And when I’m tired and sleeping fast
That thought is with me in my dreams
Because thoughts are things
They’re here to stay

Untitled
Withered flowers fastened to a wasting bench,
Its plaque and pickled paint are weathered long.
The buckled slats curl flecks on harshest winter's freeze.
Where age defies intent to which it did belong.
As passers-by whom in their daily cues entrenched,
They, wrapped in woolen shields, look blindly on
And notice not the broken petals on the breeze,
Nor sense the echo of a parted...

the Bright Side to Each Other's Moon
12/1/12
Ripples in the water. Forever bouncing. The transformation from Sea to Land. The water. a Constant Surge. Pulsating Tides. those Building Blocks. Keeping a foundation grounded. The inspiration behind the pen.

Nesting
Clearing drawers
On that side of the bed
And putting things back again
The bathroom isn’t done
Fuck.
The garage isn’t cleared
I hope his car fits in
Big lack of wardrobe space
Fuck.
He has got so many clothes
Where would they go?
It’s his wedding anniversary next month
So what kind of new madness is this?
Ho...

I Miss You
Hello there,
Angel from my nightmares.
Devil from my dreams
a grey spirit that weaves
its way through my existence.
What a Dementor does to souls
or a Dalek to a human heart.
Even a superhuman heart
can break.
Just ask Logan,
a force so strong
a returning phoenix
could not reignite remnants.
I miss you.
Whatever yo...

One for the couple at the back
Reflected in my beer
A face appears
That I haven't seen in years.
Says he's just had his heart broke,
So I offer him a smoke
And an attempt at a joke.
Through ambient amber hazes
We discussed the settled dust
And how we'd performed on our seperate stages.
How he'd backflipped
Into a basket,
That became a funeral casket.
I s...

Suspicion
Your mood swoops up and down. A zigzagged bat to my twilight
you forage on blood and nectar, then fly home again to roost.
Slowly stealing our sleep and holding our dreams apart, a deity
of doubt covets the forthcoming clamour of kitchen sink drama.
My credence that I love you with a passion she cannot match,
with a depth she cannot reach, with a strength she cannot ...

March Is In Love
Winter was admired by March all night
He walked with her along the snowy paths
But her daughter captivated his sight,
With her he dreamed to have the baths.
In ruffled feelings he came back in the mornings
Becoming tipsy of the night’s vision.
He didn’t care about any warnings.
And his fate had quite another decision.
His darling was the spring ...

Equinox
“I love this bed” you sigh. Half clambering, half enticing.
Socks fly chaotically towards carefully folded suit trousers
on the stair banister outside our door. Seductively deluded
domestic comfort. We mock the coupling joggers sweating and panting.
Beating the towpath in desperate lust for a BMI of whatever. We know
a much better way to keep the pounds off by keeping poundi...

minnow
the water is cold
as I dip my hand
silver-eyed -
a minnow
approaches
my fingers open
my hand
is a cup
the minnow
visits
the minnow
means
everything
to me
magic and fleeting
a mercury being
the whole world
echoing
within
his scales

I'm to leave now
By: Ali Taha Alnobani
I'm to leave now
A tall ghost is carrying my bag
A long street is walking behind me
A mad merchant bought my smiles
And no water to renew the dusk
I can't have my step begun
Even if the rain washed my tears
***
I'm to leave now
Can I have a deep look at your eyes?
Can I take my dreams, your smile
And my dried red rose?

The Strawberry woman
By: Ali Taha Alnobani
I know, strawberry has charm
But this time, it is a moon in spring temples
A Call beaming in the morning
And a mascot painted on god's arm
Your lips proclaim another speech
About angels ceremony for love
Which conduct there in paradise
Over fire, under ice
Near the golden beach
That nobody can reach
***
I know strawberry has...

Waves (A Final Letter Home)
I lie and let the waves wrap 'round my feet,
As midnight skies perform the second act,
Where black and blue so effortlessly meet
And force the waters cold around my back.
I feel the sand bequeath my buried toes;
To let the grit defy my sodden skin
And as the open door to my soul grows
I let the frothy waters trickle in.
The moonbeams push my head into a daze
And buckle up t...

The Cottage II
Where are we now
Back to square one
Thrown to the beginning
Or have we moved on?
As the season changes
The cycle does reap
An autumnal harvest
That tastes just as sweet
There’s no place like home
Unearthed and unearthly
insecurity and fear still roam
Driven, dark and dirty
Trying to live the dream
Fucking, fighting and broken
