Loneliness (Remove filter)
IT'S HARD TO FIND LOVE
It's hard to find love when you're all alone
when the last train has left.
Like the walking dead
you wait for love
with no end in sight.
It's hard to be loved when you're lonely too
'cause everyone knows you missed that train
though it wasn't your fault
and the time's never right
when that last train has left
and the night lies ahead
when you're waiting f...

The Endless Pit
The crack of dawn, yet absent of light
Darker than the hours preceding
Only one could dread a new day
But it's a constant battle and endless fight
To rise from this dungeon
To enter this isolated Hell
The morning is slow, yet all too short
Lead weights on all limbs and eyes
No routine, but a mission
To begin each day, Only to distort
The true soul trapped inside
Ac...

KITCHEN PORTER
He left the kitchens every night
by scooter back to bedsit
many stairs to the top of the house
his only rise in life.
rear view mirror Park Lane
headlights
dreams of
cyprus.
Enraged, he pressed in the light, ascended the stairs
past doors for other lonely folk
sickly glow a ray of hope for
career advance.
All around his life a threat of Akrotiri,
love losing ...

DARK PANACEA
A crowded room
is such a lonely place,
wear a fragile mask
upon a weary face.
Everybody’s here
but there’s nobody there
and there’s nothing to do
except sit and stare.
The distant sounds
of joy and laughter
drifting like echoes
in dusty rafters.
As you slowly subside,
sinking way down low
and you're silently wondering
how far you can go.

The Hollow World
All that you invest is what may be won
it's just an echo coming back
and yet we hang in helpless wait
the hollow world rings on and on
Who can answer what you do not ask
low odds of someone calling out
just at the moment you need them to
the hollow world rings on and on
Those pretty faces, so carefully curated
those galleries of happinesses waiting
changeless irrespective of your fee...

half asleep
half asleep seems easy,
and i refuse to
read the news,
because
i'd rather be
half asleep
forever.

Our Valued Lawn
You only really win, having lost.
On the front lawn, all is identical until you notice it.
Every other blade you see its 50 shades greener than your own.
Those shades depend on light. Those blades gleam off light refracted.
Interesting...
Who has the light?
Every day you look, you stare, you glare
with a drink, with a book, with a chair, with a care.
Your care, carelessly, mi...
