Little Bird
Little bird,
Little bird, little bird
the one with the broken wing.
Little bird, little bird,
come over here - i'll help you.
Fix you up, help you chirp and maybe one day to sing.
Little bird, little bird
Don't be afraid
Little bird, Little bird
I'll come to your aid.
Little bird
when you're feeling strong,
spread out your beautiful feathered...

The village idiot
Listen here,
She cut off her ear my dear, her ear.
My dear,
She cut of her ear!
But now I can only shout so loud,
She might not be able to hear-
Dreadful as the pie at noon
You know it will never be apple,
Grapes that ripen at sour spoon
The prostitute left the chapel.
Duke, the duke howls the horn
Twit too-woo
The night is now dawn.
Blinking eyes ...

Splash Skies
Two little red blobs.
Crouching on the ground.
One looks up.
The other looks down .
Blue was the sky.
Grey was the day.
Iv’e had enough.
What can i say?
Is it early?
Is it late?
I try not to contemplate.
I just watch-
Then wait-
They never leave.

Another penny another pound
Natures vines cradle the industry
Black ice slides us into decline.
Amongst the rubble broken fish struggle up the banks.
Mothers watch their flock by night not knowing what to do.
One bean sprout said jack .
A patch work quilt and a two pence piece.
Keep saving , save , saved.
Nothing but a barrel of laughs and a harlequin of delights.
Rattle the cage.
Shine the torch in their eyes and t...

Midnight
Blurring the spectrum.
Acid , Alkaline or just plain neutral.
A dance of ghostly shadows , scar the corner.
Slow motion.
Echos fade.
Look left.
Look right.
Left again just to make sure.
Fuck it.
Eyes closed.
Restless.
Pale air.
Choke.
Breath.
The key boards left on.
A clock fucked up time.
Sleep .
Impossible.
Spider webs sweep up the black.
Monotone.
Stop.
Eyes
Stop.
Blind.

Death
Death is a donkey parting graves on a field.
Death is the coldness between you and the duvet.
Death is the river below the bridge to the other.
Death is the cracks between night and day.
Death is a place that is never seen.
Eternal bliss of hope and madness-
In its decline-
Carpe Diem
(It was nice to meet you)

A new race
The collision of a new race
Similar faces,
Different ambitions
They all face the same path ahead.
Moaning Stereotypes.
Being in so much debt,
Some eyeballs will eventually pop out.
Pub crawls-
Egotistical men grunting
Their mating calls.
The salty air crisp with the smell,
Of garbage from the flat window.
It’s not my city
It’s ours.
Over po...

Norm
Cardboard cut outs, emotionless with the times.
It’s a new city.
A new generation.
Not a revolution just a communist depression.
Rustic buildings with a withered ageing look of desperation.
Its windows smashed, tired eyed.
Brown, rusty and humiliating.
Smirking in its arrogant glory.
Shameful really.
A blank canvas like the body has its twists and turns.
People,...

Silence on a hard mattress
I am
Who
I am
Because
Of
Everyone.
The thought
Of
Losing you,
Makes
Me:
Nothing-
You
Are
A Lady
Tied
To her
Manners-
I could
Cut
Lose your
Strings
And
Build a
Book wall
Between our-
Bed!
Eat Knowledge

Slide Down
Count down
Dirty ticket dance special –
Around the sun and moon
Anchor
Corset high
Staring eyes –
Sharp as your stiletto.
Follow me around the pole-
Bend over,
Jump
and
Roll
On the black and red chess board,
Whisper,
Nibble me
Hook, line and sinker.

Shadows
Open space around me.
I’d rather be behind glass.
Trapped like a shadow.
Nervousness crept like a rash.
Borders block the light.
Corners seize the day.
A hermit crab I am.
Snails come to play.
Windows are soul.
Open I’d rather be closed.
Me myself and I.
Our sandcastle has lots of holes.
Bridge to the other.
Away under the bed,
Curiosity kil...

The Crawl
Set in stone
My prescription
Taunts -
Stay away from the grave.
It starts-
I freeze a little
Then a lot
My mind a hazy fog,
Little things to move the eye
I wait-
I watch.
Her
Paralysed.
Her body
Possessed by the son of Adam!
It’s fine to recline on the flat of the spine,
With never a thought in one’s head.
But when I want you so ...

Confessions
I want to drop you,
Into the ocean with my palm,
The waves are strong –
Blue, blue, blue more-
Blue
Three girls free float,
Down,
One holds five different,
Sized balloons
Black, white, red, yellow –
Blue
One white hearted child plays,
Madame Jojo is waiting-
To swallow her tears,
Black tears.
Your broken
Geisha mask
Blue, Black eyed horse

Stirrer
Alone
She sits
Never stands
Hours pass
Snakes
Of lace
She looks to the floor-
Eyes fixated on the cracks.
Alphabet jumble words ablaze
No moral meaning insight
Grey as the iron clad on the tracks-
Blab BLAB her tongue slithers with delight
Frustrated, her finger nails- snap!
Scented candles cry

Showtime
Take off your top hat.
Greet the ladies with a sincere smile.
Bow to them.
Do not let them see your chest!
Perform
Tease them,
You ARE a boy
I AM a girl-
Lift up your chin,
Let me sink my teeth,
Deep, into your Adams apple
My boy,
I’ll rot you to the core.
Mine, my doll, my darling-
Let me twirl your tight curling locks
I am hidden,
...Monday 8th August 2016 8:57 pm
Three is a crowd
A love heart fizzes on my tongue
EAT ME –
Meaningless messages come undone,
BITE ME!
There are water marks on this glass,
Lipstick marks and a chip.
Presentation, please for my Shiraz.
Celebrating a night out – I bite my lip.
Couldn’t you resist?
As the night ends
I have worked the usual eight.
Why didn’t you tell me before?
Your ‘friend’ is staying o...

Behind closed doors
Please,
Take a seat
Sit comfortably,
Pick up a book
Make yourself at home
Can you see me through the telephone wire?
I am waiting for your call
READ
Get lost,
Between the pages
Fall asleep
Dream
Dream about those pages –
I wrote for you
WAKE UP
Leave that seat-
Come into the other room
I am here, waiting.
The curtains are...

Body Parts
Loop the loop
Pull that knot
Attach my button eyes,
See me
Wink.
Smile-
Nod, my Jack in a box head
Bound to a neck of copper springs
Let me sing
And
Wave-
My floating foam hands,
Kick my Pinocchio legs
And
Dance –Dance- Dance
On
Tiny crippled plastic feet.
I am alive
Reborn!
Do you think I am beautiful?
Monday 8th August 2016 8:47 pm
Write that article,
That SNAPS
Pencils in your sleep-
A-Z
Rolling off the tip
Of
The
Tongue!
HISS
Tip
Toe
TAP!
Spit or swallow,
Out the lies ...
