Lonely beat

You snap and I crumble

we are each other's weakness

you drop and I tumble

the other's only sweetness

we're tangled in the bleakness

while thriving in the heat 

our shadows dance together 

to the moonshine's lonely beat

The Silent Instrumental

The silent instrumental

a lament of inward instruments

the slow beat of past beasts and

foreword to empty space of

future's haste and hesitation 

dedication to the sound 

and silence ungrounded 

inaction for a fraction of the

time it took to be swept up

in your full orchestral song

here I belong eternal yet

I still sway to silence's 

tight grip inadequate

I yearn for morning silence

but in roll the saxaphone

circus to scatter my

purpose and sing

 

The performance has begun

step forwards

Sat on the edge

Observing oblivion

Legs dangle

Empty space

Drop stretch

Light years

Beneath me

Poised

Numb to watch

Bedlam unfold

Clung to rock

Face reality

Continuum

As it crumbles around me

Slight move cause

Rain like fall

As it decays

My island decreases

Im losing my pieces!

Im scattered by the wind

Echo emanate

As each pebble

Once upon a time

Once upon a flimsy time

One quiet similar to mine

A smog stricken

Tower block kingdom

Ticks by

The curling grey

Curdles in the mouths

Of the suffering

Cough up blood

Pennies and guts

Down trodden muts

Keel under the pressure

Two eyed monsters roam

And the mechanical

Beasts groan

Spitting ever thick

Poison all the way home.

November Fog

Old hallows
You’ve thrown me again!
Off kilter 
Splinter mind
Chaos
First glimpse of
Thin veil
Delicate
Rise and fall
Shrill damp cry

November fog forever
Rustle slender leaves
Kick brown brittle
Crunch and curse
Guy Fawkes
Let’s burn them all!

November fog descends
Explode around me
Simultaneous combustion
Of the heart and mind
In all ways

Heart sings as it 
Breaks and...

The Bar Maids Brittle Bliss

I've stolen five minutes of this crisp and quiet night

The crackle soothes my brittle ears and

I smoke through my bones

No quality of silence here

I still hear hum and bustle behind glass wall

The boxes rattle by my right

Are rife with swollen faces and brittle brains

as my own trying to find their way home

They won't get there

not this time round

Dry lips and dry han...

Delusions

Dancing delusions flutter by my butterfly brainbox, shine before my eyes white crystalline orb whisp and brittle broken train of thought, gentle back and forth beat of the wings swarm before eyes begin to process colour I see flecks and hear your dance, your version of events makes no sense how can it? These half formed musing bore out of me every pore in my skull wracked with rage and romance exu...

Old Change

Powder my nose old aquantances 

familiar faces and damp thriving places

I've gotta pace this but 

every change is change 

coin caranage and 

Im tryna rearrange my 

process and structure a new

Its in the little morning dew 

bell few things that ring crisp

and shine out silver tones adjustment

through my rust is

Old Moon Blues

Autumnal animal

Skitting and skatting

That cat’s got it

Jazz hibernation

Skipping brass swing

Mammal trumpets fascination

You soulful thing!

Vibration limbs fling

Courageous beast beat in

Your bones

I need it

Shake through me

Old moon blues

A verse to light or lunar ode

Did I just see a shooting star or was that a fire fly?

Whatever glory brightness lies 

light up my flippant lustful skies 

and tearing thoughful feeling buys

a little time as we grow wise

 

We are but ageing sage brush squanderers 

and in each shallow breath we grow

were meerly but fitfull moonlight ponderers 

and with the fire burn we flow

 

Did I just see a shoot...
