This time the birds are a cacophony,
The cold air too sharp.
Solitude and peace have become loneliness and deafening silence that crushes,
And I'm soothed no more.

red rage rising

dead black falling

skin scraped clean and

scant bones crawling

eyes are bleeding

ears not hearing

mouth sewn shut and

fingers pleading

dripping life-drops

broken limbs flop

love it when the

beating heart stops.

Switch on the dark,
it's the right place to be.
Embraced in the black
that's reflected in me.
I can stop.
Stop with the thinking,
the feeling of sinking,
the sense that the whole world
around me is shrinking,
I am not.
Ignoring the noises,
not listening to voices,
denying my choices,
I am done.
Undone.

I think I want to paint the shed
perk it up with a nice, bright red.
But then I'll have to do the fence
and that all adds to the expense.
And then I'll have to do the wall
but I can't afford to do it all.
Then there's flowers
those I need.
Pots and soil and yes, seeds.
Painted rocks and veggie box
water feature? Maybe not!
Then I'd like to build a deck,

Locks slide home

and the walls they grow

Brick by brick

and the break is slow

I am shortened

Caught in distortion

Thoughts fleet by of

a floating death.

I am choking

Drowning in tears

Locks released

The laughter of a child and a baby's cry

The buzz of a bee as it flies on by

The thrum of the motorway a little way off

and the gravely scratch of an old mans cough

The creak of the fence as it rocks in the breeze

The comforting shush of whispering leaves

The drone of a plane and a car door bang

and the radio noise of fans in the stands

Sycamore babies twirl hard to the ground

echo the death fall of a doomed black hawk down,

see the mare’s tail

it drift with an ease

 accustomed to yellow grass

fondled by breeze.

Sun is set

and I remain here.

Frozen in time.

A time when we knew us.

A time when the sun shone

long in the day, smudging

its shadows, begging to stay

in our hearts.

Hi

I am posting this for a friend of my hubby who has just started a weekly podcast. He's a good lad who used to play in a band with Mark so show some support and get your submissions in . It's mostly for new unsigned bands but they are looking to include spoken word performance too.

I have had 'I Disappear' published!!

It's in a book called ' Uplifting Moments' , published by United Press. It will be available in shops from 2012 and contains loads of other great pieces by other people.

Aside from the fact that mine is in it, it is a great book, and seems so far, to have something for everyone. See United Press' website for more info if you're interested. They also ...

I'm alive
fresh, like a virgin
Surfacing,

I want to start something

I'm falling away from me
into the grooves
What do you want from me,
with your western eyes?
The truth is miles away
in the land of confusion.
Am I Evil?

fold yourself and feel me
sink yourself to my depths
and try to swim
swallow your own sickness
and try to breathe

try not to break
be what i need
and try to stay

Liar!
Fronting your fear behind
fanned feathers,
bloating your breast
to boost your boast.
How you cheat me!
Don't you know your
rainbow isn't real?
Screaming to
sightless spectators,
toe-trampling to
the top spot.
Pretender!

Don't you know you're
cousin to a turkey?

In turmoil,
tremors ripple below the surface.
Shuddering,
jolting through an unfurnished heart.
Cracks appear,
figments and thoughts creep out,
slick and vindictive.
Fixtures and fittings strewn,
mania sets in,
flagrant and blind yet sincere.
Stumbling onward,
torpid, into the gulf.

I saw myself today

Through eyes I’d never used

I had to turn away

Startled by the truth

I hate the me I am

Ashamed that this is Me

I made the me I am

Created what you see

The more I paint my eyes

In shades of black and grey

The more I see the lines

Deepen everyday

They write the things I’ve done

They tell what I can not

They name mistakes ...

the eyes of the world are staring
following my every move
everybody's scrutinising
judging the roads that i choose

the eyes of the world never see me
i'm hiding behind a cracked mask
they only see what i show them
nobody bothers to ask

sometimes my hurt spills all over
nobody knows what to do
somewhere within i am dying
sometimes, i dont get to choose.

She didn't tell

She didn't know

She was just a child

A child lost

in a grown up world

Confused

Accepting.

She couldn't tell.

She couldn't know.

She was just a child.

A child not guilty.

Can't be blamed

Can't be shamed.

I was just a child.

Silver on china, you abuse my ears

The pins and needles you leave me

You infect me.

Riddled with you,

i sailed to no-mans island
in a raft made for two
i never said that i was going
but i guess i always knew.
i took a book about survival
but all the pages blew away,
had a compass in my pocket
but the needle wouldn't lay.
so i walked along the shoreline
heading for a some-no-where
and as i looked beyond my shoulder
i saw no footprints there.

Death-blooms rest upon loam
as shifting zephyrs whisper requiem.
Grieving thunderheads split,
unfolding obscurity and
saddening the horizon.
The velveteen succor of night
abandons without regret
and i am left alone to resent the day.

I am my own undoing.
A constant unravelling in myself,
too long to wind up again.

Too many threadbare holes,
revealing my dead heart,
letting the black spill out into you.

Gather up these fibres,
knit the ends if you can.
Cauterize me.

Clouds burst
and as the songbird sings its lullaby
my tears begin.

In Cimmerian shade,
lonesome and fragmented,
i let myself fall.

Engulfed by frigid water,
skin taut and sallow,
my thoughts become void.

Drowning in a sea of tragedy,

engulfed by relentless waves of

heartache and despair,

I fill my lungs.

Burning deep inside as I am

removed,

loose-limbed and euphoric,

I fall towards the blackness of release.

Numbing cold creeps through

my waning heart, stopping the hurt

and I cry,

tearless and relieved.

Windows that never wore glass
let the cold in more than ever.
Outside, the dried-up moat
offers no protection,
vulnerable, we suffer.
Cracked between the bricks
and crumbling fast,
these castle walls are falling.
Exposed, we shrivel,
shrink back against the cold, hard floor,
self-afflicted and pitiful,
resigned to ruin and shame.
Surrounded by walls that stand no more.

crimson-lipped viper smile
and sly-fox eyes fail to mask your
contempt.
Nose tipped to the wind, self
importance adds height to your
stature yet we see only vanity.
Undeserved and over-blown.
False-fronted, you strain to better
the rest, turning tail when you dont,
hiding 'til your next new thing.
Marigolds to dust the shrubs and
baubles for effect,
no brass tacks in you...

Craven, i kneel at your feet,
crystal eyes implore you,
pathetic and needy.
Frigid disdain matches my gaze,
self disgust turns my eye to the ground
as you sneer with approval at my shame.
Satisfied with my agony and excited by control,
you play,
taunting

Puppet-master wins again.

high above the trees

into a river jade,
wash away the fears you have and

through holes i don't see.

and a dead end you will find,
a labyrinth in reflection
of my gnarled and rotten mind.

riding the hours again
coasting from one to the next
re-fueling every half,
much more than really needed.
over-spilling ashtray,
each one a five minute filler,
markers on a munberless clock.
endless peeks through curtained glass,
veiling the blackness outside.
time waits not for me
but me for it,
weary and flat,
like the grey dawn that eventually comes.

Tolerated if only to avoid ruction,
she's faceless and bland.
A greasy, miserable wench,
who owns no redemption.

Conceited words spill over,
rushing to exagerrate status.
Repeated time and again
with growing monotony.

Unaware of the disdain
thats follows her, she
waits for praise and awe,
expecting it without cause.

Slowly pushing everyone away,

Bloodrush interrupts the silence,

Cocooned in marshmallow,
foetal and calm,

I breathe in unison with my

a soothing constant to

Briefly satisfied,
I sleep.

I sleep,
restless and fretful,
no longer eased by bloodrush.
Silence given over to the
tormented wail of my dream.

Walls bend, introspective.
A looking-glass of truths
i'd never seen.
Green lens,
self-destructive,
helter-skelter
to obscurity.
Soft-soap and sugar-coat
until the lie is fundamental fact.
Insatiable,
lungful of loathing,
take me somewhere pretty.
For awhile.
Kamikaze crash-landing,
hits hard from behind.

Lead balloons sink fast.

ice-white spikes the eye.

Golden-copper stretched far beyond his eye,
the swell of corn yielding to a late breeze
made him think of home, the gentle waves
almost lapping at his feet.
He dreamed of another life, a world where
he was no longer rooted to the same spot,
where he could be free.
Looking down at the parched soil,
knowing it was useless to dream,
he slowly started to flake.
