Sometimes to you I let slip What I can’t say to him That’s why I dim at full brim Start to swim in the shallows And skim the surface Swallow don’t spit I say heartbreak like it’s hymn Condone what brings A broken chest to a teary chin Twist innocence To fit my blistered whim [...]

Snowballed
I know I shouldn’t do it But I’m gonna do it anyway So what’s the point of knowing? Some things happen so fast I don’t realise 'till they pass Like sleeping through snowing It’s melted by the dawn crack Just wet feet and raised back As the cold wind blows slack Through the windows I [...]
Writer Needs
Sometimes I don’t even wanna talk to myself So writing these poems gets hard I want all the pigtail and gristle With no lard I want to fill these deep and plunging Silences Scream down my yard I want to burn my throat so abundantly My words are left smokey and charred I want to [...]
The Ruiner
Will I ever stop feeling like I’m Ruining your life? I strive to provide smooth glide But I’m bona fide sly When I realise that I Am making things difficult again And the slime of my crimes Engulfs all that I’ve dried From the saturation That comes after the downpours Of my cries I lie [...]

What Is And What’s Not
Why do so many of my old poems relate to you? It’s like you were always here, and I always knew You’d come, always knew you were the one Who would turn my world spun, and lunge Deep into the belly of my creativity And my creations Like you were the one that was meant [...]
Innocent, Until
When the bad days outweigh the good Will you still tell me I’m brilliant? When the bad days outweigh the good Will your love stay resilient? When the bad days outweigh the good Will that comfort turn militant? When the bad days outweigh the good Will you still see me as innocent? By Lyric Deep.
Passion Fruit
If I was a food I’d be a passion fruit Because I feel everything Personally But I’d get eaten With cutlery For optimum Burst of seed I’d be pink in my blush But black pocked Underneath Still the beauty Of me At the market Will make you see The shine of skin Over the other [...]
