I fish for a compliment Instead I get honesty How many times will you misread me Honestly We do life differently I don’t think like you You don’t think like me I think you don’t like me You don’t like me Don’t matter what’s most likely You come home warm I welcome icy When I’m [...]

There’s an element of the excitement I miss Not knowing when the buss’ll come Or who’ll walk by the bushes as I squat to piss When I’ll fall back through the front door Or sleep off all this Picking grit from my fingernails As I set sail on cheap spirits To find my way to [...]

When I shut my eyes I see darkness But when I squeeze them I see glitter Like first taste of your lips, grenadine sips Then tongue started to spit bitter Do you rage the war  Finish on even score And come out fitter? Or do you plead for peace? Give what it is you seek [...]

You’ll feel it in your soul God blesses In the earth your skin caresses In the perfect lines life messes And those eyes where truth confesses You’ll hold it in your hands, undress it Use that pretty head to send the message You’ll be what saves the wretched You’ll still what rumbles hectic Give back [...]

You’re no longer eyeballing the world with wonder You’re grabbing it by the pinkened neck Lands you on your arse, sometimes, don’t it?

I’m exhilarated by the slow tide, the acoustic strum The sofa sit and sink and numb bum Blood rushes at the brushes of ink into letter And fucking hell, a deep conversation Nothing’s better Let’s discuss the abstract Let’s philosophise how the trees breathe How when no one’s died We still feel grief How when [...]

Want to document life So when it winds down you’re reminded Of the time’s the sunshine blinded Of that moment your union collided When you laughed off what they derided When you let that spark illuminate Instead of the usual fate where you hide it You take photos, you record And when it’s captured, you [...]

I enjoyed your abstractivity Thought those odd shapes Could fit me nicely But tying myself into knots So you don’t start screaming Has taught me that maybe Freedom of expression Matters more than it was seeming I realise you are in your element When it’s furthest from me Finally belly laughing And standard free I [...]

I beg to be frank Beg to be honest and vulgar Beg for truth to be a sun bleached carcass That I gobble after careful circle Like a long starved vulture Beg to be told Beg to not go wondering Alas I find falsehood lurking It’s lies and pleasantries numbering You can give it to [...]
