He’s a shadow And he leans in when I kiss him He’s getting darker For his without when I’m with him Not like before When it was only within I feel guilty When I really admit I miss him But I get off scott free Because no one ever listens Other than him, but He’s [...]

My Lessons Are Blessings
I’ve always moved in acceleration. Done light years in adolescence, Lived all my 9 before I got my period And made up my mind Before I got any sense. I’ve done plenty I never meant - Wrote texts I’ve never sent, Straightened out kinks I should’ve bent, And attended to events I should’ve left. I [...]
My Skin Is Like The Sky
I sit, head back and neck aching Feet naked and fire blazing Watching the sky; Satellites out on the darkness just grazing And I pick the stars out, it’s amazing. I find them so beautiful, Littering the picture, small spots bursting And patterns of mandalas and faces And shapes and traces of magic Lace the [...]
Where Everybody Is Somebody
They say the Devil was an angel, But why the past tense? Don’t they sense The raw mystery Of darkness? The glory of black, Or the beauty of swallowed up? So I’m using present to follow up My description of the S word Because there’s a looking glass in all terms Of negative and positive [...]
Thank You From A Skank Who
In that photo you called me beautiful in I hadn’t washed for days My knickers were glued to me And my chest was laid With red marks as my bra Never left it’s resting place I’d smoked at least 300 fags And my fingers were yellow stained My skin was pimpled, my legs hairy And [...]
Used To Be Fun Though
It goes like this right: the mood will be like, Perfect, and the vibes light. There will be laughing and, just a little, play fight, Some flirting! and a few “oh I might”s, then the papers come out, the baggies and the Stoners’ tackle. Fingers will pinch, tongues lick, lighters will get passed round and [...]
(Give Me) Nothing, My Lord
I mean I’ll leave you alone if you prefer that But don’t let me make home on my own Then start to stir that Pot like you always do, When I’m strong and you prefer that Girl who wobbles in the throttles of your paws as you claw that Side out of me again and [...]
I Wasn’t Raised On Scripture
I wasn’t raised on scripture or a certain ideology I had my own brain and was allowed to let it follow me Many times in youth, hit hard with the truth, But I never let it swallow me And I’ve met God plenty of times but he never did acknowledge me I’ve been broken before, [...]
Knock Knees Please
Knock knees with me please Tangle toes and trip up fingers Over my lines and creases Breath into my cupped palms Suck your belly up in my arms Dig your elbows into my ridges Scratch my shins with uncut nails Lick my forehead with your split ends Kiss me at the coil of my snake [...]
Lady Of The Rings
He wanders my heart’s chambers Like Gandalf, light-of-his-staff-less and blinded In the winding, dark caves of Moria And of course, he meets his Balrog He meets his fire and his shadows He meets his falling demise Straight into the darkness of me and my beating love But I’m no fellowship. I’m not the braveness And [...]
