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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 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 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 [...]

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 [...]

I am just this fleshy, bony  Bag of body,  Enveloped in pink toned hide   And sheltered by the soft bristle  Of tiny blonde strands.   I am hard to the push,  With ossein structure   And a hole in my stomach  Waiting for life  But only being flushed with modified substance.   I am the present head of [...]
