If I had to live
without you, all the best parts
of me would vanish
you are the essence
of what makes me a worthwhile
person, you show me
how to be decent
and though sometimes I fall from
grace, you redeem me
'love' is too small a
word, to routine a concept
to encompass how
you heal me, make me
complete, and lift me towards
being someone I like

the journey from white
to black through coloured cotton
returning to white
feet, hips, arms, eyes, mind
so much to be considered
in every technique
the paradox that lies
in TRYING to stay relaxed
slow is smooth is fast
that eternal reach
for perfection that always
remains elusive

I am detritus
left ashore by the ebbing
tide of my childhood

noble sacrifice
oh how you must have suffered
when you used clenched fists
to make a man of me

a distant desert
is not a prerequisite
for conflict and pain
Not all wars are fought
over oil, scars are also
a hallmark of home

your rage spreads outward
concentric ripples of harm
break the calm waters
the storms that you CLAIM
to have weathered and survived
are not an excuse
volition exists
in every circumstance, the
pattern ends with me

spectate from cover
talk a good war. suffering

dulled by time's merciless march

i've weaponised words
this is just the overture
to a reckoning
how long can your past
remain buried and dormant
'neath the soil of lies?
little man, old man.
I have come to square the tide
your flowers will fade

falsified valour,
a place on the balcony?
little man... you lie!
