Philoxenic appetence Misplaced Disproportionate benevolence Dissipate Myself: an object, given away A transient drifter with always somewhere to stay Exuberant sorrow ever-wishing to deject Distortion Deception duplicates A heart burnt black Focussed on the lacking, unable to bounce back Mouths to feed Needy hands grapple to extract No fact needed Smoky contortion Inhaled greedily Ready for the downfall Open to the wind Upward spirals shy away from the world they crave Mischievous nymphs dance merrily on a stage, Unmade Then lay down to cradle their babes Slaves to the slovenly Behaviour of unrest I know they’re trying hard but is it their best? Sing a song of sixpence, your fingers in my pie Life is not serious We’re all destined to die High.

Strange Hunger
I tried to reach you; gone too late gone as is our love, gone with the winds of fate I tried to teach you; once then twice one two many ears closed to advice I tried to touch you; soft and hard head already weary, heart already marred I tried to clutch you; loose too tight haggard by purpose, limp with blight I tried to feel you; fathom then grasp grains of sand in the hand that escapes the clasp I tried to heal you; no pill nor vial schizo-hypochondriac living in denial!

I tried to...
I found you, lost Always-never-winning, loser Yesterday I tried to dream but reality is drawing closer False realities shade truthful colour True reflections show no other I found you, lost Always-never-winning You found me, sung Always-ever-striving, singer Tomorrow sees dream revealed but love empty tends to linger Broken promises obscure good intent Repeated mistakes seek to relent You found me, sing Always-ever-striving

Found
Caged in a prison, high on a hill, actions ensued but didn’t quite fit the bill Words of not-always transformed promises to forever, Side by side, naught to hide, despite the cloudy weather A friend, a rock, a ship almost wrecked was looking to dock Alone in the harbour, under the moonlight, Ashamed, The half-wreck shone bright for what it was famed. Tough stains were covered, remains left undiscovered to be smothered by another Heart still full of what was before, keen, loveful pursuers already knocking at the door Cabin wide open: “Ahoy mateys! Ahoy!” She soon set sail with the innocent boy. Tides were rolling on peacefully by, some of them were low tides but mainly they were high, When in need there was a shoulder upon which to cry And the girl thought the boy would help her get by. Way out at sea on a tropical isle the boy showed the girl daemons not seen in a while Opened her up and dove right in, illustrated the flaws of reacting to whims Open Broken Alone at sea, the boy turned his back as she fell to her knees Floundering, drowning, thrashing in the waves The girl succumbed to what her daemon craves Underwater tears remain unobserved A not-so-sly Fox spoke of acts undeserved An unsure girl, curled up, abashed Covered up the act and watched her daemon be tamed A ship in the darkness, a ship under the stars Saved the girl and craved the girl and hoped she knew right And Oh! How she flourished in this dependable new light “Love and peace, me mateys!”: a new reason to fight The boy on his island, soon to return, Will see that the shipwreck upon which they met, though not yet quite perfect Trawls the coast to find an isle of its own And though different to first-envisaged, Bristol shall be its home.

The Shipwreck

Broken footsteps dart in and out of shadows A voice in the distance considers itself hallow Brave, empty words pleading for forgiveness Repeat Retreat Warm caresses in a light born new Notches on a bedpost with nothing else to do Soft tender words promise forever Believe Retrieve Heart weary aches for torment Closed doors and corridors: naught left to vent Formless silences cling to nothing Bring Sing A song for the lonely One for the not-so-proud A song for him only Hanging silence sings loud

Christmas is over
Melancholic misadventures and misanthropic moments make meeting men more and more meaningless, Meaning less and less to those who undress to convene in the act of adulterated *** Flex: Point! Sit down, Smoke a joint, Go to sleep, Work, Eat, Wash (sometimes, not too often) Feign attraction and smile with your eyes as you die on the inside Darkness outside Whilst wintery winds whistle, the worldly-wise whittle on and on in their wordy way of the other-worldly wonders they have witnessed. We can but wish that their wily whispers will soon diminish with the melting snow Or else go, Turn your back on all that you lack before you step on a crack, break that back and see it refract through the prism of the microcosm of your mind Colour-blind Lost Trying to find Be found My heart beats yet I hear no sound As plasma pumps passionately through my pallid passages and I ponder partially perceptible pursuits that preside in my past Digging deep down into the depths of my ***** deeds discloses a discerning dichotomous divulgence of doctrine and dogma Two mothers Three brothers One sister And a whole load of Misters!

A Litter Raid Shun!
Ducking behind trees and dropping to my knees to avoid you Scouring leafy fields and trawling whole cities to find you So that I can help you rewrite and be the you that you want to be but who were you before me? And do you really need me? How? I want to awaken you to the you that you are Now Because you are only half of what I hope we could be. Am I a muse to you? Do I unuse you? Can I amuse you enough to give up on this love? Eat me up dive inside of my heart tear it apart and find me I am yours to take apart and put back together, however I love you! But need you to love you too. See you and me As ones, or twos or even three.

Three?
As my preconceived dreams unfold in your kaleidoscope eyes and my mind endeavours to decipher the reasons why our paths have collided, bright colours provided in powder form allow you to avoid the awkward questions we are about to ponder, so that we are left with opportunities to psychedelically wonder or else sleep which may seem meek but we must remember: despite all intoxication and inebriation and manifestations of truth and unity and all things pure, you see Without impurity there would be no balance and I would be less-challenged So be happy with your less than perfect image of all that you might not be And set yourself free, rest assured in the knowledge that you are courage And no matter how big, or small, or not-enough-grown, You are, to me, as vast as the sea and all it has encompassed As expansive as space but with all the home comforts And we will be love but not as we have known it Which can only be good Because up until now it’s been hard to truly show it!

Encouragement
In boots without holes, And a soul whole, I’m ready to roll Into an infinity of possibilities and eccentricities of simplicity. I feel fit you see, To dive head-on into a new song while the melody remains unwritten. I’ll uncap, uncurl and uncoil into this scoreless spring of my existence, Keeping an ear to the ground for hints from a distance, Rejoice in my own valiance of overcoming that dark beast. I am the animal, unleashed! And I shall place my cautious paw in spaces where only good has strode before. Short of saying more: I feel set free, at ease and eager to please. From my head to my knees I feel able to achieve dreams I am yet to conceive. And all this from release! Relinquish and re-grow!
