Words and thoughts from the Silent Poet. / The poems came about during the course of a year following a decision to seek an Autism diagnosis.
Twisting & turning Swirling around The tornado thoughts From which I weep Escape is futile Having to endure The ******* vortex Of ritual obsessions Pulling deeper And deeper down Gasping for air The surface so close And yet so far On this sea of misery The tormentors all bang Their paranoid drums Of all events to come In a future of hellish abyss The glimpse of light A faraway touch The waiting an agony But alas, it is never to end Until the asphalt Comes sharply into view And with a fond farewell I kiss the world goodbye.

Seasons In The Abyss
Socialising is so tiring And draining. The interchange a merry waltz of delight But not for all The hieroglyphical rules Bewildering for some And so I ask the following With the hope for an answer From the initiated The ones with the elixir of life What will they want to talk about this time? Do I start the conversation? Should I say I am ok? Do I ask if they are too? What do I talk about after? Will they like what I say? At what point do I talk? Have I just interrupted them? What did they think of my point of view? Should I have sat here? Did they want me to? Why aren’t they speaking to me? Can I speak now? Is it that funny? When is a reasonable time to leave? What happens if I don’t laugh? Why aren’t they letting me speak? Can I just go home? Please I Am Drained.

Drain You
I’m autistic I’m not stupid I’m not awkward I’m not an epidemic I do have feelings I am empathetic I can learn I can create Contrary to what the great poet RFK Jr. proclaimed I can do things on my own I can love I can understand I know how things work Sometimes better than you I can laugh I can cry I get upset I get annoyed These all make me who I am A human An equal It is just sometimes I need support But don't we all at some point So please see me as a human An autistic human And be kind

Truth Be Known
Rolling fog descending the hills Bending trees and swaying reeds Red, orange and brown autumnal leaves Scattered all around waiting for their royalty to cross their path Silence fills the damp, clean air Trampled grasses lead the way As I await the lonely walker I am vengeance, the justice of the peace Bow down all yea who dare Call out and cry to Shiva the Destroyer Where you are to be released from your splendour Dionysus, take me to thy temple And drink the holy communion Freeing the madness of the mind Banishing the apocalyptic visions Now a darkness is coming Plunging all across the land Driving out the fires of light Birds turn silent to beastly howls Forcing the day to end The lonely walker I have found Silently moving so you can feel The breath on your neck, hands moving around In a moment in the heart of darkness You cry out with Aum and with one final breath The brilliant light floods around Illuminating the sky like a chorus of angels The long snake moan Released but resting in your splendour Worshipping at the temple of love

Take These Chains
First it was my judge Then my academic Next it was my streets And now it’s my words What other freedom am I to lose In this land that was once free Before its goose stepping to the right Followed by genuflecting corporations Proclaiming in fear, “Long live the king.” Is three the magic number for me Or the ultimate declaration of change With another false proxy of war So stand up for me And I’ll stand up for you Be at my side And I’ll be there for you For only we can change the inevitable claim That three is the magic number

(3 Is) The Magic Number
Love is the law Told through generations in Churches, Mosques, Synagogues, Temples and Gurdwaras Love thy neighbour; do unto others, and all that The golden rule threading its way into the hearts and minds of who? Who listens? Who takes on board? Who really cares? Would the world collapse if one day I said “No more. From now on I’m being a **** Everyone for themselves, all rules are out of the window; a one person Purge. A capitalist of all time, those Psychogeographical wanderings through the moral maze. Hegemony of me; those that stand in the way trampled into the dirt. Anarchy in the heart, nihilism with each and every action And party like it’s the end of time Do what thy wilt shall be the whole of my law With mind manipulation to the occult ways of the black The heart corroded of meaning; hardened, plaque ridden arteries halting the love and care A higher presence in full knowledge of the deceits of life and its better ways Conditioned to think of others first and the self later or some other sort of **** A Faustian pact with the other side brought to life A drink to your good health The pleasures of life grabbed by the scruff of the neck and wrung to the final drop The scales of justice rusting as day turns into night into day The naked bodies entwined branches of lust and ecstasy surfing the waves of wanton desires Blurred narcotic visions indistinct from the other until time cannot be returned Byronic Blakeian spectral figures holding out their hands of kinship But this corrosion of the self is melting in the mirror of madness Syphilitic mercurial fumes rise from the furnace resting on the brim Deeper and deeper down The depths of the soul eroded for all time Replaced by throbbing notions of unfamiliar reflections The dread of not knowing thyself The attic painting no longer recognisable Full of decay An ageing Id no longer able to get up

When you look back, what can you say? Did you bring something of use, Something that you can be proud of? Or did you just take, causing pain and misery? Will others be proud of what you did, Will someone thank you for what you’ve done? Or will they celebrate now you’ve gone? Are you an angel on Earth, Bringing selfless happiness and joy? Do you love with all your heart, Never expecting acts in return, Just knowing that feeling good is good enough? For if you do, Then you will know, The meaning of love.

Big Love
You think you know because you read something on the internet And your wife’s best friend’s cousin knows someone with it So you have all the answers and cannot be wrong Dave down the pub reckons it is all a scam and really they are just a bit thick And he knows because he is Dave and Dave knows **** especially when seven pints in (God he is ******* funny; what a legend) We are the problem with the world The world that is only for the entrepreneur Not the ones who see through the smokescreen Wanting to give love to everyone, using intimidating genders and pronouns, instead of glorifying the economies of scale But they are the snake oil salespeople So go back to your cave of gossip and rumours; evolution has stalled for you Genuflecting at the feet of those paid influencers who tell you how to live your life with fictitious remedies of being Leaving us to mop up your mess Too ******* stupid, too ******* greedy to save the earth Too ******* stupid, too ******* greedy to end poverty Too ******* stupid, too ******* greedy to accept Too ******* Stupid You Greedy ****

Gargoyle
Out there I found The enlightenment of Nirvana Whilst the city lights Burned bright in unforgettable fires And the singer sang his love for you I knew that I would have the calm of one As I journeyed to the centre of the Earth Finding the return full of heartbreak But all I wanted to do Was break on through To the other side

Tomorrow, Where Are You?
Stances and poses stolen from guitar Gods Hip shakes amping the sexuality Audience love And ego boosted The nightly life of the rock star Boredom and waiting around Back stage the city that I only see Taking advantage Of groupie love The nightly life of the rock star Adrenaline coursing through the veins Not a chance of dreaming soon Alcohol or drugs Can permanently fix The nightly life of a rock star
