Night. Dark giant.
Lying down as if to sleep
Itself.

Eyes huge as Time
Narrow-
Lulled looking at
Stars beyond
Stars.

Eyes huge as Time to which
Light-years merely lightnights.
Black as blindness
-Empty as newborn hands-
Fog of a cloud in a mist within smoke,
Shaped as the
Opposite of
Fire.

Opposite of fire, and as
Cold as the darkness
It is.

The most interesting person
I have met was the one
Least focused on being just that.

Paper beats rock.
It never tries to rain.

You couldn't swing a dead cat
Between me
And the Core of All Existence.

I hide myself from External Affairs
Behind homeground
Impenetration.

All I care to explore is my own
Present outermost psychocosmos.
I could open my mouth and
Expell whole systems; solar and
Other.
In constant consumption with
Every sense employed; I know not
When to stop.

I breathe pure air on spiritual diet,
Slimming down to a complete
Absence of Self. Leaving an
Impression like a Lover of Life on
Something dead; I feel nothing
But alive.

I close my eyes and bask in the
Loaded sensation
Of every gun in the room

Being pointed at my person.

They live by me.

betterdays
i went to the sea shore.on this cold winter eve

i stand with feet in cold cold
water
trouser legs rolled up to my knees
body wrapped in a chunky
hoodie
curly hair, streaming in the bitter wind.
in my hand, a pebble
in my mind, your name
i stand thinking, crying
as the wave pound in and
the wind takes my breath
i sigh and throw the pebble
as far into the breakwater
as i can..
in letting you go... i can leave
farewell my dearhearted friend
and may angels sing thee to thy rest.

betterdays
we coupled,last night
ben and i
in a strange wild sobbing
song of grieving,
primal,greedy, frentic lusting.
it was, an affirmation
of life,
desperation and sorrow was
our rythmn.....
anger and sadness,
the counterpoints to our, thrusting, grasping beast.
spent,  but still crying,
we spooned,
and pressed our
anguish, against each other
this morning, we are sombre
and united in sadness.
as we pack our black clothes,
to travel to your funeral.
our blood,
still humming,
with that strange song,
so wild, in it's abandoned longing of desperate need to create living, life.. to go on.

Her still warm
Imprint on the bed
Body and
Wings

Feathers on whole
Pillows

I wake up in Heaven
Alive.

I had a few of my poems
Published in an Australian
Student project underground
Art-paper in '97.

One of my Melbourne High School
Teachers said he felt I had
One foot in Rumi's world,
The other in Bukowski's.

i could either be
a drunken genious
at the track
not winning
yet certainly
drinking
my health
borderline
euthanized
and writing to sustain it.
the magic and
honor in not
being an honored
magician.
-
But the sun-warmth within her palm
Makes everything she lays it upon
Feel as if kitten's belly-
Soft and as inviting to love as the
Newest-born infant on Earth
With her touch.
All is Day.
I need her too much to find sleep.
-
****. I do love them both.

Love With All Your Heart

There are many different ways to love
That we can have within our hearts
A love that takes it's time to grow
Or one there from the start

Sometimes a love can fade away
A love never to return
While other love is meant to stay
Without worry or concern

It may take time to fall in love
Not all love starts out strong
We must open up our hearts to love
For thats where love belongs

There are times the love we feel inside
Stays hidden for to long
And that person we were meant to love
Not knowing is then gone

The way you choose to love someone
Can depend on who you are
But each person that you choose to love
Love with all your heart

Bloodied and bruised lips,
I enjoy the taste of iron passion in your kiss.
Tears filled with too swiftly spoken words and
feelings never to be expressed well up then slip out and over,
leaving salty trails of dried up promises, of joy of pain.
Dark smears of mascara mark your otherwise flawless face.

I can read your need.
Our stories are intertwined and older then the cave paintings depicting hunter slaying prey,
and just as primal.

Sing me no sweet lullabies.
Rather pound me into the moist earth with your crescendo,
your dirge,
a harpy's cry coupled the siren's song.
My lust will answer in kind.
Rising proud and *****, a soldier standing tall, fearless, with yearning gaze searching the worlds between us, welcoming you, the enemy, more friend than foe, into a dance designed to wound,
Cupid's arrow through our heart.

The only peace we will know will be the quiet of the field when the battle is done.
The only victor the carrion crow,
a ****** of beaks to pick over our shredded skin, our false pride, our misconceptions.

It's not the bride who cries on this wedding day.
White virtue walks the aisle splendid with beauty that shines from within, sending my ghosts screaming as they are replaced with a spirit far more profound.

My knees shake as I lower myself to worship you at your alter.
Any more sacrifices and I'll be dead. I am laid bare before you, every layer pealed back, raw meat for the knife.
I await your tender kiss.

You held my hand
while you cut me down
We just got started
but it's over now

You're smiling in the spotlight
Dancing with the night
And I've left your mind and heart
I'm tired of buying your time
When I get nothing in return

I should of known better
But I couldn't resist your open arms
I couldn't help the leap when I was tripped so hard
Now I'm left just falling apart

For all I say you always say more
And I can't give you what you've been looking for
You were too good to be true
Your charm always crept closer and
Like a fool I fell pride and all for you

You're the wiser one
Now I stand by the river I cried
And I let myself drown
You swore you'd stand beside me
Now I'm not there beside you
I was yours for the taking
But that was a mistake
I settled for wrong when I ignored the right thing

We had magic but it turned tragic
My life has been infected
Since you left me neglected
I know you're probably sorry
We were always so sweet
But you deceived me
I'll probably regret it
But it's too late now because
you've lost me somehow

"I love you" didn't mean much
My mind is gone now
Deep inside my tears I'll drown
I was a victim and it cut like a knife
Why did we ever have to kiss?
This has turned to a hit and miss

We spent so much time now that's no more
I should of never let you hold me baby
I didn't give into you on purpose though
So tell me how you managed to steal my heart
I want to forget how your kisses tasted on my lips
But there are some things I'm sure to never forget
I tried to keep you amused but I'm tired of being used
And since I'm not your everything
How about I be your nothing
Baby's so tired of hurting

All who love are blind
And our love was on fire
So we danced with desire
But now we've turned to ashes
And the smoke is in our eyes
Ignorance is kind to the heart and mind but
Pain in truth is all you'll ever find

Time can never mend the disappearance of your best friend so
Please don't patronize me
Why hurt each other more with words we want to say
Wish I could just turn down all these voices in my head
But I can't so instead
I'm going to close my eyes
So I don't have to see
the love you don't feel for me

You were always the mysterious one
With your dark eyes and crazy hair
Into fashion but too cool to really care
And you failed to notice how
My heart for you would bleed
I was always on my knees
You're thoughtless words always broke my heart

You were always so brilliant smoking your cigarettes
and talking over coffee
Your philosophies on art and life
You'd teach me of honest things,
Things that were daring, things that were clean.
Things that you thought about life and what it to you did mean.

And I must of mistaken you for somebody else,
Somebody who gave a ****,
Somebody more like myself
And now I'm too tired to care about wrong or right
Because I surrender to you in this fight...
