The Noose Feb 2018
Bodies on the floor

                   strewn.....

Like vermilion

                    martyred roses

The ****** handprints

                         On the wall

Could pass for contemporary art

It was a colourful cataclysm

                                   In red.
The Noose Feb 2018
I am pixelated dust
And your face is the moon
All that you pulsate
Renders me blinded
And bound to the
Elastic tether of want.
The Noose Feb 2018
The unrelenting tides
Of admiration and longing
Being longed for
drag me to the depths
Off the shore of reason
Carress like velvet
Drenched in delicacy again
Chasing waves
Lungs bursting
At the seams
The absurdity
In January.
The Noose Jan 2018
These continents
spat me out
The bones never rested
The guts of these frigid borders
Could never
Cradle nor contain
This incorrigible dreamer
At the very bottom of the barrel
Tethered myself to the foundations
Dissolved my whole being
In delicately stitched façades
And probables
Whose emotional resonance
Has long withered
Senseless
All these feet can do
Is chase the bitter winds
Shards of hope
Strewn
Broken compasses
Blinding lights
Tremble, seeth
Drenched in sin
In the centre of
The barren lands where
Sanity fuels the faculties
The ginormous machine
Devoid of soul.
The Noose Jan 2018
I can only say this to you
While you're sleeping
I drag a tremble
From another realm
Like pulling an endless string
From the throat
My head is a caged animal
Some kind of madness
Coiled around bone
I dangle at the edges
And borders of everything
That wilts
and
You
Say my name
As though you've found grace
The Noose Jan 2018
The freezing mercury
left the bone
Something
devoured the trail
The Noose Jan 2018
Your face is the moon
Guiding
These feet
That always tread
Towards the uncharted
In search of home
Distant places
Euphoria
It gathers
Washes up at my feet
Takes root to eager bones

You encircle

My spirit drifts towards these things
Your face is the moon
Gleaming with zeal
The asylum of your arms
Mending the snare
Spliced by old knives
Long forgotten
At the bend of nevermore


You encircle my yearning

The asylum of madness
In the center of winter
Some kind of palpable presence
Forevermore drips down your chin
I am a ship passing in the night.
