I am your addiction
Your poison
Your hell fire
I am the reason
You cry in the night

I asked you for peace
But you just dont stop talking
I think i am mad
Please leave me alone

You drive me to distraction

Stories of love
That im not even thinking
Wishe's for a life that is not my own
Distant shores beckon
Will i explore them
You know that i wont
So please leave me alone


I am your drug
I won't release you
What would you be
If i left you alone

Fragmented and broken
This warn body lies upon the floor
Not understanding
That to change this
All I need to do is crawl
Softly
Creep silently
Into the heart
Of the nearest stranger
This body has served it purpose
Time to move on
*possession is sweet
Rai Nov 2010
I am the Power
you switch on in your head
I am the power*
that helps you see red
I am supreme
delghtfully i scream*

Another moment
all is not as it may be

Power supply turning on

Buzzing noises

so strong

I cant get used to the din
No its nothing to do with
you or him

They said
Just push the switch
But at that moment i felt an itch
knocked it up to full power
the moment
you stepped in the shower

kazam kaboom
We all left the room

**I have the power
Rai Oct 2018
Loosing myself was a necessity
The journey back to self
That was a choice all of my own
Rai Oct 2015
She sits in shadows
Displaced by life
Forgotten by self
Dejected by all those Crows that fly Northwards
A Sparrow hawk calls
She remembers him but utters nothing
that is desirable
He flies onwards
Never to look upon her
Dark princess
Of lower grounds
She holds fast and keeps council with demons
Demons who roam the corridors of her soul
Pulling the cloak over her nakedness
as the stage  illuminates the way
An actress of sorts
Another west end show
A vagabond who plays her hero
Darkness falls from her
And all who are touched by her fateful hand
Will linger no more in sun drenched meadows
Too bright to see
Too good to believe
Her fearfulness becomes her
Her innocence laid bare upon a slab of false regret
Be he gone from her mind
She may be free
For what lingers a princess in darkness
Than a love betrayed
The darkened hour may find its way into any heart
The broken man
Can do as he tries
But stumbles when he beholds her stare.
Rai Aug 2015
I'm proud of the person I've become
It's good to know your worth
Even if at times
My mind tries to tell me I'm worthless and life
Does something stupid to reflect it back at me
Through all the love,the hate and the bloodshed
I really am pleased that I have become
Who I am today
Lessons learnt the hard way, I'm a kind caring person but I am no fool . I like being me.
Rai Jul 2023
I’m grateful for this time to rest when my body , mind and spirit don’t want to work together.
Maybe they are taking a break
My body has broken from my mind , my mind from my spirit and in turn my spirit from my body .
All there is to be done is to lay down the day and submit defeat.
Hopefully tomorrow they will be rejoicing , grateful for each other once more.
Rai Oct 2015
Exquisitely flawed in all the right places
Like the keys on the piano that  sits abandoned
Your ebony keys complement my ivory so well
But dust collects and you never notice
So I fall away quietly
Retreating like a soldier
Who knows he will not win the inner battle before him
Quietly quietly
Silently go
Where no one sees you
Nobody knows
I built up my fortress
A place full of pride
Full of hatred
Your pent up lies
A promise broken
A heart is torn
I'll stay in my castle
Where my poetess is reborn

*
Quietly quietly
Silently go
Where all the others fear to tread
I will lye down this weary head
Exquisitely flawed in all the right places
You are the man with many faces

Prisms
like drops of rain

Rai Jul 2023
The trees were stretched tall reaching for a sky that they could never touch .
Holding onto memories
Footsteps along pathways through deep forests
What lurks within your darkened mind I wonder ?
May I hid within your brokenness
Until the Phoenix in me surrenders to the fire that lies at the base of my being?
May I curl myself around you in the darkness of the night whilst my soul sleeps , my heart yearns and my body unwinds ?
It feels so warm here
I love that you just accept all my flaws and only see the beauty within.
I love the darkness and the night that holds us together
Two lost souls floating in a sea of wonders waiting to be found.
Rai Aug 2013
Briefly I catch a glimpse of your reality
The ripples of your self confessed desire
Shimmer on in my thoughts
Heaven only knows
Where your angels lie sleeping
Whilst your demons never seem to rest
A moment
Is all that is taken
A tear
For a worthy apponent
Who fell short
And who couldn't find the strength
Or will to carry on
Holding against my breast
The picture I took
You were laughing at some obscure
Remark made about life in general
Your outlook blinded by the ripples of circumstance
I loved you then
As I love you now
Yet I have lost that hollow emptiness
That threatened to swollow me whole
Peaceful summer evenings
Drinking rose
Remonising on lifes finer qualities
Under willow trees
That no longer weep your name
Seem to hold the dreams of lovers yet met,
Poems yet written and days not yet spent
Life is only good when we believe
So believe my friend
In dreams
In hope
In beautiful horizons laid bare
I will see you there maybe
In futures warm embrace
Amongst words
Within dreams
The essence of life holds me
Lifting me higher so that I May see reality
As never I saw it before
Rai Aug 2015
Sore head
Crumpled sheets
The moments before the mind kicks in
The morning after and she turns suddenly
Reaching for her phone
Drunken messages sent after midnight
After downing two bottles of the best red
Oh how cruel can we be to ourselves
Tears fall
There were no words in reply
She was no more to him
How someone could love so powerfully
Then fall away silently
Was something she neither understood nor accepted
She is moving through her grief and turns holding onto memories
Before they too crumble away
Leaving her void of emotion until another foolish Wimb beckons her
She inspects her own fury which is building up in her heart
How dare he wring her out like some used up dish cloth
She pulls her body up heavily
There's nothing that coffee won't fix
Or at least this is what she will tell her frazzled mind
It's going to be a long hungover day
The sun is shining outside
She will curl up and wait for a reply
Always waiting
She holds back
Acceptance and denial all in one breathe
Rai Jan 2013
Within the reflection of winter
I will send
The moon to watch over
Whilst you slumber perfectlly
Silver rays reach upon your pillow
And kiss you peacefully
As your dreams lay your soul bare
The sun to light your days
When moments become dark
And you find yourself
Alone within the stepping stones called life
I plucked stars from the sky
Did you see them disappear
Only to return
They will be a reminder that
By pinning your hopes and dreams
Into the weave of the universe
Then at last
You shall find peace
Between the moon ,the stars and sun
There sits understanding
Sipping tea with farther time
Creating dreams to blow your mind
Warm breezes brush your cheek
Another time
Another dream
Another lover
Another scene
From a sketch of a play
We forgot the lines too
Rai Mar 2013
Remember
When I kissed
Your naked soulfire
Gently caressing the time
We spent between moments so fragile
Like porcelain dolls
Fragile in their meer existence
Capable of splender
Or distroyed
Crumbling to dust
Time has come full circle
Meeting in my dreamtime
Shades of a new horizon
Exquisite upon the ivory keys
A melody of life yet born
And yet so silent is the tune of my love
Bare not a scorn
For past illusions
I lay soulfire naked before your throne
Pheonix rise to meet your challenge
A myriad of emotions freefall
Landing upon your eyelids
I may put fear where fear is unwanted
But remember
Your soul is beckoning you
To be all that you can
So in letting go
You are merely
Recognising
Yourself
Within the illusion
Rai Jan 2016
Maybe tomorrow your remember who I am
I remember when
We made daisy chains in summer
And watched the sun rise and fall
Your smile broke me apart but
Your touch put me back together again
Wild dreams of spending a life much loved
Something which I've never managed to find
As I look around at others
I desperately want someone to call my own
Who will there be to build ice castles in the sky with me
Who will run wildly in lusious green meadows
Holding on so tight but feeling freedom in a whisper of love
Some days I think maybe this kind of love has passed me by
But you look around and most people have someone
Or so it seems
The lost souls wonder with a transparency so fine that they
Go unnoticed
Even I don't see
Maybe if the wanderers could see through each other facades
They would find a treasure
That glistens in the heart as well as in the eyes that shine hope
Maybe tomorrow I will walk with my eyes open and my heart free

I wish the darkness would smother me in sleep for this restless night has taken me prisoner for it’s own.
Rai Nov 1
Fingertips
In  doughnut jam
I licked my lips
And it began

You came up slowly from behind
And moved serenely to the side
I held my breath
And you did say
It’s for your soul
That I do pray  

The devil in
the machine

I heard the crowd roar
And then they clapped
And wanted more

Foolish games
Wicked spells
The youth I own
Had left as well

Now stand I
A foolish fellow
Who wishes
More than ever
That Id stayed mellow

But no I jumped up
Ready for battle
My armour made a mighty rattle

I saw you off
You I will slaughter
Now keep away from my daughter x

Rai Sep 2014
As twilight approaches
A realisation
That we will never speak again floats through
A  mere thought
And its ok I guess
As the clock strikes some ungodly hour
I scream silently
Them move on
Blanketed In the safety of loves dream
Little things which bound us have withered and died
Oh how I love the breeze
Even if I close it out
I know that it will still be there if I choose to just
Open another doorway
Rai Dec 2011
She wove baskets for a living
Simple lass
Not a penny to her name
But a heart so free
She found her happiness
Floating on the breeze
That held onto her memories
Of a time when

He came full of wealth
Missing something all his life
He saw it in her eyes
A heart so caged
Waiting to be set free

Whisper on the breeze of understanding
As you looked  into her eyes
Sapphire glances
Sadness so complete
As strangers do pass
A match of a kind
But he was so blind

He saw kindness
A face porcelain laid
Dark hair cascading
In ringlets
Dancing onto her shoulder’s so bare
He wanted her too much

When he looked into those diamond eyes
Her rags became another’s disguise
But when he awoke
His mind played a snobbish joke
How dare she look upon his face?
Tantalising
*****
Fool
Fake
How dare she tempt him
With her sapphire sweetness
And pureness of heart

Poor child
She saw his fear
She saw him
Caged
She felt him
Poor child
Who had fallen from a moment’s grace?

Some day she will wear diamonds and pearls
Someday this child will rule the world
One day the noble man will fall a fool
Never to stare into the golden pool

She was an angel
Come to test
The rest of the tale is now
Laid to rest
Rai Nov 2010
God some people **** my body

It  brings moments of satisfaction

but not much else

God some people **** my brain

its brings nothing that feels like satisfaction

but i learn so much from them
Rai May 2013
I flick through memories
Like a crumpled dream revisited
The sword dips and twists
Twists and turns
Where there is a forgotten face
There is an angels cry for comfort
I will hide my face in shame
Addiction to love
The poison flowing freely
As the sun blinds
And my heart pumps venom to vertually every
Cell within this bio world I live in
I secretly cry in corners
But all you will see
Is my indifference
My detachment
My symbolic denial of truth
Rai Sep 2012
Pale reflections
Shadows that linger longer
New understandings
In an already muddled mind
Madness comes easy to the man
who holds the centre of the world in his palms
Before you turn from me
Without reason
Remember what you were doing here in the first place
Cry to release what you know you can not hold onto
You lie so sweetly
To your self you are only the fool at the edge
Hold me
For I am no stronger than the man you see in the mirror
And only when you accept yourself
Will I admit that you are the better part of me
Rai Dec 2021
Christmas,
A time where we remember,
But who remembers us, is what mends or cuts deeper the wounds of the past,
And so maybe we should be remembering to honour all that is sacred within ourselves,
Those selves that have let others in to touch and cut and heal our hearts.
Those selves that have fought beyond boundaries and temptations to keep safe even when we place our minds and bodies on frontlines so raw and destroying .
Bless the self that has risen as Phoenix’s rise through smoke and fire to once more stand within its own majesty and sovereignty so that they can walk tall in a world that at times has misunderstood their intentions and motives .
Remember today to love and honour all that you have been and become,
Fly high the sky is endless and so are we .
To all my friends I have ever let in, even when it hurt it healed .

She wants to feel the softness of feathers upon the tips of her toes
Reaching out for comfort that will surely come
Caresses the moments before midnight
With suger kisses so sweet
Like honey coated forgiveness
She smiles into her lovers eyes of crystal dew
Beyond
Her sences reeling
Twirling, dancing
Like the figurine within an ancient music box
As the music surrounds the childs mind so pure
And yet
There is more captured within
The sweetness is soured only by memories
She paints with fingers in the suger
To forget
There are things so worth forgetting
She sees him sleeping and places
mirrors where his eyes once looked upon her
For now she will see herself
The way he see's
The blood from the girl child dried as he slept
There was to be no more sugered moments
No more honey for him to savour
she had seen
Her worth in his eyes
Such a shame sweet child
She should of loved herself with toes touching feathers
Reaching for a comfort
That would only be found in forgiveness of self
Far beyond the place he sleeps
With mirrored eyes of crystal dew

He awakes to find his beloved drenthed in death
He reaches for moments which never come
Her projection of him so false upon this moment
As in a moments seperation
She sees with her angel presence
The suger he tastes on lips so pure
His tears now mingle with the blood
As he tears her mirrors from his eyes
He understands not
The reason
Why white feathers are falling from the sky

Moments twisted
Silence muffled by sound
Only to come face to face with a new understanding of freedom
And you dance and smile as once did the breeze through the trees
on a warm spring evening
I saw as you stood there quite still
Some how you must have been moving
By your breathe was so shallow
And you body statue like in the glow of the sun
But still I see you dancing and smiling
Its the way I always see you
In the eye of my mind
You whirl
Twirl
Float and fall
Breathing
Heart beating
Just as I turn to leave
You call
Not in words spoken
But by the flick of your hair and that look
You smile
And I know there is freedom within that moment
The moment which to others seemed
Twisted
Silence muffled by sound
Rai Dec 2013
In the earliest hours of tomorrow
I came to steal the hour before dawn
To rejoice in the holy sanctity of silence
In reality all is part of all

The wind is howling
Rain lashing down
Upon pain of glass
So fragile in existence
And yet protecting
Much like a skin
Protects a master

Silken threads of remembrance
They held you this time
Like never before
They have lost
The will to journey forward
Now they can not look upon you in body
I hope your spirit flies
Between the absences they feel

Poets speak
Painters paint
The greatest of artists
Stroke their brushes across the sky
In union with the sun
And lower themselves
Feet in soil
Hearts wide open
Pain glittering like a golden thread
Hold memories within this moment
For the memories are pure

Hold onto the place
In the silence
We see more
And yet
Do we ever really get to understand

Watching boats go by
Sailing on
Catching butterflies
Only to let them go
beckoning for freedom
We allow them an escape
In spirit we are the same
And in spirit you will fly
like never before

Perfect soul
flying free
Stormy night
In silence and in rain
I sit thinking
In thinking I sit in silence
Rai Jan 2014
You held me closer to your  skin than felt comfortable*
Come on we are only passing strangers
There's no need for all these niceties
Pass me a cigarette and be gone with you*
The moon is high and I'd rather be alone with my thoughts of who you might of been

Sober for a change
I wipe your sweat from my brow
Too close brother god dam you

Did I say you could come that close
Pushing through my barriers
There's such a thing as personal space my friend


Do I want to join you for a drink
I don't think so
Yep I may have called you friend but that doesn't make you my family
My brother
Hell in just a moment I'm joining the other wanderers on the road to oblivion
Until then speak your truths
Tell no lies


I see you hide behind eyes of ice cold blue
The hues are amazing
But they aren't enough to catch this heart
Not on a night like this anyhow


Ok so your cultured and refined
Behind your grey shaggy hair and your hair spiked chin

Your breathing is shallow upon my skin

Why do you try to touch my soul
Do you really think there's anything left
I've been bleeding on these god dam paper sheets for years now
An obscure poetess from the other side of town
No body notices me
Not until now that is I guess


You deal
Ill win
I always do


You stand silhouetted in the light of the window
I'm sure you were once a handsome soul
Something like loneliness lines your brow
A feeling of need arises in my chest

You are an angel of darkness
And so I let you stay
You may wander my corridors a while if you desire
What be it you desire my way wood friend
You touch so much more

And words will not give away the secrets our bodies hold

Sleep fast on pillows of Egyptian cotton
Crisp white sheets
Blood stained
By my poets hand


Tomorrow you will run wild
Beckoning for your freedom
The silhouetted man with a need for a connection


*Spit me out quick
Before your words fail you
Rai Jan 2012
Simplicity in moments
Moments
of simplicity
When movement
Ceases
And silence reigns
In hearts so free

It seems all things
Mean nothing at all

Whilst mothers weep

Lost to my sight
But not to my heart
Torn from life

Happy birthday to my son Benjamin x

It's much too late and I should be sleeping
The restlessness of lost souls
Can be heard above the din
Of silence
Where will I find my solice
No arms folded around my weary bones
I give in
Love bewilders me
So I shall beckon for its caress no more

To be for a moment
In the glory of your smile
Sweet in rememberence
But so sad in knowing the truth
The truth that lies behind
Those beautiful eyes

So
Sorry is a stupid word.
The thought before the action wasn’t sorry.
The action was meaningful in whatever form it took.
Keep your sorries.
Change the thoughts that run riot and cause chaos.
Action speaks loud.

Addicted to its peaceful gentle touch .
It held me in my moments
It held me ….
Rai Aug 2023
Some nights are so dark
That I can not see myself
I can not feel
I know I’m loved
But don’t know why the void inside my chest is expanding like a black hole
Life gets ****** in and through but nothing stays
There is no light
No stars to hang above my bed
In dream time I feel as though I’m falling
Another man would give in,
but I am not that man and the darkness laughs at my inability to see through this moment.
This moment and the next
This day drags and now I get no solace in sleep
For my mind is reeling
My synapses charging
My thoughts are racing
Yet I cry my tears then shrug it off again
My darkness matters to no one
No one sees me
No one hears me
I am and I feel so small
A mere particle of dust
An atom amongst atoms
I must come to realise that this silence is of my own creating
I must want this
I must need this
For the healing happens when we are stretched
When we are torn
I am opening my heart
And that’s painful
And lonely at times.
Rai Nov 2011
Within whispers
I sit alone
Unable to be the person
You thought you'd found
The one to spread a rainbow before you
And savour the wild desire you bare
I'm sorry
You just seemed to want so much
The broken man
Who has never lived
And yet has been to every corner of his existence
So transparently you hold me close
Only when there is more to me than
What I seem to give you
Do you seem to care
I never said It would be easy
You never put me anywhere between being first
And right at the bottem of the pile
No I didnt want your money
It was never about that
Thats why I didnt take it from you
Love in its purity
Was that not enough
Did you not believe it to be true
Love never breeds boredom
Love flies with birds
And holds tight to a truth
that can never be seen with the naked eye
I dont know how long
But I know its not for ever
I know your never be my
Mr right
Cos Im just not the women
You want me to be

My soul no longer weeps,
Therefore poetry is rarely created.
Though when asked for an answer to some simple question,
People remark
Oh how poetic your words.
A wordsmith you must be.
And so I guess poetry is ingrained into my very being.
And it’s weeping will flow through my life
Like a river running to quench the thirst of a hungered man.
My existence therefore
Will be to bring words to life.
To bring sunshine to the grey pavements which are the minds of those who have fallen asleep, and no longer see rainbows in the petrol stains left by leaking cars.
And who no longer want to feel the weight of the world.
Poetry will always be my purpose.
My soul
My soul is full and overflowing.
Rai Nov 2018
Autumn leaves have laid their blanket
Upon the quiet ground
Winter beckons for sleep to come
Under the surface life is frozen in
Contemplation of a new cycle of life
As you surrender your past
Like the trees surrender last years growth
As you lay bare all your woes
As the leaves lye silently crisp waiting for someone to come and kick them high or crunch them beneath their feet
The workings of your soul are forgiving
The cold of winter holds you tight as
Your heart strings sleep and heal
For soon after the ideas in your mind eye and the stirrings in your heart
Like life waiting to spring through the ground in spring
So will you be reborn of yourself
Ever knowing
Ever remembering
Ever loving the earth you step on with silent steps
You are
I am
We are all
And we are everything that is beautiful
We are the cycle of nature imbodied within time and space
And once more in the full of summer
We shall shine

She thinks she knows that I'm falling
She tries to distroy all that I hold sacred
But come let me remove my shoes and pass them over
They fit her so well
Walk awhile
Get the feeling
The feeling that is my life
But she won't be feeling what I would be feeling would she
It's no good thinking if I was in her shoes I'd be

Going mad right now

If I was in her shoes
I couldn't hang on to my sanity


Because that would just be her
With her mental issues
Pretending that she knows what's going on
In my head


So
Please don't be worried about me
Please don't go see the boss


Oh **** you already have
How kind


She couldnt even work out how to put my shoes on

I have been through life times of heart ache
I have been dragged and drugged
And punished and loved


Yes loved

That hurts the most sometimes

*Give me back my shoes now
And go look at your own reflection in the mirror
Instead of projecting onto me
Rai Jul 2013
To savour an essence so sweetly laid bare
To hold for a second the dream lost
Sadness flows freely from glass eyes
As hearts break
And the world looses the bravist of heros
Warriar of time and place
It is time to travel to worlds new
Body broken
Spirit intact
Love left to lye in hearts so golden and true
Will never fade upon this earth
It was a pleasure
To have broken bread
And laughed a little in your smile
Farewell
Au revoir
Stretch your wings
Peace be with you
This dedicated to my nephew who in his own words has been regenerated on July 11th 2013 ...
Rai Aug 2015
Meaningless words fall
Hurtful silences
Unspoken desires
The light fades
And then we are nothing more than a memory
Surely this isn't really what we call love?
Rai Jul 2013
Battered emotions
Are not weighed
Against
This storm of distruction
Where to go from here
A nightmare come true

As angel wings carry you home
Sweet soul
Linger
In memories
Of golden dreams and hopes for the future

Pain
Dives into hearts
Pinning every emotion to the ground

Hold tight sweet child
Strong in soul
But weak of body

Hell knows me
Please release me from your grasp
I need to touch heaven*

I need to see you get home safely
Rai Nov 1
Like an Autumn  leaf
That flutters bravely,
Free fall
Parachuting head first,
That’s not how this next  chapter will go.
Like a rolling wave surrendering to the shore
Always beckoning me to quench my broken bones in salted healing seas.
You feel so far from this place
And yet so near.
Hold on to the thought that all is connected.
You ,me, the rolling sea and and the falling leaf,
Tumbling and coming to a silent holy space within the cosmic realms where I find
Tall Oak,
Tall Oak I come to pray,
Will you listen to the words of one less humble?
Tall Oak speaking to the God in you from the God within me.
Was life ment to be so strange?
So confusing?
So full of nothing?
Or was the nothing put there for me to fill with life more wanting?
To fill with love more knowing ?
Or have I passed by you too many times not learning to hear you.
Tears fall cascading upon rose tinted cheeks
I will leave them to quench your thirst.
As you have given me the very oxygen needed to keep me alive,
So too have you given me my greatest lessons and my moments of longing are replaced somehow
With a new understanding
Between Tall Oak,the floating leaf,  the rolling seas and you and me
I find my truth…
Just open your mind a little and let the words come forth  to play ,weave and mingle with all that surrounds us and then poetry will once more dance forth and land where it will.
