i am a survivor, i am a scavenger, i am a man with
no shame. i am an artist, i am a writer, i am an
iconoclast. i am a lover, i am a creator, i am a
destroyer. i am quality, i am worthless, i am absence.
i am man, i am conqueror, i am world-ender. i am an
addict, i am old, i am wizened. i am free, i am
young, i am unnurtured. i am secret, i am becoming,
i am a wreck. i am a shadow, i am oblivious, i am
obvious. i am obscene, i am abhorrent, i am hidden. i
am a seeker, i abstain – i am a liar. i am a deceiver, i am
an actor, i am unknowable. i am entirety, i am
citizen, i am insolence. i am thought, i am concept, i
am revoked. i am wanderer, i am thoughtless, i am
lost. i am undying, i am inured, i am fleeting. i am
alive, i am mythologized, i am end. i am a thief, i am
a monster, i am alive. i am a philosopher, i am a
thinker, i am superfluous. i am good, i am evil, i am
unaligned. i am pragmastic, i am irrational, i am
common sanity. i am emotional, i am withheld, i am
interred. i am new, i am ruined, i am interregna. i am
proper, i am erased, i am discrection. i am sought, i
am not, i am simple. i am somnolent, i am erratic, i
am errancy. i am abstinence, i am uncontrolled, i am
the world. i am fraught, i am emptiness, i am
humanity. i am dandelion, i am magnolia, i am an
albatross. i am talent, i am intelligence, i am
fettered.    i am here and now, i am then and when,
                     i am done.
i am malice, i am harm, i am self-destruction.
i am a fighter, i am encephalic, i am lost.
i am alone, i am alive, i am free.

sloshing through
the pipes, rats riding
a winding wave notwithstanding
the pull of the riptide untied and tried
typically clear blue true without you
unrhymed but confined and unheard
born broken unnurtured and blind
further outside of my mind you lined
the blinds with ******

but I heard her outside the lines
a herder, she shined in my eyes
reflecting signs of sobbing sighs
releasing white withering pines
bare blown apart mines
bland broken times
...meh
Wintry bellies full of remorse give birth to forgiveness in Springs
unnurtured fledgelings hop around unable to use their wings

The taste of putrid bile,
It burns,
It's vile,
I lose all smiles.
Knots wrap around within.
Inwards purging
Themselves.
Pulling & tugging, demanding
A way out.
As claustrophobic
As a restricted heart
Sinking in my stomach,
That gurgles.
The waves washing
Around the anchor,
Dead (weight) in
A cast out sea
Of polluted waters.
But don't you see,
That the ghost
In me,
Is only found in
This very sea.
Bile;
Bitter, putrid, vile,
Choking on
A body retching,
An empty soul.
Unnurtured, wasted
It wants out of,
Me.
A heart
Beating; blistering red.
A raw throat,
A choke
A cough
A very solitary single
Tear
Drop.
And so, my saving grace
Is what feels like
An ocean of pain,
Within me,
That has yet to pour out,
Thus not drowning
Me,
At sea.

This is about the impact, emotionally, spiritually, mentally and physically, of anxiety that is manifesting itself right now.
Not about an eating disorder.

My desires hook themselves to
the lingering dreams of
lost kisses.
Enamelling the decrepit walls
of my
sanity,
like the soft echoes
of your last whispers,
or like a tortured memory,
drifting and unnurtured
cascading within the depths of
delirium.
To remember what never was there.

And Regina said
my sons you will soon understand
that
give them a yard they will take a mile
you see the maths is quite simple
from the onset they were born deprived
which in turn made them distressed
which in turn made them desperate
which in turn made them discontents
which in turn made them disjointed
which in turn made them deranged
which in turn made them deplorable
which in turn made them despicable
so expect them
to be disgusting deviant and dishonourable
and remember
in graceful gratitude and due decorum
that whilst they are born devoid and are distasteful
it is in your blood to be dignified and distinguished

"So, I've coveted fruit from an unlikely tree.
You can call me hopeless and blind, but I don't need my eyes,
I have other senses, baby, and they're in tune with your need.
For, I've heard you calling, from far and away.
It's under my skin, your unnurtured seed.

You can cry, for I hear you, as you moan and you ache.
It lies in the heart of your soul, baby come if you can.
I would never deprive what is yours to take.
But, what you know in your heart isn't quite in your mind.
You lack the release you crave; human nature unkind.

I'm always here to take care of you, sweet banshee.
When, between your legs you want to weep and quiver.
You'll soar through the heavens with unbridled glee.
Electric feeling on your skin never fails.
Banshee speak to me in wails."

The ember of time
Lights like a fire
In the embracing of a concept
That took a nightcap
And the candid, are really sure of the phone call
That lit up the thirst for knowledge
Of redundant problems that require further realization
It's feeling, no modus operandi, no feeling of veritable nature
In this compromising mother of nature
Since the wide eyes fallaciously wake
And the indolent breezes that wash over me like sirens
The loudness of the morning sun wakes me up
Like the smiling Sun prays for the unnurtured
From the dark, you can see the light
If you dig further into your force of nature

Those that want attentions
are in dire needs lacking
those that are reflective sees the emptiness
that underpins the needs for attentions
and a story that go way back
to children left unnurtured
who will never
quite grow up
