Do you think maybe you could try just a little harder? The earth under your shoulders is starting to mould And I think the air in your heart is stale, Off like old milk Or had you not noticed? It seems you never notice the way my world darkens How the clouds swoop in And I'm left choking, Unguarded... Sign in to see full entry.

WASH AWAY...

Another older poem, probably written around the same time as the last one. Wash away these empty years Spilt and fondled away in small town gambles, Serrated, poisoned And so filthy with lies it’s almost greedy. Damned and ripped to the point of living death, Nothing more than a specter of... Sign in to see full entry.

WILTED ROSE

This is an older poem, I think I wrote it a couple of months ago. Slowly wilting like a slaughtered rose, And the blood red droplets of life trickling, Seeping into the washed out frame of everything I always thought I knew; And how the knowledge never bothered to stay. The shards of fragmented... Sign in to see full entry.

I NEVER WANTED YOU TO GO

Why would you let the world sink away at your feet? Let the polluted fragrance of hate slip into your smile And drown the sparkle in your step? I woke every morning in the sticky remnants of my tears, The stench of disbelief in my brain The sour odour of regret, Pungent like the leftovers of a year... Sign in to see full entry.

They crossed paths everyday, Watched as their lives melted from reach. They spoke in different tongues, In a language that seethed and burnt itself out on hurt; They watched the sun set in different hues, Plant its ragged body in a bed worlds apart, Witnessed the stars speed and die in a...

CAN'T FORGET

It’s so hard to forget when very little is remembered And most of the time what withered away was never yours to begin with. The salivating skies drooled in pools of bloodshed Wept into a fake hand of healing and robbed you blind, You cowered in the corner not out of fear But out of a contempt for...

About this Blog

My poetry...usually at its best when I'm struggling to grasp hold of reality. Beautifully dark and always lost in the imagery of fluttering mental stability...I have been writing poetry since I was 11 years old and it has always been my best friend, and at times my worst enemy also.
