the teeth which rip the fruit's flesh,
the smell of clean sheets

Monday, October 17, 2011

I don't know the way,
I don't have the heart to fight,
I walk straight ahead
falling like raindrops,
leaf buffeted by the wind,
I'm at your mercy

Sunday, October 16, 2011

walking on the sand
the wind swirls and I am blind
momentarily

carved into the water
of photons and shells

between the road and the grave
breathing silent pause

the seasons cycle and fall
the forest's calm dignity

grabbing the last days
before the autumn sets in -
jobs in the garden

Thursday, September 1, 2011

from clouds to oceans - pulled by
the circulation

dead eyes in the earth
seeing only worms and soil -

sailing companion

Thursday, August 25, 2011

my own bile chokes me
I suffocate in hatred -

i wish i was kind
deep down i call you a cunt
I poison myself
I hear the drumming
it's just the sound of the rain -
wash away the moon

Wednesday, August 24, 2011

the stagnant river
the smell of your love for him.
Be happy for you?

Tuesday, August 23, 2011

I eat the gravel
and smell the scent of grey paint
moon dust is my soap

with sausage fat, soured cream
and cheese - life is short

little by little
despite the nargles biting
progress is achieved

the social contract
broken by the feckless poor,
or the government,

Divided society

Saturday, August 6, 2011

the only escape
when the anxiety dreams come
is insomnia

Friday, August 5, 2011

I drift in shadows
muttering jangles and scraps,
in search of a fix

Thursday, August 4, 2011

I died and became
a dispersing atom crowd
like ink in the sea
slip under water
mingle with the light - fine points
of supplicant rain
shower of fragments
melody and razor blades
catharsis silver

Wednesday, August 3, 2011

dissolve the salt blood
drain the blue memory pool
free the green river

struggling to walk in step
looping and phasing

absorbing daylight
sitting in my garden - cat
asleep on my lap

Tuesday, July 26, 2011

retracing my steps
in charcoal - memory smears -
I find leaves falling

Monday, July 25, 2011

I drink the poison
the dripping chittering yew
sliding through my head

Sunday, July 24, 2011

the wasp husk, rotting
and mouldy, stirs - out creeps fear
insect sharp - swollen

Saturday, July 23, 2011

to live without hope
step by step - renounce desire
and endure the void

Friday, July 22, 2011

hybridization
interzones and border guards

a central black hole
fire, ice and isolation
my galaxy - home

Sunday, July 17, 2011

waning gibbous moon
the spring tide rising - July
and the rain washes
to rip a whisper
from a dream of longing sand
the waves dissolved

Saturday, July 16, 2011

the blood and river
the eyes scarred by diamond grit
the white noise roaring

Friday, July 15, 2011

post apocalypse
dreamscape of feral nature
Buddleja and rain

I worked long and hard
my stubborn will bent like yew -
springing back to shape

Saturday, July 9, 2011

the cells trapped in bone
the emergent behaviour
of mind in the brain

Friday, July 8, 2011

a storm on Saturn
the far away violence
politics and lives

Thursday, July 7, 2011

I feel the river
fingers dipped into the water -
Soar, Trent, Humber, sea

Wednesday, July 6, 2011

cogs in the machine
true, yet we can maneuver -
trapped with space to move -
if one moves - it ripples out
trapped - not powerless

Tuesday, July 5, 2011

Winter passed to Spring
the grass where crocuses grew
shaved and yellowing

water from the tap
cool and clear like love, washing
the thirst from yearning

Wednesday, June 29, 2011

the cunt of freedom
intoxicating riot
boundaries and peace

Tuesday, June 28, 2011

feel the eyelids droop
taking a languorous blink
sudden start - cat nap

Monday, June 27, 2011

the little corporals
are taking names on the bus
Don't go home tonight
Stay with me and dance at last
For tomorrow the sky falls
I curl and wither
bowed with a weight of madness
frost burned fern - brittle

Sunday, June 26, 2011

forget the mad eyes
I send towards you - frost sharp
I regret my snow
whirling colour sea
still point in a dark spotlight
I sit amidst life
spider on the breeze
paragliding on a thread
risks predatory joy

Saturday, June 25, 2011

shoots and leaves appear
oak saplings in bonsai pots -
despite the dry Spring

Friday, June 24, 2011

the perfume I bought
the present gathering dust
bottled emotions

Thursday, June 23, 2011

found when I was drunk
a little plastic tiger
vulnerable strength

Wednesday, June 22, 2011

lying in the bath
drifting off smoking a spliff -
before my break down
waiting at the bar
the pint of Guinness settles
pattern in the foam

Tuesday, June 21, 2011

sitting on the bus
listening to my iPod
going home from work

Monday, June 20, 2011

unable to make
a strong statement of colour
i see shadows; break;

Sunday, June 19, 2011

the empty vortex
another voice in the wind
cast adrift in sand

Saturday, June 18, 2011

get back on the bike
journey miles in the darkness
through the woods and moors

Friday, June 17, 2011

putrescence - maggots
childhood memories - madness
cloud of flies - alone

Thursday, June 16, 2011

hand in the river
connected by arteries
the oceans linked poles

Wednesday, June 15, 2011

slice my soul - river
put the feelings on a shelf
wash the silence - stroke

Tuesday, June 14, 2011

the lightening parade
and thunder rush, tequila
and youth screaming wild

Monday, June 13, 2011

gumption test, a wall
struggle past, moving in steps
mountain canal locks

Sunday, June 12, 2011

walking the long road
destination far away
my focus wavers

Saturday, June 11, 2011

sail and steal moments
the pirates of happiness
the flag of bones flies

Friday, June 10, 2011

insomnia strikes
sleep my friend my enemy
taut relationship

Thursday, June 9, 2011

the sinews and roots
intertwined - naked - gasping
tendrils of glass - raw

Wednesday, June 8, 2011

threadbare hope covers
the shadow, stretched thin and lean,
poverty worn socks

Tuesday, June 7, 2011

my love hides with rain
the shadows and the darkness
my soul splintered bare

Monday, June 6, 2011

particles and waves
the periodic table
with electron shells

Sunday, June 5, 2011

wandering footsteps
parched earth and naked flame
plastic detritus

Saturday, June 4, 2011

changing light and rain
a crisp packet full of pain
and stars recycled
the rhythms and waves
death and water flow, recycle
atoms into stars
tomorrow tumbles
down the calendar, like a
domino wave
The still pool of faith
evaporates in silence
like ether, like eyes
the dealers and thieves
musicians in the basement
bohemian knives
changing light and rain
the razor blades and sunshine
the clouds toboggan

Friday, June 3, 2011

the bricks I carry
to build a structure of ice
in the summer sun

Thursday, June 2, 2011

walking through the park
past alcoholics and dealers
sunbathers and kids

Wednesday, June 1, 2011

I splinter and break
ceramic security
brittle mind and heart

Tuesday, May 31, 2011

ask not for summer
let the seasons run their course
Record changing light

Monday, May 30, 2011

bubbling jitters
roaring stark in my mind's ear
hullabaloo blood
heart thump, screaming reds
the yammer and the swirling
panic attack shriek
slice and dice, drip drip
blood flow spatter suicide
bathroom red sprinkles

Sunday, May 29, 2011

blood flows through my veins
oxygenated fluid
5 litres circles

Saturday, May 28, 2011

sitting in the cave
watching shadows on the wall
language and ideas

Friday, May 27, 2011

I swim in language
I lack gills to breathe the words
I dive and struggle
I swim in language
it ripples across my skin
talk, books - swirling words
sing of the tiger
capitalism
my father, sunset
listen to the song
in my dream you were asleep
the river, the sky
return to a book
revisit forgotten words
gentle balloon ride

Thursday, May 26, 2011

gaze into the fire

I don't know where the path leads
darkness eats my eyes

Saturday, March 12, 2011

i loathe you and yet
i will always love you, yet
you break my heart, but
my anxiety
I drown in it, bloated corpse,
the stench vomits forth

At sea in my bed

Saturday, March 5, 2011

i don't fight for you
i don't fight with hope inside
suicide pain - fear

8 years to say a quick - bye
the holocaust ghosts

Wednesday, February 23, 2011

I want to make you
come like the dawn bright and weak
relentless crescendo
I want to put my hand
between your legs and make you
pant and gasp release
In the port wine depth
I love you more than my soul
taste the blood and salt
swim with me tonight
feel the current of darkness
shimmering dreams
the velvet embrace
of the chocolate darkness
in the peaceful pool

Tuesday, February 22, 2011

I survived the day
wine replaced hope - finger nails -
clinging on with dust

Monday, February 21, 2011

nothing to live for
I've no reason to endure
I may just step out

follow the river
across alien landscapes
find the source of dreams

Friday, February 18, 2011

light passes through me
I'm a confidence shaped hole
drawn in dust and blood
weather of my mind
drizzle erodes my heart, frost
fractures endurance

incense fills the house
the wide open mountain sky
the smoke coils and rolls

choking on the dust
crumbled hopes and withered dreams
the mirage ahead

orbiting the clock
my body clock drifts, daylight
phasing in and out

Thursday, January 27, 2011

polis, urban space
masala of immigrants
the raucous music

the polis, guildhall
rats and cats and the river
Roman baths, McDonald's

creative interzone
jobs, shops and traffic wardens
parks, pubs, dog shit, noise

I love my city
the exuberant ragged flow
detritus magic

Naked you run for your life,
watch everything precious burn.

suicide thoughts fill my head,
tangled in jangles

the search for a job
my greatest enemy - fear,
another breakdown

corinthian glass
the blotting paper
a sketch in one thousand tears
stains of memory

filled my soul from your eyes and
then you walked away

a shark circling, swirl, storm,
static fried neurons

hours of struggling uphill
but now the code works

of stress and anxiety
inside my stomach
