Biography

Welcome.

I'd like you to consign me a writer and not a poet. Poetry instigates verse and structure, clearly my recollection with these is not apparent. I embarked young and infused streams of consciousness and sometimes active writing to my rag, hoping for devastating effect.

And on 2nd November 2008 I gave up writing poetry.

Samples

Watching Her Undress

The allure of rose hip oil and La Perla.
Lull me to her pillow.
Possible amalgamations of clothing discourage her.
I'm comatose by reflections of splendour in the mirror.

Such an envy I have for the mirror.
A voyeur
An imaginary acquaintance
Scrutinized how she's grown.
To an extent, an impostor.

She
Is careful to the point of self consciousness
I
Am careful to the point of excitement.
Royal flush.

Inhale, exhale.
The boiled peach of her stomach
Shows a glow of after love
Do you love me, she enquires
Revealing silk.

A glint in her eyes.
Of the demeanour about to befall.
For my innate nature,
I arrange myself, into the chasm
Of her true devotion.

Breaking The Bread

On a freight train, we toasted our beginning.
Our triumph from our anguish, our long cold anguish.
We laughed at our sorrow and madness, happiness was then a minority.
We wore a tie on Sundays, with no place to go.
Patent shoes and suspenders, dressed on the day of rest.
The consistency of saddness amounted to quiet cursing at meal times.
Ayin kafin yan - our best Yiddish.
On release, cheers and jeers.
Petty repentence as the staccato cries
Sirens hush, while cheeks they blush.

I

The love I once originated

still reverberates

The existence is the pain,

a victim, only of situation

The love I still hold,

Is inclusive

The situation was raped

Rudely forced

The pain is the tear on

The violet dusk and an echo

On dawns royal sky.

The memories fragment indifferently

The face is a hero,

She’s not found on a a coin,

Or a note, not stamp

Or metal carving

But inside a torn muscle

Displayed on a tapestry

In the Serenissima

For I am no hero,

I do not coexist with her

She has become my Elizabeth

Unswayed by my passions

The terror caused screams,

Eyes to fall, open, open

Close, close, roll, roll.

My eyes sing a sad sad song,

Number one, on the news,

Dressed in a wooden suit,

Futile existence, unprecedented

time, sniff sniff,

snuff snuff, sniff sniff snuff

snudd snuff

snuffed.

Thanks for your comments on old Doc Curio - it started as a Halloween joke!
