The Fire
you lay numb
hypotherminc, dying
the fire, it dances
taunting, flickering, in and out
like hope
hope that it may help
help to that your frozen fingertips
slow your chattering teeth
soothe, ebb the icy grasp of the violent, pulsing
piercing burning
that is your fear and your doubt and denial
the drowning, whispering, screaming
wave that comes crashing

Bonds
My life is like skyfall, I wonder if I am Mr Bond,
This is a story of unfixed bonds, as I watch them fall apart.
paternal or maternal, some internal, it’s forever chaos.
Wonder whose funeral will I attend first,
Mine or theirs, I pray it's not mine.
Something you are fond of its called a bond,
Mine lately feel faded, don't know if they are bladed yet.
I see us back on our jade...

Regret
I watched myself turn to something,
A person I was afraid to be.
Swallowed by anger, hatred and resentment,

Don't know if that's karma saved for me.

on a blank, unforgiving page?
Is it wise to seek solace in poetry
when every act of writing
is seen as an act of selfishness

Ich Du
“Ich du, Ich du!”
Those words meant nothing to you.
Nought but bindings
Tethering me to you.
Your loving face turned hard,
Your gaze hurting me like barbs.
“Ich du, Ich du!”
The words that bind me to you.
Your ghastly glare
Evoking within me so much fear.
“I truly do love you dear,”
Barely but a long-lost whisper in my ears.
Your gentle touch tur...
