Little cheeky 'yay' for me!
I have had 'I Disappear' published!!
It's in a book called ' Uplifting Moments' , published by United Press. It will be available in shops from 2012 and contains loads of other great pieces by other people.
Aside from the fact that mine is in it, it is a great book, and seems so far, to have something for everyone. See United Press' website for more info if you're interested. They also ...

For a moment
Where the ocean meets the sky
The sun will kiss the waves
and say
I've missed thee.

In a land of broken dreams
I'm alive
fresh, like a virgin
Surfacing,
humming exchange
I want to start something
I'm falling away from me
into the grooves
What do you want from me,
with your western eyes?
The truth is miles away
in the land of confusion.
Am I Evil?
Friday 12th August 2011 11:02 pm
Know who i am.
come into me
fold yourself and feel me
sink yourself to my depths
and try to swim
swallow your own sickness
and try to breathe
come into me
see who i am and
still remain
be who i am and
try not to break
be what i need
and try to stay
come into me
and know me.

Pea - COCK
Liar!
Fronting your fear behind
fanned feathers,
bloating your breast
to boost your boast.
How you cheat me!
Don't you know your
rainbow isn't real?
Screaming to
sightless spectators,
toe-trampling to
the top spot.
Pretender!
Don't you know you're
cousin to a turkey?

Untitled
In turmoil,
tremors ripple below the surface.
Shuddering,
jolting through an unfurnished heart.
Cracks appear,
figments and thoughts creep out,
slick and vindictive.
Fixtures and fittings strewn,
mania sets in,
flagrant and blind yet sincere.
Stumbling onward,
torpid, into the gulf.

Hurt
I saw myself today
Through eyes I’d never used
I had to turn away
Startled by the truth
I hate the me I am
Ashamed that this is Me
I made the me I am
Created what you see
The more I paint my eyes
In shades of black and grey
The more I see the lines
Deepen everyday
They write the things I’ve done
They tell what I can not
They name mistakes ...

No title
the eyes of the world are staring
following my every move
everybody's scrutinising
judging the roads that i choose
the eyes of the world never see me
i'm hiding behind a cracked mask
they only see what i show them
nobody bothers to ask
sometimes my hurt spills all over
nobody knows what to do
somewhere within i am dying
sometimes, i dont get to choose.

Blue-Eyes
Blue-Eyes cried.
Bathed in flat moonlight,
soiled by incestuous hands,
she cried.

Blameless
She didn't tell
She didn't know
She was just a child
A child lost
in a grown up world
Confused
Accepting.
She couldn't tell.
She couldn't know.
She was just a child.
A child not guilty.
Can't be blamed
Can't be shamed.
I was just a child.

My affliction
Crawl out from under my skin,
it's beginning to hurt.
Silver on china, you abuse my ears
and i'm close to implosion.
The pins and needles you leave me
are cruel and undeserved.
You infect me.
You infect me.
Riddled with you,
you are the seizure that bites my tongue,
the sickness that plagues my thoughts
each night i'm alone.
The touch of your eyes burns,
i've too ma...

i sailed to no-mans island
in a raft made for two
i never said that i was going
but i guess i always knew.
i took a book about survival
but all the pages blew away,
had a compass in my pocket
but the needle wouldn't lay.
so i walked along the shoreline
heading for a some-no-where
and as i looked beyond my shoulder
i saw no footprints there.
so i trawled along the beach

Lonely Hill
Death-blooms rest upon loam
as shifting zephyrs whisper requiem.
Grieving thunderheads split,
unfolding obscurity and
saddening the horizon.
The velveteen succor of night
abandons without regret
and i am left alone to resent the day.

Hold on to the roots,
they'll pull you under,
slip, slide,
downride,
wormholes wander.

so i don't grow back

so i cant grow back
let go of these roots
they're pulling you under,
slip, slide

Hourglass
rejected before she could give cause.
needle highs surround as stale air hangs
yesteryear melodies and dust-glitter float aimless
emptiness echoes sorrow
and windows hide truth
people pass on by.
she came of age before time
to whispers of threat and empty promise
to young to understand, she kept it buried
masked
she was me and her ...

Crying out
I am my own undoing.
A constant unravelling in myself,
too long to wind up again.
Too many threadbare holes,
revealing my dead heart,
letting the black spill out into you.
Gather up these fibres,
knit the ends if you can.
Cauterize me.

Farewell
Clouds burst
and as the songbird sings its lullaby
my tears begin.
In Cimmerian shade,
lonesome and fragmented,
i let myself fall.
Engulfed by frigid water,
skin taut and sallow,
my thoughts become void.
Monday 23rd May 2011 2:22 pm
Just to say i will be blogging some stuff that i have blogged before, but since deleted when i went slightly mad!

Sunset
Drowning in a sea of tragedy,
engulfed by relentless waves of
heartache and despair,
I fill my lungs.
Burning deep inside as I am
removed,
loose-limbed and euphoric,
I fall towards the blackness of release.
Numbing cold creeps through
my waning heart, stopping the hurt
and I cry,
tearless and relieved.
The last light of the day is always the...

Stronghold lost
Windows that never wore glass
let the cold in more than ever.
Outside, the dried-up moat
offers no protection,
vulnerable, we suffer.
Cracked between the bricks
and crumbling fast,
these castle walls are falling.
Exposed, we shrivel,
shrink back against the cold, hard floor,
self-afflicted and pitiful,
resigned to ruin and shame.
Surrounded by walls that stand no more.

crimson-lipped viper smile
and sly-fox eyes fail to mask your
contempt.
Nose tipped to the wind, self
importance adds height to your
stature yet we see only vanity.
Undeserved and over-blown.
False-fronted, you strain to better
the rest, turning tail when you dont,
hiding 'til your next new thing.
Marigolds to dust the shrubs and
baubles for effect,
no brass tacks in you...

Deep rooted
Craven, i kneel at your feet,
crystal eyes implore you,
pathetic and needy.
Frigid disdain matches my gaze,
self disgust turns my eye to the ground
as you sneer with approval at my shame.
Satisfied with my agony and excited by control,
you play,
taunting
Puppet-master wins again.

Amnesia haze
wander into mary's garden,
stroll amongst the weeds,
catch a rug to old morroco,
high above the trees
sink into the deepest ocean
lie among the wrecks,
let the stone-fish teach you how
to let your self forget.
drift along a tendril green
into a river jade,
wash away the fears you have and
past mistakes you made
sledge down slopes of ignorance
and land into the bliss

exit route to nowhere
woodworms came calling,
left a cruel mark on me.
thoughts tumble fast now
through holes i don't see.
woodpeckers woodpeckers
you're just the same,
picking and pecking
at all but my name
chase the bunny down
the tunnel,
and a dead end you will find,
a labyrinth in reflection
of my gnarled and rotten mind.
woodworms, oh, woodworms
each hole is a door

Time-riding
riding the hours again
coasting from one to the next
re-fueling every half,
much more than really needed.
over-spilling ashtray,
each one a five minute filler,
markers on a munberless clock.
endless peeks through curtained glass,
veiling the blackness outside.
time waits not for me
but me for it,
weary and flat,
like the grey dawn that eventually comes.

Diplomatic acceptance
Tolerated if only to avoid ruction,
she's faceless and bland.
A greasy, miserable wench,
who owns no redemption.
Conceited words spill over,
rushing to exagerrate status.
Repeated time and again
with growing monotony.
Unaware of the disdain
thats follows her, she
waits for praise and awe,
expecting it without cause.
Slowly pushing everyone away,
she doesn't se...

Bloodrush
Bloodrush interrupts the silence,
a sudden offence to the still.
Cocooned in marshmallow,
foetal and calm,
i breathe.
I breathe in unison with my
beating heart,
a soothing constant to
pacify me awhile.
Briefly satisfied,
I sleep.
I sleep,
restless and fretful,
no longer eased by bloodrush.
Silence given over to the
tormented wail of my dream.
Frantic,

Burned at both ends,
thought train derails.
Time stops but tick remains
a midnight metronome.
Long minutes stretch
from small hours.
Start catches stop.

a bitter-sweet affair
Walls bend, introspective.
A looking-glass of truths
i'd never seen.
Green lens,
self-destructive,
helter-skelter
to obscurity.
Soft-soap and sugar-coat
until the lie is fundamental fact.
Insatiable,
lungful of loathing,
take me somewhere pretty.
For awhile.
Kamikaze crash-landing,
hits hard from behind.
Lead balloons sink fast.

driftwood
small, chubby hands
pat, dimples winking
she scoops again,
spade quivering.
little by little
grain upon grain
and then complete,
driftwood beacon atop.

weakening, taunting.
her castle crumbles
and washes away
with the lowering sun.
driftwood beacon
left behind.

Times when you should hide your laughter
She looks at me with a serious face,
hands on hips, not a hair in place.
'Me pissed on floor', she says with pride,
seeking approval with innocent eyes.
My jaw falls slack and i stop dead,
she grins and simply nods her head.
''Tell me again, what did you do?'
'Me pissed on the floor and me wet too'
I have to turn to hide my laughs
to get an answer when i ask,

Luster lost
cumulus ruptures
ice-white spikes the eye.
a periwinkle-fringed backdrop
ambles above
a veridian tapestry,
dotted with blossom-spots
and lollipop trees.
cumulus broods
leadened mushrooms writhe
petulant slated billows
charge above
shifting obscurity,
moth-eaten windows
showing the luster lost.

Sweet valentine of mine
Sweet valentine,
i'll watch from the shadows as you sleep,
stifle my breath as you shift beneath the sheets.
I'll take myself wherever you go,
patient, quietly excited.
Sweet valentine,
i'll wait as you comb your hair,
fingers entwined in ribbons of silk
I'll pause, enchanted as you caress balm
into your skin,
creamy porcelain laced in black.
Sweet valentine,

Dreamer
Golden-copper stretched far beyond his eye,
the swell of corn yielding to a late breeze
made him think of home, the gentle waves
almost lapping at his feet.
He dreamed of another life, a world where
he was no longer rooted to the same spot,
where he could be free.
Looking down at the parched soil,
knowing it was useless to dream,
he slowly started to flake.
Layer by layer he...

Antelope canyon
copper sun lights the
age-worn curves,
softening the harsh edges
with hazy shadow.
the gentle rise and fall of time
throws images of women,
provocotive and ethereal.
drawn to exquisiteness,
i return time and again.
Forever enchanted.

i disappear
Pour me over the rocks again.
I'll seep down through the cracks
and disappear.
Spread myself thinly amongst the grit
and pool in tiny hollows
to leave a hint of what was.
My sediment will stay for a while,
'til the afternoon sun burns,
and i will fade away
like an early morn' dream.
Forgotten.

just the way it is
Sometimes the biggest effort
can have little effect,
and you're left with
a constant reminder,
like a knife in the gut.
Sometimes the smallest effort
rewards the most,
an efficient deluge
almost brimming over,
bringing satisfaction.
Sometimes, you perch on the fence,
neither easy nor hard,
and the end result is
usually the same.
Sometimes, no matter how

Left turn
Floating the edge of insanity
with a torn umbrella
and a book of hello,
written in a thousand tongues.
Not that it matters,
if you stop talking for long enough,
no-one hears when you do.
Pulling at loose threads, knowing
sooner or later they'll come undone
and the tea wont be so cosy anymore,
flip-flop goes the fish on dry land
slowly strangled by the air.

My childhood rainbow
Sunny yellow sharps bin
by the sofa side,
blue and green, the bruises,
upon my beaten hide,
dirty orange on sodden sheets
where, in the night, i lay
when Black came in and
ruined me and took my youth away.
the shameful red that
burns below has never left me yet,
Only lessened by the grey
of it's deadened coverlet.
Tuesday 25th January 2011 2:06 pm
What would you do?
would you cry for me if i died today?
would you mourn or work the time away?
would you see my picture and grasp your heart
or would you tear that picture right apart?
would you lie for me if i asked you to?
would you cover up an awful truth?
would you lower your eyes or turn away?
when asked would you give the game away?
would you die for me if it came to that?
would you take ...

untitled again
Floodlit blind and shrinking small
faces loom and form a wall
No escape and no reprise
i am on the run
Broken down and twisted out
faces turn to voice and shout
No free pass and no back door
i have come undone
Where were you when i fell?
Didn't you hear my cries?
You could have been my help
but now i'm out of time.
On the stand and on the spot

Fancy adding to this???
Found these few words but hit a brick wall. If anyone fancies adding a bit, feel free. Or several of you for that matter! See what comes from it?
Glass screams shatter through the cold, stone walls,
echoed by a cruel wind.
Outside the snow-blanketed ground is harsh,
it's fleecy coverlet hiding a frozen, unforgiving
quarry.

Never alone
If the sky falls
And the world ends,
I’ll be there with you.
If the stars fade
And the moon dulls,
I’ll be there with you.
If the sun holds
An eternal eclipse
And the black night consumes,
I’ll be there with you.
When your hearts’ last beat
Has been and gone
And your eyes are blank inside,
I’ll be there with you.
