Flames of Desire
Another lust-filled homecoming poem – dedicated to my love ♥
your ravenous desire sucks the air from my lungs oh, our reckless desire we are burning up turn the flames up higher feel the heat, the beat keep the fire burning that moment when we meet let me feel your desire ….. tonight, my love I will have you

Clarity
only when we acknowledge that we are all mad will it all make sense and mysteries, contradictions will no longer be …….. life stands still clarity achieved

Whose Rules
like shifting desert sands rules keep changing greedy corporates keeping the leash short work hard, be honest play by the rules it all comes to naught they fuck you over hung out to dry despite playing fair they don’t care you still fucked

Some Kind of Pain
oh that exquisite beautiful tragedy giving birth to amazing creativity ….. nobody feels any pain nobody feels any joy ……. to feel joy you must first experience pain ……. or is it the other way round?

The Road oft Travelled
travelling into my space that road oft travelled neither visitor or tenant be just passing by stopping to stare donning spectacles of perspective discovering what lies beneath as I a passer-by be dream or dead space? haunted by conversations of those who reside on yonder neighbours they not be in transit, not overnighting reading what lies beneath obligated to document that others might believe

My Poetry is …..
neither a shout or a scream not a whimper or a whisper …..... but an eruption of emotion from within …....... once released it plots its own path and passion towards darkness or light ...

Alive, but?
duty calls conflicting with the heart which is more important what do we know? does not knowing burden the weary traveller sadness presses down but we are alive beaten down by the weight of fate alone we stand shoulder to shoulder how cautious can we be? stand up and be free whilst continuously coming up for air

Obligations of Life
outward bound battered suitcase by my side backpack slung over shoulder closing door pushes me out taxi, plane and bus awaits on the road again wife and lover left behind mama don’t cry for me as I go down that lonesome road again not to live just to work off to work I go obligations, complexity …. perspective still it sucks
