Elusive Slumber

Unplanned slumbers sudden awakening
That sinking foreboding feeling for no reason
An E down without tainted blood
Such talent achieving chemical free

Lethargy replaces zest
The perfect melancholy song
You know you can find it
Ask the You Tube genie

Those sandstorms in your eyes
Conflict repose eroding your soul
Don’t wakeup your nightmare
Miss insomnias awaiting her share
A thief in sandman’s paradise
Fearless of the subconscious phantasm
Langolier’s come at night if your lucky

Sunflowers

Why won’t it leave my head
I want it to, I need it to
I think
I feel, I want to unfeel
I see, I want to unsee
Some memories still scream
Burnt to disc
c:/format immortally encrypted

Long stares into my eyes
Long stares into my eyes
Retinal memory emulsion
Waiting in temporal’s queue to fade away
When sunflowers forget the sun

Darkness Falling

Midnight is no escape
Life’s reflection leaks to consciousness
A relentless flow of darkness
Where’s the light gone?
Supposedly peaceful pre sleep
Is an anxiety petrii dish
Tortured hours or Alprazolam

Financial calamity
Deceitful blonde nightmares
Costume Swindles & disappointments
A life steeped in nothingness
A deep hole for a trapped life
Headlines
“Personal failures redouble digging efforts”

Trying so hard to please, everyone
Taken for granted
Enhancements are difficult to find
And never free, why are they assumed to be?
One should not expect anything in return for time and love
Occasionally it would be nice, perhaps I’m just malnourished
Though few and far between, personal touches count the most
No one can be bothered these days
So it’s empty words and few actions
Life is a mountain or a chasm
K2’s western face looks inviting

Destination Unknown

Destination is the key
I’ve found the lock with no keyhole
Are you ok day
The phone lies in deathly silence, as expected
My ears ring more life than sciences cables can muster
Or is that monster, the monsters in my dreams

My daily makeup is invisible, yet a mask of iron
My weekend makeup is a layered masterpiece
An hour’s labour can’t hide the soul
Both disguises are showing fatigue
A holiday’s remorse
It should have been more than it was
All that was possible is merely shadows of times past

They say I need to smile more, I should smile more
I smile occasionally, believe me that’s a miracle
The miracle of temporary amnesia
Forget every fucking thing & perhaps you can smile, for a while
My timing is terrible I was told once
It hasn’t improved

Cupids Arrow

The long bows feathered missile buried deeply
Soft, ripe virginal tissue is always waiting for barb razors strike
This cupids arrowheads are forever talons
Eternity was assured before the bowstrings draw

Indiscriminate archers should stay they’re bows
If the queen’s heart is absent, there is no point
Fatigued wooden splinters litter times marched path
Each fracture a memory shock therapy

Shaft worn now to an immortal stub
Immune now to weathers grinding grasp
Still catches snags from time to time
Linked to kinetic sluice gates
On fantasies primordial sea

Some bullets can never be removed, inoperable
I guess there’s room for another
After all, Robin split the arrow with the one in a thousand shot
Or was that one in a million

Cocaine and Cosmo’s

Cocaine’s bitter greeting
A numbing tracheotomy
Eyes sparkle with confidence
Nature’s circuitry enhanced

Salt tinged Cosmopolitan’s soothing touch
A crimson quenched delight
Lipstick smears staining crystal
Her sugar plum claws moist in cocktail dew

While Cocaethylene’s new twist germinates
Thoughts drift in eddies of time
Through invisible tears and bittersweet smiles

Essex Calling

Nature’s cloudscape spectacle fills my eyes
Another perfect sky now the summer’s storms have broken
I laugh inside a Facebook messages relief
Fuck Off, how funny is that!
Classless confirmation of what I already knew

With deceit flowing like shadows hiding from the sun
Criminal assault convictions there’s always reasons
Selfish sunrises steal light from honest souls
Professional skills on display to all
Mouth overflowing with employment
Hi mum, aren’t you proud?
The internet never forgets

Undeveloped synapses forever nineteen
Remorseless time catching fantasies horizon
An ugly sight in shallow Hal’s special vision
Torture Garden Chav
A rare breed indeed
