stay.

such pain

I never google people
not interested in
their pasts,
I broke that rule
to find a friend
only to be told;
he passed away,
I never google people
never will again
I rather live
ignorant
than suffer
such pain

a singularity

I recall a time I lived
as half of two combined
a singularity bound by  
fearless dreams and our
inherited powers.
I recall a time I lived
as half of two aligned
our mindless attraction
interfering, clarity  
an obfuscated truth.
I recall a time I lived
together – far apart
touching – feeling nought
screaming – silently.
I recall a time I lived
I cannot remember
how

I recently attended Rock en Seine in Paris and by chance I crossed paths with a music journalist, Eric. After long discussions about Blue Oyster Cult, a mutual favourite, he suggested I should check out Electric Mary, an Australian band and friends of his.

Well now I finally had some time to research Electric Mary, and wow. If you are into rock and need something to blend with the drinks on a Saturday night, check them out.

a step too far

I dreamt of physical intimacy – once

or was it just a hug?

Mayhap I dreamt a dream of hugs 

my mind in mud – I cannot recall, 

Though my desires far outreach

just dreaming, I do fall back to 

dreaming dreams as

hoping for actuality

asserting would be

a step too

far 

with the last fruit fly flattened
I am lost in solitude
longing for some company
longing for a
buzz

me

I never quit, I just
walk away, in
anger or in
fear,
blessed to yet again
regret my poor judgement and
lack of …
(de)termination

lacking … – me 

obfuscationarily

as my packets bounce idly around
the world; obfuscationarily
I hear her
she sings to me
PJ not to wear
PJ definitely talking to
me; to bring me her love
as my packets bounce idly around
the world; arbitrarily patterned
I no longer worry about
thievery, nor death
I’ve paid my dues
in hope of everlasting
time among the stars
and near
you
