These are poetry drafts. I consider all my poetry in a constant state of drafting, some with revision ongoing, others merely gathering dust. Some have been published but will still be considered drafts.

N.B. When these posts were imported I noticed some of my reblogs also got pulled in. It should be ovious from the contents that they are reblogs from other writers. I am in the process of removing those posts.

SUNDAY 11:11PM

A bottle of your finest wine, please

To keep me afloat

To keep me awake

To keep the dread of life at bay

SILENCE AND PIXELATION

I hate the *******
music channels on
TV in the UK. Can’t
say **** or **** or
whisper ***** to the
black bro.
Silence and pixelation is
ruining an otherwise
great ******* day.

FADING INTO OBLIVION

I have forgotten
what it feels like
to hug n kiss n tell,
to wake up next to
someone else
smelling of roses,
fruit or
tin
Was that by choice or
merely as a consequence of
the stupidity of day or
the brains overruling
what my heart now
yearns

AWAITING SUNRISE

Too distant
the joys
of life
Wrapped
in shadows
ever growing
Becoming less and less
with every passing
day
Now awaiting sunrise
and a smiling
face.

THE GREY

If you were to ask me
what top to wear
on that special day
I would say
The Grey
always
The Grey
on any day
wear
The Grey

POORLY

Twitching legs
beneath a quilted
layer of solitude.
Perspiration
wearing down
brittle bones.
Breathing cold
air through
rattling teeth.
Sleep absconded
with
my dreams

WITH EVERY MOMENT

With Every Moment of
Dissatisfaction
Grasping My Throat
I Breathe a Little
Less Shallow.

With Every Moment of
Regret
the Calling is
Pulling Me Down
Alleys Anew

With Every Moment of
Rage and Hidden
Tears the Void of
Darkness Expands
Fills Like Liquid
Feels Like Death
Approaching

HALF PAST SILLY

It’s half past silly and
Vodka tastes like whiskey
In coffee with sugar
No cream tonight
Staying healthy
Or not
