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.

BOOHOO

Empty paint buckets
Calling for friendly
Brushes
Strokes of love
An empty canvas
Longing for
Touch and
Retouch

YOU ASKED AND I GAVE

You asked and I gave
little things always – tea pot

You asked and I gave
eight shivers at night – delight

You asked and I gave
seeds for growing – once

You ask and I give
nothing – anymore

YOU SLUT

you smoked – but didn’t

we attended mass – yet never

your friend said you didn’t fuck around so

making you pregnant a world away – gawd I’m good

you slut.

TAKE THE STICK

Take the stick

Spit it out

Crack the whip

Turn it up

Dream a dream

of life – unshackled

LANGUAGE PLEASE!

twitching lips and flaring

nostrils

behave OR face the music

the pendulum swings

NO LONGER

the clocks stopped

TICK TICK TICK i-n-g

her dress ripped

bare nipples

PUT THE GUN DOWN!

there’s children around

show your age and

mind your language

the night is young and

the bitch’s still bleeding

4.02 a.m

You said dance
like nobody is watching,
write as if no one
will ever read
so all I can do
is write on your wall
LOVE ME, LOVE ME
LOVE ME

SEA OF CONCRETE

Could We survive on a
Solid foundation
Where
Unbroken circles of
Love are overshadowed by
Insatiable
Lust for
Biting sheets and
Avoiding spots of

Or will we drown
swimming
in a Sea of
concrete.

THE VOID

Where did you go?

Did I imagine your
words and
heart of
hearts,
your smile ever
present,
no traces be
found
the Tumblr curse
striking down
leaving void
where once
joy ruled

Where did you go?

BROKEN

Life is a

rubber band I

keep stretching until

one day it

snaps

PATRIARCH OF PRETENCE

I remembered a dream
from not long ago
a house of light
with hidden
secrets
A patriarch of
pretence
a walker of lies
a tosser of ties
a shadowy creature
I remembered a dream
from not long ago
the onefold – once
the twofold – twice
the threefold – thrice
the lies kept
keeping
the honesty
still weeping
alone
