RHYTHM SECTION

He said, I want to marry your voice
And wrap my bare hands around your vocal chords,
Control the volume and tone accordingly
Making sweet sounds
That melt on my ears,
Silver notes that cascade and tumble
Softly
Like the first tuffs of snow
Clothing the naked ground,
And each snowflake is a frozen thought
Of yours not yet spoken
But fully potent
Until that glow
That white light
Slowly
Dies out.

ON THE RISING

She has watched the same Sun with its stupefying colour, blinding and beautiful rise from the depths of  this undeserving earth and take its place in the sky. There it has reigned supreme, with a backdrop of endless possibilities.
It should have stayed down in the pool or pit from which it came. At least then there would be no concept of time or measure of days wasted. And that feeling of time running out, when the sun begins its gradual descent and the battle ensues, darkness pushes through, the abandoning stretch of light is swallowed and suddenly the birds in flight appear to fall through unbearable hollowness,
would cease to exist.

BRIEF ENCOUNTER

This is the closest I can get

Always from a distance,

Across the street

Overwhelmed by the rush 

Of 9 am feet,

On the wrong bus

2 minutes too late,

Crowded bar

Overflowing with lust

So when I think I've got a hold of you

Your breath, a lingering scent

Something 

I can carry home in 

The palm of my hands

It's gone in instant

An illusion

A smoke trail

Slipped the cracks in my fingers.

ECCHYMOSIS

The sky is aching
Swelling like a fresh bruise,

The clouds like damaged tissues

Are breaking

Scattering,

Into tiny fragments

There is blood clotting,

Seeping through muscular layers

Blotting out the horizon,

And everything from the earths

Surface,

It won't survive the night

Birds will gawp mid flight
In this abyss

We will be still

Say a prayer

We did this.

WASTE LAND

We grew up and grew apart
They should have warned us from the start.
All flowers wilt and die
All days succumb to grey
And leave us abandoned, stray
A mangled heart whimpering in an alleyway,
And had we known
Braced for the many faces of misplaced emotion,
Maybe we would have held hands longer
Stared into the depths of each others eyes longer
Kissed and missed each other longer
Talked longer
Sat in silence and just listened for longer
Maybe we would have been stronger.

ANOESIS

Clouded minds
Find themselves intertwined
Ruminating back and fourth
Pulling at decision strings
A tug of war
Suffering
Divulsing under the pressure
Of influence
The left side is weakening
Now yielding
To a centrifugal force
The right side has no remorse.

YOUR DOWNLOAD WILL BEGIN SHORTLY

Depending on your connection

This may take a while

And you want to see it all,

So be patient

Sit back,

Let me occupy your time

Infiltrating cells

Are you paying attention?

No.

And when it's fully loaded

When your mind is fully mine

Let me waste you,

I'll be dexterous and extract just

Enough to keep you intact

Fact,

The truth is what we all decide

Delete that.

Copy and paste 

Repeat that
