Encased in a shell, trapped inside, a barrier to reality, unclimbably high. Foggy emotions, cryptic thoughts, rambling words, dark and distraught. Heavy in mood, wallowing weight, memory subdue, senses downgrade. All light is blinding, shines through flesh and skull, sounds …
A short poem inspired by walking the boardwalk as the COVID 19 virus fear takes hold.
As the sun leaves this hallowed land, neath feet of trodden ground, under cover of darkness, the spirits rise and the devils come forth. For this eve, the land that is, belongs to us, the creatures of shadow. We bring …
The person who taught me manners had none The person who taught me empathy had none The person who built my heart had none The person who taught me respect had none The person who taught me math used an …
We live in a world of boxes. Our houses are boxes. Our cars are boxes. Everything comes in boxes. Everything goes in boxes. Moving in boxes in boxes in boxes. Travelling in boxes and smaller boxes. Washing, cleaning and drying …
Nothing is forever. The universe is in constant flux. The only constant, the only certainty is that change will occur. Sometimes it’s foreseen. Sometimes it’s planned. Sometimes it sweeps the floor from under your feet and shatters your heart into …
Sitting on a breeze Washing pain through my head. A sculpture of my death. The last chapter read. Whip the sea into a frenzy. Wander through it like a bee. Slipping through the fingers of a craniotomy. Trapped eternal hopeless. …
I am the devil on your shoulder The angel in your ear The voice of your reason The root of your fear The demon in your closet The saviour at your side Deception in your truth And the truth in …
My knowledge was not erased at birth. I am the Universe, trapped in a human body, weighed down by its limitations, fully aware of my greatness. Cursed to live in linear time, where a moment seems like forever, yet life …
I met a girl… So beautiful. Skin so soft, attitude so rough, yet fragile and perfect. Our insecurities met, cancelling each other’s out; safely wrapped in each other’s arms. Love was inevitable; it was destined. Not at first sight; at …
We spend our lives seeking connection with others. First with our families, then friends, pets, lovers and who or whatever else. So much time and effort put into forming bonds and growing relationships. Doing our best to please others, to …

When the world is dead and everyone is gloomy, there’s nothing left to do but drink banana smoothies.
A single tear is all I can cry A single tear before I can die A final tear I cannot deny A final tear, a final lie
Is it worth it? The fame, the fortune. Is it worth it? The fancy cars, the classy restaurants, the private jets, the limousines. Is it worth it? What about that house. The one with everything I ever wanted. The swimming …
In this great big world that we live in So many that are alone So why am I alone The streets seem busy both day and at night The people are so cold This city is so cold If everybody …

The words of tears are powerful I cry for the men that were sent to wars and didn’t return but mainly I cry for the ones that did I cry for the children that have died from starvation But mainly …
Tranquillity emanates from the glow of the ocean. The distant hum of traffic provides the comfort of knowing I am not alone on this planet but only a step away. Everything seems so peaceful, so calm and inviting. Warmth emanates …
The rush of death sets in From my own hand The demons tear at my soul Ripping, devouring my flesh My mind, my sanity The chill of death sets in My puddle of life dripping at my feet Memories return, …
The madness is all around Pushing Pounding Punishing I feel it closing in Insideously suffocating Its wrath emanating through my senses For a second I am caught Held in its cold menagerie of lost souls Tip-toe Tip-toe My mind is …
After creation came the poet And the poet said “Let there be darkness” And the Sun fell from the sky leaving the night And the poet said “Let there be pain” And he curled up in agony as all his …
Is the fight worth it? It aint worth it now. But will it be worth it? I can’t see how. What’s wrong with you? I feel sick with guilt. But what is this from? It’s from the wall’s that I’ve …

I’ve had a life time Of people close to me They’re quick to tell me That I’m worthless I’ll never get anywhere ’cause I’m lazy I’m just dreamin’ I’m so crazy Is it any wonder I’ve turned out the way …
The people eat their T.V. sets as the chicken flies west through the rabbit cage. Eaten but not stirred please. The cattle stalk their victims prey as the innocents wonder about their day. ‘What’, is the word that remains drunk …
Death wraps its cold arms around me once more. The toxins of life cleanse from my blood. Visions of my past flash before my eyes, from this life or a previous one, I do not know. The midnight moth arrives …
I stare into the mirror, as it casually and unaware reflects the true nature from within my soul. A dim light of hope that redemption may still be possible. A flash of images projects onto my mind. Red, blood, hatred, …
The pendulum ticks with every sway. With every sway another second Forever gone… Until the next one. Another breath of air escaping unnoticed, leaving me one breath closer to death. If the breath was my last, would it still go …
I’m weird, I’m strange, I’m a little deranged, I’m just crazy. You say I’m insane, I have not a brain, I’m just crazy. If there’s someone to blame, it’s societies cane, for being crazy. The torch of …
Afflicted with obsession the generation of today with this thing called `television’ It aint gonna go away. Hypnotic drone of content Addictive beyond whats seen Insidious commercial salesman Behind everything you see Scenes of death and destruction people without food …
Why has this happiness intruded my space?I didn’t ask for its warmth, its pleasure, its grace.My true satisfaction comes from only one thing.A deep depression so dark, so grim.The light that surrounds me must be filtered with red.The air that …
I believe the unbelievable. I practise the unsociable. I receive the unattainable. I worship the undesirable. I feel the untouchable. I destroy the indestructible. I am not the understandable.
Drip! Drip! The sound of rain flushing another tormented soul into the freedom of death. A whip makes its tortured crack, as lacerations, so plentiful, scar my back. A small stream of blood trickles down my spine and land softly …
The raging winds, so wild and furious, blast the savage landscape. Stars flickering in the midnight sky. What is midnight anyway? When does night start and finish and who determines its middle? A dog roams aimlessly around the lake. It …
What is this pain inside my head?
Maybe I’m dying. Maybe I’m dead.
What if I live in this limbo state?
Where will I go? What is my fate?
My mind is collapsing. Am I insane?
We’re nearly there. Where! There! But where is there? There is nowhere, nowhere called there. But there it is, that place called there. But now we’re hear, it’s no longer there.
The pen, it thrives inspiration. Channelling thoughts; emotions of my being. For if I don’t feel it the pen can not write it. The pen writes so only I understand. I am the master; it the slave… A slave to …
