Dining With Confidence

Oh, don’t look me in the eyes
You might witness
Pain with no disguise

Don’t fight the urge to walk away
Believe me even the sun
Wishes it could call in sick today

Oh, how easy it’s to say fuck it
When your greatest dreams
Lay by your bedside in a bucket

When your prayers become reruns
As your fears get married
And give birth to daughters and sons

When the only sign that you exist
Is the sound of a deafening weakness
That has no care of being missed

TWILIGHT

TWILIGHT

The sun sets low into the sea
casting phantom shadows
soulless
empty
reflections of me
and I am surrounded
by my own emptiness.

Cosmic Fleas

We're all just passengers
riding on this cosmic ball.
We're here the briefest moment
We live and die, that's all.

Our deeds, are mostly fleeting
like cracks in breaking glass
You and I, alike are pointless
we live, then come to pass.

So, you think a hundred years or more
of time, to be the end...
It's spitting in the ocean-
it's fantasy, pretend.

My Stained Glass Heart

Frosted plumes of rhythmic clouds
from a heart that can't abide,
somehow I must erase all previous
days with such high tides.

Confidence cleanly shattered
with a look that's undisturbed,
I sit alone in the cold, cruel night
in a place fate had me lured.

However, her chill relentlessly
seeks refuge in my bones,
the writing on the wall is clearly
adding decibles to my groans.

Nigella Lawson on her mother

Nigella Lawson is extremely peeved ,
About the comments made on the beeb
She told the truth about being beaten
Before the lemon roast chicken was eaten
Despite the fact that her father was famous
Chancellor of the Exchequer, she told us.
Complex relationship with her mother,
Did she love or did she hate her?
Nigel Lawsons not commented yet
He's too busy planning his next project
As I grew older I loved my mother
But despised the rest of them sister and brother
My mother tried hard despite all her failings

The raw and the ruse

Sister Sarah said, her siblings are green
Steeped in the blues they fall headlong,
When dealing with a willing opposite
Undefined emotions embedded the senses
Presumed love becomes a smiling snare
Like a bubby traps set for rabbit holes

She prayed never to be caught there in
Declared fervidly, ‘Na love I go chop?’
Her love has eyes on a thinking head
To see the mask of preying people

CIRCLES

CIRCLES

I rode on steeds two
black in a sky indigo blue.
hooves sparkling fire
across the universe
higher and higher they flew
me
to the ends of places new.

my your beautiful face

your beautiful face
makes me tremble,

my heart beat can’t keep pace,
as i look at your charming face.

wow you are so young
you are so cool
at nineteen,
you’re the cynosure of many an eye,
so many will love for you to vie

you are astounding you know
meet me only just once
ere from the earth I go.

I love your beautiful smile
Oh! magnificent face
come and meet me
will you at my place?

you are exquisite you know
I can see your charm as you glow.

Magic of Us

Let that Blackstreet ride from track five,
Do not play anything but Another Level;
Let me run the shower water to revive,
Undress you slowly with kisses so careful.

Sweetheart, let us make tonight magical...

I would like to turn off all the lights now
And this passionate walk with blind faith;
Kisses over you, unbutton your blouse,
Remove your bottom, embrace your waist.

Sweetheart, let us make tonight magical...

I feel it in you,
You feel it in me;
The magic of us
Feels so sweet.

A better place to be

Today I enjoyed my mind,
it might not seem a big ask,
I’ve been doing it most of my life,
Often wondering
if it was as much fun in other people’s heads
as it was in mine.
A dangerous neighbourhood at night,
but which of the best places aren’t?

Today I enjoyed my mind,
it hasn’t happened much lately
but today is today
