My life through the eyes of others

Archive for May, 2008

maybe

 

If midnight would come,

I might have a friend.

January might come,
December without snow.

If the rains come
I should try,

If sunny days come
I should smile.

maybe I was falling apart,

because i wanted to

Maybe, maybe’s,

are what we do.

Pleasure Seekers

 

Ends of your hairs stuck to your cheek,
we sat back and watched,
I analysed your details,
your scars.

You enjoy pain,

I deposit your suffering.

The pleasure is not taste,
innoccent eyes never shift their gaze.
I sat back a few minutes,
little hairs stuck to your face.
 

doubt’s truth

 

Because,

words,

contradict,

 

yours

and

my,

 

intimate,

fear,

diluting,

 

love’s,

consistent,

insecurity,

 

truth’s,

unpleasant,

inconvenience,

 

life’s,

chemistry

\destiny,

 

Pure?

simple?

neccessary?

 

to be?

or not to be?

Inconclusive.

The new beginning

Buildings go up like lego,

im inrigued by the exo skeletons.

 

The world is changing,

evolving.

 

Are we in fast forward,

or rewind?

 

Call it as you see it,

ideologies come tumbling.

 

Crimes against humanity,

Sadly.

threats of nuclear doom.

In this age of retro cool.

 

At night,

we’ll sleep on sheets of fair trade,

hippies will get stoned at live aid,

and things will get said at the G8.

Trommelfeld (fields of drums)

‘demons’

‘nightmares’

That voice,

that lifeless voice.

drama,

symbols,

props,

mime

the viewers?

No empathy.

Voice continues,

drums,

bang!

tears,

gasp!

Voice pauses,

So the piano runs,

the violin shrieks

the cello strangles

and the orchestra fails.

Prodigy

If you find your way home,

may your face be meek.

 

A fortnight to this,
you danced with a chicken head,

savouring,
the dark art.

 

Forgone,

distant,

accompanied by scoffers,
marauding the seedy columns.

 

How would they know?

when no one cared to ask,

that you were nothing,

but a mordern day prodigal tale.

Men with no names

Tarred road dirt,
By men with arduous contribution.

Resilience,
perspiring grit.

The caution glow,
Underneath the suns beam.

To that man that worked on possibility,
Through shifts in black collars.

 

Spring cleaning

 

I’m currently in the process of spring cleaning.

Dusting, washing, hoovering.

As a result, I’m putting forward old material, dusty and crumpled from nooks and corners of old writing pads in a bid to de-junk. Also to create space for renewed inspiration.

You will notice varying styles sometimes the plight of a writer trying to find his voice.

Spider

 

Sun in eye,

Crawling into corners,

Static interference.

 

Retrospective zoom,

Midnight, coloured lights

shivering sweats.

 

slow motion……….

 

Craaack! Cruunch!

Where is the world when you need to hide?

I need to escape the sun.
