Laugh

Laughter pays jokes in measurements of funny.
The punch line of intent is worth all the worlds money.
Let's quick run the spectrum and see if anyone is truly left.
I made you laugh and you paid me with a lease of respect.

It's all that hope has shown itself to

THE LESSON IS LEARNT

Grains of salt pollute deserts of men.
Snow my waking state and nudge conscience dwellers.
Another hour is gone and you never turned the glass again.
Live opium dreams in oblivious cellars.

Climb sad inside and melt oblivion into night.
Drown your spirit under the

After seven years of inattention


he had suddenly become


the perfect companion.


Naturally she thinks


this stunning transfiguration


suspect and more than


a bit disingenuous.



She believes it a phase


he will soon abandon

I let go.

Your hands telling me that it’s okay. I don’t always have to be so strong.

I exhale.

Your kisses reassure me that I am not weak if I love.

Passionate after

Quick hand me a pen.

I feel interesting.

Show me when my heads down.

Hand me another page.

Borrowed from me

but not regulated. 

S**t it's gone.

I'll keep the

A shadow of myself.

I was once. Once.

Placidly fuming

when I can be bothered.

I'll rage against my own losses

and fight the system

with a cocktail 

of heroin and White Lightening.

This blistered paradox

that I float through

You
Rider of the blue moon
Weaving through the silver laced wind
Heading west of the sliding mountains
Rushing from the tired American pavement
Following that natural Isis breeze
Calling from the red rocks like some sort of Zion
The colorless draft paints clouds across the sky
A day map of the

A warm baking sunset spreads me across the dirt

As sundown plows vacancies of worthless earth

Sunset crows have flown into a losing black flight

Where such souls, like crows, blend into the night

          THE PHONE CALL

An uneventful evening at home alone

mistaken was I ring went the phone

No-one was on the end just static down the line

hanging up the receiver I glanced at the time

Midnight the witching hour who would call so late
