Give It Time
Heartbreak
Tinkle
You’re missing a ‘W’ in everything you do
Ork, ant, ill
I can never be your ‘ife’
With just a tinkle in your life.

Limp
You’re tiring of me
Quick as quick
I can already feel the limpness in your dick.
What a pity. What a shame.
The fire between us , isn’t eternal flame.
So, so sad. So, so tragic.
That I can no longer work my magic.
‘Treat you mean and keep you keen’?
A kick to the guts? A jab to spleen?
Must I really become a shard
In order for you to get hard?
Screw it. Let this thing end
Before we are no longer friends.

Junk in my trunk
Clunkety-clunk. Clunkety-clunk.
That’s the sound of my heart ever since you left.
It heaves as it tries to beat , it splutters and stalls.
Every pump it makes, rattles my bones
Sets my teeth on edge.
I’m running out of fuel.
No air in my tyres.
Here’s to all you liars.
Here’s to all your lies.
I guess I’ve got baggage from here on in.
Clunkety-clunk. Clunkety-clunk.
Plenty of junk in my once empty trunk.

Calipers
You squeezed my skull in calipers
Found me lacking.
I tried to add inches to my intellect-Big words to my little life.
But my head hurts from all this trying
You hold your cigarette with disdain
I should have expected the same.
That black smoke that wakes you in the morning and lulls you to sleep
It only fills your lungs but not your heart
I guess I’m the same.
Breathed in and puffed out.
You’ll give up on me
Eventually.

Pages and Ages
I will clamber through the ages
Search through infinite pages
Sift through songs
Get it all wrong
Over and over and over
Again and again and again
Until the bittersweet end
For you I have no shame
Just endless,senseless pain
For a shrug and a sigh
I will try and try and try.
Will you ever try to forgive?
So that I might actually live.

Butter
She smelled like cocoa butter
And I would have spread her
All over my bed, my head.
But she longed for harder flesh and bristle
Muscle and strength
Width and length.
I was mere finger and tongue
Too girly, too young.
Maybe if she had tried
Lied.
Given it a chance
Her body would have danced
And her soul might have followed suit
Ah what a pity. She sticks to the straight and narrow (or wide).
I could have made her glide.

Do Not Enter
‘Let’s leave it there.’
You’re probably right.
You wouldn’t like me anyway.
I’m different with you as you are
I twinkle like a star.
I’d turn into the old me, who gives it away for free.
I would become needy. Greedy.
If you enter my body
You enter my soul
So don’t jostle, don’t run.
I guarantee it won’t be fun.
Let’s leave it here. Where it’s all a potential
The tension.. essential.
Let’s not burst this bubble.
Turn us into rubble.
Let us stay as we are.
Not let it go too far.

Your Love is an Island-Talos
This song is really worth a listen. Poetry to music. Beautiful build up to a sublime finish.

Never Forgive
I will forgive you…
When you’re dead
When the worms have consumed your smug smile
When you can no longer haunt me, taunt me.
The living make better ghosts you see
Their pulsing hearts, their burning desire
Add to fuel to my fire.
‘Let it go.. let it go’ ?
Forgiveness will heal you?
Bah. Nah. NO!
I thrive on this anger
I combust with that flame.
Forgiveness is for the corpses
Forgiveness is for the lame.

Iris
I will always hold you in my iris
In my vessels
In the spools of blood
The great, the no good.
Part of me will never be free
Of your terse tone
Your dulcet moan
I loved you too much
I didn’t hold back
I followed you into the black
They were always dark
Those irises of mine
But in you I found something divine
So when I say forever
Despite your sighs
Know you will always be held captive
Within these eyes.

Congeal Yourself
This lagging dragging sound
Is my fleshy heart on the ground
Stuck to your heel
Congealed
You mince
I wince
