All the wings
Of all the angels
Could not hold me up
As I fall down
Down
Down
Down
Thump
A collection of poems and short stories, from a long time ago and from today. Some are light hearted, others are more serious, some are simply extracts from larger pieces of ficiton I am writing.

The Beast
There's something in the water
Fin above the waves
Cutting through the seafoam
Eating the ones he saves
Hating the neverlanders
Wanting to die soon, soon
There is a beast in the water
His eyes reflect the moon
Silver in tone, my dear
Grey like the haunted fog
He'll scare those who stray far
With barking, like a rabid dog
Savage and roaring, here
He has nothing to fear
For he's the god of this sea
King of all far and near
So you've got to beware
Of the fins in the water
Roar back and snarl if he comes
Prepare to heartlessly slaughter

Sitting
I'm just this sort of idiot who sits around all day and does nothing useful.
Well I'm sorry world for being like this.
I'm sorry, I'm fucking sorry.

Best friend
There is no one else I know
Like you
Who can make me smile
Make me sigh
Make me cry
When you do
We laugh together
So horrendously
Waking the neighbours and causing them
To rap on the door
"Go on and shut up in there.
Go on and shut
Up in there."
"I am so sorry"
Was the reply
But we never meant it
Oh no we couldn't mean it
Because we'll be laughing forever now
You're the one
Who makes me laugh
You are
Then one who makes
Me cry
And weep
You are my best friend
And I love you for it
In that fabulous
Best-friendy
Way
Little Hoofsteps
Come now little hoofsteps
Patter your heart away
Come now little hoofsteps
Daddy has gone astray.
But don't worry little hoofsteps
Though he's left his little family
But don't worry little hoofsteps
Because its where he wants to be

An Inch Away
Because all I have to do is lean forwards.
Then your lips meet my lips
Your breath becomes my breath
We share the same air and we
Share the same mouth
For that moment we are intertwined
Marvellously like two buds blooming at
The same perfect time.
All I have to do is lean forwards
And we will kiss.
As I caress your hair all I can
Think about is your lips
And they burn like tindery flames on my
Imagination's lips.
Burn and mark their presence there
Their life and
Their existence in the bane of my memory
Like scars that will not fade except
They are not scars but rather
Stains of pressed flowers on the pages
Of books, the pollen seeped through
To the next.
Oh I am an inch from kissing your lips
But we both no I cannot because
I am not free to

Suicide Note Found In A Lecture Hall
Sunday, 2 March 2014
Why?
All I want to do is die
All you never wanted to do was cry
The lord came down and touched my cheek with a sigh
And said "carry on, child, carry on"

Crazy love
Please give me time
No need to whine
As I use up lines
To make this rhyme
You said that I am
The sand in the clam
Not working quite like "bam"
Oyster's good with jam
Yet this little heart
Flutters when we part
I feel like thou art
The wind in my fart
So come on crazy love
Give me a wee shove
Be my pearl white dove
And take me away
