Look into my eyes, fool
You're like a topsy turvy kind of fellow
With hair like the top of a thistle
All sticking up and soft and like
Green, stupidly green
Like a gremlin sneaking up badly
At night on a perfectly hearing girl
Who turns and taps her foot
Yeah it was terrible you beast
Totally you like

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.

Like, Failed
Loud
I think I might be
In love with a man
Or a boy maybe
Who holds my heart in his hand
I think I might want
To see another man
It will break his heart
Or both at one time
You see I'm lost and I'm found
I'm inside and out
I'm up and down and confused
With sound
Cover your ears
Because I'm about to scream
So loud

Breaker
You search into my heart
You delve into my soul
Rip my being apart
Have not a care at all
As you look for something shimmering
A diamond amongst the glass
And my imagination lies there open
My innocence, for you, to grasp
You take it and shape it and maul it so
And break it and fake it and fix up too
You delve into my soul
Rip my being apart
Have not a care at all
As you look for something shimmering
A diamond amongst the glass
And my imagination lies there open
My innocence, for you, to grasp
You take it and shape it and maul it so
And break it and fake it and fix up too

Under
The earth is like a surface of brown
Spread out under a canopy of midnight dark
Outwards flowing outwards
Expanse and endlessness
Universes retire while the canopy remains

On Viewing a Segment of the Main Building of Glasgow University Through a Narrow Window
You are tall.
Quite angular, I have never noticed
Gothic arches, Gothic turrets, Gothic windows
Just pure
Gothic
I view the world through a narrow window
Sitting in this large white hall
Within my own space
Own realm of time
Yet onwards life goes
On and on
We are quite similar, dear building
In the sense, at least, that we are out
Of time, I mean
Maybe out of this world also
You are existent in a world that changes
Yet does not change
And I stay here despite the world around me
Busy lives making busy work
Drink, sex, fornication, essays, deadlines
All due, due, due
Yet I am a dull-witted fool
Doing nothing now,
But just existing.
A tree obscures part of my view of you
But I do not mind
Because I know, really, what you look like.
You are, all in all, after all, simply
Divine.

Sleep Coming
Slowly falling asleep
I am
Slowly falling asleep
Boring
Dull and trying to
Listen
Yet
Slowly falling asleep
I am
Slowly falling asleep
Boring
Dull and trying to
Listen
Yet
Slowly falling asleep
