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"
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.

Why?

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

Like, Failed
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
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 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
