When you feel like a typo.

Absorb without exploding
As much as you possibly can
Glow in your masochistic heat
Or wish you were a man
Pluck out your ruddy heart and
Toss it in a frying pan

And feed it to a dog.

Weepy tree meets sad end.

No matter thick I branch,
Leaf green and blossom white
No matter deep I root,
House squirrels and filter light
to shade a secret love
Or robins nests from sight
No matter tall I stand

When I'm a block of wood
I'm chiseled alone.

Weepy for evermore?

Darker feels the murk
Finer feels the thread
And I feel heavier
Free fall
Or first perhaps a final brawl
Between life and death
I've had enough of stealth
Through all of this.
Take me
Or break me
Through and through
Please

Faith.

And He fashioned her from his rib so she can protect his heart.

That means I can :) And I must.

Lame talk

Close your eyes
And make a wish
In the glass bowl
There's a dead fish
Slowly floating free
Lifeless as it can be
Like a man hung from
The branch of a tree
Wish it life and become
The one who tried to
Get something done,
If nothing at all

LD

Sometimes it's like fiddling your hand
Inside a jar full of beads and dimes
To look for that extra button
You kept safe once upon a time
For that old shirt you feel like wearing;
Broad white stripes on the colour, lime

That doesn't match a sock or tie
And the missing button, makes you wonder why
You kept it hanging all these years
On a rusty hook, where you never look
Except for when your laundry's late
And it's time to leave for work in haste
You can't find the bleeding button
And you curse the poor useless waste

Only to leave it hanging, lonely
Every other day
When you find another to do with
And be on with your way

The sooner I get out, the better.

We make our own lives and we forge our own happiness from all kinds of shit. Misery is nobody's friend.

There is no love tonight.

Cold, heavy and sloppy.
When it rains, it pours and down here, I need a little more sun to dry out.

A little venting and a little prayer

Fireworks die in smoke
Unsteady wheels with irregular spokes
To push would be to provoke
A much precedented fall
Joy gives you withdrawals
An illness from potent poison
That leaves the mind stalled
And the heart appalled
A bucket of water is a bucket of blood
But on the floor, it's equivalent to mud
Slushy sticky sludge
Melted chocolate fudge
Speak must, The Mighty Judge
Banish sinners
The frequent winners
And give us the peace of calm
Although I mean no harm...

revenge.

what defines a person is not power nor grace; be him high or mighty
some value piety; others, what they deem sightly
some hold tight on hearts and stars; petty folly does the world preach highly

...but me, i like to look
laugh at fools and read about girls from sunnybrooks
should you be the apple of my eye
perhaps i'd like to know why.

rebirth: X and Y

X: what do you think about before you fall asleep?
Y: the future.. politics.. maybe a year off.. what the day was like.. meh.. you?
X: you... and thoughts stray from there.

happens.

give, take, break, leave
lovers do as lovers please
no more magic up my sleeve
blind strokes on a white sheet

a waft of scent, a circle of smoke
is what it was when you woke
from an idle summer's dream
nothing real can be that serene.

there is noone

inside or outside
high tide - low tide 
circles in squares
mismatched pairs
of shoes and socks
back inside that little box
on the dusty floor
with those airholes

pretend you're breathing 
when you can't anymore

Dear Tree. Sing I shalt to thee.

I feel next to that tree, right about now.



'If you want a red rose,' said the Tree, 'you must build it out of music by moonlight, and stain it with your own heart's-blood. You must sing to me with your breast against a thorn. All night long you must sing to me, and the thorn must pierce your heart, and your life-blood must flow into my veins, and become mine.'

Oscar Wilde - The Nightingale and the Rose

numb

you wrung it out of me
slopped it into a jam jar
and tossed it to the sea

i stood there wondering
what set us apart
or what led to why
you broke my stupid heart

10 May, 2010

bad days galore.

if you like to burn bridges,
then learn to think twice.

i walk in circles now
on an island, in a sea
that has no name.

life - part two - the bigger picture

it's only you,
who knows how
to not do
what should be done
because if you did,
it would be fun
to lay in the sun
with our feet in the sand
and me not having to shun
the thought of me
being the only one
for you.

ps. this didn't have a part one.

Quotation

I would face him, and say simply: I am sad that you are not strong, and do not swim and sail and ski, but you have a strong soul, and I will believe in you and make you invincible on this Earth.

- Sylvia Plath

helpless

If ever there was a dream
A perfectly perfect dream
Where we would smile
And the stars would shine
I’d stay there.
It gets lonely in the mornings
And cloudy in the day
The wind gets cold and
You never have much to say
Batteries. Gadgets. Delays.
I might as well get paid
For being the *itch
With the leash
Muzzled at birth
Freed only to feed
On food that isn’t mine.

disclaimer. this doesn't say anything abt me. consider it my doodle beyond the margin. enjoy ;)

confessions. boxes. doors.

Most of my friends are imaginary
So try a smile, I’ll sing like a canary
And toss my darkest secrets out
What a stupid, stupid lout,
You’ll think. I know you will.
This girl’s an overspill
On my table, on my clothes
A bottle of champagne
And a bag of bones
