The end of a Summer

Shadows lengthening, growth slowing, sun weakening,Signalling the end of another summer.The endless, merciless cycle of the seasons.Time you cruel bastard!Why do you play with us so?Why do you tempt us with the beautiful promise of Spring…Only to leave us in despair with the breaking of that promise?Give and take, give and take – it’s just […]

Travelling Observations

Her yawning, reflected mouth requires a fleshy encounter, I fantasise.Neatly shaped, shining legs extend as she climbs the stairwell.Our mutual angle almost reveals private land, But she slips out of sight in time. The warm-legged girl beside me keeps catching my eyes in the glass partition.An ironic, emotional connection give our proximity.On another occasion I […]

Another day in the life

Birth sounds a lot like sex,Another life shagged!Infants gush forth into existence,Carried on a stream of blood, perhaps leaving likewise. All the shapes and sizes of people,Rushing to an unknown destination.In my mind I project a downward view,And think of slave ants scurrying aimlessly. On the bus and old drunk shuffles,Onto a seat beside the […]

A few questions

Why is madness more interesting than sanity?Why don’t people see the bigger picture?Why do we think we’re so important?Why am I here? What is beauty?What is intelligence?What is kindness?What am I? When will the world end?When will there be peace?When will we learn?When will I die? Where is God?Where has all the love gone?Where has […]

New Religion

I am the new Jesus Christ.I have come, not to enlighten you,But to confuse you.Not to lead you along the path of righteousness,But to lead you all to hell.I will not suffer for your sins,But let you suffer for your own.I will not heal the sick,But kill them and end their misery.I will not offer […]

Numb

I can’t feel the world.I can’t feel people.I’m numb to everything around me,Except maybe my music.The world is dumbing me down,Doping me up.I need more interesting, exiting people in my life,Just to keep me normal.I’m addicted tot he search for meaning,If I find none, I want to flush the world away!

Me, me, me

Trying to sleep to kill time,And one day, time will kill me.Wasting each day, in my prime,It’s not all it seems to be free. I’m outside, looking in on the fun,Banging on the window, but unheard.Am I happy to just exist with the sun,And to remain this way, lonely and scared? My boredom feels terminal, […]

Waking!

The sun rises, invades my room, breaks my sleep.I crawl slowly and uncomfortably from a pained unconscious,My mouth, dry and stinking, my nose blocked and sore,My hair, ragged and bent and my shoulders stiff.The morning glory in my sweaty pants present yet again!I struggle to get back to sleep, indeterminate in length, but in vain.Reluctantly, […]

What is my greatest fear?

Life and living,Complete desolation of the mind.Living in limbo, purgatory.Being brain dead, but being conscious of it.Being lonely,Being bored,Being without ambition or initiative.Realising everything is meaningless, Not even absurd!Being unable to feel joy or love,Being seriously ill,Being hated,Being…… Written by me about 20 years ago.
