Garlic Breath

Just one fatal flaw, a broken cog

The machine doesn't work, function failed

Cannot compute, legends born

Bravery, boldness, malice maiden

Return the child, crackling pig

Return the baby, we have a penchant for forgiveness

Paper Cuts

Fading slowly, last leaky daylight

Not lost, out of reach, sofa deep

Touch the tip, icy feel, reeling dampness

Periscopes, squinting, distant shoreline

Heaven modes, broken codes, nucleus cracked

Did we all fail him?

Fanned Flames

Swelling cells, pressured pain

Twisted wood, green, unsplintered

Piece by piece, hour on hour

Trickle, drip, flow, no relief

Tighten the screw, unholy screech

Lifted, light, energy bright

Full function, happy gem, smooth

Graves

Unleashed beast, infantile insomnia

Point the finger, laughter trigger

Distant mountain, fire signs

Gather round, tiny whispers

Secret sounds, shocked stages

Have You Seen It?

Hope grows, creeping, consuming

There is no squeak, no greasepaint smear

Darkest thoughts, pencil shaving stretch

Fumbling, groping, echoing, you know I'm here

Dropped doors, lenient guardians

Return it unharmed, polished, caressed

Flat Heels

They tried, contorted faces, subtle anguish

Clawing hands, smashing stones

The cracks appeared, shallow at first

Loud rasp, hollow head, bled

'It's empty, there's nothing, gone'

The finder had kept, crumbs and dust

Just insignificance, just futile dreams

Cumulative Frequencies

Edge of Earth, distant precipice

Seventeen points, missing reasons

Contracted, dampened soil, failing

Sparks, twinkle, curls, smiles, revived

Starvation, remonstration, hurled abuse

Mindless ignorance, twisted love

Governance

Faint fragrance, deathly stench

Synapse snapped in two, electrical impulse amplified

Ping, ping, ping, that incessant ping

Grinding, eroding, destroying my sweet resolve

The wasp bites, strives to undermine

Feign your illness, you are not the helpless one

We've made plans, they warned us about you

Plastic Horizontal

Heathen highlander, sniping wretch

Stab, stab, stab, back biter

Pump the ball, deafening echo

Rock gently, pivot, damp fuses lust

You were wanted, you were helped

You thrust it back in our faces

Such contempt, no solace

Plant your feet firmly, remember, grow

Infinity Blossoms

Sweet marionette, bowed head, frayed strings

The darkened stairwell, daunting tasks

Orchestral fervour, safety sounds, synchronisation

Muted cries, mumbled worries, tired tired eyes

Too young for such worries, too young for such fear

It hurts, it pains, chastise with love, sweet dreams little one

Crimes

Fortunate souls hold their frozen ice pops tight

The feeble few dribbled and drooled just at the merest thought

We watched them from a safe distance

To tired to rotate, spin or spiral henceforth

The gutter held us and we slept for a thousand suns

Crampons strapped and stony path sound

We climbed, we just kept climbing

 

He's Wrong

Cranes crushed under the weight of expectations

Museum models brash and bold

A thousand colours, a million folds

Tip Toe through the cells at night, tickle them one by ten

Pound, pound, pound the freezer door, the light is out

Monkey gripped

Grey Prayers

Hems stitched, itching grooves

Mitres made, gravestone hard

Dampened dew, juniper frosting

One small lantern still burns with a fading hope

Scottish two step

There's Things That I Regret

Keep chasing I've been to the end and back.

Brain Fodder

Tangled webs, frozen hands, white eyes, black heart

Touch my prism, the nucal fold, tear along my dotted line

Uneven edges blurred by time, burn them, melt them smooth

Umbilical pull entwines us both, show me hope

Broken Exports

Re-enact the timeless treasures, silent movie sounds

Flicker books and matchstick socialism

Red eye tired, divisible bayonet thrusts

Furrowed brow and fallowed fawns

Pointless faces, formless expressions, pulled reigns

Now Just Hold On There One God Darn Minute

Angry preachers demand their pay, slamming lost in a mystery

Half tonne Tessy just misbehaved, I'm god damn sick of her mission bars

Grief stricken climate control, pouring forth tears of perspiration

Violet visions of tribal fury, court jester Jupiter lounge in sound

3-2

Gonner

Brown Rags

Dragged through the dirty filth of yesterday dreams

Musical moments, earpiece monologue 

Moth movements, burnt wings, dusty layers

Fondness, gentle caress, final release, under a heavy foot

Bounce me five times then tilt me into the hoop

Let me drop, pound my frown, smarten me up

Diving deep, bends steady, Nitrogen fix

Fiercest Foes

Woe betide the miserable fools who chasticed my broken soul

Forever forgive my mothers love, be gone my fathers ruin

Chalk marks, decipher sounds, gravel grazes on knees

A rusted punt, gang warfare lungs, a choking masterstroke

One bright day, one lamplit corner, we are Lost Souls Forever.

Selfless Expressions of Guilt

Am I in the middle of your picture?

Listed as Priceless

Homeward bound on a listless ship

Each fool pretends he is the jaded master

The warrior prince, the folded phantom

The cell walls devour each miniscule grain of thought

I am treadless, I am tearless, I am torn

Bounty Clip Trips

Bangers

Barren lands, mislaid plans

Upbeat dreamers, hopeless redeemers

Trumpet lonely, sorrowful sounds

Host to the frown, laughing gas crowns

I am heathen, I am history

I am mystery

Something Means Nothing

Frames, repeats and an angry glare

Beaten stoops and free loaded nouns

I am an equal, I am a beast, I am a ghost

Bound and gagged, dipped and dragged

Heaven sent

Macaroons and Mice Men

The grimiest of places, the prettiest of faces

The slightest of grins, the wealthiest of brains

Jaunty walks, bountiful nonsense noise

What is this third world democracy

This is more like fifth world anarchy

Chilled, Frozen, Static, Creamed
