Run for your life!

Consider how you run,

why?

What's at the destination?

Run the best race of your life

because

You only get to enter - once.

Sweet and Sour

She was a baby

that liked candy

so she took what she wanted

Her undernourished brain

starved her soul

she lived empty ever after...

Naked Truth

Discard the layers

and stand naked

in your truth

Listen and be heard

hiding nothing

bare your soul

Spewing Emotion

Putrid, oozing

 requiring a clean up

suffocating, lonely

cold sweats

Muddy Waters

It will come

the karmic time of reckoning

Sympathy will not keep you afloat

poetic justice will sink you

Under Pressure

An escaped prisoner

always looking over their shoulder

Happiness and freedom

invaded by fear

Running to the light

while the dark closes in

Chapters of My Life...

Introductions: "I'm a writer"

Chapter One: explaining that you're still a writer even if you haven't been published

Chapter Two: listening to why writers can't make any money

Chapter Three: writing anyway

Story of My Life: Not giving a shit what people say, read all about it!

Hunting Solo

Weep in the darkness

Weep in the light

Weep for your aching soul

Then

Bravely pursue it,

grit your teeth

Hold On!

Perfectly Timed

 Every moment 

perfectly planned

 every item just so

Then spontaneity 

c       s  h

r   a  

            e  s

the party*!@*+

Heavy Artillery

You can either

bask in the love

or duck for cover

words are my weapon

and I'm trigger happy

and indiscriminate...

Situation Vacant

I want to be warmed

by the light of your heart and brain,

feel fevered with love.

Don't give me the chills

by showing me a mind

that is scarier than a haunted house

True Intimacy

How can you 

search for love,

to be complete,

when you don't even 

give yourself a chance

to be truly loved

by someone that knows you

intimately

Universal Weathering

Wait

amongst the chaos

breathe through the pain

Eventually

 storm clouds will part

you will stand in the sun

I Love to Hate You

You make it so easy

give me so many reasons

and just when I think

maybe you're not so bad

you dish up

a new serving 

of reasons 

to hate you 

Wiped Out

Like snot,

you need to be wiped out

You are unnecessary,

existing without reason

no amount of product

will cover it up...

Obese Hate

And you just keep feeding it

and who knows 

how large it will grow..?

Going through the Motions

Intelligence on it's own

is robotic

Emotional Intelligence

adds humanity 

Matching Potential

Will you fan the flames 

watch the little spark glowing

 tenderly guarding its light?

Or will you pour petrol

 over the innocent spark

 then run in fear, from what you've created..?

Noble Idiot...

Say it louder

make sure we all get it

You're an idiot

We heard loud and clear

Got Milk?

Enjoy your milkshake

while sad mothers

suffer

in concentration camp like

facilities

and bobby calves cry...

Romantic Life...

There's a tendency 

to romanticise

the reality of other's lives.

Cats

seem to have it all,

but then

a diet of rats, birds or cat food,

and hideous self cleaning options

is pretty unappealing!

24 Carat Bitch

Like fake diamonds

you are simply

sparkles without purity

I prefer the cutting power

of the genuine article

my sparkle is blinding!

Paper Bag Quality

Like a fine cut of meat

wrapped in brown paper

 quality speaks for itself.

No matter how fine the textile,

draped in excellent jewellery,

spritzed with an aura of rich perfume,

Your personality makes it all look drab...

Unsatiated Hunger

Unless you are a Chef,

or a bad cook

who would really go to all the trouble?

I like a substantial meal

and I'm happy to cook my own,

if no one else will,

or pay for it...

Life Support

This city pulses

alive with people

taking care of business

Dismal Sun

On those days

the sun purposefully shines in my eyes,

The neighbour deliberately starts his noisy lawnmower,

and people laughing are annoyingly loud...

Window Dressing

You need only peek through the curtain

to see what's happening inside.

And you will see my friends

are in there with me.

Hard Labour

Did I have to claw my way out of my old skin

while running out of air underneath?

Did I have to feel like just maybe,

death was the easy option?

Did the tunnel have to have so many twists and turns,

that I had to carry on without seeing the light?

Faith in the strength of my spirit,

that kept labouring,

And knowing that nothing ever stays the same

is what delivered me.

Love Drunk

Their intense, crazed, connection

pulsed with desire between them

To others

it was a sober, repugnant display.

In-cents Rage

All you need 

to keep you entertained

is the mere s-cent of money. 

Money will buy

your soul 

and your hole.

But wait there's more! 

You'll also get

my disgust and contempt- for free!

Hopelessly Devoted

Game, set and match!

He was a player,

she was a master manipulator.

In the end, they both won-

the prize that they deserved.

Contemptuous Familiarity

I struggle to make my face behave

when it's pointed in your direction,

It betrays my desire

to stifle my disgust.

I Talk, and I Know Things...

It's all a matter of perspective.

When all you know is all you know:

Learning opens the door

to realising what you don't know...

In My Opinion...

If you yell it louder

and screw your face up,

Point your finger,

laugh derisively

Everybody will understand

it's really only your opinion

That counts...

Get 'Real'

Like fake diamonds

your demeanor is unimpressive

You have the common feeling of trending fashion

and none of the quality,

of a genuine article,

of something to be treasured.

Fifty Shades of Shit...

Improving your image

would be like polishing a turd

Your fancy outsides

cannot disguise

The stench

leaking out from inside you.

Celebrate Good Times...

Because celebrations,

are a meal to be shared by all.

Dine out on the joy,

feast on the happiness,

Drink it all in,

no one wants to go on a happiness diet.

Desire's Addiction

More love,

more friends, 

better car,

better house,

more alcohol,

more drugs...

Stark Reflections

Written words 

 hold more power than spoken

 Permanence, presses pause 

on honesty.

'Never write anything down 

that you wouldn't want others to see'

 Emptying thoughts onto paper

spilled like blue blood

Yearn to be read 

just not too deeply.

Smooth Moves

People who are starving to death

probably don't have time

to play with food

or worry about nutrients

Native Ambitions

Because if you want to enter

the cave of wonders

you must fight through the bush

to earn the prize.

Unwanted Pollution

Don't even care enough

to write anything here...

Shearing Pain

Farming is a hard life.

But mostly 

for the animals

Bodily Revolt

Like a stone in my shoe,

I cannot ignore your presence

Even my lips 

show their annoyance

and my eyes

prepare for abrasive invasion.

Infectious Personality

Your attitude makes me 

Red hot

Feverish

Appealing as pus

Unwelcome.

Fuck Off Mutt!

It takes a special kind of bitch

for me to bare teeth.

But your scent is overpowering

I know shit when I smell it.

Vulnerable Prey

And that is why

I fly in close formation

with my faithful flock

Waves of Anger

Pay it forward

was meant for acts of kindness...

Grating Opinions

The sickening lurch inside

even my body objects

to your mouth's drivel.

Whether I fight back

really depends on the fact of your capability

to digest a reasonable argument.

Animal Mentality

 If you were part of 

a herd of wild animals

you'd be the first to get culled.

 This expert huntress

has surveyed the scene.

I'll leave you for the hyenas...
