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.
