these lives lost

08.36
Office fills grudgingly,
shop bought recyclable cups
litter desks.
Alpha office males yawn.
Swivel chairs swapped
when no-one is looking.

10.01
Yesterdays jobs finally complete
shoes taken off to stretch tired feet,
clock watching for coffee break.
Thoughts already of lunch.

11.23
Tonguing remains of biscuit,
stolen from presentation buffet
to tide over until lunch.
Google new jobs and holiday breaks
to fight soul crushing job.

15.34
Zombie groans
from jealous friends of teachers who finish.
Switch from coffee to tea
hole puncher executive stress hand exercises.

16.49
Office empties
photocopiers and computers
wearily drift off into standby
with exhausted sighs.
Distant furious typing
to not end up working late.

18.02
Travel home in sauna shoe box
Silently read strangers novels
Generously held wide open
for all to share.

20.13
Ready meal remains stained plates
stacked by kitchen sink.
Lonely silhouetted figure
against an eastenders showing 42" lcd screen.
Laptop scrolls with facebook updates.
Holey sock creeps out from sofa cushion.

22.43
Scrolling through
contract free cable channels
to find something to waste time
until bedtime.

heavy headed

bowling ball faced man
with chipped features, stands
scowling through
net curtain drowned window,
at pipe cleaner bendy
legged children
enjoying their summers.
This familiar jealous pose
from his lonely childhood.

shortbread piano love song

Hand written on crumpled paper
from slayed rain forest acres
with extended piano solo,
this love song
Ive practiced on a pretend keyboard.
Made from shortbread fingers
and bourbon creams
in Hong Kong
I'd set all the jazz bars aglow
with songs about my dreams
you, my so adored.

Tinfoil milk lid shakers
those heartbeat rhythm keepers.
This keyboard slowly
crumbles from sweaty touches
as I write toadstool notes
joined together like fairy lights
on pulse settings.
Spelling out in morse code,
my flavour biscuit type.

Bass drumming on biscuit tin lid
rich tea crumbs jostling knocks
harmonic chours lines crossed out,
biro eraser
sustain pedal below at my feet.
Made from rolled up socks
pressed down toes
notes linger
with headline tours soon soldout
this stage I soon outgrow
you, my sure heartbeat.

Tinfoil milk lid shakers
those heartbeat rhythm keepers.
This keyboard slowly
crumbles from sweaty touches
as I write toadstool notes
joined together like fairy lights
on pulse settings.
Spelling out in morse code,
my flavour biscuit type.

Written this song to impress you
I want it to be perfect,
thats why I repeat it over carefully
until its set in my heart
where it belongs.

hidden secrets found

Computers speak
in organised binaray tones
military bunkered
analysts confirm
the launch date
for world war three
is postponed
delayed deaths
for the millions
of soliders unknown.

Those silent orders
from classified departments,
war games played out.
Please for the good of the people
less secrecy
and more transparacy
our world full of doubt.

Humans speak
in auto dead monotones
blog status updates
information gained
by those few
no secrets unheard.
everything known
except those
kept silent in your heart
dont let them corrode.

Those silent orders
from classified departments,
war games played out.
Please for the good of the people
less secrecy
and more transparacy
our world full of doubt.

Computers speak
in scrambled erroring codes
liutenants soon pray
missle countdown
our slow death
burnt to the ground
dropped payload
unheard screams
through our online world
society erodes.

Saturday 17 July 2010

the aftermath

Clock seconds tick
with an ever slowing pace
towards me,
familiar as your boots
over this bare wooden floor.

Cold thick socked toes
missing your warmth
demanding to know,
where you are.

Face covered with
sandpaper stubble, forgotten to shave
left with Homer Simpson muzzle
against which you once would nuzzle
nothing now but sharp corrigated rust.

Left with red eye fall out
since you've gone
crop circle trails
carved out from heavy tears
on salt dried skin.

Fall apart in these dreams
paralysed yet restless
with every lasting gentle
lick against my lips
that taste of you fades.

city bus of woe

this morning stuck on a overloaded bus
the autopiloted commuter run at 8.15
lurches around corners with
piano on skateboard lean,
late for work, all in a rush
hot crispy duck greasy leg
cooked alive
from over eager underseat heater
too stubborn to cough splutter and die.
Thick ear wax slowly melts
from hot mouth breathers over your shoulder
crumpled corners of morning newspapers read
silently you wish other passagers dead
spittoon bucket ding
signalling to stop
the bus suddenly pulls in.
More disgusted gazes upon
yawning faces
as more try to force themselves onboard
through opening doors
like contestants on stars in thier eyes
tonight matthew im going to be the one they all despise
the one with the double childs buggy
and ice cream saber waving screaming kids.
Stuck in traffic red light rages
commuters packed into excape proof cages
cabin fever hot sweats begin
as teens slowly deafen from tinny headphone din.
Stop button pressed with urgancy
crowd surf haul up towards the driver
five stops early gettig off now
bracing for a sharp jolting stop,
commando parachute exit drop
on the pavement catching your breath
no more, no more is your new mantra
walk further, instead of the bus of death.

Wednesday 7 July 2010

island path

Numbed slowly to death
this fog too thick
to see through.
Unable to discover myself
as I cant explore
what is here.
Patience worn thin
stomping a heavy path
already, I know where its heading
towards the sharp rocks
below.
Your full beam smile
in this fog doesnt work
unheard gentle calls from you
to guide me.
Still I go in circling fumbled routes.
Scars embedded on my body
as I fight through sharp
overgrown paths.

football played by a child

Uneven park scrubland yellowing pitch
every schoolboys afterschool itch,
cries of 'To me! To me!' looking for a pass
as herds of children flatten wilting grass.
Painless grazed knees from committed tackles
bouncing off injury free, rubber ankles
Tizer red fat cheeked kid, always a goalie
who dreams of large championship trophies
last to be picked due to his lack of pace,
but always has a reliable shot stopping face.
distracted by gentle mothers calls for supper
numbers drop steadily, due to dinner time hunger,
until those few full kit wearing remaining retire
due to fading light collect goal post jumper attire.

cardiff town centre

Old scars lazily covered
with flowerbed and tree bandaids.
Your deep green park lungs
clogged with cancer
from smug student disposable bbqs.
My love for you fades.

This place I no longer care,
to remember.
Just kidding yourself
Cardiff town centre.

Square tall apartment buildings
stand eggbox empty like my heart.
Soul sold down the Taff
asbo seagulls
meancing war cry squawk then laugh.
Sitting on wasted street art

Straight from uni deadend job
soul bleeds weekend boozes will renew.
Down St Marys street
the weekend crew
blue jeaned, checked shirt, brown shoed.
Broken feeling inside blue.

This place I no longer care,
to remember.
Just kidding yourself
Cardiff town centre.

With your lack of flare
gullible tourists robbed
you dont seem to care.
Big city dreams
things seem as they seem
you fail again.

This place I no longer care,
to remember.
Just kidding yourself
Cardiff town centre.

yes we bellowed


Communication through these overland cables
bond us together,
ropes on what we heave
record our shared fables.
Bind fast, tight,
together we fight.

Neither pirates or castaways
this world nation will be ours
our armardas victorious day.

Yes we bellowed,
yes we bellowed,
shout filled sails.
Our tortured wails
carries us forward
our common man fellow.

Polluted salt water quenches our draining thirst
under a flag united,
storm creeps closing in
these roles we have rehearsed.
arms to deck,
will not ground wont wreck.

implosion burn out

Burn out continues,
waiting for your red dwarf
fallout death.
Reborn and renews.
One hand to the other hot potato
skin damage scarring,
you burn yet i'll never let go.

The star
that burns brightest,
safe distance out far,
will often burn out
the fastest.

Night sky sags loaded,
a homemade valentines card
glittering.
Glimmer pure, blinded
Oven gloves and wielders goggles
amateur protection,
from this raditing sparkle.

The star
that burns brightest,
safe distance out far,
will often burn out
the fastest.

Envelope all that is around
to keep you
fed and going.
Nothing left for you to consume,
burn out.

my final over

My final over approaches
these innings drawing slowly,
to a close.
Do I bat out these last few balls
in a blaze of rage and frustration?
Or continue as I have done
to play the meek safety?
These remaining balls
should be savoured
some showmanship with applause.
Please bowl them quick
please, lets get this over with.
Strike hard, well hit
try to take out others,
to cause pain and damage
to finally have an impact
before its too late.
Acknowledged nod from the bowler
a wry smile returned,
this, the last delivery.
Bone breaking crack, that impact
blood red ball rises up
a distraction as all eyes
follow upwards.
I'm already walking
to the pavillion
Ball caught, cheers to the fielder
the hero of this match.
I'm already forgotten,
me the last batsman.

journey onwards

Lost somewhere between
dusk and dawn
as numerous hole punched stars
look down shining upon
a vast black canvas screen.

Trundling below
stolen from the depot
my brake van home
on vanishing railroad tracks
behind me, into the past
embraced in silent fog
from the trains smokestack
stations fade, forgotten at last.

A well thumbed faded
worn timetable
buried deep in my jean pocket
marked off in pencil
these stops feel so haunted.

You see me off
with a polite wave
I depart alone
wrapped in
this coal fuelled blanket
my final destination unknown.

Trundling below
stolen from the depot
my brake van home
on vanishing railroad tracks
behind me, into the past
embraced in silent fog
from the trains smokestack
stations fade, forgotten at last.

Holding your invite
this platform
stood there with a old suitcase
with my intitals on
you dont board I dont alight.

You see me off
with a polite wave
I depart alone
wrapped in
this coal fuelled blanket
my final destination unknown.

follow behind you

Following behind you
without hesistantion or doubt
is me, your pack mule,
admittedly I'd be cursing
and moaning through gritted teeth
during stumbling steep climbs.
Summitt views, spoilt
as I gasp for deep sweaty breaths
Unfocused photographs
captured with a camera timer
i still cannot work.
With my Ray Mears skills
I'd improvised a hammock
to keep you out of the
reach of creepy crawlies
as I stand guard
with a long stick.
When you tire
I would scoop you up
in my arms and carry you.
Whether just down the road
or the otherside of this planet
anywhere would be home
as long as its with you.

trees stick out like giants toes.
Valley morning view.

a haiku about being british

.Queue.
Loud sharp cutting tut
echos across post office.
British etiquette.

some haikus

.HeadphonedWorld.
Favorite songs starting
public guitar solo now.
Dont care whose watching.

.Blinded.
Slow practiced strip tease
not wearing contact lenses.
No heart to tell her.

the peg i need

Faded posters
spread large, of forgotten
soap starlet women.
Form load bearing structures
covering these darkened walls.
Not for pleasure,
hidden by clutter
my self fought brawls.

This panic induced disgiuse
to hide frustrated blows
with no compromise
still no ability to tell
the truth to you.
come to my rescue.
my mademoiselle.

Be the peg I need
pinch me tightly
blowning in this breeze
on this washing line.
made from faded twine
stop me falling away
into a dirty unwearable heap.

Faded posters
spread large, of forgotten
soap starlet women.
Form load bearing structures
covering these darkened walls.
Not for pleasure,
hidden by clutter
my self fought brawls.

This panic induced disgiuse
to hide frustrated blows
with no compromise
still no ability to tell
the truth to you.
come to my rescue.
my mademoiselle.

Cracked knuckles
bloodied chafed worn skin
like a bomb damaged airfield.
I refuse to hold you
in these damaged hands
not until they are healed.

combust with you

I combust and renew
soon rough seas violently boil
with my passion for you,
into the salty tears
that poisons the soil.

Once again,
this predictable routine
at my doorstep like clockwork
smalltalk begins, in its place
this pattern runs
like a heartless machine.
You arrive here.
Your drunken embrace.

This empitness is eternal
redeemed
with those few blasphemed
hours with you.
Im your bedtime curfew.

You're only interested in me
when your a failed drunk wreck
i still cant say no.
Last trace of self respect
lost long ago.

This needing,
deep self loathing clauses
allow my soul for these moments
your beer smelling perfume disgusts
delicate soft skin
with drunk noshing kisses.
Heavy handed groping.
This unending lust.

This empitness is eternal
redeemed
with those few blasphemed
hours with you.
Im your bedtime curfew.

I combust and renew
soon rough seas violently boil
with my passion for you,
into the salty tears
that poisons the soil.

a tanka

.FoundFood.
Heavy buzzard floats
wheezing on cold day thermals.
Easy picking snacks.
Prey shines on winters white coat
large black fullstops on blank page.

.Pond/Ocean.
Sunburnt skin peeling
shirt donated for a sail.
I will get to you.

some more haikus

.NumbSleeping.
Lots of snow angels
litter outside local pubs.

.WintersDeath.
Dying snow, collapse
fall silently from numb tree.
Star fades to cold earth.

Netbook purrs on lap
gently stroking the mousepad.
Modern day house pet.

some haikus about bits of wales

.SaturdayNight.
Caroline street flows
polystyrene trays float by.
Deep sea of cold chips.

.Rambling.
Startled sheep run on
huddling in footpaths way.
Bloody hell! Move! Shoo!

your batsignal

That hopeful glance towards
the heavily laidened
star filled sky.
the call of invisble birds,
under this urban orange light glow.
Im lost on these streets below
unable to get my bearings
away from you, teary eyed.

This thick overcoat collar
pulled up high to keep out
your cold fingered breeze
numb through
enough to bring
any man to his knees.
starving myself
of this hunger
for you.

That batsignal sign
a scalding meteorite
overhead bright
stealing all gazes
except mine.
no matter where i turn
unable to get away
from your presence
lurking in the shadows
hiding from your sight.
burnt out deep behind.

That hopeful glance towards
the heavily laidened
star filled sky.
the call of invisble birds,
under this urban orange light glow.
Im lost on these streets below
unable to get my bearings
away from you, teary eyed.

pulled up high to keep out
your cold fingered breeze

Of the more prepared.

some tankas

.WarmBed.
This broken mattress
sinks low, broken on my side.
Gravitational
roll over towards me, please.
Natural sleeping snuggle.

.WayOut.
Dead branches stratch hard
like a passionate lover.
Lost deep in forest.
Stumbling, exit path found.
scars remind, of this mistake.

Breath glazes window
thoughts frozen, captured in time.
Melt away slowly.

Lonely bird in tree

Face like no other
beautiful looks can stop time.
All stop in deep awe.
