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.

Forgotten whisper
shivering breeze ghostly touch.
The words I love you.

Moonlit shadows flex
torch rolls across bedroom floor.
Silent puppet show.

Below bed hidden
amongst all my clutter lies
Bundled love letters.

Rich food will never
be the heartburn that you cause.
The sweetest dessert.

Rain cascades downwards
secret morse code messages.
Patiently listen.

haikus

Seven a.m. fog
blankets the world in slumber.
Loud creak trees yawning.

trees stick out like giants toes.
Valley morning view.

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.

sail to you haiku

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

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

gently stroking the mousepad.

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

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.

Umbrellas disrupts
upturned boats blocks the passage.
Of the more prepared.

Lost deep in forest.
Stumbling, exit path found.
