so i dont come home
no money today
no money yesterday
my hunger grows
no pay cheque for you
nothing to show
so i dont come home
my shoes worn bare
look for work to spare
travelling miles
this town dont want me
living in exile
so i dont come home
my belly full
with free water handfuls
my soul empty
exhaustion takes hold
i cry darkly
so i dont come home
no money yesterday
my hunger grows
no pay cheque for you
nothing to show
so i dont come home
my shoes worn bare
look for work to spare
travelling miles
this town dont want me
living in exile
so i dont come home
my belly full
with free water handfuls
my soul empty
exhaustion takes hold
i cry darkly
so i dont come home
back and forth
this weight
held by one
unbreakable
strand
pulls me down
further
inside myself.
if I do not
move
it does not
sway.
a pendulum
of heartache
back and forth
between melancholy
and hysteria.
tightening my fists
to regain balance
forgotten pen,
in hand now broken.
ink flows
from open wound
black thick
thoughts runs on.

gin tears - blues song
i sleep so badly
now you're gone
our bed sheets littered
with broken bottle hazards
because you won
my tears bleeding
soaked mattress
you broke my gin bottle
my clothes are rotten
from the spilt gin
now you're gone
our bed sheets littered
with broken bottle hazards
because you won
my tears bleeding
soaked mattress
you broke my gin bottle
my clothes are rotten
from the spilt gin
another bluesy song attempt
my shoes tied by wire
to keep me walking
with my tin can fire
to keep me warming
stoked hot and burning
by old photos of you
I'm still yearning
yellow flames purging
our shared memories
until the next morning
as I find more photos of you
and fall in love
all over again with you.

the last danish pastry
Sitting there,
slowly turning stale
why have you been left behind?
I wanted a pastry
but you might
of ended up on the floor.
So maybe not,
as I turn to the
prewrapped sausage rolls
slowly turning stale
why have you been left behind?
I wanted a pastry
but you might
of ended up on the floor.
So maybe not,
as I turn to the
prewrapped sausage rolls
the tea soaked desk
Panic!
I'm falling.
No. Wait, as I release my
grip on the desk.
I just leant back in my chair
after I kicked the back adjuctment leaver off.
I'm falling.
No. Wait, as I release my

All's Said and Fallen
Secrets smuggled still unheard
in matchboxes
lashed tightly under lit lanterns.
watch them rise as flickering birds
reflected in the dead eyes of curious foxes.
Scream out your frequency
aim up at the sky.
Stopped dead by the verbal boundary
reflected back down to me.
Show me the night sky
where wished laidened
shooting stars come to die.
show me the dead souls
we're unable to console.
Whispers carried in the forest
treeline branches
snagging ambush cut open the loudest.
herded back down to those so biased
those who remain scatter our forgotten ashes.
Scream out your frequency
aim up at the sky.
Stopped dead by the verbal boundary

My broken heart still bleeds
dying from what it needs.
I said pour the salt on

Pour me a large one

Bye bitter tasting mouth

rubix cubed
Camouflage myself
with cottonwool ball attire
in the rooftop clouds
where I’d secretly admire
the outline of your face.
Until i slip and fall
with spitfire arcing grace.
Placed on your knee
this rubix cube puzzle
the only patient one enough
without peeling off coloured squares
to solve me.
Expansion bridging
shouldering your hearts desires
through gritted teeth
burning smoke signal fires
whispers soon faded.
towards other side
move on collect two hundred.
Placed on your knee
this rubix cube puzzle
the only patient one enough
without peeling off coloured squares
to solve me.
Replacement spring
in this worn out jack in the box
still then unopened
now ready for my spacewalk
your jake to your finn.
Adventuring now
our time onwards no trade-ins.
Yours and mine.

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.

bowling ball faced man
with chipped features, stands
scowling through

at pipe cleaner bendy

enjoying their summers.
This familiar jealous pose

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

This keyboard slowly

as I write toadstool notes
joined together like fairy lights

Spelling out in morse code,

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.

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.

on the pavement catching your breath
no more, no more is your new mantra
walk further, instead of the bus of death.

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.

knuckling trees
Playful trees tickle each other
carrying misheard chinese whispers
under your canopy hiding from harsh sun.
sit uncomfortably between knuckling roots.
with boney grandmothers fingers,
leaves rustle amongst the treescarrying misheard chinese whispers
under your canopy hiding from harsh sun.
sit uncomfortably between knuckling roots.
a haiku about a mayfly
.LifeOverInOneDay.
Mayfly uppercut flight
resting now on summers breeze.
Prolong this short life.

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.

some haikus
.Cricketing.
Fielders in hot sun
white daisies against park green.
Loud cries of how's that.
.OverLoaded.
Heavy branches hang
shopping bag carrying droop.
Spring blossom to fall.

cardiff town centre
Old scars lazily covered
with flowerbed and tree bandaids.Your deep green park lungs
clogged with cancerfrom smug student disposable bbqs.
My love for you fades.
This place I no longer care,
to remember.
Just kidding yourself
Square tall apartment buildings
stand eggbox empty like my heart.
Soul sold down the Taff
asbo seagulls
meancing war cry squawk then laugh.asbo seagulls
Sitting on wasted street art
Straight from uni deadend job
Down St Marys street
the weekend crew
blue jeaned, checked shirt, brown shoed.the weekend crew
Broken feeling inside blue.
This place I no longer care,
to remember.
Just kidding yourself
Cardiff town centre.to remember.
Just kidding yourself
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.
neither pirates or castaways

yes we bellowed.

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.
a forgotten garden haiku
.WhatOnceWas.
Forgotten garden
lurks with tramps beard mystery.
Hope hidden away.
a haiku about daisies
.SpringCoating.
Warm daisies sozzle
cowboy hat dotted festival crowd.
British garden lawn.

Somewhere far out there
waiting soulmate sips coffee.
This journey to face.
.Polluted.
Thick strangling smoke
chokes forest, posioning brown.
Flytipped plastic burns.

shopping days
Pocket faded crumpled shopping list
rubbed out pencil items
replaced with neat inked requests.
Aisles blocked with social chatter
ignored spilt milk.
Dumped items left on display stands
replaced with buy one get one free deals.
Defrosting prawns sit amongst
packets of exotic flavoured crisps.
Reduced yellow labeled bread prodded
by cheap fat fingers.
