Tough choices



when your life's a fairytale
when your heart's on email
when your mind's asail
on the boat to nowhere

savour the punch
flavour the lunch
roll a fresh fag
bleed the last drag

catch me a lemon
crack me the weed
gift me your best
kick me the seed

when was it morning
when was it night
when is the right time
to pick a good fight?

float me a fable
a la clark gable
wish me a moonflake
I'd never forsake

fireworks tonight
head feels the bite
tongue drips the spite
eyes fade the light

--------------------------

Stay (Wright, Waters)

Stay and help me to end the day.
And if you don't mind,
We'll break a bottle of wine.
Stick around and maybe we'll put one down,
Because I wanna find what lies behind those eyes.
Midnight blue burning gold.
A yellow moon is growing cold.

I rise, looking through my morning eyes,
Surprised to find you by my side.
Rack my brain to try to remember your name
To find the words to tell you good-bye.
Morning dues.
Newborn day.
Midnight blue turned to gray.
Midnight blue burning gold.
A yellow moon is growing cold.

Break(in)

"Why do I keep beating myself with a hammer?

To feel real?

Because it feels so good when I stop. "
(Grey's anatomy)

No

It doesn't.

That's when the soreness really kicks in.
The futility of it all?

Yes

So I just find another hammer.

For variety
For thrills
for chills.

Why?

Because I can.

And you can't.
And you shan't.

Stop.

Is just another word
I haven't heard.

Cry

Is a non option
Rivers run dry.

Try?

Perhaps one day
When I can truly say

I broke the hammer
Just to stay alive.

Squeal if you care, keel if you dare

It's rainin men
hallelujah

they paved paradise
to put up a parking lot

Cos I've got one hand in my pocket
and the other one's givin a high five

(Ginger, Joni, Alannis)
-----------------------------------------

sweet child o mine
did you know
that the only bliss
I ever foresaw
was that one nanocigarette
sitting liberated
on the sidewalk
by the grocer's den
as a million passers by
drift by in sheer disdain
or predictable indifference

and you know
more than ever before
that the sky is yours
for the taking

and all those cars
you were afraid to drive
and every cockroach
that got in the way
were merely passers by
filtered by a haze of smoke
all yours
only yours
forever and ever
amen???

crack open the secret chest
of hidden treasure
and find
bottles
of chinese wine
nurtured
on aeons of esoteria
I've lost the key to
finally

one a penny
two a penny
hot cross buns
have you seen the elephant

'course you have
and you thought
it was a vascillating volvo
veering veritably
voracious-ly
via vicious venn diagrams
vending viagra
villifying
voraciously
the vivisection

of yet another
vintage
veiled
vaporous
vosciferous
vignette

of the veracious vamp
vacuously
voluptuous

vowing vengeance

where werewolves wished
they withered
with the wind

wings of the dove
puissilant paraphernalia

spelling errors
are here to be

let's play tag
and if you can get me

all said and done
I'll shoot you down
in my pink sequinned gown
with my very own
kitsch upholstered gun,

lol!

scared yet?

bemused?

refused?

used?

THOU SHALT NOT COVET THY NEIGHBOURS WIFE

Moses was a dude
with a fancy hood

Give me glucose
'stead o' manna
give me rainforest
in place of savannah

and I swear
to every fake God
that ever lived
this world
will go under
right down under
no matter what
no matter who

with or without you

I can't live

with or without you

Goddamned Oscillating Dog
greying gills
gushing Givenchy
go get gummy bears
It's all your good for

As you wait warily
for them to write you off
like they did Pluto.


Who the fuck is Alice??

Whither?

turning back I said...

the clock?

the race?

my face?

turning back to look again
for who knows what
might strike again

rewind
glance behind
the light you find
could leave you blind.

even as the setting sun
bids you fast
to make the run

you tarry once
you tarry twice
you hurry back
for one more slice

green apple madness
apricot sadness
dry ice gladness
the sky is a mess.

who needs a sunset
when sunrise is nigh
I've got my shadow
to hug and get high

just want a likeness
to breakfast in brightness
bask in the tightness
of true crafted lies.

for thine is the kingdom
no matter how fake
and mine is to perfect
the icing on cake

and ere it is darkness
the feast shall be done
no turning back
the race has been run

and what of those eyes
that still search the dark
for footprints that vanished
and yet left their mark

embrace the timepiece
unlock the day
undress the shower
embellish the fray

Wake up-

It's just another day.

Monday, September 11

All right tonight

tonight

I cannot think of angels...
No nor witches either

I cannot fan the flames that lie dying yet again


tonight

I will not seek redemption
No nor solace even

I cannot bridge the distance that grows longer everyday


tonight

I'll dream of echoes
those words that had been writ

of every wasted whisper
now muted bit by bit

whoever thought they'd live on
whoever thought they'd shine
made every magic moment
yet another glass of wine


and tonight

will be the damning
of another nasty mile
erasing every tremor
with calmly practised guile

--------------------------------------

tonight

there'll be no shadows
no lurking frightened eyes
no coat to give you cover
no food for telltale highs

the bed of thorns is breaking
the dark lord strikes again
the steel inside is cracking
and silence gnaws the pain

Tired fingers aching mind
No glory left to see
All alone on stormy seas
Fighting still to be


So close your eyes and listen
Lay your head on me awhile
Let the fever flow out gently
As I will your heart to smile

So won't you let go for a bit
and rest your faith in me

and let me fetch you just this once
a steaming cup of tea?
