Pain

The pain of unreciprocated love
Is something that everyone knows once and
Fits this deep wounded soul just like a glove,
Holding the pierced heart in the bleeding hand.
In the end we all have to choose to die
Or find someone else we can crucify,
Forget your gender and render the sky
A new colour in your burgeoning eye –
You can [...]

Over The Disease

He swears to himself that he will
Not let the curse of a cancerous growth
Consume the power of a sacred oath:
Determination will defeat the hill,
Overcome the tumour that seeks to kill
Faculties, mental and physical, both,
His shortened span never allows for sloth
And he struggles on still though he is ill –
Certain others would throw him in [...]

14 Lines

Every single set of fourteen lines
In an eloquent form of verse enshrines
The message I’d wanted to put across:
That is why I truly love the sonnet –
I’d place the weight of my love upon it;

couldn’t do it now read that awful shit
doesn’t interest me reading of freaks
contains less than an ounce of basic wit
these geek boy fans talk about [...]

A Spenserian Sonnet

arseholes, bastards, the fucking cunts and pricks
blockhead’s sung of you once upon a time
assembled against apathy each sticks
clever men with an oscar wilde type rhyme
against capitalism sunk in lime
can we free the world from the passing buck?
their big budgets can buy a lot of time
cash sets you free you just don’t give a fuck
can faith [...]
