Beyond Real
when Animal Farm is not a feeding manual
and Clockwork Orange strikes at midnight
Dali’s time piece warps under face value
and an eagle-eyed-cuckoo flies over its nest
beneath the cover of cotton candy clouds
she relieves herself into Magritte’s...

Terminal Choice
crushed at rock bottom he gathered the fragments of descent
slow motion agony that started at a plateau of deluded deceit
free falling sadness spiraling out of control beyond fast repair

the prismatic Self
gauntlet of mirrors transparency personified
transparency personified when the curtain falls

Beautiful Scars Bestow Ivory Grace
It’s not just Jesus who rose into grace with scars from nails and the cross
Trees grow new branches from knots like wounded soul’s blemish’s scars
A rainforest’s undergrowth thrives in the mist of weeping from heaven

Face of Cold Glass
the mirror warped at the sight of her distorted face
condensed tears spoke louder than thundering words
‘swoosh’ and down went another part of her soul
tore apart the bevelled edges and smeared her grin
a window paned groaned...

Knife's Edge
the tattoo on her eyebrow frowned
at the sight of yesteryear’s cutlass
the well-rounded blade had become
blunt dull and worn down from overuse
and yet straight to the point of salvation
the pain cut unceremoniously deep
like a double-edged...

Made from lost dreams and drift wood collected in seasons of...

Her anchor cut loose the compass’ needle bent and stuck in past of beyond
A mouldy flare with no flair a life...

Brain Storm
Tim had entered the state of a corpse while
the chorus assaulting his purulent soul festered
Callouses on his corpus callosum pretended
there was no connection just chaos exhumed
Corpuscles splattered astray ice in his vessels
in the same vein...

Opening
April had not always been open for change
as her name would suggest on the surface
too dark were her youth and gloomy mind
shaped by seasons of torment and abuse
as she festered under cover of loneliness
Only her...

And do not discount it as too much of a dare
Honesty and truth can do don’t think its a scare

she had lost the plot long before in an insane labyrinth of her mind
trapped in the rat race of high speed and the volume on full blast
incarcerated shackled and straight jacketed thumb screws and all

It drifts around the room like a lost ship at sea
The mysterious shadow lingers in...

obscurity is piercing like a laser beam
an eerie cacophony endures
the silent screams of a sledge hammer

lost in time space and emotion
gloom mingles with...
