all this!

Don’t think that you are aware,

Of how much this space,

Can grind me into the ground,

When it gets going.

Twice triggering psychosis,

Decimating my self esteem.

It feels like you don’t care,

About any of that.… Read the rest

How?

The point is that I am not willing,

To engage on this level,

The hard lines,

And rational thinking,

Of kitchen design,

Does not precipitate a poetic state of mind.

Tell me it isn’t so!

Tell me you were once here, and that we are just currently estranged.… Read the rest

Than the art of putting words on a page?

They flow from my soul like a watercolour,

Like a sculpture of sounds,

That the words make inside our minds.… Read the rest
