Icarus

Icarus

Battle worn

The battle rages on
Leaves me weary
Restless and weak
But at
This moment
I am left
To decide
Am I one
Engaged
In the tumult?
Or Am I
The ground of contention?

(2015)

We cross one another

In the street. Pensive glares pregnant with meaning. Imagined Memories. Greetings between Former lovers wrenched

Lost my thought

I’ve lost it again The words were just there Right on the tip Of my mind Now they’ve descended
Never Again

Never again Will I be the means Used to deal my love an injury Never again

I want to hate you

I want to hate you I want to blame you For all the pain In my heart I want to hate you

Lamenting Eden

Naked and unashamed
 The garden abandoned
 Acceptance exchanged alienation in judgement alone

You were more Than yourself For me You were A reason

What am I hoping for?

One more meeting Just one more Rendezvous And the courage To speak up

I know you... Still

I know That you still feel The same as I do I know That it can only
You made me young

You made me young Took away all my excuses You brought me to life Demolished ever inhibition You taught me to love
Fire

The cherry red tip of ash falls from her cigarette to make love with a dry autumn leaf and set the forest ablaze.

Men who go home to wives who don't care

The million incandescent bulbs that line Gibbs St from Barrett Place to Main go out just after midnight. Stragg… smokers sit or stand in the alley

The hustler

What are you selling Everybody is That thing that you have That’s icing and fizz Every encounter
I have touched the sky

Easy to lament Greatness touched and then gone bu… Few taste it at all
The hangman

There’s a hollow place Where your heart belongs Its vacuous emptiness Drains all compassion Consumes without satiation

What have you done?

I’m not sure whether I love or ha… The me I am because of you You reminded me How good it felt To feel without reserve
