Falling


Last night, I very nearly fell off the wagon. It would not have been as spectacular as I or most others would have expected, but the effects would have been catastrophic. From very early evening, all I could think about was getting drunk and smoking, no matter how hard I tried I could not remove these thoughts from my head. It took every sinew of strength I had to stop myself from grabbing that leftover from new year (and by now very well chilled) tin of lager from the fridge, rolling myself a smoke and shouting FUCK IT! Thank fuck I never, because this morning I don't have to live with the guilt and the inevitable black shadows which would have enveloped me, those big black dogs and the butterflies. Today I am free, still free from all I want to be. Taken at face value, my fall would have been a pathetic one, minor to the majority, from a molehill not a mountain, but the injuries sustained would have taken weeks to heal, and that's if I was extremely lucky.



The Darkest Hour


and so
they marched
in time, long hats, coats,

the palest

of faces in gloves,
the procession of shiny black coffins

winding its way
through the street, marching

to the beat, of my heart.

Flyblown


down
the rickety pipe

the last one
twists

into the pit,
that loathesome pit

ever so slow

it twists

and turns,

black.

The Red Death


In robes

stumbling
through crimson curtains

fraying cords
flaxen faces, watchful paintings

candlesticks

I fall into that writhing sea of bloody hands
and wake to witness

the rise
of that slow, macabre

morbid dance of death

the sun

I write poetry here if anyone's interested

Butterfly


on those

deep purple nights
when the wind howls outside

biting

and flying
around with the limbs


of dead trees 

in it's teeth and it's talons

I form my cocoon
fix a gaze on the eyes

or the light 


which surrounds her glass body


Brand New Start

What I just said
