Evergreen
I know I'm stone cold -
I have always been.
Truth to be told,
that's not my only sin
but when I'm with you...
everything's evergreen.

the thing most golden
I didn’t have the golden hair
of those who chose
and were chosen
to be angels in the school plays.
Whilst I waited
with sore fingers crossed
they knew
just like Goldilocks
that they could have what they picked.
And I with my safety pin,
was always picking locks.
Back in my mother’s country
for the summer holidays,
where a glass teacup was always
warming the crook of my thumb,
I unlocked the padlock
on a keepsake box,
and held in the hollow of a damp palm
an odd memento,

that one guy
That one guy.
That one guy with ripped jeans and a white shirt that smelt like lemon and lime.
That one guy whose voice melts into you with that zesty orange tang.
That one guy you couldn’t have.
That one guy with silky black shoulder length hair and mocha skin.
That one guy with smooth milk chocolaty eyes, and a smile that caused a hurricane in your heart.
That one guy, that one guy…
…you just couldn’t have.

A Fish in the Attic (thoughts of my father)
Brittle and grey-dry
Childish heartstrings stretch
Past design in desire
For loving reason's return
Stretched until strain
Forms branching crimson cracks
Absorbing dust and loss
Wrung from veins
To stain a wooden floor
Begging in measured silence
In tin-can laugh tracks and
Barely bitten-down rage
To look past madness and pain
And remember loving reason
A drop could quench
This grey-dry lip-crack thirst
But the last of loving reason, wasted,
Stains the wooden floor
