Within each glen and glade
Lies a love withered and decayed

Milking sorrow
From Mother Earth’s
Teat

The gall and blood
All a love in
Defeat

there is no excuse for me to remain here
there is excuse enough to leave
and find peace finally
in Hell’s bosom

I wish to decay
away
into nothing
vanish from the world
as if I never
were

left in sadness
a shadow lurks
in my mind
with raging torrents
welling in my eyes and
the despair caged
in my heart

with no beacon to
guide me
from the shadows
of my mind
the sadness is
stained

There is nothing so evil in this world as a false love

To be deceived by love
Is a mockery on your heart
It is to drain the life from me
The life that you gladly stole
I wish no pity, but misery to befal…

Lacerations
Insurmountable loss
Deeply embedded
Misery

Today
Broken record of my
Life’s manic misfortune
Institutionalised
My future

Time has slowed and is owed to me
And my beloved
He has gone, his love torn from me;
To be recovered
…
Never recovered
…
My beloved is gone

To catch the fear
The lonesomeness
The idle hearts
Are broken in sorrow
Deepened wounds
With tearful
Dread
And torrents
Bled
Ill-fated
Ill-gotten
The love is spoiled

Now soaking in
His grief
The end of it
All

Fear of failure? Loneliness?
I’m unsure of what.
Or why.

A flaming bottle
A flare of light paints
The sky then retires in
Some unfortunate’s home

set out on hoofin it then found the feets get weary so risk’d it
in the late nite traffic
downhill on a broken bike

we link our hands
and close our eyes
we lay on the bed
for hours at night
