Most of my poems can be found on the link in my signature but I like to get some feedback and as i've written some new ones I thought i'd post some. Not great, but here goes!

How to save a life

When the words are riddled with
faulty connections
from one category, when really,
you require another,
I worry
that consequently I will lose
pieces of you and be unable
to foster
a halting, a sophisticated dam….

There will be compensatory methods
of easing the
inevitable, yet no final promise
that I will be all you need-
I’m not.
Though I may long to be competent
I’ll remember
my pen poised in a sketch

during, ‘How to save a life’ lessons.

BELONGINGS

Say we do not
resign ourselves to
segments of earth. That
soil chooses its inhabitants-
We are not patriotic to a plot,
a scheme, an industrial tiger. We
shall dangle our geographic
colour coded clubs at the
edge of a sphere that
owns us in gravity,
swayed by the elements,
not by a siren of power.

-Unmade-

In a familiar hour
my unmade face will conjure up,
alter and smugly present
an inscrutable expression.
You, perplexed, will reduce me
to the matter I am formed with,
teasing out an unknown artefact.

When it is night,
I will trowel through our schemas,
I will scour our hands for new finds-
Creases you have encased in a fist
like an elusive mystery
for a knowing scavenger who
returns to a state of unknowing

As though knowing
is the pinnacle
of one expedition,
peering into
an unmade hour.

-Courage-

If I had the courage to be loved
without repercussions,
little chinks of empathetic stories
hushing every hearts patter to feign
subdued rhythmical beats.

Had I known I would have grown this way
I would have submerged myself in people,
scouring my soul for aspects of
the plunderers vulnerability,
the lies which reflect ideals,
the bravery in trial and error…
And my own capacity to catch
the countenance of another's courage.

-Thoughts Of The Perfectionist-

What if I can't make you happy
Anymore?
My heart has no voice.
All that replays are poignant memories,
Achy and worn,
Over played and over emotionalised
Like sentimental films.
My staccato heartbeat must be hushed,
From maintaining a rhythm of fear.
But what if I can't make you happy
Anymore?

Will I have failed at my gifting?
Misrepresented the hype?
Placed a stone in your shoe,
And a thorn in my soul?
Happiness is subjective,
At shallow levelled analysis,
But the heart of me longs for,
Height, width, depth....
Some measure of success.

What if I can't make you happy,
Anymore?


I was just looking through the website (...which I should update, but haven't done for ages*) and saw that poem and I think it's my favourite one at the moment, so I thought I'd post it.
