A gorillas existential crisis

Poetry

Shoelaces

Apr 5, 2017MattLeave a comment

Don’t become tangled
Like your shoelace
There is no need for haste
Always bracing ourselves
For the crash at the end of the race
Don’t chase that which runs away
There are no forks in the road
If you choose a different way

Poetryday 5, fast life, haste, NaPoWriMo, Poetry, slow down, writing

Internal scream

Apr 4, 2017Apr 4, 2017MattLeave a comment

Bubbling to the brink
Cracking to the sound
Of my lips creak
Devouring dinner
With a familiar longing
for something more substantial
In retrospect
Realising
I am my own downfall
Surrendering to my own shock
Shattering my reflection
With my internal scream

Poetryday 4, demons, depression, horror, hunger, mental health, NaPoWriMo, Poetry, scream, writing

Virtue of spanking

Apr 3, 2017Apr 3, 2017MattLeave a comment

I pause to reminisce
On those blushing cheeks
As I drove home
The virtue of spanking
And afterwards you were down on your knees
As a means of thanking

Bile

Apr 2, 2017Matt4 Comments

I kiss shame
As the bile rises up
Placing primal urges
Back out of reach
In the hopes I won’t follow
Back to these baser instincts

Cancer sticks

Ghosts blush blue
Like smoke
As you kiss
Those cancer sticks
Standing in your window
Of haze
You always were one
To say goodbye in a blaze

I am her tree
where she explores
my human capability to bleed

Something wrong is written this way

Mar 30, 2017MattLeave a comment

What about hank?
I heard his wife beat him
With nails in a wooden plank
He should have fought back!
What a foolish man!
Beaten by a woman!
No, wait I better take that back
I hope she doesn’t feel insulted
That would be very sad.

Wanting death when there is no release

Mar 29, 2017Mar 29, 2017MattLeave a comment

I’m terrified I’ll want to die
When the news travels down
The grapevine
I’ve been to that place
I’ve had my neck in the rope
I’m scared I’ll still fight
Against my own conscious will
When it comes to the kill.

Resentment

Mar 29, 2017Mar 29, 2017MattLeave a comment

You can hear the squelch of resentment
In your shoes
Stood there
Putting your intellect to no good use
Don’t think my acknowledgement
Of your intelligence
Is a compliment
I’m calling you the lowest of the low
Because you know
What you do
Yet continue to.

Squiffy

Mar 28, 2017MattLeave a comment

The reality of life is mindbogglingly squiffy
Topys tervy, upside down, a little bit iffy!

And we
Fold our thoughts…
Into our brains…

With questions bigger than ourselves

Is it any wonder we get ourselves into a tizzy?
