Lick the finger
Tongue edge, damp,
Skim across the surface
Of the scorch-lit lamp.
Adrenalin creeps
Whilst flames slither
Into air, weep
As candles wither.
Indulge ablaze
This burnt amber haze.
No singe on the skin
No burn on the tip.
Lost kiss of fire
And it’s bitter-sweet grip.

Hegemony

I have a diploma
I have a degree
I have a doctorate
You can’t do better than me

I am an academic
An intellectual too
I speak the Queen’s English
Which is more that can be said for you
I am at the top of the fictional class system
That we shall not forget
But in reality, when clouds break free
We’ll find both of our heads get wet

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Point

A blank point
There is no point
A frank point
The lost point
Perfect point
Orgasmic point
Counter point
Pinpoint
What?
Where?
When?
Point.

Self Shatter

Is the glass half full or half empty?
Sod the glass!
Smash the glass!
Watch the jagged pieces fly
Hear the frequency breaking
Feel the particles shaking.
The remaining dregs fall upon your nose
Stick out your tongue and wait
Until they drip.
Sweet....

Because it is not the glass that's important.
It's the liquor.
You are the liquor.
Life is the liquor.
...and liquor is best drunk and enjoyed and savoured,
than observed.
Don't you think?

Fragment (consider revising)

Relook, rethink, try memorising
Because it's just a fragment, consider revising.

It isn't lethal or demonising
It's only a fragment, consider revising.

Pause, think about it, we're victimising
But it's just a fragment, consider revising.

Get it sorted, it's not worth televising
After all it's a fragment, consider revising.

It can be dangerous and sometimes surprising
....Beware of the fragment....
Consider revising.

Soul scam

Is it selfish to think your life is your own?
Everything you do
It is for you.
You are true.
Without yourself, you're through.
If I could, I would sue
This scam I've been sold, I must pursue.
Give to live to give.
Vivre.
Survive.
But what is this 'life' I'm referring to?
Or is the key just to do
What you feel will ensue
And only after will the residue
Embrace,
Caress,
and destroy you.
Where's the cue?
