    14 January 2009 The Day I got inked again

     

    These are the days

    When

    I am a

    Wanderer &

    A listener

    I turn my ears

    To the city's

    Voices and sounds

    The vacated

    Market square

    Calls a beat in

    Fours

    With the stress

    On the first

    Drums

    Pounding

    Endless rhythm

    1-2-3-4

    And

    1-2-3-4

    The library

    Chess game

    Has cultures

    At play

    Vocal support

    And laughter

    On every move

    The tattoo parlour

    Plays its music loud

    And has the high pitched

    Nagging sound of

    Needles inking

    Skin

    These are the days

    When I am

    Just curious

    About life around

    Me

    As it manifests

    Itself in

    Decibels

    Bits of conversation

    Words unconnected

    Spinning a long

    Yarn

    Of

    Unity

    Ultimately

    Biking around

    I pick up the

    School kids' words

    On things cool

    In their new fangled

    Lingo

    That I don't speak

    I drink the

    Sounds

    Pure

    No mixed drink or

    Watered down

    Version

    It's strong liquor

    I can take

    That

    Hold my own

    And hold it down

    Cars honk

    My bike's wheels

    Splash the

    Silent puddles into

    Tiny voices

    The young boy

    Who's accompanying

    His mum in

    Inkstitution

    Taps his feet on

    Maiden's

    Can I play with

    Madness

    Sights and

    Sounds

    Still me

    Silence me

    Humble me

    Feed me

    Cuddle me

    My words

    Stay

    Unspoken

    My ears are

    Filled

    My tongue

    Takes a break

    I am

    Continually

    Listening

    To

    All

    Around

    You give 6 January 2009

    You give yourself

    Unashamedly

    Strike your different poses

    I take delight

    Your eyes look at me

    As if I'm your prey for the night

    I let you

    At times you look

    Into me

    Trying to find all the

    Answers and explanations

    To your hurt

    I hold you

    Your head near my

    Chest

    You hear my beating

    Heart

    Saying ba-boom ba-boom boom

    Boom

    Rhythm of life

    My life

    Of which you

    Now

    Have become a part

    A major role

    That brings pleasure

    And companionship

    And joy

    I rejoice and

    Renounce

    Each time

    A small beautiful

    Gift

    That I did not

    See coming

    Expecting no thing

    Happy with each thing

    Given by you

    Troubled

    Sweet passionate

    Girl

    Give yourself

    To me and

    You alike

    The Baker's Girl 30 November 2008
     
    Baker's notes
    Do many things
    They skid or fly
    They dance or skip
    They climb or tap
    Feel the mood
    Enhance the mood
    Manipulate & soothe
    Raw or slow & smooth
    Fill the room
    Stop the time
    Break the count and
    All in rhyme
    Syncopate
    Illuminate
    The crevices of my
    Soul
    Take the parts
    And make it whole
    (Do I dare to bebop
    a bop here?)
    Make me wait
    I hesitate
    Sing out here or
    Here?
    Baker's beat
    Tap my feet
    Sing of sweet
    & soft
    Feed me back
    To health
    Nutritious
    Wholemeal
    Musical munching
    And a lovely
    Baker's girl
    I met last month...

    My refuge 21 September 2008

    Monday, September 22, 2008, 06:18 AM [Poetry]

       

    My refuge 21 September 2008

     

    This is my Sunday:

    Cuddled and hugged & kissed

    My boys in the morning bed

    What a brilliant way to wake

    Then down

    Breakfast time

    Crackers for Tim

    Toast for Sebas with pesto on top

    And a grilled salami sandwich for Misha

    Freshly squeezed orange juice

    Pear juice soy milk

    And coffee for me

    I quarter an apple a kiwi

    I semi a passion fruit

    Followed by some muesli & more

    Coffee for me

    We wash we dress

    We dance in the bathroom while

    Doing all that to some Classic Rock

    Of CCR

    We hug & kiss &

    Create some fun

    I dance with Sebas

    I dance with Misha

    I dance with Tim

    Shoes on

    Jackets on

    The church bells toll

    Out loud

    Close by

    But not for us

    For we are on our way

    With balls and bike

    To the nearby football court

    To kick some balls

    Play some footie

    On the bedewed artificial green

    Top

    There's a hint of mist still in

    The air

    The moon's still about

    He doesn't want to go to sleep

    He's still looking to see what we

    Are going to do

    The four of us

    This all male family of four

    We try to stay on our feet

    We try to not hurt ourselves

    Playing

    We get warm from running

    From kicking

    From keeping track of the score

    Eleven nine

    The game ends with Misha playing

    Sebas

    Tim decided to play ball by himself

    The orange and black patched plastic

    That grandma bought

    I join him some minutes later and

    The game is kicking the ball high

    Up in the air

    On its descend

    Timothy tries

    To hit it with one hand

    Sometimes two hands

    See the smiles on our faces

    Four smiles four faces

    Simple game

    Twenty nineteen

    Misha won

    The game ends in injury and

    Tears

    Ball against face and nose

    The ref calls it quits (that's me)

    And consoles the injured player by

    Kissing him and giving him a hug

    We walk/bike home again

    Tim stops and waits for

    Us to cross the street

    He looks at what the bird is

    Eating - a kaiserbrötchen -

    We walk carry the balls and

    Talk -

    Then the

    Boys are

    Picked up

    By my ex

    Sunday morn 11.01 am

    The house is empty

    I go up to the bathroom/ballroom

    And take a crap

    Off to the footiegame on

    My bike

    After the game

    Home again

    Then I realise

    That today

    Exactly one full year ago

    I got the key to this place

    And moved in on the very first day

    No telly

    No lights

    Just a bed

    No furniture

    Me and my house

    One full year

    Alone

    I drink some port

    I eat some dinner

    Dessert of apple pie with whipped

    Cream

    On top

    I sleep some

    I watch some footie on the

    Telly

    I surf some on the net

    Check my ebay sales

    Up to the bathroom

    Again

    Where I dance with me

    To some Classic Rock

    Shave

    Shower

    Write

    Outlook

    Book

    Read

    Masturbate

    Sleep

    This is my one year

    Anniversary

    Me time

    Sunday

    Life's great Innit 22 June 2008

    Sunday, June 22, 2008, 01:53 PM [Poetry]

      

    Life's great, Innit? 22 June 2008

     

    I'll not and drown my sadness

    In any adult percentage of

    Whatever kind

    However unkind

    The sadness appears

    I'll take it head on

    Headstrong

    Raw emotions

    Clashing

    Raging

    Maiming

    A full time battle

    Over a part time job at best

    What the hell am I doing it

    For anyway?

    Who'll tell me?

    Is there a real answer

    Anyway?

    These questions are the weapons

    Used in battle

    When most would say

    I should know better

    But it's not about knowing,

    You know?

    It's all emo-stuff

    The girlie bits

    I'm so in touch with

    The wounds will never heal

    This way

    There is no time to

    When fresh cuts are made

    In same same places

    Open wounds not yet

    Scars

    Or...

    Old old scars

    Ripped open ‘gain and again

    And

    Some

    More

    Ah well,

    Don't be a wuss

    You melodramatic

    Old fart

    Life's great

    Innit?
