Religious Narrative On Gay

You know it is very sad 

that religious types deny us our lives 

they are still trying it on, even today 

because it suits their narrative on gay. 

Don't you wish they'd take their chosen beliefs

and just go away. Enjoy their dogma

in the quiet of somewhere else.

I hear people say, "Thank you Jesus," 

and I think mental disease,

but I don't try and change their lives

because of it. I don't try and change the world

because I think they are raving mad.

Desperate Verse

I'm a lazy arse

Can't be fagged to put it in verse

A gentle soul is a curse,

I'll be a poet soon


You know, when I choose

Went I grab the inspiration,

Part revelation, part blues,

I’ll scribble it down for you


Capture it, with a lasso,

The butterfly net of my mind,

But it is a grind, to make it good

And get it to you, dished up refined

Ten Years

My best friend

You have been dead

for ten years, and

life has moved on,

and I was strong,

Which seemed wrong,

somehow.

And now

I feel so far

Away from you.

And the cheeky smile

On your face

has faded

from my view,

even when I close my eyes

I can barely see you.

Choice

Your choice

Religious views

Are not the same

As how I was born

Divine Grace

The only thing I know

That comes close

is lemongrass on chicken

With which I feed my face

Existentialism is

The only truth we all need

To live authentically

Braggadocio

Life as we know it

Is coming to the end


my friend, slipping

through our hands.

Grab hold of your child’s smile.
