Black Holes

What drives this body?
What is this force
inside me?
It’s pushing me
it’s pushing me away,
from innocence,
from love.
It’s pushing me
it’s pushing me away,
from you.
It’s something like a hunger.
Maybe it’s a lack in my soul.
Maybe a black hole sits
at the centre
of each of the galaxies that all of us are.
Grabbing
pulling
devouring all the stars,
all the light,
around,
inside,
and between us.
I have become a weapon
that I cannot control
because I can I must and will
consume and never have my fill.

Bloodpoem

     A bloodship sailing over bloodsea, bloodstream trailing. Bloody faces, bloodied hands. Bloody bodies in the sand. Buried deep, a bloodseed sleeping. Soon to sprout, a bloodstalk creeping. From the Earth, a bloodtree born. Bloodred fruits, of hatred, scorn. Bloodfilled hopes and bloodfull dreams, of flesh by bloody branches torn, apart amidst bloodcurdling screams. What a scene, oh what a sight, great gory garden of delight. Dwellings razed and set alight, all ablaze, none left to fight. Just strange fruits fallen, adorn the ground, a Woman wailing, what a sound, bloodsoaked by the corpse she's cradling. All light fading. Putrefaction. Bloodlust sated. Satisfaction. ~MStJ~

Sense

  Upon the springy soft green grass I sat beneath the bright blue sky, time grew slow as clouds flew past colours rushed to fill my eyes. Yellow Dandelions grew, purple Foxgloves, wild red Rose, Iris petals shimmered blue, fragrance rushed to fill my nose. A cirrostratus veil of white, gently cloaked the atmosphere, filtering the bright sunlight, Bees buzzed & birdsong filled my ears. Blackbirds on a bramble bush, from branch to branch dancing about, gorging on the fruits so lush, rush to fill their hungry mouths. I sat a while until the wind, began to blow and chilled my skin, I thought I heard it whispering, It's touch sent shivers deep within. I woke up in my empty home, before the day could even start, I realised I was alone and sadness rushed to fill my heart.
