Some art and poetry by me

I am not a good artist and writing by any stretch of the imagnation but I thought I'd share some of the art I've done over the years.  It's just a hobby nothing I take very seriously.

Decomposition of time
Feb 2009

I have a frantic whim
to get down on my hands and knees,
on muddy soil or cold bare stone,
to claw back every place that was ours,
sweating blood and tears until I’ve destroyed it all.

You do not deserve the privilege too share memories with me.

and so I thrust, repetitively, my fingers
down my already torn up throat,
to purge my mind of this intolerable disgrace.
You left toxins teeming round my blood,
adulterated me to the point of tearful delirium.

I torment myself by renouncing present-day comforts,
instead voyaging back through time so I can,
amputate you like an infected limb,
slaughter any part of you that still broods inside me.
In hope I might salvage even a second of the time I spent with you
or thinking about you.

You are the aching in my belly,
just an echo of remorse,
the decomposition of squandered time.
I mourn all those moments that I cannot re-claim.
You left a tumour in my heart,
slowly decomposing
For any chance I have of being happy,
will mean carving it out
serving back on a plate,
Only then might you grasp the reality
I DON’T WANT YOU ANYMORE!.

The pretend romantic

Feb 2009

You pretended to be a romantic.
Whilst insisting outwardly 
That “really… you didn’t have a romantic bone in your body”
yet still enticing me with mills and boon tension charged words and
bowling in the odd nonchalant comment about how pretty I was, 
you couldn’t help but notice my plunging neckline,

I used to wait up for you,
late at night.
to soothe your mask off discomfort,
at this scandalous situation we found ourselves.

The first time we fucked,
you pretended to cry
and I pretended not to notice the lack of real tears.

I didn’t mind when only a few minutes later, 
you forgot your imaginary remorse
and pinned me back against the wall.

I listened to your grievance about your lack of sex life
and domestic hell,
How you aren’t the only man
who’d had an affair and “almost” run off with a younger woman.
Implying,
(that made it all ok).
At the time
I suppose it did.

I longed to rescue you, 
telling myself, (and you) that I’d fuck you, 
no matter how fat and wrinkled you became,
or how putrid the smell from your sweating torso,
I!...
would be the one to love you unconditionally.

Because
you said 
you loved me back
I could picture us growing old,
or at least you’d grow old.  I’d be the contented young wife. 
People would marvel at how I stood by devoted in the face of old age,
finally agreeing our love was true.

Of course my fantasy curdled,
you predictably traded me in.
I was never the dutiful mistress you’d sought. 
With my fanatical nature and inability to keep a secret, 
the fact I was determined
you come through with some of those empty promises.

In the end
I was far too high maintenance.
