Anxiety

The best days of my life were those with no ambition and no future. At my happiest, I was a selfish lover, and I loved every second of it. A bottle of wine to write to in the evening, and long afternoons walking the streets listening to music eyeing up women. Brunettes were, and… Read more

Black feathers upon a lover’s belly. Laughter with a friend. Memories of spending Christmas time with family. Those moments when nothing else mattered. Not yesterday, not tomorrow. The older you get, the more you realise how many faces have died, and how many have left you behind. Some succumb to illness while others are… Read more

In a darkened room, my body was illuminated by slithers of light shining in through the window. I was naked, smoking a cigarette, and watching the town shimmer in the distance. I imagined them out on the streets, in the bars and clubs, their bodies electric. A girl, some lover, some sense of cheapness… Read more

Overhead. Somewhere hidden. Echoes of future touch as we sink beneath yesterday’s tide. The waves of our love, powerful and beyond anyone’s grasp. Hanging gardens, and the name of God as you kiss my throat. If you throw the windows wide, you’ll find me searching for your face, but you’re not there, and no matter… Read more

Images sometimes images + lovers not writers just dreamers + only the sense of self and nothing else to carry us through the night + only when I see your face there’s only you and you alone that I want beside me + it’s not madness and it’s not the booze talking either it’s just… Read more

Sunshine. Wave upon wave. The beating of drums and the way her legs invite me in. She dances with the hush of galaxies swirling behind brown eyes. Times hand can’t catch me while she breathes so easily. There’s no fear, only two bodies sparkling in the majesty of all that will never be known.… Read more

Lust in twist and turns like curls of glory that rush between us. Mouths and tongues beneath swirling suns of whatever comes as we fall and fall and fall from endless strands of thought and dreams to some other place where nothing can touch us. Heaven in the brightness of the sun as your arms… Read more
