My attempts to write poetry started in December 2011 when during a high point of my bipolarity I became intrinsically entwined in an ostentatious web of the English language expressed first in a letter to my friend Paul and followed by my first poem Conatus Essendi. I did not try to write again until January 2017. These are my humble efforts, probably none are finished. There are more but they all need more work and will come as they progress.
Conatus Essendi
On such a day the primal scream seared the void
Eclipsing the sun with a phonemic cowl as absolute and unforgiving
As the swarm of befouled flies that shroud the rancid cadaver of an Eden
Despoiled by the hunger of woman
Nascent spawn of bone
Hatched from the cage of yearning
Neotenous prey for ophidian seduction
Cradle of genesis
Mother to the birth of death
Behold the man
Metamorphosed crystals of saliferous pearl crust pineal lids
Bleeding cataracts of anthropophagite tears gorge on flesh
A synergy of coruscating rubies erupting from the cinereous father of perception
Leech into the abyss of time
Coagulating the soul like a scab

Unaccustomed As I Am
Dare I speak my feeble lines
In a room crowded with opinions
Solitary
Don the Kothornes
Take the stage clad only in word
Naked
Rip open the trench coat
Flash my naked soul
Vulnerable
Indecent exposure
Emotional prostitution
Guilty
Sinful Hieronymusian word bender
They will not forgive my molestation
Devil
I will be heard featherless
On the tenuous wings of poesy
Incarnate

In Danger of Being a Poet
In danger of being a poet
Without any risk
What do they know
The informed the Hoi Polloi
I understand rhythm
Meter and rhyme
Is it a crime
To ignore the Patten
It was funny at the time
Rhyme a batten past
I´m not the last
No sprint to print
Fuck them all

Youth on a Bus
She strokes her hair
An involuntary tell
I could not have read it then
Then when I was too a fawn
He wants to speak
He wants to oh
So gently brush the lonesome
Strand of hair her hand forgot
Free her blushing cheek
He constrained chained by doubt
His own reflection staring
From her fallow eyes
Rabbit in the headlights
Careering juggernaut
Icy road he dare not ride
And then that frozen second
Thawed
She kissed him
She strokes her hair
An involuntary tell
I could not have read it then
Then when I was too a fawn
He wants to speak
He wants to oh
So gently brush the lonesome
Strand of hair her hand forgot
Free her blushing cheek
He constrained chained by doubt
His own reflection staring
From her fallow eyes
Rabbit in the headlights
Careering juggernaut
Icy road he dare not ride
And then that frozen second
Thawed
She kissed him

Island
On an Island in cacophonous sea
Waves crashing smashing
Merciless upon the drum Μοντέρνα Λαϊκά
Haven still for lexic tempest inner me
Island once last redoubt of a shipwrecked
Mariner die cast away in an ocean of Djinn
Pole to Pole water Eau de vie
Quaffing golden cups of Babylonian whore
Rimming iniquity genieus bottled
Messageless on a Desert Island Diskworld
I knew her then beautiful
Vulnerable womanchild Mohini
Dressed to allure enticing
With unanswered promises
Purses from the pockets of men
Thirsting Nectar Σαρκὸςτέμμα
Soma shots Amrita Άμβροσία
In a garden of earthly delight
Fledgling girl gives pen and paper
Καλλιοπε in holdups for the eye
Succulent Space
Food for Teething Vampires
She will not nest Paros does not invite
Experienced innocence
Flawed perfection
Speaks for her humanity
Agave of another desert
Here she would wilt and die
A succulent exsanguinated
Astral bodies intoxicating rhythmic
Sylphide graceful elegant Θεές
Memories of the Port Café
The old man boilersuited
The exquisite child
Mother fettered cyclops bride
A corpse and mother chained
Dance no more
Port in a storm
Anecdotes and Alcohol
Stillwater Zen Harmony
Tom Waits I drink

Drain from the vein of the nine every drop of inspiration
