The Rhythm For Another Summer

I remember piano melodies,
Fragrant notes floating with ease Through the sprawling humidity Of a Sunday together.
Waking to a familiar face, Familiar arms around me, I remember the sweet collision, As we woke into the same world.
I remember particles of dust, Caught in rays of sunlight, Shadows fading and growing, As uncounted hours changed hands. I remember coffee stains, Smudges on fresh newspapers, Cats lying asleep, With grins on their faces.
I remember breezes, Tumbling in through the kitchen Where we kept fer

The City is a ThiefSomething fell out of my pocket. An object still unknown, But it became lost, I suppose, Somewhere along those city streets.
Something was thrown away, With a half-finished cigarette, Adopted by an evening draft, Climbing up through the sky.
Something was shed from my skin, In the biting autumn dusk, Disappearing beyond the rooftops, Lost forever, hidden up there.
Something was forgotten, Amongst the cobblestones, Amid the sea of hostile faces, Trampled underfoot, unseen.
Something was stolen from me, Grasped and p The City is a Thief

The Deep Black Sky of WinterTrams clattering through a bitter wet night, Cobblestones frozen, cloaked all in white, Snow falls quietly, covers the streets, The litter, the miserable, all that she meets.

I awaken thrice, pacing my glass tower, Engulfed by the echoes of a sworn icy hour, Where nothing can break the spell of regret, When to reminisce is an intolerable threat. I stand always silent, within my dark room, Observing it all from tomorrow’s tomb.
Return me to sweet dreams where she does not visit, Where her non existence is relief so exquisite,
But if I slept for centuries, w The Deep Black Sky of Winter

1994Shaking hands with winter, The breeze has lost its grin, And we live with icy menace. Hope fades with the last light of autumn, And the dark days bring memories.
Marching over sneering streets, You see phantom corpses, Spiraling upwards, One by one Crying out to God.
Forsaken once again.
Who could dispose Of such dark rememberances ? Not I.
Not a doubt, They’ll keep you awake tonight, Rememberances tattooed on dark skin Untouchable by all the soap From here to Rwanda
In the midnight hour, D 1994

You should know.I am not like the others. Standing tall by the bay window which always   seemed as if
a train had left it at the   wrong station. Thin cigarette-aching
fingers, stealthily grabbing at a
jammed latch.
Five floors up - you should
know.
You should know. The window won't open if you were to drop one
of those pennies you used to collect by the pocketful,   it would impale
the skull of a man what if your father was visiting ; waving from the
pavement? You wouldn't watch. &nb You should know.

midnight mayhemeverything reminds me of you this neighborhood shines its streetlamps upon my empty heart as if luminating the holes everyone else has left me with.
i walk these cardboard streets my heart pounding against the concrete finding comfort and memories beaten slowly into the never ending hope i find myself tangled with.
laughter filled this cold air our breath rising into the stars the heavens in my heart/
midnight mayhem as lips connect and i'm electrified by you. just the memory is enough to make my heart s midnight mayhem

Went to the U2 Brisbane concert last week...fantastic....

It's so strange how sometimes you can feel so connected to music.

I'm going to New Zealand in January for a while. My sister's going to England indefinently. My mothers going to live amongst some aboriginals for a year. Third christmas in a row we'll all be apart. Ah, how random my life seems to be.

Won a bottle of wine today, but Lindemans, especially a red, isn't really worth anything anyway.

Have just spent a bit of time deleting a lot of old crap on here, I look back on most of my writing and absolutly hate it. I'm not writing poetry anymore, I'm concentrating on my novel, I'm at about 40,000 words which is about 1/3 the way through. It's called 'The Song of a City'. Stay tuned....
