There’s a heap of new writing on here, I’ve lost my handle on it to an extent. Editing and formatting is something I will get around to, I hope You enjoy it nonetheless.

”Wineiskhey”=(Wine+Whiskey),
…the ingredient beginning with W the old lady on the train offers up to add to the elixir in the glass bauble. She’s been drinking it for years she informs me. The glass is offered around for the passengers to take a sip, one passenger doesn’t want to give up the elixir, she says she is going to ‘turn it in’. The elixir is tasting sweeter than the sweetest honey, its taste unleashing an orgasm you simply cannot hold back. Pretty soon the train is grinding on the tracks and sliding sideways. All the passengers begin to grow wings as the train doors slide open. I exit the train through the open doors and float skywards.………………………………….. for R.W., untitled 12/04/2012…………..
Your desires for here are painted in different colours,
I paint mine in black, with white and shades of grey.
Your dedication to other matters is a story written in your Heart,
the only copy unfinished, unpublished, and not for release.
As your Lover, my Love is your Love, but we are not lovers,
Are you a brother, a kindred Spirit, a teacher?
or just another intense and beautiful creature…
I still haven’t learned to stop asking these questions,
to not even wonder, to just let it unfold,
the mystery that it is.
And if the definition came,
then would come the question: …but Why?
And if I heard the answer,
then would come the question: …but for what purpose?
And if I understood it,
then would come this longing: …but I’ve got to know more,
I’ve got to …understand.
And I still haven’t learned to stop asking these questions,
to not even wonder, to just let it be,
the mystery that it is.
Connection to the One is a blessing and a curse,
for as light blinds or darkness falls,
I lament the loss to connection due to attachment I’ve formed.
They say attachment is unhealthy, they teach it in the East,
but when faced with a banquet, the hungry want to feast,
…and so there is still so much, that I haven’t learned.
Perhaps I am dark, afflicted, hungry, greedy, a thief,
I’m unsure of what darkness lurks in my own shadow.
I don’t think I’d ever steal from You,
and you’d never let me into those rooms anyway,
and if You did, I hope You wouldn’t call it stealing….
nonetheless that book is yours,
incomplete, unpublished, and not up for general release.
Nobody likes to lose sight of Love,
You are my Lover, although I am not yours.
As I am your Lover, your happiness is yours, your happiness is your entitlement,
And in your happiness I must be content,
and forget about selfishness, for then it wouldn’t be Love.
I’m not sure why our paths have crossed,
it’s another human relationship, You know I’m a believer,
I like to see these things as Divine and Spiritual,
but then I remember, that I’m asking those questions once again.
I’m not sure what You want from me,
I know it’s not broken trust,
troubles, emotional baggage, cuddles or lust,
and I know You don’t want to see me self destruct.
I’m not sure what You want from me,
company, laughter, connection, sharing writing,
common interests, iced coffee and poetry,
and then I remember, I’m asking all those questions again.
If I could give You just the best of me,
If I could give You health and healing,
If I could relieve You from your suffering,
or order You a hot wife from Thailand, or an android girlfriend
…that’s just what I’d do,
but then I remember, I’m only human.
If our friendship could last a lifetime,
I’d make it so.
If I knew you’d be around,
I’d make it so,
If I could give You my whole Heart,
I’d make it so,
but I’m only human, and that would be silly,
and I can’t control destiny,
other people, or anything.
The Love that shines through You,
it radiates, it’s wild.
Your sparkling eyes,
they glisten and smile.
The wisdom You hold,
it fascinates me.
You’re rare and unique,
as though you don’t belong here,
as though you’re not from here.
And then there’s the fact,
that You paint your dreams in different colours,
and I paint mine in black, with white and shades of grey.
As they say, attachment is unhealthy.
Nothing is permanent, things are only temporary.
the universe is built and understood,
mathematically. Like fractals patterns repeat,
Perhaps that’s why I’m here again,
asking all these bloody questions.12/04/2012
Actions show up words. Unspoken words can be greater than words. Teach me the Arts of communication and its forms.

I had Kevin’s abortion, Kevin looked a bit like Gary Numan, Kevin passed on wisdom. Kevin shouted me scotch from the fridge hahahahahahaha. Kevin, we had a good time, I’m sorry Kevin for this poorly written reflection, I ought to have done you more justice, I’m sorry I had your abortion, but that’s just how it goes at 11 in the morning..

I swing from the shadow to the sunlight, back and forth, is this the way it’s meant to be? Opposites and duality? They say one cannot exist without the other. They say they give rise to each other. I’ve known great isolation and great connection, great pain and pure Love, great confusion and great clarity, I’ve held onto great beauty and harboured great ugliness, great peace and great suffering, my tears have become my smiles as my smiles have become my tears, my hope are intertwined with my fears. I swing from the shadow to the sunlight, back and forth. The shadow, it’s not as warm as the sunlight, but it’s a part of me. I embrace You. My Shadow.

The man you don’t have, the money you don’t have, the youth you don’t have, the sleep you didn’t get, the aspirations not yet fulfilled, the things you once had… Let the thoughts of these things fade from our minds. Allow the flame of our dreaming to keep us warm all of our days with the Spirit of wholeness.

How burnt we feel by what it is that we want and we don’t have. Let us focus on what we do have, and let it be enough for the time being, let this make us feel whole, just as we are.

Weird 5.30am musings….. I call it ”I hope You know this goes down on your permanent record”.
Forms are altered and pop in and out of thin air. It gets harder to breathe in thin air. We expect them to be more transparent than thin air, but when the shoe is on the other foot, and they want to poke into our private lives, thin air resounds with deafening outcry to the opposition of the growth of big brother. Transparency, what is good for the goose is good for the gander. The age of transparency is upon us. Go naked. Go free. Prepare, for it, to all be seen. They cannot hide, for we know they lie, we can shout it loud and make it known, but by then our covers blown, in larger numbers we are alright, when it’s on camera in broad daylight, the independent media, the internet, the whole world watching, the stage is set. We cannot hide, for we are online, neither side, is all that blind .. and when we’re out, they can see, what it is we’re about, in larger numbers, we are alright, transparency in broad daylight.
I once had sex on the front lawn at 9am on a Monday morning. I had just gotten home from work and my boyfriend at the time was passed out on the front lawn so I woke him up and we went for it, people were walking by on the way to work, I thought their stunned expressions were funny. I’m unashamedely open about what I post on facebook, and I don’t give a fuck as fucks are for having not for giving. It’s my private life and I choose to make it public, that’s my choice, I’m not at all ashamed. I’m pro drug law reform, an activist, and an extremist leftie. I contribute to anti police brutality groups, all the stuff the authorities wouldn’t really dig, and they’ve got open access to all the thoughts and information I upload, express and make public. So fucking what. I haven’t murdered anyone. So I’m in the ASIO database, so big brother is watching me? Perhaps they are. Let them knock on my door and I’ll shake their hand and say “G’day I’m Josh”, and I’ll be arrested for what? The crime of speaking one’s mind? The crime of believing what I believe in? Maybe so, that will be a
hell of a trip, the whole of life has been. Stranger things have happened. So our info is stored on a server somewhere and is accessible to those other than ourselves. No shit. And yeh, if someone murdered my little bro and they had to use his FB
account or someone else’s to get to the bottom of it, or if I went missing off the face of the planet due to an ASIO attempt to silence me, and they had to use my post history to figure out what went down, I’m sure me and my family wouldn’t
mind. One day we’ll all be laced with an RFID chip. Telepathy, all frequencies are under moderation, so please refrain from profanity. All messages indecipherable can be found laying on a broken telephone wire. Big brother is watching on cctv as
we walk down the street. Do I think it’s great? Not as such. Do I wish they’d fuck off? Perhaps so. Do I think it’s a good thing if they use such means to track down a serial killer? It probably is.
Given laws are subject to creation and alteration and records are indeed kept online indefinitely it does render one vulnerable to the possibility of prosecution or imprisonment indefinitely at any given time, depending on the whacked out
law they come up with and the ‘nature of the offence’. We ought to be worried, and to take loss of privacies and civil liberties seriously. These types of new legislation are always justified by the notion of if you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to fear, and then are used against the innocent and the brave regardless. We know the authorities are corrupt, and that “power corrupts and that absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
I speak openly about heroin, mental health, and prison on facebook. Mind You I haven’t told anyone about the upcoming importation from Asia (jks lol)… - oops … - …. - nah seriously I hope I don’t get interrogated for that, I know nussing, nussing! May our backyard abortion business flourish and fly under the radar of those who seek to prosecute us for what? For poking at a fetus with a coathanger? We’re doing someone a favour here, get out of our face(book)…09/04/2012
When I was a small child, my grandma and me collected heaps of fallen maple leaves from her garden and put them in garbage bags, and we took them to my kindy and made a big pile, and all the kids and me played in the big pile of leaves - and it was fun!

romanticism, reveries, dreams, and fantasies … are known as these …. for a reason ….. we walk towards them …. we want to realise them, we see them in our eyes … they’re our ideas, they’re our reveries, they’re our dreams, and they’re our fantasies, we walk towards them….. and they fade like a mirage …. reveries, dreams, they’re known as these …. for a reason …..

I’m going tomorrow, to visit a friend, who is in hospital, after throwing herself in front of a train. She’s 18 years old. She’s an absolutely beautiful girl. Why do we go through such hell. My Mum, she was an absolutely beautiful lady, and she gave up, and she took pills and drank alcohol until her heart stopped beating. We’re beautiful people. People ask the meaning of life, and call it a big question. A big question to me is Why do such beautiful people suffer like they do. Answer that one.

My life has been:
85% Self destruction
15% Self Love and Self care
I have an incredible drive towards engaging in self destruction and self destructive behaviours, activities and actions. One part of me wants to pill myself to sleep for days, wake up, and then shoot up drugs. Another part of me wants to live. To get well and to stay well. I’m in a battle, I’m in a battle with myself, and I don’t know how to win. I’m just waiting, I’m waiting to get into rehab for six months. I’ve been waiting for six months. I an only hope the all comes sooner rather than later. I don’t want to turn into the sort off mess of a person who nobody wants to know. I don’t want to lose my friends and upset my family. I don’t want to die, but I do want to take a handful of pills. It’s a battle within the Self. I don’t know how to win. I’ve been doing this for a long, long time, the amount of times I’ve walked out of hell, only to do well, and then one again fall. I don’t want to give up. Sometimes I do.31/03/2012
I am not an addiction, I am not an affliction, I am not a mental illness. I am a person, deserving of the same Love and rights as all others. I am a whole person, Heart, mind and Spirit. I am not my past, I am not my baggage, I am ME, I am STRONG.
\
And then I realised I was 5 days off the heroin, and that was 5 months ago, and I had a bandage wrapped around my arm, and I was at a train station, and I was trying to swap a bottle of wine for a knife. And then I realised I was suicidal. And then I realised that I’d been in that state before, and that having slashed up and been suicidal is not a state i’d been in recently for the first time in years, and then I wondered what in the bloody hell had gone on for six months, and I couldn’t peice much of it together, and then I realised it would leave a lot of scars, and then I wondered what I’d done..

I’m inhabiting this space. It’s a tempory space. It has to be tempory. A space where everything is feeling futile. Welcome to the space where everything feels futile and you may as well just fuck it all. Goddamn.
Wednesday 04th april
a place of futility
an obsession
confusion, depression
gets on your brain like a cancer
makes you think of things
like self destruction
taking heaps of pills
or shooting heroin
seeking oblivion
kindly lifting the weight off your shoulders
off your tired worried and wired mind
carrying you off on a warm cloud
making you smile
like a kiss from an angel
until it returns again
the pain
the obsession
and you forget
so forgetful
such a short,…
memory
that you were once?
that you are
indeed strong? something reminds you
something comes along
maybe it’s a friend who’s in
a similar struggle
internal war
with bullets and bombs
explosions and all
filling the mind
with all that and more
eating inside
like your empty stomach
eats itself
as you don’t eat
to punish yourself
as the parasite feast
on the banquet
of your heart and soul
consumes your all
and makes you feel
you have nothing left
as you forget
your emptiness
as your friends
or something sparks
within
like the engine starts
again
and you think, shit,
i’ve been in this car before
i know how to drive it
in fact i’m a pretty good driver
so i guess i should drive carefully?
or a tree might jump out at me,
I might not swerve to avoid at the last minute
I might be lucky?
I think myself so.. Time and time again..
Thankyou to You, thanks to you my friend(wednesday 04th april 2012
Get Ready. Everyone get ready motherfuckers. It’s 2012. This shit is going to go down. We’re all gonna grow wings.

Everybody is uneducated. About something? Everybody is educated. About something? Nobody knows anything, about everything? Knowitalls knowitall about everything? Some people know everything about something? Nobody knows nothing, about anything? Even knowing is innate, to the pure?

May sleep find You .. may She take Your hand .. and take You to a land, where You haven’t been, for a while, or perhaps not at all ..
a land .. filled with Beauty and wide open spaces .. where Your Smiles punctuate the darkness in the room .. as your dreams .. are lit .. with crystal Light from Hearts of beings .. and surrounding chalices .. May Sleep waltz in, with a candelabra in one hand, and take Your hand in the other .. and lead You to a land, where she will lay down beside You, and You need not abide, by the noise inside your head .. Only by the gentle Heartbeat .. by the Pulse .. of this land to which She knows the way .. may sleep find You .. may She take You there, and guide You back gently in the morning. ♥(04/04/2012)
don’t kill yourself just persist
keep trekking
as we all do
as we were put here to do
see the beauty where you find it
where it finds you
open your eyes
and be grateful for it
and for the rest
it’s just a test
and you’re strong enough
to walk long enough
until the end
until the end
You don’t stop walking until You reach the end of the track
You don’t go Home
until your Work is done
and then you’re born
You begin another one
we walk and walk
we’re here on Earth
like a weird school
a training ground
for ourselves and for all
on training wheels
until we’re jettisoned out
as small particles
of Spirit
into space
into the Stars
and the Hearts
and eyes
and minds
of many
who remember(04/04/2012)
Thoughts just led me back to the pride march, where you can be yourself and still be accepted, where you can be yourself and you don’t have to be anyone or be like anyone else - and still be accepted, where we all come together and find solidarity and unity in celebrating our diversity and our pride, well this is what struck me on the day, how at home I felt .. it’s strange that it doesn’t feel like that all the time or even some of the time but it does just for the one day … so weird, peculiar, fucking queer that I am but don’t seem to fit in whatsoever with the poofters in the clubs, it’s difficult to collect my thoughts on this (difficult to collect them in general lately), but where are my people, it’s hard to explain…
(04/04/2012)
..and I blew my head off, and it came back twice as strong, and it wasn’t long, before I’d remembered I’d forgotten again (04/04/2012)
Have You ever noticed, that when You think too much You go bloody spare?
And that while You were distracted, You really weren’t there?
Is that what You’d hoped for, when You disappeared for a while?
To be alone, unseen, unknown? To reappear, as if from thin air?
To tap your Self on the shoulder, turn around, and be back where you were?
Like God grabbed a giant cosmic wooden spoon, and gave it all a stir…(04/04/2012)
..I felt a bit sick as I walked back into the room, having returned from Oblivion..
I was born 2 months early. I’ll have to live 2 months longer to make up for it..
(04/04/2012)
Will I die before I get to see, the end of the show?
Will I depart before the close, because that’s what I chose?
Will I live to see. Eternity?
Will I at all face. Mortality? …Will You miss me when I am gone?
When I am gone I will join You.
When I am gone You won’t see me.(04/04/2012)
When You feel so strongly about something, and time painstakingly goes by, and You see more of the picture, as the pain envelopes You, wraps around You, weighs You down like a concrete blanket … and makes You blind to everything You see… On the other side. It won’t be long. Just hold on. Just hold on. ♥ XX

We dance around each other like shadows, like clouds move across the sky, I am in Your eyes.

..we’re the intelligent, the sensitive, the brilliant and the beautiful, …and we only just scrape through..
(04/04/2012)
..and they never told us, pain is a part of the journey, just come back, just come back.. don’t go near that waters edge, just come back.. your heart’s in the dark, your head’s in your hands … they never told you, this was written into the plan .. just come back, just come back..

I am the Love that surrounds You, that alludes You, that shines through You, that blinds You, you’re the confusion I’m tied to, I lied to, I lived with, I gave to, I stole from, you’re the illusion that asked me, to come with you, and I fed you, I bled for you.

i want to read. about Federico García Lorca, and i haven’t read about him. and i want to do that research project. and i haven’t made the time to do it, and I want to be consumed by the sea, and I’ve got your thoughts in me
(04/04/2012)
I’ve been living with kind. of a. disjointed. mind. A fractured Reality. deep in the Heart of me. You stand. and speak. your wwords. i type. like a dictator. but you don’t tell me what to do. i do it willingly.
(05/04/2012)
thank you for the rape. and the eviction.. thank you for the homelessness.. and the addiction … thank you for the arrest .. and the injury .. i caused to me .. and you caused to me .. thank you to the world .. who holds me in it’s arms .. and doesn’t let me go .. thank you to the ones, who are above and who are below .. thank you to the dust and the paychecks i’ve spent .. thank you to the gubment .. thanks for the rest..
It is but a passing moment, whispered through the leaves on a tree in motion, passing by moving swiftly on the winds of time, eternal like we are, tempory like humankind.
It will burn like a fire, as hungry as I feed it, and will stay alight for only as long, it’s embers the glowing the aftermath will fade slowly through the night, and all that will be left in the morning will be a smoky resin, and a sphere of ash on the carpet of my soul.

thank you to the man who bashed and robbed me for five dollars, my medication and a packet of cigarettes. thank you to the man who wrapped plastic around my head and pulled a knife on me. thank you to my doctor and my ptsd and my anxiety. thanks to you i’ve got this inside of me. something’s changed inside. i’m not the same. but i’ll be alright. (05/04/2012)
i used to fear. for back then i was an empty shell. i used to quiver. in the cold like a leaf. for back then i lived in hell. i was once told. of an empty road. a man walked upon. his body sold. a lack of food. a story told. (05/04/2012)
.. the sleeper has woken .. the broker has spoken .. the seal is open .. the wind is picking up outside .. the package fell open .. it’s exchange found floating .. on a broken telephone wire .. the message indecipherable .. the time is upon us now .. the door swung open .. a man standing .. dripping wet .. walks in .. takes the rug .. from under your feet .. wraps it around himself … walks back out into the night .. your door swung open .. your system broken .. the sleeper woken .. the broker spoken .. the deal done .. it’s time to sign .. another one .. i’m ready now .. with my gun .. pat me down .. clear the checks .. pass my umbrella .. it’s raining outside .. feel free to use the facilities .. i may be gone a little while ..

I won’t be bought, I won’t be sold, I won’t be lied to, I won’t be told, to go quietly, or to go at all, blood will be shed. I’ve got my gun. I’ve got my gun. (05/04/2012)
Physical construct. Built. Owned. Controlled. Imposed and Secure. Mental Construct. Can be torn from the mind of the Self. Bulldozed, paved over. Like a forest. (05/04/2012)
Anarchy. War. A Peaceful Revolution. S’cuse me while I duck into Coles. I’m out of Nuttlex. S’cuse me while I duck into Gloria’s. I need a caffeine fix. S’cuse me while I ride the train, into town. Please sit up sir, please stand down. You position is null and void. We have You on GPS at the following coordinates. Deploying military drones now. The empire is in our hands. We play this game like a family sitting around a jigsaw at their holiday home on the coast. We cast this web over you like a spell, and you fell. Easily, like a colony, of little ants, busily, hungrily, surviving, telepathically, all frequencies are under moderation, please refrain from profanity.

march 07th When I stand at the top of a cliff, looking out at the ocean … I’ll close my eyes … and ….my body will dissolve as I become ten million fragments of colour which will explode in all directions and light up the night sky. You won’t hear me say goodbye. But You will see me fly. I may leave You this way. A hell of a way to go, out with a bang.
…bit of depression kicking back in …. not like I want to sit in a hot bath and pop open a few veins, just that I feel like losing myself in some endless ocean or floating above the world in the rain at night time, I want be a rock in a river with the water washing over me, just for a while… just for a while …. let me be, let me feel the soft breeze, hold me gently, just for a while… - march 07th
The lane you’re in becomes the lane you’re in, it’s all the same fucking lane. The left lane never ends. (march 07th)
Was just thinking…
The future exists only in your mind. We are only ever in the present. The time is always Now. The past exists only in your mind. We exist only in the present. We all share the moment, all living organisms, all at once, simultaneously, right here Now in the present moment, All of existence is here Now, across the whole of the Earth and beyond. The future does not exist. The past does not exist. The only Reality is the present moment. Time is such an illusion. Minutes ticking past on a clock, disguised as time, that which we refer to as time. “I’ve got to be somewhere at 3pm”. 3pm exists only in the mind. The time is only, always, forever Now. (march 07th)If I were prime minister, ….I’d have a big army but they won’t have guns, just big boots and sledgehammers and stuff…. and i’d order them …. to smash up all the shops …. like myer and other retail giants … and to tear up the concrete ….. to reveal the earth below…… and smash up that giant fucking cactus that doesn’t even look like a cactus …… and plant a real cactus there, that will turn into a giant cactus tree ….. and my big army will plant plants and food and psychoactive plants and even weeds like milk thistles everywhere, and no one will be hungry …. and all the people can come and help if they want ….. and everyone can chillax in the gardens …. and as all the city will be smashed … and all the big retail giants and corporations will be smashed …. then people can set up little market places to trade little wears and interesting and fun stuff …. and they won’t need to have permits … coz my cabinet will smash all the stupid laws … and then i’ll order the army to smash parliment house .. and then i’ll retire and come and build a tree house in the great big garden that was once a city …. and the army will take off their army clothes, and there army boots, and they’ll come and smoke some joints under a big weeping willow tree, and everyone will laugh and be more relaxed than they’ve ever been, …..if I were prime minister….

I played a game of Russian Roulette,
with a curmudgeon of a poofter, I remember as Brett
He raised the gun to his head,
and said this is called ‘fate’,
dropped a stinker of a cum fart, and then fell on the slate
I walked out of the loo with flamboyant confidence,
Thinking this is called fate, as a soundwave became resonant
I tuned my ears to the venomous transerberance
and heard a voice tell me
that unity is imminent…
I went to a church and then I went home
I inhaled rump steak and then had a cone
But there was still something missing,
a void in my belly
so thinking of Brett
I ate Aeroplane Jelly.……………………………..

Impure snow and jumped on scag
running on the smell of an oily rag
All the things the piper collects
human lives to repay debts
I payed the piper for reveries
with rotten teeth and kidneys
burnt out brain cells
and endured a stay
at Royal Perth, in ward 2k
Enough I guess to suffice
I could have paid a higher price
I’m sitting here on a single bed
Sweating it out in a hot tin shed
But I have my angels and my friends
For whom I feel and to whom I send
My deepest gratitude and all my Love
For throughout the darkness You’ve been by my side
and in You I’ve been able to confide
my sins, secrets, my hopes, my fears
You haven’t judged, or thought any less of me
And that means the world to me
You know who You are, and You’re beautiful
Never hesitate to get in touch and I want You to know
That throughout your highs and your lows
I’ll be there for You too………………………………………………………………………..untitled - 24/01/2012

punishment and tenderness
I can’t decide what I’m in the mood for
have cuffs / rope, will You travel?
do You like to give it rough?
would You cuddle me and kiss me tenderly if I changed my mind?
will You come and collect me and Love me for a night?
or tie me up and get kinky,
I guess it’s up to You..
i just need some therapy
will you come and share soft kisses,
I think that would be nice,
don’t know if you’re in the same mood
the same frame of mind
thinking of punishment and tenderness
and just can’t decide
in seeking something at the moment
I can’t seem to find
so I’m looking for a quick fix
but it may not be right
so just to scratch an itch
come and get me
I’ll be your bitch
if your Heart wants to share
sensuality and desire
come and get me
we’ll explore our inner fire………………………………………………………………….untitled - 10/12/2011………………………………….Mate, fair weather friends are as common as acquaintances, boyfriends who Love You conditionally, and everyone else who comes and goes.
Our real good mates, the one’s who will be there no matter what mistakes You make, the one’s who You know will never feed You bullshit, and the one’s who know You in some cases better than You know yourSelf, it’s not uncommon that in the end, these friends, You can count on one hand.
Also, shit, if You can find a boyfriend, who is down to earth, deep and beautiful, on your wavelength AND fucking cute to boot who qualifies as one of these people, then, then You have really hit the fucking jackpot.
Try your hardest all of your days to keep your Heart open. You WILL get burned, so don’t be surprised at these situations, just keep your Heart open. It is in doing so that will serve You, your True friends and other kindred Spirits well.
Cynicism can serve well as a component of humour, and questioning things is for the most part also useful. Just keep the Heart open.
Much Love brother <3 x X (That is all).………………………………………………………………………….untitled - 10/12/2011………………………………..It’s not a test it’s a scope, a sphere, or a scale, encompassing pain, beauty and everything in between.

Seat yourself in the intellect, feel the analysis and grey matter tickin’, go stand in the doorway of the Heart and look out from there, it’s quite a view, or seat yourself down somewhere in the mind, get swept away in the movement which is the favourite activity of mind, see where the movement takes You, or take a few steps back from that seat, look over at where You were sitting and watch the mind become still again. Seat Yourself in the body, bear witness to the layering of sensory information alone and watch time warp, move beyond the body as You wake to the dream, see the Beauty of the timeless everything as You travel, perhaps to the ocean, or perhaps across worlds on the winds of time, this is also an option of tables, seats, doorways and windsurfing (or whatever it is that is your bag) available to various people for various reasons.

11.11.11 @1.44am ..quickly penned in response to a fb status update about finding love/breaking up..
…………………………………………………………………..in Love you’re so high you’re on top of the world
you hold nothing back you’ve given it all
a few hands of cards and he wants to fold
the happier you are the harder you fall
love the disease that gives till it hurts
it taketh away what you gave it and more
it’s filled your desires, hungers and thirsts
in the end you grow strong but you closeth the door
to play another hand, vulnerable and raw
in Love and in Lust You open the door
You step into the room, filled with Heartbeats and dust
Look around You, it’s dark… Why did You trust?
A few hands of cards and he wants to fold
the happier You are, the harder You fall
A few hands of cards and he wants to fold
the happier You are, the harder You fall
into this world, and you walk and you walk
you grow old, you feel tired, the fire goes out
just what sort of lessons were you s’posed to learn
you look up to the sky, you shiver and shout
You experienced the Love to experience the burn
It’s Inherant in Love is Pain without doubt
His voice, smell, and memories, within you they churn
You were luckier than some to see what Love is about.……………………………………………………………………../- untitled - /@9.50am/15.11.11/ ..on mining (uranium etc.)

rapists and thieves
assuming they’re right
to take, to sell
to boost their wealth
assuming it’s theirs

which is a lie
which they made up

it’s about time
we woke up

they steel and rape

………………………………………………………i can feel you’re not around
and i can still hear the sound
of that door closing
of that door closing
you and me until the end
but it seems to be my friend
the end came early
oh way too early
inside my head it’s frightening
inside my heart the fires gone out
and i’m tired now
oh yes i’m tired now
looking ahead and down the road
there’s open doors for me i’m told
a new beginning
a new beginning
i know you’ve got to go and find
your happiness and peace of mind
that’s what i want for you
that’s what i want for you
boy to travel without You
it makes me feel so very blue
and i won’t forget you
no i won’t forget you
no i won’t forget you.…………………………………………………………………….Calling Counterparts Convalescence
………………………………………………………….The smokey frankincense has saturated our space creating the most heavenly timeless atmosphere. My smiles punctuate the darkness and everything feels perfect. I have three or four heart shaped rocks that You picked out of the riverbed for me in East Gippsland. I have a long held depth of perception which takes me deeper and deeper to the fundamentals of the Heart, of Truth, of the Sacred of Everything which lies underneath the Human Distortion Effect. We were both there. Naked. Vulnerable, brave, in Love and Trust. If I knew it was just for a short while, I would still have said Yes.………………………………………………………………………..Untitled - 17.12.2010

…………………………………………………………….his face is worn the faux guru
who knows no other way
the boys and girls they sit around
and keep his fate at bay
he drives divide inside your soul
visible only in traces
of residual imprints in the dark
left there by the angels
skin soaked and flesh so tender
as to fall right from the bone
body gone and heart exposed
he’s not that far from home
looking You in the eye
and standing in the rain
he wants for You to see him now
as naked as the flame
cold and wild is the child
who’s asking for his name
and in reading You for answers
there’s comfort for his pain
the little one you’ll find he’s gone
good thing that he’s clever
by standing strong in the storm
with the peices that you gather
for just a time you’ll see him there
you’re looking in a mirror
the little one you left behind
the little one you seek
extends his arm for your hand
to have, to hold, to keep.………………………………………………………………………Untitled

My Mum, Joy, died in September of 1988 when I was four years old. I struggled with not having Mum around for many years. I’m not sure if it was so much the sorrow of losing Mum or not having Mum around to wrap me in her hug during times of sorrow. I have survived this through understanding, of her life and situation. Through having walked a similar path to my Mum I have come to understand her pain, and nowadays I can accept without too much difficulty, why she went the way she did. I think it’s a better thing that she’s in a place of renewal and looking beautiful than here on Earth suffering the pain that oftentimes is part and parcel of being human.
My greatest joy.
Life itself. Being part of and bearing witness to this life. Both the pain and the beauty have been so intense, although I sometimes feel otherwise, I wouldn’t be dead for quids. How do I ‘survive this great joy’ :) ? With a little help from my friends, too much self medicating. When I am in need of help I am never too afraid to be open with the people around me. To me, I am an open book and Pride must always replace shame. This means I am not ashamed to talk about where I’ve been, or what I’m going through. On the lighter side, well it isn’t hard to survive when things are beautiful and are rockin and rollin. I take plenty of photographs, write, laugh, dance, enjoy good times with a few close mates, make friends with strangers, try to share joy with others and express myself freely………………………………………………………………………..

1am or thereabouts
…………………………………………..
Life is ultimately empty. Live for what, other humans?
The journey. There is the journey. Here? This place?
You’ve got to be kidding…
There isn’t even any proof, bar that which I have seen…
and that may not be enough to convince me.
I can’t find that piece of myself that I reserved for this occasion.
I think I may have forgotten to set it aside. I think this time I’ve fucked up…
I think I’ve given it away. So come little one within. I think we should go now, you better go and play.
I’ll lie in bed and waste away.
10 days no food. 10 days no water. A little something to tip me over.
I’m no longer afraid of the darkness. I am the darkness. I invite you in hungry ones.
Find what you can
to feast upon.
Take me home should you find me first
I’ll dissipate in the universe
I’ll dissipate Here on Earth
Motherfuckers let me go
A true seeker FUCK it is a curse.……………………………………………………………………..24/09 @ 2.30am
This last one especially speaks of spring time. A good way to celebrate tonight’s full moon.
Although I crave the company of others
I feel a bit lonely & very much like dancing, I feel as though I will be alright.
I’ll stay in with the kids and my cuppa will keep me warm until sleep finds me…
24/09 @ 3.30am
My eyes are sparkling again. This time last year I was fried fish. This time, this year I am a month clean. I must keep trekking. I am glad to be awake to witness the sunrise and to welcome the new day.
@4am
That which I seek. Connection. I am directed to the bedroom rather than outdoors.
Peace and Blessed Be
—-Mayday
5.20am
It seems as though the natural order is well and truly in place. Human kind is but temporary, although I do wish we would stop cutting down the trees.
(prior to 5am)
In bed momentarily. He produces an intoxicating smell, of sex? Of something…
The smell makes me lusty. I pull myself until I am hard. I think about jerking off thinking of other boys, but his smell continues to intoxicate me.
I fantasise about love making.
Eating his arse and then…
I blow. My stomach is sticky and my fantasies subside, as he sleeps restlessly beside me.
To thy own Self be True, I whisper in his ear.
I get into some warm clothes, cuppa, smoke, and journal. Camera in hand I step outside. A possum scares the shit out of me. I laugh and take a photo. I see the full moon setting, setting? Does the moon set? Maybe not… Wow I’m friggin’ uneducated. At least I know it’s spring :)
…and I watch the sun bring light to the new day. The magpies call to one another, and sing praise to the morning from the surrounding trees.
Sex. Sex. Sex. Ggggrrrr!
I’ll stay out here for a moment or several and listen to the birds’ song and to watch the light -, the sky. + So it seems once again, the day is replacing night and the stage is set for today’s antics.
Bring Us Peace,
Laughter,
Happiness,
Health.
Fill our cups with your Divine Blessings. I am One unto You.

……………………………………………..My head, it hurts.
My fists, they hurt.
My body, hurts,
From being angry.
This anger, hurts
and I feel angry.
My Heart, it hurts
and I feel angry.
My Heart, it hurts
and I feel angry.Communication, Love, Trust, Patience, Understanding, Optimism.
Of these traits I know I possess within all six. The ability to evolve in, express, give. One cannot give that which they don’t possess.
I must make sure these six cups are full within, so that the overflow may then pour into the Hearts of others. Who am I. Am I my Mind? Am I my mental or emotional health which appears on the slide. Am I the spark to which ’ I am subjected’.
As I sit, passive, ‘subjected’ and in reflection, do I have the ability to change? To grow in these areas? To dispel and diffuse the negative opposites of the above mentioned traits, being…
Communication Breakdown, Hatred, Impatience, Misunderstanding, Pessimism, Distrust.
…within myself? Of course within myself. Surely I can ‘breed out’ these emotions. Within another? Only by ‘ceasing production of’ or choosing to perpetuate or project only their positive counterparts…
Communication, Love, Trust, Patience, Understanding, Optimism.

………………………………………………………..
Where are we going? Are we dying? Where are we taking one another? Where are we headed?
Which roads shall we take? Is there a route that will use less fuel?
Would we still land up in the same place? Would we get distracted along the way? Anyway,
Must we go at all today?
If we made it go away…
We could just stay —
Hug, laugh, kiss and play.
Or drive somewhere the sun is out
Lay a rug and talk about
What it is we’re going through…
Where we’re going —
Me and You……………………………………………………..written on the 22/08/2010
IN MY IDEAL LIFE

…In My Ideal Life…
…I am a transvestite warrior…
…I am a drunk…
…I am a loner…
…I am alone…
…I know no love but that of the moon and the stars…
…I have no one to love, not even me,
…as I am gone…
…I wouldn’t be a fool at the end of the day…
…and I wouldn’t be finding out the hard way…
…In My Ideal Life…
…My head isn’t this wrecked…
…My Mum is my best friend…
…and I ain’t quite this blind…
…I am fitter and faster than the beach road cyclists…
…I take care of myself…
…I take care of my man…
…I know who I am…
…I am who I am…
…I don’t lie to myself…
…I don’t tell lies…
…and I wouldn’t even dream of giving up…
…In My Ideal Life…
…Would I sleep in the sunshine and dance in the darkness??…
…Would I cry in the darkness and dance in the rain??…
…There is more beauty than pain…There IS more beauty than pain…
…In My Ideal Life…
…I wouldn’t be a fool at the end of the day…
…and I wouldn’t be finding out the hard way………………………………………………………
04.07.2009 - Sam 2
SAM… II
…………………………………………………….
Sam sat in wait, sporting the horrendous upside-down smile of a drag queen possessed, and flesh covered in goose bumps from the winter cold which mercilessly lashed at the sleepless St. Kilda streets. In five minutes time the chemist staff would lift open the roller door and he could buy his fits.
Two holes in the arm better than one in the ground, Sam thought to himself.
“Two please.”
The lady looked him up and down.
“One dollar.” She spat the words at him.
The acid was kicking in. It was eight degrees, Sam suddenly felt like he was stranded in the Sahara desert, and it was three whole blocks back to Benji’s place.
Twelve hours ago Sam looked like a different person. The blood red lipstick and eyeliner as fantastic as Siouxsie Sioux had done a good job in complimenting his masculine jaw line and high cheek bones. Uninhibited and bright eyed, he had let go the week behind him, and had handed himself over to the DJ who was pumping out classic tracks by Iggy Pop, Duran Duran and INXS. “Yeah baby, I got a lust for life”. This was his therapy, and it was a long time coming.
Sam sat quietly on the couch wearing a mask of vacancy. He studied Benji with a reserved hunger and a smile crept onto Sam’s face like a thousand years of unregistered expression. Benji was everything a boy should be, except his.
“I’ve got to be at the airport in two hours” Benji piped up.
“Then You had best get in the shower…”, Sam smirked, “…would You like some help?”
As the walls around him crumbled Sam realised it was time to hit the road. He shot the last of his powder and drove home…
………………………………………………………………………..untitled
………………………………….Like the deconstructed set of yesterdays dream
Like the melting clocks of a Dali painting
Like pushing a button and exploding into a million colours
Like an old tripper who makes no sense and never quite made it back
Like the burnt out used up good heart of a woman who gave it to someone she thought was worth it and the charismatic wild eyed young boy lost inside the wasted old sod of a bloke who hungrily destroyed her.
Like flowing and floating and flying through time and like struggling to move at all.
Like the boy who remembers he’s an aspiring alchemist after forgetting because he can’t help but ingest the chemicals involved in his work and like the boy who never gets to pull the chocolate cake out of the oven because the mix alone smelled ever so sweet and good enough to eat.…………………………………………………………………………Untitled
…………………
I set the effects dial to ‘full spectrum’ and began to undress.The water came out slow at first, the colours as soft and faded as the memories of last nite’s dreams.
Sliding down the porcelain and into the tub below, the colours seemed to breathe, and, with each breath they drew, I noticed, livelier and stronger tones began to replace the old pastel.
Each colour would begin to merge into another, but would just as quickly retract.
Flirting and curious, they happily played together, and I watched on, smiling at the theatre in my bathroom.
Standing there naked, it seemed almost enough to bathe in the dense field of translucent energy beads to which the warm colour seemed to have given birth.
With an elbow in each hand, I stepped into the bath.…………………………………………………………………………Sam
…………
The salt sank into the cuts on his body as Sam struggled against the waves. He knew that the ocean would take him if he dared to relax, and he would become a part of everything again. To Sam, this seemed like the perfect picture of heaven, but he was too afraid to let go.
The stars offered no help, and the moon began to grow sleepy. Sam continued to struggle, alone in the water, anesthetised by the cold and unforgiving ocean.…………………………………………………………………………

i talk in my sleep, shiver n sweat
i wake to a gunshot inside my head
my face is pale, i’m barely there
i sink to the floor in my underwear
crawl into the shower,
and run it on hot
all that i was and all that i’m not
i paint the walls with the blood of my man
i don’t do enough but i do what i can
it seemed to be how it was written
horror scenes and indecision
can’t avoid the rule or notion
our lives run on perpetual motion.………………………………………………………………………..Mayday - 29/04/2009[[I SAW GOD ON BOURKE STREET]]

The World:
- A construct created by mankind, close your eyes and join the blind.
Share portfolios pay dividends, an investment property, a mercedes benz.
Economic stimulus packs, interest rates and income tax,
ten news, first at five, tune in for all the facts.
Disguised as time, hours pass,
Cognac, Merlot, fill your glass.
It’s 9am at King and Bourke,
law school grads. are off to work.
Latte, Mocha, fill your cup,
a caffeine hit to wake you up.
Light filters through like a rising tide,
the eyes of my Heart are open wide.
In this moment God, Truth, Beauty and Art,
like an undercurrent, as the world falls apart.……………………………………………………………………..20/03/2009Mayday
THE RESIDUAL MEMORY
………………………………………….
Egodeath like nuclear war
wiping out the cities of the world
Visionary intensity is dripping through my mind
one couldn’t re-create, and the words I can’t find
The imagery playing out on the screen
was direct from the blood of this organic machine
Fear flooding in
as a billion tears fall
- and all familiarity is lost
like dust.
I woke from the dream on a blanket of stars.…………………………………………………………………………untitled (2009)……………………i want to hold you till we sleepi want to softly kiss your cheek
should the illusion remain intact

oh no my dear! what have you done?
i’m hooked again ..Will it be that You reel me in?
This is no fun
I’m drawn to You like a moth to flame ..
it’s torturous and i writhe in pain .
i wonder where you learnt
this game i know i oughta learn to play…
keep my head as you toy with me
then go right in for the kill
.. suffice to say he’s done me in
he’s quite a tease the boy named bill.……………………………………………………………………….17/07/2008“(learning to be a) master of control”
…………………………………………………………
a tangle of indestingushable emotion and desire
drives me to the edge with worry and fear
it makes me feel sick, uncertain and queer
hijacked some time in the unsettled ocean
of my heart soul and mind
elevates and illuminates like a full moonlit night
and dissipates so quickly - i just can’t unwind
As I seek to execute any consciouss objective,
or to simply feel comfortable in expressing myself,
I am constantly betrayed by my own neurochemistry and physiology.
- It can feel so unkind.
If I could stay in the drivers seat for some length of time
I could show You who I am … and I would like that.………………………………………………………………………..Where you are.. Mayday 04/10/2007………………………………………………….

BARRICADE - July 2005
You put up that barricade
and seem to hold yourself,
under lock, no key
When the locksmiths come around
You turn them all away
It seems to those,
who poke in their nose,
that you’ve almost lost the plot.
But if you use that barricade,
You stand to lose the lot.……………………………………………………………………….

…………………………………………..
Mellow is the mystery,
Chrystalline forms surround you.
Follow his lead you know,
This demon runs circles around you.
Anytime that you might seek,
Just never know whose mind will tweak,
To softer frequencies that drip,
Finding their way through the network.
Throwing stones, and stepping stones,
With a dark grey hue to the air,
When you finally recognise yourself,
Child, please do not dispair.
Hollow is your destiny,
These days, these days the astound you.
Seeing eyes through every pore,
Take a picture of that moment.
All that is through every door,
Was within, around you to start with.
Holding your hand throughout the dance,
Always a choice to thrive or not,
And though you may not know this now,
You’ll do quite well with the time you’ve got.
What will be in the scheme of things?,
We do not know, we never will.
The next step to take in any case?,
Only you will know, I’ll never tell.______________________________________________________________________________________________
