Septimus not-so-Prime _edit_
On the 1st July every year, I like to tell a story.
It was a wet and windy weekend in no particular month, when a man named Septimus, died. He was a poor and lonely man, destitute and an alcoholic. Nobody noticed, or even mourned his passing. In fact, he was pretty well just shovelled off the road and taken off to the mortuary.
He was difficult to recognise and he had no form of identification on him. He was a nobody to the Police, who were following up the details. They had no leads to pursue as to his identity either. He would be forgotten forever.
But in his youth and late teenage years, he was a very bright individual. An A grade

A poem is but a simple thing,
life itself suffocates its soul
and all the words fall off

gleeful disdain
It's a real pain
Being in the fame game.
Nouns walk into bars.
Verbs come in jars.

Indeed, but a simple poem

It's a wonder I'm alive.
Scars betray my inner wisdom
Outer space, out of date.
Living is apparently a fun task
although laughing is better.
So what's my plan?
I have no idea...
I think and think and think
nothing really comes to mind
Scarred, strained, pained.
Wake up!
No!
Make a name for yourself,
you deserve the accolades,
but why, I don't feel I do?
Shout, shout, make a noise.
Those who are noticed, get places.
A fine philosophy maybe...
it's not for me. A maniac.
A cad.
A clinically depressed fact.
Am I well?
Am I swell?
Am I to dwell

Possibly.

No idea...

Bob's curious about security
My heart has broken all the rules
By sitting on a wall with fools,
Who don't know wrong
From wrong
Right?
Wrong!
But still it sits on that wall,
whether with fools, or pilchards.
It matters not. No.
Wait!
What?
Wait!
Why?
Nevermind.
Rules are meant to be broken.
As is this poem, as it meanders,
unaware of it's limpett like ways
into Bobscurity...

He's still more intelligent than you.
So there!
He's a creationist you know.

Yes, he made that.

When will the world realise in the whole truth?
People need to start to try hard to believe,
That Common men are trying to deceive,
Oh, believe thy words, including the youth.
Blind Fury maketh the common men a spoof,
Ever presents, they nought shall ever leave,
Using their elitist ways, with no reprieve,
Being bad liars and cheats, all so uncouth.
Then they shall come, starting the apocalypse,
The day of judgement is nigh, beyond all,
Common men can only stop abomination,
The world shall end on a solar Eclipse,
Forever gone, every one will likely fall,
The dawn of ages past; no more tension.

On concerns for a friend...
Oh! My sweet darling of my life be here,
You have not learn'd your lesson about my life,
Indeed you have not realis'd of my strife,
About my apparent distress and fear,
You may look at my face of strife and sneer,
But I know you care for me, a lowlife,
I also know that you will never be my wife,
All I want to do is shed a small tear.
I have decided to give up on you, sorry,
It is nothing you have done, believe me,
I just have issues with a certain individual,
Everything it seems, is feeling somewhat blurry,
If only you were aware and were able to see,
That I now feel somewhat lost and unusual.

Literature
A poetical treatise to life
The love of life keeps me going each day.
My thought processes lead me on my way.
Tomorrow will bring a new proceeding.
The past is gone, there is no redeeming.
Gone are the days of times, good and bad.
The future will bring times, happy and sad.
Love will come and it will also go.
Many new friends I will get to know.
Others will be lost or will be gone.
But what matters, is that my life will go on.

EMOtionally distant
There I am, sat on my chair, wondering.
Wishing for a miracle of coincidences.
In front of me is my computer, buzzing.
Then there is me, still on the chair.
In my world: cold, hungry and lonesome.
I stare, aimlessly, at nothing inparticular.
Wanting to do nothing, feeling isolated.
Who am I?
Defiantly wanting to be cured. Normality.
Scared, defensive, wicked to an extent.
Satisfied at doing nothing.
I'm a failure, depressed failure.
Brain dead, no thoughts in my mind.
I continue to stare.
I struggle to live.
I struggle to love.
I struggle to breathe.
Death. Turn out the lights please.
Silence, calmness
There sits a Robin, on the branch of a tree,
looking at the world, rather contentedly.
Below, is sat a man, contemplating life,
head in his hands and holding a knife.
Off flys the robin, chirping and cheeping,
over the fence, twisting and sweeping.
The man looks up and sighs, then groans,
"Sticks and stones, may break your bones..."
The robin appears again, with some food,
a tasty worm, succulent, delicious and good.
"but words will never hurt you, yeah right",
said the man, loudly and with no foresight.
Startled, the robin flew off, frightened,
but returned again, feeling enligtened.
The man noticed the Robin's actions,

I'm sure every line started in my head,
Gracing towards the landslide claimed beautiful:
Meaningless land.
Analytical purpose of kinetic motion,
Handwriting, shrunken, lies on the rivers edge.
Read these things and tell me they are not owned.
I know now.
My shadow treads in debt,
Cast away like my first forgotton memory.
What is left of my childhood lies in a yard of wished grass.
I can only hope fortune is not gifted through bloodline,
Pounding effervescence into tables of slate,
Our fate etchings sensed a time of hopefulness.
We were not the ones to acquire such urgency and now...
This capsule prevails.

The light from a computer screen is almost blinding. You have to turn away and when you look to the side you see that brilliant light as the shadow of any other object that might actually matter. I am sure I won't remember this when I am forty. I am not writing because I want you to understand, I am writing so I can see my own thoughts. This is not a journal entry; this is not a poem. This is I. And only when I have to say the latter aloud I build up this fantasy where I am in a valley sort of "the sound of music" picturesque and on top of this hill is nothing but mirror's. Lying on the ground leading down to my feet and they start falling av

Writing tales of light

scribbling out details of dreams
wandering aimlessly, out of sight
God, can't give me the strength to fight this
flashing luminescent signs
this is complicated
falling through my fingers
as if this wasn't my life
Blood spilling on the floor
death peers over the sunset
Draining with irony
my hands are cold
longing to feel the warmth of release
i remember " these myths can be come no more mine
than what you thought yours"
longing to fall within you
watching your eyes looking into mine
i caressed this suggestion
"that fate will always be
It doesn't matter if I live... or die...
Why?
I... fall into the maelstrom,
thunder cracking on my back
down to earth I (may) fall, but
the (may) fly, flies itself to sleep,
making my time with him a calamity.
Of course, time dissuades me,
from ever being what I want to be.
The (may) fly isn't a (may) bee,
time forces him into many mannerisms,
a ponderer, a wanderer, an organiser -
of the Anti-Anteater Association.
But at least he tries...
Unlike me.
I used to be a positive soul,
waiting out time for miracles,
but the materials required?
Well they were out of Stock,
Aitken and Waterman songs.
I should be so lucky...

"FLIES
As I opened the back door,
two flies were copulating on the cooker:
I found this very significant.
Late at night, my hand groped
for the aerosol.
They stayed together for the first
few seconds, wings scorched in the sudden fire,
minds disintegrating in the deadly mist.
Quite suddenly, the male tore himself away
from his penis
and dropped to the floor.
She remained, rolling around on the white enamel
and then fell through a crack into the oven.
Perhaps she had been a virgin
and thought this wa
