weep, dark cloud, your tears
every hill and river spate
my heart swims in pain

trapescape
the devil had
a trap-set
for me
i lost my soul
to the frenzy
of the a cappella band
whose rhythms consumed
my primordial reason
songs without words
flew me on silent wings
where Mendelssohn
had never
learnt to sing
cacophony
gave birth to aphony
and sax and sex
stood vexed
in lust’s annex
i played his game
he played my melody
i jammed with him
in perfect harmony
but when i
hit ground bass ...
a trap-set
for me
i lost my soul
to the frenzy
of the a cappella band
whose rhythms consumed
my primordial reason
songs without words
flew me on silent wings
where Mendelssohn
had never
learnt to sing

gave birth to aphony
and sax and sex
stood vexed
in lust’s annex

ortun
i come to drink life lessons
not potions of impotence
but portions of eloquence
i come to count my blessings
not blunders of dark conscience
but plunders of recompense
i stay to pick red roses
my wanderlust now pauses
i ponder just fair causes
i stay till prescience closes
then find the nearest window
and bind me with the windflow
i go for greener pasture
to savour my abundance
engraver of new substance
i go for keener capture
you cry because i’m leaving
goodbye, my soul...
not potions of impotence
but portions of eloquence
i come to count my blessings
not blunders of dark conscience
but plunders of recompense
i stay to pick red roses
my wanderlust now pauses
i ponder just fair causes
i stay till prescience closes
then find the nearest window
and bind me with the windflow
i go for greener pasture
to savour my abundance
engraver of new substance
i go for keener capture
you cry because i’m leaving
goodbye, my soul...

(excerpt)
e’en at her fingertips
sharp wit remains
long liberated from
wild thimble days
for there’s no stitch they do
not know by name
no prick they’ve not
already nursed ablaze
her gentle touch
like heaven’s earthly balm
has cured my dented knees
and bleeding toes
her healing oils and herbs
and eyes so calm
have vivified my life
from stark repose
100 years such smiles
can never kill
that paint fresh radiance
on her kind, sweet lips
lips that know every word

bittersweet
How sweet are Your words to my taste,
sweeter than honey to my mouth!" (Psalm 119:103)
her labour
starts at sunrise
wings waggle dancing to the mountainside
secrets to
sip from flowers
content to bloom to keep her satisfied
she swallows
from the fountain
reserving naught for her own appetite
for duty
rests upon her
back to the royal stock to haste her flight
she toils till
mercy sunset
cool shadows drape across her fettered breast ...
sweeter than honey to my mouth!" (Psalm 119:103)

seedsong
the seed that dies
where still it lies
shall one day rise
to kiss blue skies.
the wilderness
with eagerness
its own trees bless,
that cleave its breasts.
the river bends
whither he trends
but comprehends
not to what ends
his feet shall dance,
by fate or chance.
yet, at a glance,
his sure advance
seems to the sea
without one plea:
‘tis destiny
that cries not cree!
o love that weeps
while kindness sleeps,
dance forth...
where still it lies
shall one day rise
to kiss blue skies.
the wilderness
with eagerness
its own trees bless,
that cleave its breasts.
the river bends
whither he trends
but comprehends
not to what ends
his feet shall dance,
by fate or chance.
yet, at a glance,
his sure advance
seems to the sea
without one plea:
‘tis destiny
that cries not cree!
o love that weeps
while kindness sleeps,
dance forth...
