Fractions pass by
too easily
unnoticed by the mind
as time
flies, moves freely.
They gather
to equations
too massive
to mentally breakdown
the latter
becomes what's current now
you've lost all track
but don't know how
head buried six feet under
the proverbial sand
correspondence
delivered
but untouched
by a hand
D Day becomes a given
you face the wall
where it is written
ten years it took to hit me
but I got up
and still I stand .

Impeccable
professional
relatable
insatiable
all depictions
are so paintable
on the surface
ugly's beautiful
and two faced
is half dutiful .
Understanding
and empathetic
selfless and loving
anti dramatic
such self portrayals
hide narcissistic
you have no failings
if you're sociopathic .

One More Flight
Like two planets
cascading, directionless
no relative time
but we're olden
love finds, the young in us
new stars are made
from your souls
cosmic ,smashed up dust
your life, my accolade
elliptically framed
by the energy trailed
satellite
Subliminal...
I sit and sigh
over the years now gone
I say I'm fine
but it's a lie
I think my mind has gone.

Mechanically Infected
If you hit
what you should
be missing
then your blood
it gets sniffed
by big fishes
parting rainbows
and clinging to clouds
you're deemed unstable
wearing the Turin shroud .
Devoured in vaporised breath
existential until a viral
untimely death
chimes that speak time
threaten a collapse,perhaps
through soul rhythms flat
they have elapsed ?
analogue then digital
to invisible,sick signals
an increased numerical
that precedes a G
may not mean a measurement
of...

Trick Tock
We perambulate
straight into the grave
we search for fate
to find the correct way
the early bird's
now late
he waits in yesterday
as the Hawk frustrates
about missing his gone prey .
Eyes can be vocal
they speak behind the gaze
expressional , emotion
a lifetime in a day
I look back
though it's over
like each second is to date
each tomorrow gets older
in a forecast
that passed
away.

Revelations
Today the sky
moved a little closer
I can see through all
three eyes
like I'm supposed to.
My revelations
met by accusations
by hiding in plain sight
gas lights
lit the guilt
away some.
Fabrication
a selfish tune
by orchestration
each stave so untrue
a conduction
between wrong wavelengths .
The truth
was simply
knocking at the door
it was you
accusing me
of what you
were guilty for .

Out Numbered
Roman numerals
flash
in the violet sky
a giant hand tocks
every notch
across spent time
each cradle that rocked
has now stopped
against the scythe
sinue on bone rots
blood pool clots
through a deceased mind.
Iron railings
all rusted
and wrought
drag across the ground
tired wailing
guttural , gutted
throat repulsive
snags an undead
sound.
Maxilla detach
as teeth gnash
to a lipless gape
maggots unlatch
hatching fast
to a buzzing...

Are We Already Dead
When I close my eyes
will the light go out
all of every seconds surprise
along with assumptions doubt
my memories gone
my dreams
back to where I came from
when I go
is it back to a place to belong
I don't know.
Sometimes dreams
are like time machines
they can carry you back
like music it seems .
I traveled to a church
in a long gone september
that dimension
kind of hurts
as only I can remember
if this life is a bubble
mine burst
just like the creditor ...
will the light go out

Once The Alchemist
It's on tap
but it doesn't flow
with the odd zap
all things new are old
so watch your back
as the carpet unfolds
with a finger snap , hand clap
all chatted crap
is back down your throat .
You were once the alchemist
but I have your gold
You didn't stick by this
the product that you sold
instead you act like it's
an honour , to take it home
you'll die a lonely witch
wizened and all alone .
I searched for answers
in your starless galaxies
I returned a frozen mass...

Wavelength
What is this
place
each other
a temporary face
I wonder
about a binary veil
we're thunder
a shock wave that fades .
Existestential
energy
exits this
wavelength
what will be
has been and is now
what's mandatory
is abnormal somehow.
Ancient sounds
emit
from the Indian sitar
a violin
slowly howls
recollections from afar
atomic particles ring
vibrations of a star
monastic voices that sing
time is not so linear.

Lifetime students
Poetry should
belong to those
who understand it
you should never chop wood
if your hand on the axe
cannot grasp it
centrifugal force alone
may keep the eggs in the basket
but if you're swinging them high
and your mind's blown
it may be time to stop
and start asking .
Poetry cannot be
taught
it's a natural skill
that comes from within
there's many meanings
a lot to be deciphered
you can't say you've pinned it
and this is the wrong
or right one
there is no trick ...

Sidewinder
Do you ever see
planets colliding
in explosive energy
leaving images
so slightly
behind lit up, skeletal
trees
I do
it's a reminder
of what we could've been
life is like a sidewinder
it strikes when you don't see.
Many years have passed
but in my dreams
it's ever to last
every night it seems
echoes of the blast
run in cacophonies
your image burns the cast
in all depictions of me.
What am I
what have I become
two blind eyes
that march
to...
