SPIRITUAL POEM

Should I Meet You Along The Way
On the cusp of a crisp morning
Who will deliver me from this body of death?
I kneel in patient longing
Eyes rolled back in ecstasy
Would you lose yourself in me too?
A moment of brevity
A long shadow has fallen
How many houses hide on that red hill?
My bright nothing forgotten
Who will deliver me from this body of death?
I kneel in patient longing
Eyes rolled back in ecstasy
Would you lose yourself in me too?
A moment of brevity
A long shadow has fallen
How many houses hide on that red hill?
My bright nothing forgotten

Dreamland Duo
In this dream we were in a meadow of some sort, sunny day, warm breeze making the grass sway, eating blackberries from a wicker basket lined with kitchen roll and watching the sky. In cinema against the clouds the following text scrolled, sans title.
Blackberries
When I lie with you, soft in this world
I exist in every moment, each is the last
A breath clinging, at event horizon lips
The hourglass shattered, beneath a gaze

Datura
Jimsonweed or Devil's Snare
For forty eight hours you won't care
Have a chat with sky deities
As your heart tries to keep beating
While your mind dips and betrays
To your knees you'll start to pray
Potato friend and pretty made
A sounding trumpet for nightshade
For forty eight hours you won't care
Have a chat with sky deities
As your heart tries to keep beating
While your mind dips and betrays
To your knees you'll start to pray
Potato friend and pretty made
A sounding trumpet for nightshade

Infinity Ignited
A sea of waves:
Of painted faces ·
--Grey
Washed away.
These endless afternoons:
Shores of Abaddon ·
--Blaze
All these days.

I wish, I wish
ønsker meg at du kan kle på seg selv
Og søvne i egen seng
Æ ønsker meg at du kan forstår
Kor høylytt du er når du sing
Æ vil at du vil spise mat
Ikke bare snacks og sånne ting
Æ ønsker meg at du kan fortelle
Korfor du er lei deg og gråting
For det meste
Æ ønsker meg at livet ditt bli enkelt
En cake walk med masse icing
Med smiler, venner og kos
Og hele veien løping
Og søvne i egen seng
Æ ønsker meg at du kan forstår
Kor høylytt du er når du sing
Æ vil at du vil spise mat
Ikke bare snacks og sånne ting
Æ ønsker meg at du kan fortelle
Korfor du er lei deg og gråting
For det meste
Æ ønsker meg at livet ditt bli enkelt
En cake walk med masse icing
Med smiler, venner og kos
Og hele veien løping

Hello Mushroom
Upon the forest floor
Amongst the leaves of fall
Butter yellow in their prime
Tasty chanterelle
A symbiosis of nature
Not you without your tree
I pluck you up to my basket
Now you belong to me
Further steps into the woods
Reveal another sneaky
Growing in a little bundle
Penny bun porcini
Oh you fetch a pretty pence
But it's not meant to be
For I've all the ingredients now
To make a tasty dish
A wee rest on a log
After all this hiking ...
Amongst the leaves of fall
Butter yellow in their prime
Tasty chanterelle
A symbiosis of nature
Not you without your tree
I pluck you up to my basket
Now you belong to me
Further steps into the woods
Reveal another sneaky
Growing in a little bundle
Penny bun porcini
Oh you fetch a pretty pence
But it's not meant to be
For I've all the ingredients now
To make a tasty dish
A wee rest on a log
After all this hiking ...

Zoned For Blankets
Dandelion wine and bluebell blankets
These spring days, man I'll take it
Sun peaking through the canopy
Clouds windswept, doing alchemy
Daisy chains adorning hair
Life's warm, got no cares
A soft breeze tickles at my nose
As I lay back and begin to doze
These spring days, man I'll take it
Sun peaking through the canopy
Clouds windswept, doing alchemy
Daisy chains adorning hair
Life's warm, got no cares
A soft breeze tickles at my nose
As I lay back and begin to doze

Red Dead Bubble Bath
Lightly rocking, gently floating
Hair a tangle, body bloating
Fingertips like crinkle cut
Life expired, given up
Water blushing, drain slushing
Floor flooded, veins gushing
Skin slouching from frame
Lights out for what's her name
No more laughs, no more paths
No more bubbly scented baths
Eyes half open, no one home
No more songs, only foam
Hair a tangle, body bloating
Fingertips like crinkle cut
Life expired, given up
Water blushing, drain slushing
Floor flooded, veins gushing
Skin slouching from frame
Lights out for what's her name
No more laughs, no more paths
No more bubbly scented baths
Eyes half open, no one home
No more songs, only foam

The Poet's Box
Once upon a still night soaring
A fizzling fuzzing sound came roaring Energized in merely seconds
An oaken chest from the heavens
Buffer checks and scans come clear
It's safe enough for us to near
What could possibly be inside
Curiously up the lid they pried
Placed in tattered and torn cotton
A single book left forgotten
Thick with pages and spindly script
Stories we're not meant to forget
An illustration in dim blues
Graced the page with terrible news
When folk would travel across seas

Insomnia Insights
Benadozey drowsy and dead
Pink and white magic in my head
It's done the trick since I was twelve
Until the next day when I feel like hell
Trazodone you strange wee tablet
I bet your middle name is habit
Worked at first with side effects moderate
But damn you build up fast a tolerance
Ambien you're a nasty little one
Take one, forget, then there's none
Shadows from the hallway closing in
I probably should have died that weekend
Mirtazapine or Remeron oh you're the best
I certainly like you more than the rest ...
