nowhere...
there's so many directions to take
so many roads
yet
we choose to place footprints
over yesterday’s footprints

favourite season...
trees hanging bare
leaves strewn recklessly
scattered upon the mourning ground
at the mercy of the winds
fracturing their existence
I’m cold
showers and storms give way
to a gust of sunlight
fragrance of hope floats in
on morning breeze
and his warmth gently unfolds
upon the day
the light comes easy now
taking me to a place
beyond comprehension
enchanted by rustling whispers
irretrievable moments play across my lips
letting life in, abandoning the cold
stitched to horizons in...

just render me blind
afloat amid illusions
running my fingers between delusion and feeling
measuring the distance between then and now
of how we used to be
emptiness surrounds
blanketing shallow breaths
in passage of light and fading shade
breathing a rare moment of phantasmal freedom
insecurities bred in shadowless rain
create dim outlines
blurring the miles across
dawn to dusk
sifting through the tasteless ashes
laid upon wastelands of nothingness
I baulk at the incompletion
isn’t this supposed to be where existence...

Colours diffuse in the blur of night
Fading light ushers
knotted darkness of belief,
over fallow hope
where senseless dreams were sowed.
In the absence of sun
unbudded footprints placed
remain only as the past, where
your colours once painted their blooms.
Night inhales daylight
murkiness which appears it will never end,
breathing fears
through every hollow crevice.
Under crowded nimbuses,
learning to forth with gathered seeds -
escape from experience tainted by loneliness
and flower...
knotted darkness of belief,
over fallow hope
where senseless dreams were sowed.
In the absence of sun
unbudded footprints placed
remain only as the past, where

Night inhales daylight

breathing fears

Under crowded nimbuses,
learning to forth with gathered seeds -

if I am but a memory that fades
I want you to realise
only this.
As I walk
across pink fescues and red saccharum
parted by paths rich with rain,
as I catch
each drop that wets the lands,
falling gently through sepia tones
scenting
cedar into my bones,
as though
all beauteous aspects in simplicity, simply
everywhere I go
in everything that I know
you exist.
Now, if I
piece by piece
should be swept as particle of air
then all that will be is dust.
If...
only this.

some things are better uncompromising
his limbs
flow without measure
as he slaughters more
than that within routine
muscles tear
as cracks in the tapestry
swallow drops of sweat
like mere threads that fray
yet his touch falls
unadulterated
over each line and curve
and pages of mind begin to tear
our bones collide in darkness
where naked swaths of flesh
spell out aphonic promises
carried by nothing but his breath
a backdrop of battle and darkness
of isolation and brutality
drowned

touching silence
your fingers trail
through uninhabited places
where
wet words emanate
nourishing yourself into battle
painting me into more than art
feelings overtake thinking
exuding an energy which speaks fluently
hands run over the spread of your shoulders
the muscles of your stomach tighten
as I gently read every piece of flesh
making up the cover of you
my moans caught and held
deep, as you place
your brokenness against mine
weight pressing hard
I lie curved into you
listening ...
through uninhabited places
where
wet words emanate
nourishing yourself into battle
painting me into more than art
feelings overtake thinking
exuding an energy which speaks fluently
hands run over the spread of your shoulders
the muscles of your stomach tighten
as I gently read every piece of flesh
making up the cover of you
my moans caught and held
deep, as you place
your brokenness against mine
weight pressing hard
I lie curved into you

flowers don’t bloom below freezing anyway
you lined my being
with the purest of sands
served a start of forever
in the brine of your skin
I lay my fears behind
pushed my feelings over the dunes
of a thousand shores
drew my heart closer to yours
but bitter winds strip
and stifle everlasting visions
dreams come slow
blur fast
crash after crash it repeats
breaking over and again
without remorse
overly familiar
it takes time to realise
not everything visible
can truly be obtained
it just takes time…
with the purest of sands
served a start of forever
in the brine of your skin
I lay my fears behind
pushed my feelings over the dunes
of a thousand shores
drew my heart closer to yours
but bitter winds strip

blur fast
crash after crash it repeats

flayed beneath you
I have tried
to pick it all apart
tried to understand how
you draw my mouth
to your own
you’ve grazed
gently across the silk
of naked skin
burning your scent
against white perfumed petals
spreading them gently
across the body I used to call my own
shaping straight lines effortlessly
outlining more than the
uncertainty that aflickers
against all the entrances and exits
that catch my gaze
I have tried to
piece it all together
figure out how I can hold on
to...
to pick it all apart
tried to understand how
you draw my mouth
to your own
you’ve grazed
gently across the silk
of naked skin
burning your scent
against white perfumed petals
spreading them gently
across the body I used to call my own
shaping straight lines effortlessly
outlining more than the
uncertainty that aflickers
against all the entrances and exits

the skies remember
05:52
awoken, not sure if I’ve yet been asleep
vibrations of moving clouds
sweeping
across battle-scarred skies above
the disturbance reflects
the blood I bleed
perfectly
permanently
11:00
two slender minutes
dedicated
to each who have given
corpulent amounts
of more than flesh
for those who never
crawled out of the trench one last time
and for those who never truly will
it doesn’t feel enough
timeless
I remember our last goodbye ...

tangled thoughts
I find myself conforming
featureless
through the crowds
a little more dead
within
every breath
hesitation lingers till I’m
unreasonable
blame
placed neatly, with him
them
surrounded by their disillusioned version
of reality
reflections change as ashes
fall; interrupted
into unaligned
and unfinished thoughts
where the deceit of permanency
its supposed duration on
continuity
penetrates, into counting
more than mere misunderstandings
I begin to...
