to mod or not to mod
..is not the question:
i shuckled that responsibility
for a freer voice—
expression the greater goal
the pursuit of poetry
a wonderful lightness of being
:smiles:
moderation? meh
poets are worse than cats
—twice as messy
no point attempting to herd them
instead
provide boxes
to jump in and out of
shake the kibbles
they will come

Seafoam Dream
Seafoam Dream
Weightless in a seafoam dream
And I feel Ethereal
Donned in chiffon
As the symphony carries on
The sky is mine
If only for a time
Look at her shine
Look at her shine
Weightless in a seafoam dream
And I feel Ethereal
Donned in chiffon
As the symphony carries on
The sky is mine
If only for a time
Look at her shine
Look at her shine

When it Rains
I like it when it rains
because it washes my tracks away
and drowns my tortured soul
in droplets from the sky
the huntress comes in the dead of night
searching far and wide
for tiny footprints in the dust
for my blood curdling cry
one she loves to find
and when she catches me
I am raptured by a sinister smile
and her wicked mind
when it rains, I’m alive
an animal that dances with the storm
and doesn’t hide
until that persecuted hour
when the moon arrives
revealing her intentions
she’s the...

and when she catches me
I am raptured by a sinister smile
and her wicked mind

The Queen of the Damned is a Smokeshow
I almost ditched
A nice easy gig
For chains and snow drifts
Where all you feel is your chattering teeth
I was so bored
And then thought of you
A letter from the IRS
Whenever I’m cold
I think of you
I think of space
The black holes that were your eyes
And the gravity
The gravity
Cygnus X-1, the Swan
It was still
And tranquil
And so empty
Inside you
And
Not dead
Not alive
I laid there
Barely breathing
For a season
Persephone, Persephone
You’re a...

perhaps
when the sun scoops low to the wave
when the sauce
bubbles slowly in the pan
when words fall
or fail
depending on the quickbreath in my ear
—when something screams a chill right up your spine—
i'll look and find the hammer's in my hand
and how the last nail glimmers
rightly mine
when the sauce
bubbles slowly in the pan
when words fall
or fail
depending on the quickbreath in my ear
—when something screams a chill right up your spine—
i'll look and find the hammer's in my hand
and how the last nail glimmers

Loosing control
Suspended in between
dimensions never known
Falling into remission
diagnosis unknown.
Willing to surrender
to emotions overgrown
hiding in trenches
as the enemy implodes.
Begging for revelations
as the dust settles down
breathing in subtle parts
of what once was bedrock stone.
Screaming out my anger,
a useless sound of void.
Silence behind the lips
submission to this madness
bulleting between my ribs.
No amulet for protection
humiliation is my demise.
I accept no resurrection ...

Her Rehabilitation
Sadness is blue that puffs out
in bubbles of paint aerosol burst on the missing sky.
We road this plane to meet your emotion,
but the color phased through this hand.
The rumbling computer virus,
unplugged at the blackened circuit.
As the satellite can no longer catch us here,
we are stranded up on airs.
Step off that aeroplane.
Orange life suit spotted against the calm.
No. The airlock seal implodes
under the pressure of gliding whimpers,
society entangled in the heart of you, Ms. Bomber.
Not...

Government Issued Recovery
It’s easy enough to say to get a grip
but you don’t know what it’s like to slip
after three months or after six
of keeping up my act
when the world around me starts to collapse
and I know that I’m grown
and I know I have to control how I react
but it doesn’t make a difference from the front to the back
or if I’m at the bottom this
kinda thing is considered common
and as long as we follow the lawmen
we aren’t considered a problem till you look at statistics
and suddenly life doesn’t look so optimistic

Safety in Rockhollow
My life reset,
doors reopened,
wolves of my mind allowed out on the wild Moor
as soon as my feet touched Devon earth.
In the rain I wander through the garden,
more hedgehog than human,
digesting sights, scents, a spider making a silver web beneath the cherry tree.
I pour out water from barrows
and terracotta trays.
My child plays in the summerhouse
sounds of sopping sky bounce on the roof.
I charge my fingers into digging
tulip bulbs by Autumn grey,
cornflower seeds thrown on...
