Connections
I alight....
Journey's end
Interconnections departed
Platforms now look deserted
Distant shunting echos
As clocks strike the late hour
Swirling steam
Gathers the night....
Across the tracks
Stands a lone figure
More a silhouette
Caught in shadow
Knowingly staring back
I'm taken
Other moons, beyond
For this it seems
Is like a movie scene
Reminding of an earlier dream
A starring role of emotion, passion
The 'if I met you' fills my mind
Footsteps awake me from these thoughts ...
Journey's end
Interconnections departed
Platforms now look deserted
Distant shunting echos
As clocks strike the late hour
Swirling steam
Gathers the night....
Across the tracks
Stands a lone figure
More a silhouette
Caught in shadow
Knowingly staring back
I'm taken
Other moons, beyond
For this it seems
Is like a movie scene
Reminding of an earlier dream
A starring role of emotion, passion
The 'if I met you' fills my mind
Footsteps awake me from these thoughts ...

New Song
After the sword and loss of blood death itself shall die
and the blossoming flower of resurrection shall rise
rivers of sorrow sweet dew become
the revelation of a new song to be sung
and the blossoming flower of resurrection shall rise
rivers of sorrow sweet dew become
the revelation of a new song to be sung

Finding our way back home
sunlight plays across the wings of a dragonfly,
shatters light in a thousands rays of laughter.
Mirth bubbles up from the well of my soul
With spirits set free,
I drift on the whispered breath of fate,
seeking the beating heart of faith,
finding our power
is belief in one another
I am in the trees,
I am sunlight,
playing tag across golden meadows.
I am the dragonfly scattering the...

Tangential travels; love's desolation
If I met you
on this journey
All aboard this train of thought
intertwining time
betwixt barren remoteness
explorers scouting out need
whistling discovery of remote landscapes
Across desolate plains
windswept valleys;
where jackals wander
and vultures glide their
searching glides
We'd travel through
sleeping towns
where at the dead end of the day
dust swirls
curling apricot twirls
Sparks sending scatter
from greased tracks
as...

Time
Time is precious.
We all have the same
amount of hours, minutes
and seconds in each day.
We can't buy more, nor
can you save it to spend
another day.
It heals, steals and flies.
It is due and convenient,
disgracefully long or
marvelously short.
The only empirical evidence
of time passing is change.
I can gaze into the distance
of an open field and watch
the leaves turning as cool
breezes blow, marking
the season's coming.
If I stood still for a gathered
amount of time, soft...

The Feather
A rickety, ramshackle abode
Broken windows, bats in the loft
Dusty old spiders webs
Hang like spectres
And an old, now silent grandfather clock
Where time had passed it by
The floorboards creaked
As mice scuttled along
Holes in the roof
Had let the elements in
Recent rainfall
At least
Had washed away
Some of the dust
Yet deep down
An old corridor
Where walls hung empty
A small glow of light
Leaked out
From beneath a door
And the faint sound
Of scratching could be heard
As an old quill...
Broken windows, bats in the loft
Dusty old spiders webs
Hang like spectres
And an old, now silent grandfather clock
Where time had passed it by
The floorboards creaked
As mice scuttled along
Holes in the roof
Had let the elements in
Recent rainfall
At least
Had washed away
Some of the dust
Yet deep down
An old corridor
Where walls hung empty
A small glow of light
Leaked out
From beneath a door
And the faint sound
Of scratching could be heard
As an old quill...

The Doors Remain Closed
When questioned
On the future
Of humanity
I simply cried
And spoke my own truth
What future?
Holes are dug
And then dug deeper
Then the deeper they are dug
The more humanity
Is fucked
So basically
Humanity
Has no future
As the powers that be
Are to fucking stupid
And focused on their bank balances
To face
The reality of this
As this reality
Falls
On deaf ears
And blinkered vision

Pirate Irish Twins
It was always just the two of us
Just you and me, pirates in our dreams
Co- Captains on anything resembling a ship
Eating stolen bread and sweets
Homeless and running around the castle of dreams
Feral brats who fought and cut the world right back
Older sister and little brother always
They'd gimace when calling us irish twins
Cause we're not even a year apart
There's a scar across my nose from your hand
You have a scar on your cheek from mine
I never thought I'd stand here today
Holding the pieces of my soul because of you
We're...
Just you and me, pirates in our dreams
Co- Captains on anything resembling a ship
Eating stolen bread and sweets
Homeless and running around the castle of dreams
Feral brats who fought and cut the world right back
Older sister and little brother always
They'd gimace when calling us irish twins
Cause we're not even a year apart
There's a scar across my nose from your hand
You have a scar on your cheek from mine
I never thought I'd stand here today
Holding the pieces of my soul because of you
We're...

To Be, Or Maybe Not
To Be, Or Maybe Not?
Although
Imay bleed
Poetry
It doesn't
Necessarily
Mean
That it' not
Shit!
But still
I often
Write shite
Or not
Is this a question?
It may be an answer
Ive been referred
I already have heart disease
And four stents
But my referral
Has a different sense
For the big C
Oh little me
My life lost
In poetry
I have no plans
For such
Skulldugery
