night sky
I'm watching the sun go down and turn in to the night sky
Watching it go from orange to yellow to tanish to dark brown
and finally into dark blue i can't help but wonder who paints the night sky
I also wonder who puts all the starts in the sky so bright and wonderful or
Are they different stories being told by one one that have gone on before us or
Are they just up there to remind us that even though we all go through a dark spot
In life there will alway be a light that shines for us to show us the way home.
I don't know its a puzzling question that...

Trapped!
It’s just turned seven on Sunday evening, and it’s raining outside and bitterly cold. Your eyes keep shutting, despite your efforts to keep them open. You let the empty mug slide from your hand, landing on the floor with a clank, and you lie back on the sofa, ignoring the police helicopter that has begun to circle the neighbourhood again.
You drift off. Happier times. The perfect childhood you had. You dream that you’re on a camping holiday in the Yorkshire Dales. You relive the smell of the sun and grass. The scent of the sheep. The sausages that sizzled on the camp stove while...

that strange thing ©
it is that strange thing
that crawls and streams
into common and uncommon
beings and things
circulating in atmospheric feelings
on projected life screens
in-between the betweens -
that live in the core of souls and minds
entwined in ritual scenes not always divine
cloistered in colloquialisms gentrified spleens
full of cosmic meanings dividing and intruding
superseding normal eccentricities spirit beings
singing and chanting ringing bells and dancing
kindly weird and rustically dignified being
things...

Watched By A Stranger
She poured a glass of wine and went out to the garden with a magazine, trying to read but struggling to concentrate in the mid July heat.
After a while, she abandoned the magazine and stretched out on the grass, listening to the dull thud of the sea below, her eyelids heavy from the air and the repetitive rhythm of the water.
She found herself drifting, lost in a blur of tall grassy banks and sandy pathways with railings at the bottom.
Suddenly, she came to, cold all over.
She heard a sound. Someone was standing by the far tree at the garden fence,...

wind through the citadel ©
A telltale sign is blown my way-
upon the wind of a memory string
that started to stray
walking on cottonwood leafed feet
carefully scattered among Acorn seeds
August starts to slowly grieve
For loss of her days-like whining children
passing away-in heated greed of need
they beg her to stay
Undulating green sails float, and sway
waving along, and away
in heated heavy hours of the day
the coven of Ravens have their say-
screeching-cackling as I walk their way -
Boldly they track me-carefully...

SINCE THE BEGINNING
Here I stand looking at the mirror at my own outer reflection, as I can see the true years of my vessel this, inescapable body that has been with me since the beginning of my birth, covered by skin and flesh line with bones. Yet as I stare at the image of thyself, and reflect on the many journeys and travels and walks, through this amazing cycle of changes that is called life. I regret nothing of my journey for it is through, those travels I learn many things about thyself as I walk even through the Valley of Death. For the shadows were never far away from me, as they sometimes creep within...

Ocean...
Rippling seas.
An ocean in us both.
How deep are you willing to go.
Abyssal.
What's hidden where light has failed to touch.
Secrets your heart is keeping.
Guide me and reveal what you're dying to display.
I'm sinking much deeper.
There's no turning back now.
What am I to expect.
Below the surface where the light dare not stray.
A nocturnal haven within a place of eternal night.
The fear of the unknown is no priority of mine.
Show me.
Please show me the way.
I can't last much longer here. ...

Eyes
I search for some relic
In her fickle colours
But all i see is her future
Some distant death cry
Of an unsuspecting fox
Its fur destined for vanity
A barren landscape
the decadence of charred oaks
With some only left to dream of flowers
On the moon.
In her fickle colours
But all i see is her future
Some distant death cry
Of an unsuspecting fox
Its fur destined for vanity
A barren landscape
the decadence of charred oaks
With some only left to dream of flowers

Mistaken for Spring
( a non-rhyming Quatern )
She isn’t just a scent upon the breeze,
To birds that find a branch to perch the night
That hides the fruit they covet as they taste,
To cats upon the fence before they spar.
Mistaken for the wet of dewy rose;
She isn’t just a scent upon the breeze.
Is feeling yesterday of stone & earth,
As fog that slowly creeps in from the sea.
Who makes a man to quiver in his bed
Before he’s had the time to fall asleep.
She isn’t just a scent upon the breeze,
Nor raindrops sliding down a window...
She isn’t just a scent upon the breeze,
To birds that find a branch to perch the night
That hides the fruit they covet as they taste,
To cats upon the fence before they spar.
Mistaken for the wet of dewy rose;
She isn’t just a scent upon the breeze.
Is feeling yesterday of stone & earth,
As fog that slowly creeps in from the sea.
Who makes a man to quiver in his bed
Before he’s had the time to fall asleep.
She isn’t just a scent upon the breeze,
Nor raindrops sliding down a window...

The Cliff
The sea wind blows against her face as she makes her way down the cliff path.
She walks slowly, holding onto the railing by the drop, wondering if she ought to abandon her journey to the capital before she slips and falls.
But she continues, ignoring the rising disquiet urging her to turn back.
She walks slowly, holding onto the railing by the drop, wondering if she ought to abandon her journey to the capital before she slips and falls.

I cant relax cant feel at ease
A constant commotion’s disturbing the peace
The paper trail leads to my door
I don’t think I can walk it no more
I and I born
into the belly of the system
And worn
by the menace of the system
I conform
just to navigate the system
With all these cults of one
Why bother keep the youth naïve?
Reality strips away all they believe
Confusion reigns in Babylon ...

Short Circuit
A perceived perfection
gives no reflection.
Make a fucking mistake already.
Man or machine?
Who cares,
the whole mystery
bores me.
Stab him, maybe he'll bleed,
maybe I should just leave.
