Moonlight Spill
The moon
has been busy
gorging on
summer’s sunshine;
her glutted belly bursts,
softly spilling
strings of silver light;
pools of pale reflection
gather gently
across the worn wood floor

Night moves
In darkness, we are
dim outlines,
surprise touches,
whispered poetry
sensing
reaching
savouring
responding
I imagine
you could be anyone
and therefore
so can I

Mood Swing Ep # 11: Off The Cuff...Straight To Print...Alcohol Induced
something new happened today
something brand new
it rained today...
and for the first time in my life
i was happy simply because it rained
not to be confused with glad
like'' glad it rained cuz it'll get rid of the snow''
no..no...no
something moved inside my chest
and is still moving cuz it's still raining
i can hear it beating its song
against the window pane [so cliche right?]
but tonight..it sounds like
the erratic beating of ancient drums...
hmmmm

rituals of goodnight
barely feeling the weight
thin, soft material
cool against clean supple skin,
covers just enough,
if needed
humming from above
sweet smelling air circulates
smallish breezes,
constructing the perfect climate
to address the night
soft, firm welcoming
sublimely supports idyllic comfort
chilled and tempting
goosebumps pebble in punctuations
a relaxing....s l o w ...exhale
escapes by languid whisper
darkness envelopes ...

Late night insight
Some say I'm incorrigible,
ill-disciplined, hypocritical
and a bad example.
Others call it
Revenge Bedtime Procrastination.
Whichever you believe, it's true;
I'm largely unable (or unwilling)
to go to bed.
When responsibilities of the day
and of work and family life
fall away;
when everyone is asleep
and the house is silent,
I reclaim my solitude
and find that
night time is a creative time.
Without distractions,
the words line up more pleasingly.
Without noise,
musical...
ill-disciplined, hypocritical
and a bad example.
Others call it
Revenge Bedtime Procrastination.
Whichever you believe, it's true;
I'm largely unable (or unwilling)
to go to bed.
When responsibilities of the day
and of work and family life
fall away;
when everyone is asleep
and the house is silent,
I reclaim my solitude
and find that
night time is a creative time.
Without distractions,
the words line up more pleasingly.
Without noise,
musical...

Aeronautics
I saw a crescent moon last night
Smiling upon a leafless tree
In silhouette by lunar light
And cloud division fleetingly...
Which could not help but catch my eye
With its cavalcade of vapor
Transfusing the autumnal sky
As an ink imbues laid paper...
And both pregnant now with fleeting thoughts
Emancipated by that golden beam
Ever inundating astronauts
In my space administration dream
Where pressure suits aren't worn as much
As the freshness in a zephyr's touch.
Smiling upon a leafless tree
In silhouette by lunar light
And cloud division fleetingly...
Which could not help but catch my eye
With its cavalcade of vapor
Transfusing the autumnal sky
As an ink imbues laid paper...
And both pregnant now with fleeting thoughts
Emancipated by that golden beam
Ever inundating astronauts
In my space administration dream
Where pressure suits aren't worn as much
As the freshness in a zephyr's touch.

starlight
starlight,
born
each night,
the shadows
reap
their harvest,
starlight,
shine on
unborn dreams,
ones
that will
please
the senses,
starlight,
gathered
in the arms
of waiting
angels,
starlight,
your
treasures
among
creation
born
in heaven.

RAVEN LIGHT
Raven light shone on the tide
He heard her voice inside the dream
Calling him across the waves
Over the dark and untamed sea
He left the bones shivering
Took the dead bus out alone
Under the crisp winter stars
Along deserted motor lanes
Shining black syrupy tar
By fields of deathly silent grain
Over the sullen sleeping hills
Into the nameless creeping towns
Where tired people forgot their names
Through the saddened melting snow
Shining crow light bright and black
Shone across the famished sea
Toward...
He heard her voice inside the dream
Calling him across the waves
Over the dark and untamed sea
He left the bones shivering
Took the dead bus out alone
Under the crisp winter stars
Along deserted motor lanes
Shining black syrupy tar
By fields of deathly silent grain
Over the sullen sleeping hills
Into the nameless creeping towns
Where tired people forgot their names
Through the saddened melting snow

Shone across the famished sea

Pursuit of a thread..
It was within the strength of a step
The laying of its laid tread
That we did head in the pursuit of a thread.
That we did head in the pursuit of a thread
Upon the blanket of a night and it's endless sight
Without a care of its toll upon our soul
Nor caring for the absence of light
Just the actions that felt right.
That by the course in which we did head
Led by the the leading of our thread
That we did find the presence of our mind
In the blanket of night, our fanciful flight from our endless fight
That we did step upon...
The laying of its laid tread
That we did head in the pursuit of a thread.
That we did head in the pursuit of a thread
Upon the blanket of a night and it's endless sight
Without a care of its toll upon our soul
Nor caring for the absence of light
Just the actions that felt right.
That by the course in which we did head
Led by the the leading of our thread
That we did find the presence of our mind
In the blanket of night, our fanciful flight from our endless fight
That we did step upon...

When the night birds sing
Think of me when the nocturnal birds sing
Life revolves ... in goodbye to the past
My imagination chased me on an endless road
Sacrificing the moon for the light of her eyes
Somewhere playing music and mystery
Ideas were flying on this cold night
I waited... at the door of the unknown night
Shadows wrapped in her raven hair
An inner voice asks.. why are you waiting
Dressed as a dark, black spirit with no future
She was running behind a potential lover
It leads me to dark unknown lands
Far from the light through the...
