Vermin
I sit in silence
quiet as a church mouse
while inside my head (mind)
other rodents run amok
noisily gnawing at my sanity
swallowing all but my vanity.
Today,unlike others,for some unknown reason
even the noisy ones bring some peace.
They are just doing what rodents do
nothing more,nothing less.
They deserve a smile and some love.
They take both and leave,
just needed someone to love them.
We all do.

Check The Bishops Mate!
An arch bishop of Canterbury,
did not tell
Of John Smyth, who came from
some place in hell
Who regularly abused
young boys
Yet Justin Welby
made the choice
Of withholding evidence,
which deserves time in jail!

A home always with me
I realized this evening
That wherever I will live
Wherever I will go
Whatever I will do
I have a home always with me
This home is my body
And when I just sit and let thoughts and feelings come and go
Then increasingly I feel at home inside myself
In the physical feelings
And the very fulfilling practice of doing nothing at all
They say all of the problems of man
Come from him or her not being able to be
Alone in a room with his thoughts for 30 minutes
But consequently
If you train yourself to...
That wherever I will live
Wherever I will go
Whatever I will do
I have a home always with me
This home is my body
And when I just sit and let thoughts and feelings come and go
Then increasingly I feel at home inside myself
In the physical feelings
And the very fulfilling practice of doing nothing at all
They say all of the problems of man
Come from him or her not being able to be
Alone in a room with his thoughts for 30 minutes

Double-edged
Stumble upon
Every word
Breathe and let it
Take over
Ramble down
The list
You kept it in
For far too long
It hurts more
When it bleeds less
Urking enough
You scream in whispers
I died for you
I lied for you
I cried for you
I would have killed
For you
Every sorry
Every mistake
Every attempt
To keep you at bay
Every excuse
Every lie
Every reason
Everything they say
Is exactly what brought you here!
I died for you
I lied...
Every word
Breathe and let it
Take over
Ramble down
The list
You kept it in
For far too long
It hurts more
When it bleeds less
Urking enough
You scream in whispers
I died for you
I lied for you
I cried for you
I would have killed
For you
Every sorry
Every mistake
Every attempt
To keep you at bay
Every excuse
Every lie
Every reason

Unknown
Have you ever wondered
What it would be like
If you weren’t even born
You would not even be
A dot scribbled anywhere
Or a number on anyone’s phone
Or remembered by those
Who love you or hate you
Or a name chiseled on a stone
Would they even stop
To tell you they miss you
Or is it the loss they morn
If you were a shadow
Cast on a silver wall
Or pain from a thorn
Would it make a difference
When in the end we are all
Born to live in the unknown
You can...

Unnamed*
Follow you through the gaps in blinds
They dislike me for being too little alike
I'd like to see you dangle, limbs mangle
From the ropes I created more easy to handle
Wrap you in silk like porcelain
Bugs will come no need to force them in
They dislike me for being too little alike
I'd like to see you dangle, limbs mangle
From the ropes I created more easy to handle
Wrap you in silk like porcelain
Bugs will come no need to force them in

Quarters
The tik-tok of your grandmother’s clock
The quiet silence of the living’s room
On a sunny morning
The rooster never crows too soon
The slow retreat of angry tides
Glistening sands and butterflies
The path leading to the ocean awaits
Whilst cliff stones
Hold their place
The quiet silence of the living’s room
On a sunny morning
The rooster never crows too soon
The slow retreat of angry tides
Glistening sands and butterflies
The path leading to the ocean awaits
Whilst cliff stones
Hold their place

Just Because
just because I feel so blue
when I get a headache and sneeze
doesn't mean I will infect you
by blowing bubbles in a kiss
just because I have the flu
staying in bed under the blankets
doesn't mean I will drink the brew
that keeps me awake to fidget
just because I look unkempt
smelling like yesterday's tea
it doesn't mean I didn't attempt
to make myself a little pretty
just because I am a good listener
and answer you with polite laughter
it doesn't mean I don't want you
to listen to me too
...

Just Visiting
Let’s turn the lights off, dance like lovers,
we have no eyes, but they who watch
showing us how to touch.
Conjuring us with candles and chants, how silly
they sit and look, so serious while we are just
visiting.
Why are we not wanted when this is our life, our feet
touching the surface?
Let us be your voyeurs to the living. Our
time to walk among the flesh, not wanting
to say our goodbyes, and yet some go mad
waiting in between.

Dealing Tarot
Through the haunts of nature
the moon whispers silently
creeping between cracks
listening to the Tarot
in seance with autumn's call
as emotions linger
shadows become porcelain

The Sound of Silence
It is a lost echo
a wandering ghost
an empty room in a Victorian house
It is dust piled on unopened books
a writer’s empty page
a slow winter snowfall
It is incense burning
warm sunshine upon dozing cats
the steady growth of a plant
It is that pause between breaths
an unvisited gravestone
a still woodland pond
It is the artist’s inner concentration
the awe at gazing upon shooting stars
the stage in an empty theatre ...
