Chords they penetrate

the chambers of her mind

In each room a different sound

another melody combined

with rhythms glucking, aggressive and refined

Should she let go?

Open the doors and let the music be free?

It’s the first day of the year.

The window opens

The air is light, the sky is clear

Her lungs filled with freedom

A shout into the open space!

On June 23rd the people chose

They chose to leave the club

They chose to stand alone

And they chose to snub.

They snubbed the whole of Europe

They took their toys and turned

They turned away from commonsense

And forget all that they’d learned.

They turned inward and gazed

Stared hard at their navels

Their children’s futures narrowed

As the parents turned ...

I work hard most days
hands all rough by six
ah, but it’s worth every callous
whatever’s needed
and when I’m done, I walk
right down the sea-front promenade

so warm and so sweet
with those boats sailing in and out
in the lazy light of the evening

There forms a shape in the foam on my coffee
I see the outline of your nose and eyes

On Being Seen

These are said to be human,

They breathe they eat,

They are equal to all

And all are equal,

Yet they have the power,

Power to take away

The pittance from a family man,

Power to stop a young boy,

A young girl from aspirations

With good working principles.

‘You’ve been seen!’

They say in their juvenile way,

And then it’s the food ba...

From the uncertain depths of diplomacy

rose up this Kraken

his massive mouth spouting

and no one knows the ocean's mind

or the depths that it can sink to.

In the ascendancy he is

scornful of harpoons

the hide impenetrable

so, all you travellers on the seas

and on your land and in the air

remember to take some extra care

as others legitimize those loony tunes.

my legs are closed now

so it's all through to you

you say:

you're fantastic

well

while it lasted

I say:

oh yeah

to deny it

to hide it

On paths we cross,
threads connecting
in place 

Our alignments tangle
in a web
of time 

Flashes trapped
as water drops

When day closes,
our vapour trails
I trace

Those moments in place,
roll like ripples 
on a lake

Those places in time,
held like snow globes

A few silent words lay between us
on some stained and shady card-table
for all the song and dance now skip'd along
and each chosen line stands for ten

A bitter glass of judgement lies full-drained
truer thirst realised in venom-fail

The world and its dog seem determined to dump

All the guilt in their world on President Trump.

Yet it was the saintly Obama - looking back -

Who placed SIX month exclusions on folk from Iraq.

And the list of proscribed lands he handed on

Has been taken up by the much maligned Don.

Whose position as president duly elected

Entitles him and his office to be respected.

He dressed her in velvet,

His little rabbit.

He coveted her sweetness.

She was his drug habit.

Bloody kisses  bite her lip

But it's ok, he loves her right?

His perfect partner, perfect wife,

Slap her nearly every night.

Takes her out in his expensive gift.

He chose it, she must wear it,

She feels embarrassed, tarted up,

Don't say it, touch-paper lit.

“You’re pushing me to the edge, can’t you see?” said my poem.

“The stimulus is dead. Gone.

All you care about is what I look like from the outside;

the superfluous  structure and form. And empty words.

What you’re missing is that big bewitching idea

that lies deep within me, waiting to be ignited.

Time you admitted that you’re intellectually impotent

and emotionally sterile.

Everyone who has every had their heart broken has had that thought-

Is it better to feel or to feel nothing at all?

In the heart of it, you wish to feel nothing,

Not an ounce of pain or heartache every again.

Is it truly better to have loved and lost

Than to have never loved at all.

Clear mindedly, I easily follow that with a yes.

With seeds and juice galore;

Impacted by every detail.

How often do you bite right down
To the edge of any other fruit?

Silent. No bird will sing

Neither of the parties could see

Whether at 6 in the morning
On the way to work
At a frozen train station

all dance within me

in this perfect, silent forest

murmured possums, and repose. Long I slept

Long ago, my heart was shattered,
Scattered all across the land,
I was left alone to build the puzzle
With my own two hands

On my journey I have found that
Every person that I meet,
Has something deep inside of them-  My heart, a part of me

And so, I chose to live without,
To let the pieces go,
To share with them life's beauty,
While I live on in their souls.

He was no inhabitant of this world

Who hurried with such swiftness that the wind

Fluttered the rags around his lanky frame

Like tattered gonfalons...Who`s fierce eyes-

Caught fire long ago of some great vision-

Perpetually blazed...who uttered madnesses,

Words, wild words, no man could tolerate,

Full of crucifixions...

The pain won't go away
Your words, your touch, once loving and warm became calculated and detached
Doubt, fear and shame took hold of you
You lost faith 
You saw no way out of where you were
No way but to run away from me 
You never believed I could be real, that we could be real...
That it was too good to be real

Once the chair is broken

It’s legs are broken

Just like my heart

It’s splinters are poking out of the wood

Just like my appearance

That’s what catches them right?

What brings them to shout.

To laugh.

To point.

But I just don’t get it.

Why do they do this?

Why do they judge me like that!

Can’t they see I’m broken too!

people tell me to love myself for who I am

Can't really say why
Have this sudden pleasure everytime
I want to rinse my heart
Take all that that is stored out
Leave one that is slowly overtaking
I'm fully overwhelmed by guilt and pleasure
This thing taking ownership of my heart
I hate loving it
Keeps me on my toes, uncomfortable
I don't like the chase
This thing causes exactly that
I'm not going to act on it.

How can love go so wrong?

We shone like the space station in the sky.

Her gentle eyes, hers soft sweet skin were like winning the lottery to me

Her rose bud lips, her leaf soft hair

We walked like deer across the hills

How can love go so wrong?

I had a wife but now she’s dead. She was like a fire for me,

 When she went, I felt the cold, the empty rooms all alone.

try to make sense of our uncertain state,

not like the comet, highlighted with brilliant streaks of white,

nor like the falling star, though beautiful in its own right- too brief to be appreciated,

But with such shift of subtle gleam, whose to say it will ever pass?

"I don't want revenge.

Sometimes the truth is, we are left alone.

There is no one to go to.

Just left on your own

inside the world that makes up the collision of your heart and mind.

Each day time passes, and still you could say to me: "Your heart is mine".

Folded down in sorrow. Tears that rain into my heart.

Love is a verb,

An act, a choice,

That choice,

So profound,

Beyond feeling,

Beyond emotion,

Quite spectacular,

In our vernacular, 

Somewhat absurd,

I used to be a savior, always to the rescue,

Then I tumbled down a dry well,

On a vast land of seclusion

As people refused to pay their dues.

What do I see for miles and miles? 

An unending bed of gold dust;

I'm fighting through the wind of vile

Shivering with hunger and thirst

Suddenly, I spot two arms wide open,

In the squiggly vision of blur,

Like a shit mosaic we made when there was nothing better to do

Scratched and distorted but the music is still the same just heard by different ears

We all have control buttons in our brains:

Reactions appropriately monitored - usually.

who is sorely missed.

Going out to sea he was,
but as he left that night;
he placed upon the forehead

a sweet and gentle kiss.

Overcome by terror
I screamed;"Don't go, please stay,
if only to run away and play!"
With a laugh and a smile,
a pat on the head he did
simply say,

Guided by water and

And it left a long lasting curse upon me.

Harbouring a cold heart, but never a word.

A thought had crossed my mind -

"You and I only exist in a reality of non-existance."

So, take my hand and follow me -

Nobody of them became famous was their pity,

Many wanderers came and came many magicians,

Neither of them was able to carve their creations,

Lest they became grief-stricken and more edgy,

For the most of time their sadness turned cagy,

Had there been any kind of charmed glare of hope,

Poetry has many inspections
each line, like thought, re-touched.
We frown at fingered collections
of nouns, and other, stuff.
There are troublesome inflections
and bleeding, wrung-out, verbs,
the wandering explications
of rhymes, the metre, serves.
There are stand alone conjunctions
in hope, that it, amazes,
where
in solitude it functions
in contrived, schematic, phrases.

Homeless salvation in the snow

Begging barristers of poisonous kingship

My mug of prison tea

Is the hangover drink for me

The morning after a too merry night of play

No regrets until she calls me the following day,

A sparkling jet of water streams

Into the glass

Poetry; art with words

Truthful tunes played by a Pied Piper

Happy drinks, happy times

We hide our dark matter behind walls of soft red flesh.

Some people deny the existence of the matter.

Some think their's is so beautiful they should be first.

You deny the presence of it, even with my prompting.

The sharp-toothed skirmisher of January past

passes its knives by her cheeks;

the hillside heralds its shredded brown visage,

winter’s wolf howls the bitter conquest of the moors.

The season of concealing crowns and faces,

of cautious feet across the maze of wilted souls

to reach the lone tree, grey lightning petrified in time.

Frozen into the bark are age and time.

Her eyes shine with unfulfilled dreams

No worries no fear no signs of strife

Thick fog awoke me, I don’t know why,

in time with my own slow-furrowing stride.

And in the fog, extended dark,

One day you'll meet the one and fall hopelessly in love.
Just for it to rip it away.

The butterflies and all the highs,

Through the depths of despair
And a valley of lows; 
your world will crash,
All around you.
Your heart will break,
And you soul will crumble.

A place in which to stay

Where peace can be her name

And sanctuary our play

With no one left to love

And friends that fade away

In which to hide my destiny

You’d think I’d learned the game

Overcame a young man’s shame

Played it all the youthful way

Traveled all those roads as my hair turned gray

All night not sleeping

but tossing and turning over

some unfavourable thought

I lie listening to the bones of the house

creak like the inside of a piano.

Who's awake at this hour?

Just the mice rolling their life's luggage

across the attic floor,

running the gauntlet

between the suitcases and heavy coats,

little refugees sailing

their slim luck in the dark.
