The universe is very small now,

As broad as a tightrope.

As short as a thought.

We are tiny

As tiny as 

………….’s

Floating in minds eye.

The world is small

Smaller than a mote.

And we balance on it

Lost but afloat.

Just.

The universe is anything.

The universe is anyone.

It can walk alongside you.

One day its your son or daughter.

Another its stars.

I hadn't seen her for some time

but the dolls in her pram hadn't changed.

She had got older of course,

more haggard,

but still the nurturing went on

willing herself into the background,

her dedication a flight from reality.

She seemed to have taken to the streets

since her low key cafeteria was glammed up

throwing a spotlight on her entourage,

The form breaks in vibrant heights 

To fall like stars from heavens sky

And visions writhe as scarlet tears

Torn by thorns of others eyes 

Malign words rake your maladies 

The Dissolution of your mind

Word for word of your mantra built

To fall as dying stars

KNOWN

Everyone wants to be known,

Trying so hard for others to see.

My Creator is the only attention I want,

Because He already knows me.

Sticks and stones, whips and lashes,

The long knives make their long slashes,

The hammer falls, the nut smashes.

Sword of discord with sword clashes,

The metaphorical car crashes,

The softly spoken's big stick bashes.

But the sting of stick and whip passes,

The cost of the cuts of the swords masses,

Making those that used the long knives, asses.

She was not the ordinary girl
She was a firefly lighting my way
I'm just a space cowboy that drifted upon this lighthouse
These peculiar times has been heavy on the soul
For I'm just the captain of this lighthouse now
Selling on a dark ocean lit by the hope to see her again
Only loneliness is promised on the ship
One day I will hopefully leave it and see the world from her light

Standing your turf
wielding a giant pen.

Power serving words,
determined to win. 

Into the net,
foot-faulted
out of bounds,
disqualified.

Will you be the 
pinnacle of calm
or pull a McEnroe? 

Steady your pace
or steamroll every 
opponent you face?

Time tames 
the temper
as many 
professionals
know. 

Love,
match point,

Self-destructive beings 

This is all humanity 

Taking 10 steps forward and.. no steps back 

Our perpetual focus is what we lack 

Oh society, how blind can we be 

It's right in front of our eyes yet we ignore to see

We are the reason of madness 

The cause of natural depletion 

Is the constant hunger for more the process of our own extinction?

Take me for a walk, Thursday's pressing my veins,
going through your secrets, through your mind,
all the spots are just the same, quiet and sublime,
your milkshake soul, so hard to find.
And if you ever offer me a peace of that sound,
if you ever try to hide me from that mess,
hold me, keep me, smash me to the ground
your milkshake soul, my emptiness..

"Heavy Snow in Wales": 30th January 2019

A sheet of pure white covers her face: that land I thought I knew

frozen beneath its covering, buried ever deeper in its icy tomb

the contours I know so well:

every dip and valley; hill and gully

smoothed by this mantling shroud that descended

as time slipped slowly away, locking us in its white eternity

One last frozen tear d...

Construction Time

on the horizon straight from your mouth
its concept’s been realized
 
you have to block out everything now 
got to be blind to the chaos 

got to climb those walls 
maybe then it’ll exist 

behind closed doors 
schemes are planned 
money changes men

A jar of jam from Russian snow

A tattered book that I can’t read

A photographic trail of love

A bible kept - from one good friend

Who sank inside The Amazon

A painting of her long-gone dog

And she returns right happily

Grace and Favour

For all that a life that's truly led

provides the anxious soul with balm,

yet a gentle breeze, invisible and calm,

precedes the storm where the meek have fled.

In Summer's graceful darkling glides the hawk

in flight over burnished grain, 'till late

a final stoop unearths its prey: its fate

the slashing shadows where the killers stalk.

The Smug Bastard

He marched in triumph

at the head of his men

basking unjustly in adulation

aimed at the deeds performed

by his troops,

like a carrier pigeon

selfish eyes seeking

Cruel, ambitious, self-centered

Clouds swirl blue celebrates

A tiny victory

Thoughtless man lacks the will to care

The whole green earth suffers at his hands,

A women's care is gracefully sustained

Faint call of soaring seabird shadowed against burning midday sun. Hazy white wisps suspended low on horizon. Gentle waves barely disturb cerulean surface as they erase footprints oozing across wet sand. Knotted clumps of drying kelp clutter high water line, its salty tang drifting through shimmering heat. Lolloping labrador leaps in pursuit of slowly fluttering flies. Staccato sounds of spade bea...

Incapable of joshing round

With fangs and fire and venom

Truth deceives no one

As a passing cloud

lit by moonlight marked

a rimmed spectacle

of a tv arial

I shifted weight and blinked

and recalled wordless feelings

before trying to put into words

useless aphorisms.

It's the words

with their wanton

un-mouthed ache

that bleat silently

against the ear

and tangle those as yet

un-marked and un-surveyed

We must stand with tolerance to get along

Communication

We find our truths 

A common course

To concieve others can hold  more

More than we bargain for

Lets not let our perceptual paths lead us to distruction

It occurs with some desire to employ objectivity,

He'd had the original come to mind some time before -

That a married man rarely pleases his mother-in-law,

He stomped into the small lounge

Deliberately

And dropped his school kit on the floor

Beside the tutoring table

With a thump.

He eyed the paper doily with its apple juice

And the silver muffin cup

Glinting with bright SKITTLES.

Without a word he sat down

Took a sip of juice and licked his lips.

He toyed with choosing the best colour

Sinners will never be winners,

For their sins, there not begginers,

They hope that there sins will be washed away,

By a god that who will forgive in order that they can sin another day,

You can see evil in their eyes,

With that there is no disguise,

There mission is to destroy the meek,

Who's position in life they seek,

The meek have been misguided for many a year,

Sometimes I feel like its too much to handle,
