The words fell

falling like spores 

from the softness of your mouth

Embroidered with ambiguity 

they slip into the now

Woven to the cloth 

As into the world 

the mycelium runs

Through decaying harts

the fabric of love

Corrupting the dream

that ties two worlds to one

So blooms the fungus

Idiosyncrasies of love

From the heat

Of hells darkness

Wrought by the hand of man

comes the strength 

to conceive the crucible 

As The phoenix burns 

for resurrection 

To the glory

of dead men’s

insurrections

Life

turns awkward 

as the silence ripples

Quelling the room

Hushed rumours spread

Hard stares of 

avoidance speak

Faces,sheet white 

Hide in fear

He strides,

Evil swings,like

The weight of lead

They came

with their harts of loss

bereaved into our arms

empty of home

to stand as strangers 

under the reign of grief

shattered hands held

Futile

As we cross the road

It stopped 

Right angled

To time 

Linear

A universe 

In one stop

Sliced through thought

Through the inconceivable 

Beyond the curves

Into certain predictions

Of the next 

Predetermined moments

As solid 

As the past is unchangeable

The future fixed

In the knowledge of 

Quantum certainties 

Time perceived

A universal illusion

as words turn 

rolling off your tongue;

the meaning heard

To the flip side you turn

The shear edge of life

exposed sinew and flesh

In truth

The eyes of the lamb;watched.

Learned the face of the wolf

The ram; deceased

What is this life

then to you

With the hand that stabs

twisting deep into the flesh

To take what is not yours

because of your opinion 

To inflict with steel

The core of your belief 

into the body of my soul 

To make me conform

To make me Kowtow 

With my death,I rebel 

For my soul

You will not torture.

At first light 

A burnished bronze horizon

peels back the moonlit sky

revealing ambient scenes 

cut crisp by autumn air

relinquished,they fall;

blushed coppers,

caught on a breeze that weaves

swirling like a river

through the bare limbed trees

they flow all around the woodland

to settle upon the ground

a carpet of cut copper pieces

the autumns rustling sound.

The river flows turbid

barely moving

Stagnant with thoughts

from another’s dream

Despair conveyed

with reproachful faces

The detritus of a decaying mind 

The faces swim

gaping mouths broaching

Their lidless eyes stare

devouring 

Slow eddies

Drain white my face to hear

distorted cries

Pulled down to depths

I sink

You knew what I would do

If you opened the door 

I Would fly

To the woods, to the fire

As the rope swings

I would not recall the warnings;

you gave,at my released 

I would hang to the death, until fingers released

Walk,until legs were sore and embers lit the ash

Then with dirt covered knees, I would recall

A home, with a door 

From where,the pigeon flew

Shadows stretch

and shadows yaw

Death;a flame that flutters

Clouds chased high,moonlight flickers

Darkness moves in places hidden 

Peering eyes revealed their vision

Doleful words;misfortune heard

to cast a spell on those who heard

In my head were hidden voices

Left unfinished by the dreamer

The last chapters never to be wrote

elegant with flow,you memorise.

What immortal bliss you bear

Cool, calculated marble

hidden behind,the velum of your eyes

To fall, one and all to your lies. 

With words,you choose,you carefully abuse

To know is not to prove

The viper in your tongue, that I elude

If you dream,you are a traveler

Though to where,I do not know

Maybe to a future,

from where the rivers flow. 

If you stand upon the mountain

Or walk the road below

You walk in the direction,

to where travellers dreams do go.

Spinning back the years to a younger life

To where their memories were made

To the tunes of seventy eights 

Emotions played from memories 

Cut crystal,tears,as eyes regress

His face as grained as old dry leather.

One twitch

Stuck to the road

He owned a bench

To the top of the mountain 

you carry your dream

Hart worn,hard fought,

the pinnacle 

A solitary wind blows 

Touching the air,you reach;

Grasping the mirage 

of what you believe. 

Hands fall silent,laden with promise 

Eyes hung to the horizon 

Othere mountains,ragged peaks

their distance weary.   

Flags of achievement flutter, desolate 

Remembered, unforgetta...

We bathe in the moonlight 

Silhouettes in eyes

Engaging the surreal 

Splitting open our minds

Fact fused to fiction

All truths and all lies

In the near and the distant

Without seconds of time

Encased within nothing 

Are we divine 

Surreal is the dreamtime 

Escaping the mind.

He lies arched to the recess 

wily as a feral cat

This doorway from the world

his space,his patch;

His wall against life

The other side, their rat race

a trap for the unwary.

Turmoil gathers, wakening

Wryly he reaches for his caps 

One to unscrew

One to lay flat.

It hung from the gallows 

maniacal in mind;

a noose to your neck. 

You had not forgotten,

though you never mentioned;

the silent burden, weighing heavy.

The way bell tolled,

with the beat of your heart;

that gave no forgiveness. 

With an edge to  your voice;

you dragged yourself down.

Into the fathoms deep

With soul searching eyes

My imagination was there;

Within the walls. 

The  information billowed 

like a toxic plume

The weary of hart

gasping for untruths 

The strong,bracing;

For the deluge

Bated breaths, silence 

Cut through the hum. 

Screams;

Within the walls,living

They are not immortal. 

Under the sediment 

Life falls silent

With her tune,she bound me

Her melody,from deep within

She played the tune,subdued me

With her violin 

She wrapped heart strings around me

And brought me to my knees

She pulled my soul before me

With her fingers deftly ease 

She drew the bow and slew me

I dance a deathly jig 

To the tune,that she plays me

Upon her violin

So I take from you

I have walked

where countless have talked

Intrepid steps

lived in footfalls

Some Steps to many

Not counting the next

But the lost, the faltering

To where now is

a rambling world

Footfalls sure

Their world

Of talking heads

Wise words of 

shrunken thoughts

Narrowed,to their

point of mind 

I count,the next step

Lost and faltering

Autumn falls 

Leaves of brown,

crunched with glee. 

Sun in grey skies,

your smile is seen. 

Breaths vapour,your life;

Crisp smiles in your eyes. 

Skipping waves of happiness;

Savouring life,in a cool autumn sun. 

Freedom breezing through your mind  

For those moments, you were free;And I

smiled with you. 

Then the last leaf falls. 

No more glee;

It's hidden,just under the surface 

Eyes seeing,unseen

Like some crocodilian creature;

lingering for its chance. 

It's ugliness stalks

creeping in shadows;

Waiting,at the edge of fear. 

It clambers Unseen,unheard

into the corners of your mind

Then it screams and strikes

with its fatal bite. 

The bigot devours,all reason.

From within you

You are within us

Somewhere, 

From where the flowers

Drawn by piquancy 

Life is tasted, tinted

Painted into a world

A canvas lodestone 

The world through

Van Gogh's eyes.

You entered my soul

through a hole in my mind. 

A neat little black hole

like the eye of a worm hole; In time.

Then enters your essence

a malevolent presence;

With pernicious,possesive intent. 

With insidious dissection,

parasitic deception,

you undulate, slither and wind. 

Disembodying my soul from my mind. 

With infectious corruption,

avaricious debauchment.

One head many bones

Corrupted flesh, hung with authority

Lives fettered by hands of woe

Coarse grains we flow

Pouring like hot sand

Charlatans cure all. Austerity 

A soothing balm of desolation

wind on a barren land

Now the truth is solemn

The picking clean of polished bones

An unspoken word

A mystical world

Growing limbs

That would forever last

Through storm and gales

Flood and drought

The gasping choke

The tautness of a stretching rope

Decaying is their mortal flesh

Clings to a sky of aspic

Sinews stretch

To demands

Deep to the bone

Saturated air hangs

In Sagging skies

Her, tapping on her web

With a bite,she paralysed me

Her prey, praying to be dead

A shroud of the finest thread

Fresh meat upon a thread

He spun the words

Around his mouth

Wore them smooth

Then slipped them out

Here and there

In ones  and twos 

The people soon

Believed them true

Then spread his words 

From mouth to mouth

People angered 

To shout them out

Here and there

Then on the news

To spread the rumours

Follows me

From a space stacked,in time 

Catalogued to the past

You reach

Never forgetting me. 

Into this moment

You haunt

Touching the fabric of now 

Stirring the motes

Footsteps;

Long corridors walked

Into my mind. 

Into this moment 

The pinnacle;

Of now

Into the here

Stitched to your mind

The thread of life thinned;

to one sinew of thought. 

Stretching life to the limit 

The pulse fades;

light,lost to the eyes

The last thought,etched to the mind. 

What is tomorrow

The flatline ran,straight and narrow

Eyes pitched to the darkness

The future engulfs

Eternity fall.
