When the moon wanes

and shadows cast; long and deep

When the soul billows bleak

to the fatigued of life

I will breath for you

as you turn frail and fall

like autumn leaves

I will love you all the more

Do you feel the gaze

As time turns its face upon us

To scribe life as lines 

engraved upon our face

Do you hear its passage 

Hart beats in your ear

Beating to the horizon 

Once distant now so near

Do you perceive it wisdom 

Learned to late to change

The path we have taken

From the cradle to the grave

Black roses hang

in melancholic grip

And of her touch

In the demeanour 

of seduction 

you rouse the dreams

of sleeping men

to be writhed

with torrid affection 

sleep as your guile

into the mind

to wrought desire into chain 

fetter harts to your will 

beguile souls to obsession

It clings to you like a feeling

Personal, intimate 

like a second skin:

of eyes that stare;

perceiving your world. 

Every thought clicked; a motion 

To cleave its coils closer

To know you more

Than any lover can

Grey smoke weaves

heavenward 

no succour for the soul

as flame licks, ascending 

no desire for judgement 

no awareness of heat

or holy cleansing   

flame does not know

of pain or purifications 

of devoutness or death 

of heresies or belief 

just that, what was

is now what is

Consumed

Consumed new of god

of succour for the soul

How you cling 

to the roof of my mind

That esoteric creature 

Of folded wings;

and hueless eyes;

of quiet gaze: resounding 

That creature of dream

Of unfurling wings

Of torment of mind and;

angst of night

of stretch of skin:

flit of shadow; in candlelight

With bead of eye; and

beat of wings; bedlam through

The lid of darkness 

Unclosed by prying eyes;

of light upon my face:

Too rest my head

Alas this cannot be

For morning seeks

the mortal me:

Alas I cannot languish

We will not pass through, this world together 

Our presence - now times apart:

I descended into the mountain 

Time worn, to the smoothness of stone 

I dragged you back - you filled my eyes

to the clicks of a Rosary 

I prayed for me - did you prey too

Or did you fall; into emptiness 

I reached for you

A hand with broken fingers:

Under the mountain - the weigh...

The caw, crows no more    

held silent, in gape of hoary beak;

bleak eyes see eternal

through the mask of winters storm

But as the cold winds blow

through the bare limbed boughs 

the spirit of your freedom;

impales you high into the sky

your blackness to be immortal

so fly now high and mighty

to soar the winters storm

For you will be forever 

the voice of winter...

Even as the passion spoke

in the warmth of love 

of the last embrace 

She knew the words

where lovers lies 

Spoken for comfort

in their last goodbye 

Thoughts they run 

to a distant shore

Where death awaits

and last thoughts lie

But remembered is 

that last embrace 

As only she, remembers now

How dead men leave 

their grief in harts

death couldn’t take you

life held you; close, intimate 

to the warmth of its chest

In the shroud of its breath...

Air heavy, hung close;

Crushing words to whispers...

hidden within; within life itself;

that you never understood

the embers of pain, the heat

like hot coals to the lungs, 

as you grasp, scant air 

pulled with the breath...

close; closer to you

Pearl with lustre 

The moonlight

Opaque with opal

Delicate with beauty

Emerald the green;

I watch from

The height of obscurity 

Looking down,

not god like.Simply I, 

gazing from reclusion 

Towered in the sky,

Seeing 

the whole world before me

painted to the horizon;

Pressed against the glass

Unaware of my touch

Upon the latch

Of the caress

I feel as loneliness 

I wonder of life 

How vacant am I.

To open that window

And let my life fly....

As the pin stick, passes through

from the darkness they step

as the light simmers with heat

silhouettes harsh like 

statues against the glare

feracious Streets hum,

low pitched as 

figures flow, stirring the neon air

shrill notes scatter, wildly

piercing before they fly

Harbingers of death

as the night turns to hell

Splinters in polished; Eyes

that release from longing

To see that past child of mind

Withered within this flesh

For hopes have withered 

Into pasts recollection;Windows

The Hurt bleeds  

when they cut

when the tongues scythe;

silent cuts

that stun before the pain

For what was lost

For what was taken; by

Sharpened tongues, that reap

Struggling for words

They cleanse my mind

And bathe my soul

Opaque face, 

gilt with the art of lust

desire used,

a product to consume

When lips smile,

as the grin swallows 

an  inch at a time,

the palpable loss 

to the soul

From sentient being 

to the cut price of flesh

Trick for the wheel, 

tolls for the pleasure

Bare to the world

Two sides to the pane

Eyes at your window 

Gilt with the art of lust.

Ephemeral moments

Beneath his boots

to be hung

Upon the new

eye you stir

To wake from slumber;

Of nature earth

To breathe as mist

on this first spring morn;

To awake the land 

that in torpors gip,

And with your breath;

life is borne

To this bleak and somber land

With running sap and;

Bursting bud to;

beneath my feet

the ripples disappear.

It is all as stone

As the shadows pass

Withering to the new

For forlorn wishes have

ripened into empty hands;

emptied of futures worth

A passage back to the forgotten 

So they may think anew 

With wit and guile to triumph 

To carve their day in stone.

Nowhere special

dodging the rubber

As the stairs twisted steeper

deeper into the prefect black

He filled his eyes with darkness

To see beyond the light

He walk with no conceptions 

And found to his discontent 

The darkness that he walked in

Was the absence of his life.

Resurrected 

Then there they where       

Twisted emotions,stretched

Thoughts,push through veins 

nerves frayed,edges blunt

as we fumble for words;into 

silent moments.

We speak as strangers

though veins throb

as tension hangs

Breaths held; as we

wade into hopelessness 

Dead anger haunts 

our absent faces

Empty eyes that look away

The lamp stood,distant

lone

Its monotonous hum,

coalescing to

the sounds of the night

It’s arched neck protruding 

Casting sodium light onto

a still monochrome of life

Thoughts are drawn 

like moths to the light 

To flutter vainly 

In the still monochrome 

The hum of the night

The sound crept alone 

unheard In the absence

Aware of its own being 

It ran

Like the peeling of a bells

Resonating through

Felt but unheard 

Loud with the pain

Absorbed with thoughts

Silent to others

Without empathy
