I fell into a fever of dreams

Where nothing was as it seems

The world had changed, liberty frail

Captain Ahab v the great white whale

I saw the moon turning red

The autumn leaves crisply dead

Underfoot and underhand

Fill the graves with shifting sands

When Heaven falls, Hell will rise

Through corporate suits, & silken ties

Gouge my eyes

Flay my skin

Stitch it up with mortal sin

Eat my flesh

Grind my bones

Cover me in crimson tones

No longer are we

The Land of The Free

Put self, 

before sweet Liberty 

Extinguish my torch

Extinguish the light

As we all ‘go gentle 

into that good night’

#Holocaustmemorial

There was music at Auschwitz, to greet them off the train

Then to the disinfection area

Where, they were never seen again.

You were standing, coffee steaming 

Misty-eyed in melancholic dreaming 

My heart beating

Your smile, like the breaking of a new dawn 

I stood  forlorn 

My sobriety, a long road of intention

To my ascension 

Our eyes collided, my heart dancing

Entrancing 

My feet had strayed no further than my hometown 

The local clown

Though in my head I'd travelled far & wide...

Happy New Year to all at WOL! 

I Sailed across a stormy sea

I wonder what became of me?

Perhaps I settled in a far off land

Where palm trees grow through golden sand?

Or, do I still sail the many seas:

A ghost ship wearing the ghost of me?

Or, maybe, Atlantis dragged me to shore

And there I wander in untold awe?

In time, we build this ship ourselves, 

as the wind...
