Crouch on a mountain

Of a life times emotions

 

Piled high like contorted corpses

Stretching their hands 

Up to me to pluck them

From the detritus 

 

Rotting from the bottom

Melting into stinking filth

Collapsing under its own weight

Delivering eternal fate

 

Each day bringing layer 

On layer of unclaimed fears

Cemented by rivers of tears

Navigated b...

Nothing is everything

Everything is nothing

what comes next

A mind that’s vexed 

 

A cloud of iron, 

A river of salt

A sun of ice

A mountain of milk

 

Confusion sweeps 

Time that leaps

Warps millennia into seconds

Compression, 

 

Which came first ,

The water or vapour

The pen the paper,

Without the paper 

Pen is useless

No pen, the paper ...

In the end it’s balance.

When does love become pain

When does loss become gain

When does death become life

When does peace become strife

 

Your easy way , your easy smile

Let me sleep a while

Let me rest weary flesh 

Let me wake the day afresh 

 

The balance flicks before my eyes,

My ears they rest upon your sighs

The half light caresses your form

You’re n...

A life is in the middle

Shadows either side 

In the aeons, before and after

Where nothing happens

In the past we were the future 

In the future We’ll be the past

 

Peering forward, peering back

Shadowy forms drift in and out of sight

The shadow will fade

In a hundred years We’ll be a distant smudge 

On some ones subconscious memory

 

But reaching forward ther...

The golden years are supposed to be

That time when you relax 

and enjoy the fruits of labour

And sit back with your Stack

 

Increasingly however as I now approach the age

The time I have been waiting for 

Has now turned into rage

 

I thought the golden years would surround me with my gold

But I find now that to my cost 

I’ve great big piles of mould

Feet are very neglected

A part  of the body that just exists 

To keep us upright from dawn til dusk

To get us from A to B 

To accelerate and stop the car

Sometimes our feet travel too far 

 

Left then right the endless motion

That keeps us going throughout the day

If we went left left left

We would of course fall over

If right right right it would all be over

The Beings struggle for my soul

As time goes on they become more bold

Testing me in a ruthless way, 

Testing me by night, by day

 

One that pulls me towards good

One that wants me as a hood

I watch the world disintegrate

Before my eyes in greed and hate

 

The plan Diablo is gaining speed

As humanity sinks now to its knees

Mired in the twisted minds

Of men who...

I know a girl in Wales she’s 3 dogs and a parrot

I very well know she feeds them up but none of them like carrots

She takes them out for nice long walks

Or splashing on the beach

I hope that they don’t swim out to far and go beyond her reach

 

They run around and hop and skip, the little one gets bolder

As she strolls nonchalantly up the beach, a parrot on her shoulder

Look down at the earth

Long shadows spill from my feet

That Shuffle in the dust of bygone days

Clouds of memory skip away on the breeze

 

Stone in the palm

Smooth and cool.

The mirror below, shaded pool

Invites the belligerent rock

 

Graceful arc from the launch

Motion slowed but no recall

As inertia fails, it starts to fall

Ignorant the mirror sleeps

Leafless fingers reach to space

Winter now has come apace,

Suspended nature underfoot

Frozen soul, frozen brook

 

Hooting owl in the dark

Foxes bark to make their mark

Mr mouse beneath the leaves

Escapes the claw and scuttles free

 

Strange crispness ,brittle breath

Cools the lungs like breathing death

Clean clear air, that stings the throat

24000 suns have set on me

24000 dawns have woken me

Each one with quickened pace

In one, long and faster race.

 

Dawns and dusk become a blur

The spinning world creates the stir.

That blanks my mind as it implodes

At thought that takes me down the road

 

Rooted here I speed through space

lightning burns contorted face

As each sun sets it leaves a mark

I walk with my friend assumption

Who guides my thought from the minute I wake 

Automatic on assumption, drifting from one moment to another

Assumption I’ll wake

Assumption I’ll breathe

Assumption I’ll eat and drink

Assumption I’ll walk and talk

 

Assumption that you’ll be there.

 

But what if assumption is no longer my friend

How do I function, without assumption.

Twisted serpents in my heart

Strangle emotions before they start

Deep inside the black abyss

I cry for your kiss

 

I reach for your touch,

I miss it so much

Your eyes look straight through

My ghost that’s still true

Standing there with shaking fear

As they stick the needle in my ear

Been swollen for a few days now

Filled with fluid , I don’t know how

Bob is there to hold my hand

Comforts me in where I stand

 

Cream I’ve tried it didn’t work

Each night returns , by morning hurts

I lie there think nice long walks in the soft warm sun with longer talks

Of animals that scurry round

Waking on a crystal day,

The last shrouds of night slipping into the dawn

Distant valleys cloaked in milky mist

Armies of deep green hills fade to distance with heads above clouds 

Of swirling silk

 

Feet on gravel warm to the touch, from yesterday’s heat

As I look down on the silhouettes of woods

Slightly steaming, Awaking with birdsong, 

That floats to senses with the ...

An open door through which all pass

May lead us to a different path,

Unless the handle is grasped and turned

No one will know what could be learned

 

The difficulty of the task,

Of which I must ask,

Is how to first get out the chair

To take the step to free the lair.

 

The comfort of familiar cloth

Has to be first dusted off

Hand on the arms

You’ve captured me

In a web  I’ve woven,

 

That I placed at your door 

for you to come over

 

To seduce me with your fluttering eyes

To entice me out of the safety of life.

 

To whisper the intoxication

To vaporise my mind with elation

 

To take my hand and lead my mind

To bright sunshine that leaves me blind

 

But frees my body and frees my soul

I’m going under now, under the stories you have told many times before

To others that you have opened your door,

Going under the spell , cast by your soul

To which the world moulds its memory of old

 

I’m going under now, as the river flows beneath the bridge

Built across the foaming waters of passion

Sweeping away the rags of riches

Held up by others as tokens of pictures

Once a week, whispered sounds

Introducing some new act

Embryonic monsters waiting to hatch.

There’s a little piece of plastic in the kitchen draw

Along with all the bits and bobs, I don’t know what they’re  for

But every time I open it and shuffle things around

It may be broken Lego or a Britains Indian spear

We dance at a distance

Ghosts in each other’s arms

Empty eyes staring , aimlessly ahead

Steps that follow you, words now unsaid

 

Chain me to your alter,

Don’t let me falter

At the last bastion of your love

That’s given like bread

To feed the longing

Of words unsaid

 

Sleep sleep deeply,

Dream, dream softly,

My minds gone

Frozen, impending time

Like pantomime

Mushed like soup

Jumping through hoops

 

My mind is pouring from my ears

My eyes filled with salt tears

The condition is infirm

But which way to turn

 

Which to think first

Earth,hunger, population, thirst,

World domination, 

Or world annihilation

 

Race to space ,

A slash of red 

A flash of green,

A canvas white

Black lines to dream

 

I stare transfixed , drawn to your face

Close to you now , my heart in race

Butterfly eyes

Caught in the wind

Give up secrets to all that’s sinned

 

Never alone with your smile,

Your look of beguile

Catching me if I fall

Coming if I call

 

Rescuing me from the edge

Exploited crushed, under my thumb

Giving up your virgin beauty

You lie numb and do your duty.

Soil and dirt between my hands

Forever there, like shifting sands

Crumbling dust that falls away while planting in the dark red clay

In the sky they circle round and watch with interest what’s on the ground

 

Breathing in the cool dusk  air the shovels rhythm with a swish,

earths sweet scent to all who wish,

What lives have been in these cupboards

A hundred years of knives and forks

Bits of string , spent wine corks,

Pocket knives and paper clips

Old lipstick to stick on lips,

 

Note pads , pens, pencils and rubbers,

All have rested in these cupboards,

Sitting in the darkness, waiting to be opened

Staring at the chink of light where the handles broken,

 

Then one day  ...

The journey to your heart

Is littered with intentions

Like walking to the bridge

That you forgot to mention

And standing on the parapet

Reaching for your love

My arms outstretched before me

Releasing all the doves

 

Hoping one will catch your eye

my head now bowed in sorrow

So I vainly hold the mirror

To reflect the tomorrow 

And walking  to the middle now

String quartets that dwarf the mountains

Pour their honeyed music down valleys of ears

Creating rivers of milk that wash and soothe

The jarred senses of the day.

Before melting away in an avalanche of sound

Step outside into the storm

The wind it howls as if the norm

Lashing rain, ink black skies

Natures turmoil on the rise.

 

Hurricane blows me down the street

Hands reach down in vice like grip

To take me on a nightmare trip

 

Smashing me on buildings hard

Hurling me into the yard

Breaking bones I hear them snap

3 guardians guard my gates

Guide my life they sit and wait

Watch me as I shamble on

Aimlessly before I’m gone

 

Protecting me from the thoughts

That sometimes take me out of sorts

Leading me back to the path

Of happiness and carefree laugh

 

The triangle they form for me

Protects me from the falling tree

Shields me from the blinding light

The cafe table stands alone.

It’s two seats empty, dry as bone,

The olive trees that stand beside

In pots the conversations hide,

 

Listening like louvred  ears

In front of windows full of tears

Faded shutters flaking green

Of passing memories unseen.

 

A coffee cup, a glass of wine

Empty now as if a sign

Of talk in whisper , love and deep

Crystal waters of chalk rivers

Waving fronds of maidens hair, trailing like slow green serpents

That shadow the bed where silver trout watch with darting eyes that belie their stillness

 

Appearing free the river is directed in the confines 

Gliding quietly to the sea

 

I lie back on the soft green sward , staring up at the blue,

The smell of sweet grass and singing  waters...

The mirror is strange in the things it reflects

As each morning it stares at me silent , yet quizzical of memory  absorbed

Each day that I squint at it blinking into the light of each forgotten dawn

 

What can it hide what does it convey, what can it remember what can it say

It’s grey  face reflecting the room,  mist on the surface hides the forthcoming day.

Sitting carefully amongst the trees

The distant castle gently breathes

A thousand years of history 

In shadowed shrouds of, mystery 

 

What have these worn walls seen,

Sieges, victory’s, a well known Queen

Noblemen that fall and rise

Ignominious peasant lives

 

We wander round and touch the stone

And read about who made it home

But what about those poor souls

Summer sun upon my back

And sink into the wicker chair

To watch the ball soar through the air

In faded hut a game is played

Sandwiches, tea and lemonade

Arranged on plates for thirsty men

Is love to give or love to take

Do I give my love or is it taken,

If it’s taken is it at behest

If given is it by request

 

Confusion reigns

to give, to take, But given can I take it back 

Further down life’s railroad track 

Or taken is gone for good

Lost forever in the wood 

 

You take my love and lock it up

And leave me cold and out of luck

It’s said that when you came to me

With stories of your life that’s gone, 

you needed a hand to hold, a shoulder to lean against and cry on

 

Or was it that I needed you more than the life I lead

A lover to join me in the last days of dreaming suns to sigh on.

To fight all mountains in our way , to fight...

The deepest corners of cavernous caves

The depths of oceans the crests of waves

The weeping willow, the hardened beech

Are all within the writers reach.

Gentle eyes flick round the scene

Her breath is still her eyes serene

Overcome with pent up lust

As basically it all been sh*t

The plasterer he hasn’t come

And plastering has not been done

 

Instead it  sits in powder form

In its bag all forlorn

Waiting to be mixed to paste

Then troweled on with undue haste

Big brown eyes

A faithful lick a wagging tale 

A playful flick that never fails

Stuck like glue through thick and thin

They’re always there to help you win

The command you give to make her stop.

In the kitchen in the hall

Up the stairs and on the bed 

In the garden, in the shed
