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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Been swollen for a few days now

Filled with fluid , I don’t know how

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

Built across the foaming waters of passion

Sweeping away the rags of riches

Held up by others as tokens of pictures

A hundred years of knives and forks

Bits of string , spent wine corks,

Pocket knives and paper clips

Sitting in the darkness, waiting to be opened

Staring at the chink of light where the handles broken,

And standing on the parapet

Releasing all the doves

Hoping one will catch your eye

So I vainly hold the mirror

To reflect the tomorrow

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

Summer shadows grace my step

Stretch before me sun behind me

Giant legs and giant arms 

dance like puppets with boyish charm

Few days bring such playful dance

And when they do it is by chance

The sun it rests in the just the place,

The causes smiles upon the face

A moments joy a moments laugh

As I wander on the short cut grass

Dogs now tired with giant jaws

Waiting at the station for an empty train

That’s full of empty people standing in the rain,

Waiting at the station for the train to come

To open my grey old world to a distant sun.

Listen to the doors shut as it speeds away

Leaving from the platform

Leaving shadows of dismay

Disappearing down the line with it goes all hope

Of meeting her and touching her and feeli...

The edge of the sea is the edge of the sand

The edge of the sky is the edge of the land

The edge of the stars is the edge of my hand 

The edge of your breath is the edge where I stand.

Reaching up through the gaps

Fingers stretched until they snap

Feeling for the other side 

Feeling out to catch the ride

Sweet sweet breath upon my lips 

Give my senses wild wild...

As tall as a statue as pale as a ghost 

with red ruby lips that I like the most

the delicate waist the pale pale skin

The scent of anticipation I revel in 

Striking a pose to best effect

Perfectly from feet to neck

Slowly melting to the floor

Shut the blinds and lock the door

Outlined now against the sheets

Lying back with arms to greet

A warmth and heat int...

The black dog walks in the room and leaves me in the cloud and gloom

The January skies are grey the nights are long with shortened day

Rain falls down as shards of glass

That pierce the soul and through me pass

The depths of winter, the winds of hell 

Drive down and try me to fell

The night sky boils with melted brains,

And swirl around with white hot chains

And rain d...

Holes are where we come from

Holes are where we go

Holes you need to hang a shelf 

You make a hole to sew

Holes are small and holes are large

Some as big as houses

Some have holes in their socks 

And others in their trousers

Where would we be without our holes

To extricate our fluids

Everyone has several holes 

And that includes the Druids

Holes f...

A soldier in a muddy trench 

We watch the film but not the stench

Of comrades drenched in young red blood

That fall unknown in putrid mud

The shells thud is constant measure

Young lives slip as buried treasure

To the earth they disappear 

Leave  sweet hearts in daily fear,

Move on now just a hundred years

And loved ones still are shedding tears

For family th...

Breathe in breathe out breathe in breathe out

Measuring the time, measuring the doubt

Measuring the celebration of life within

Breathe out again, breathe in

Step one step two, pacing out another measure

Leave behind our steps for others to treasure

Breathing out our way through paths 

That take us through the light and dark

Breathing in our lovers breath

Breath...

 Ghosts in the room they sit on my bed

They swirl in the dark and enter my head

They stir up the memories of life gone before

They float to the ceiling and crash through the floor

They wake me up in the dead of night

And make me scream stiff with fright

wake up with sweat that soaks my back

Or cold as ice that splits and cracks

I breathe them in a spit them o...

 Setting suns gently sink into the night 

They leave the world without a light.

To rise again in every dawn with reds that grace the sky each morn.

To caress the world with gentle rays that dance amongst the meadow maze

It warms the earth with gentle care to bring us life that we can share

As I t...
