Betwixt
Inspired by this time space we currently find ourselves in....
The land of betwixt and between
What's been
Versus
What is unseen
Next year hints
A clarity
Of vision
Perfect for
Leap year
Decisions!

Christmas Angels
Their existence on earth
Often so quizzical
A little eccentric
More ethric
Than physical
Sometimes they're
With us
Our lives
They do touch
When others
Dismiss us
Their smile
Means so much
They're guiding
Through life
From the smooth
To the rough
Reminding lost
Souls
That they are
Good enough

Mistletoe Mistakes
They wanted to kiss
Yet missed
With Mistletoe
How could they resist?
What he didn't know
Was he'd stood
On her toe
A short lived bliss
All of their hoping
Just turned into hopping!

The gift of words
What you say this Christmas may be even more important than what presents you give ....
Some of them written
Most of them heard
Many are bitten
By the power
Of word
The gifts that
You've given
Soon they forget
But choose words
With care
Lest a lifetime
Regret

Out of body
You know that you are having
An out of body experience
When you find
Your heart and your mind
In a different place
To where you physically
Are

Solstice state of mind
Dissolved into the dark
Part of it all
At one
With winter
Everything has disappeared
Yet nothing
Is feared
For it's all the same
Not death
Nor riot
Just mind
At last
Quite
Now I let
The light
Back in

Christmas game of cat & mouse
Twas the night
Of Christmas eve
Cheshire cat
Begs mouse
To leave
Usually I'd have
To kill
But tis the season
Of good will
Take your chance
Run Away

On Santa's sleigh
Let me lap up

Of gin
And frighten
You
With a drunken
Grin

Frantically he taps on the glass
Louder as they pass
Now he screams
But not through a window
It's a screen
Nobody knows
He's scrolling
His soul away

Muse
His muse walked invisibly
Beside him
As she always did
Sometimes she hid
But even then
He knew
She was there
Could feel
Her presence
In the air
Heard her
Gentle sighs
In the
Otherwise
Silence
She would
Reveal something

Retrograde
Mercury retrograde is at the phase where it is giving us the chance to revisit lost opportunities with a second chance in sight. Useful to take note of whether you believe in astrology or not.
Clockwise has closed
Now
Backwards beckons
Tocks become ticks
A reversal of seconds
Repairing the wreckage
Reckoning with time
Another chance
Awaits
Before the
Next...

Nonsense
An experiment in your observation ...
Having the grace to explore the alchemy of my soul
I was in the black, out of control
I'm strong enough now, to please
Just myself
Shouldn't be easy for anyone else
Take a look at how
I've become so astute
Jumping and singing
Just like a cute newt
Flying high up off the ground
Slightly ruined
But still around

He was her dragon
Didn't have talons
But their 'nomance'
Dragged on

Reputation of

Scaly, bit flaky
A hazardous lizard
Still
In a puff
Of sweet vaporised smoke
She was sucked

November Horoscope
November begins on a point of tension
Now the political stuff
I'll not even mention
Mercury retrograde has just begun
It can make a fool of anyone
You might be misunderstood
It could cause a delay
People from your past
May come back your way
Mars and Pluto in the boxing ring
Watch out for trouble
If you've had a secret fling
November 8th will touch your soul

Robotic
Recapturing who I was
Before my microchips
I used to be a human
Now it's electric bits
Back then,
I had less memory
I needed to
Use my brain
Subjects like maths & physics
Were such a struggle
A strain
I remember
I used to wear glasses
So much I wasn't seeing
That's all in the past now
I'm a supersonic being
I used to get
So tired

Drunken Monk
On hearing a story about 'Auto-Brewery Syndrome ( ABS)
There once lived
An incontinent monk
He never drinks

Were flummoxed

In his
Stomach
Now they
All want
To squeeze out
His trunks!

Blank Canvas
It's attitude was neutral
Neither here, nor there
Just a bare canvas
That stands without care
A vast space vibrating
It waits without rush
Filled with anticipation
For the stroke of a brush
Allowing anything
The artist desires
Till the picture appears
For all to admire

In short supply
Sometimes you just have to give yourself a break from feeling bitter and give yourself a chance to love something. This isn't just about romantic love.
The best kind of love
Is without conditions
No doubtful suspicions
Or painful omissions
There is no one reason
For the feeling
Never defending
Or pretending
It just is
With No Ending

Be Yourself
Deafened by definitions
About who we
Should be
Becoming blinded
By beliefs
We can't see

Tries to
Rearrange us

You belong
You cannot
Be sold
There is
Nothing wrong
In breaking free
From the
Mold

Birthday Flowers
Harsh words were spoken
A vase was then broken
Their only shared token
Of love
She'd waited for hours
For him to bring flowers
But instead he'd brought
Gardening gloves
This is not what she needs
Yet a packet of seeds
Is her gift
He'd practically bought
Without loving thought
And that was the
Start of their rift

There's magic in a touch

The miracle of each day
That we've awoke again
The greatness of those blades of grass
That grow beneath our feet

Today's poem is brought to you by the letter F!
Hanging on in there
From green to golden red
Delicately fixed
By an axil thread
Then freed of
This fusion
By a forceful breeze

To flee from
It's tree
Fluttering past
Admiring glances
The final show
So now it
Dances
Then falls to
The ground
Having proved
All it's worth

Contemplates her future
In this life and beyond
For a thin veil hangs behind
Separating her worlds
Today she sits on this side
Not because it is better
But to never experience both

Never half empty
Fill it with love

On your door

To play ball
I'd lick your knee

Heads on a Pillow
Just some more free verse that popped into my head. I think there is something for the sake of art in leaving something as it is etherically 'given' now and then....
Only my pillow knows
Where my mind goes
As I close my eyes
When I wake up
It says Nothing
Look as it lies there
Smug and Plump
It also knows
Where your head goes
When it's not next
To mine

Today is the tomorrow of yesterday
All so quickly a memory
Past & present simultaneously
Waltzing through all
Our faults
Internal sounds and visions
Replaying forgone decisions
Still feeling it all, So physically
Today again just
Lost on me
Seemingly living
In yesterday...
But time still dances
To the tune of chance
As we look forward
Again

Dare to be yourself

On hearing that Online Dating is now the most popular way for U.S couples to meet.....
True love has been
Outdated
Romance is Now
Automated
Your chance lasts
Milliseconds
There's someone else
To click on
And as you plan
To meet
They've already
Hit delete

Rough Diamond
More on the whole writing process, & turning your scribbled notes into something....
Mining my mind
For Diamonds
Rough Nuggets
On Notes
Are the
Shy Ones
Got To
Polish 'em Out
Nice & Shiny
Won't Let
These
Self Doubts
Defy Me

Addiction
Anything, Anyone
Can become
A bad habit
It almost goes, unnoticed
Focused on something else
It just sneaks in
Nibbling
in the background
Before you know it
Habit's biting you
Forced to feed
It's greed
Trying to tame a tiger
Bound to your
Blood soaked bandage
Every finite fibre
Of threadbare
Existence
Just holding it together
No freedom from

What's Left?
Here's the science bit... the left side of the brain is where visuals and imaginative ideas are constructed and so....
Is someone being misleading
Telling tales Oh So deceiving?
With every word they utter
There just ain't
No believing
Still searching for the truth
But not a single trace
One thing that you must do
Look straight
Into
Their face
As soon as you'v...

Giraffe
I heard that Giraffes have been protected from being slaughtered for their body parts for the first time this week....So a celebratory poem
It's Wonderful to have
A long neck
It reaches up
To the sky
I can nibble leaves
On treetops
And smile at
Birds
As they
Fly by
It's just
Great
Having this
Long neck
I can see
For Miles around
I always k...

Always Intertwined
Where does your mind
Begin
And into mine
Then end?
Feeling individual
All your
Boundaries
You defend
Ego ties
You down
Anchored
To one place
I like to
Peer beyond
Beneath your
Earthly case
Thoughts constantly
Exchanged
And yet
Cannot
Be seen
Souls purpose
Still
Remains
For our
Spirit
Has always
Been

You only see it when you slow down
Inspired from a book called stop,look,breathe,create which we were studying at my bookclub, and it got me to do just that
Shadow of light
Like a portal
Appears
At First
Out of sight
Then
Suddenly Here

D.I.Y An Unfinished Love Story
Because it's Bank Holiday Weekend in UK and some guys like to start D.I.Y projects but don't have time to finish them....
You don't send me nice
Curtains anymore
I guess that's why
Love
Is blinds
Everything
Including my heart
You
Interiorly Designed
You put the
Pain in
Paint
Waiting for
You
Is like
Watching it
Dry
I think
We'll

Brother Leaf
Nature's hands
On my hands
These leaves
Are leaving
An impression
On me
Feeling it's veins
Something
About us
Is the
Same

Brexit Poker
Macron's
Got on
His poker face
He says there'll be No reshuffle
Poor ol' Boris
More disgrace
His hair
All in
A ruffle
'We need to leave
Before Bewitching Night
I'm really in a rush'
But we all know they can't get it right
We'll never get our royal flush

Lost Meanings
Hearing that words from Natural history such as Acorn and Conker are now lost on the latest generation got me thinking...
When web was a silky spider's thread
When online was your school shirt
Fixed on with a peg
When a tablet was something
You took, when ill
Nothing more
But a type of pill
When mouse was
Something chased
By a cat
OK, I'm going
Too far bac...

Escaping Writer's Block
Caught in the ruins
Looking for a
Way out
The scribe sits
In silence
Waiting for a muse
To remove
Doubt
He prepares
In meditation
Now he's between
Two worlds
Almost time
For his
Initiation
His thoughts
Are in
A swirl
He knows
He can escape this
His setting out his
Course
Crafting out
His words
At such
An incredible
F...

ConVERSEation
Cryptical clues
On the tip of the tongue
Performed in a verse
Or a line of a song
Meaningful messages
Massaging your soul
Lost in a rhythm
You just can't control
Regular chat won't
Give you this thrill
But tuning in
to a poem
Certainly will

Seasonal Variations
The changing colour of the seasons
Can life get any better than this?
Reflecting through all the reasons
Of why we came to exist
The midlife comparisons of autumn
As we're reaping our rewards
Fear of the chill in winter
Will we survive old age
Or be ignored?
As we look back to
The growth of spring
When all was so fresh
And new
To the warmth and heat
That ...
