Dream catcher weaved

Of string and with bead

Tied altogether

With many a feather

From the land of closed eyes

The conscious denied

Yet caught in it's net

Are all dreams

We forget

A feather placed 

Upon the scales

Heatbeat weakens

Framework frail

Earthly days

In balance hang

Timeline streams

A greater plan

Inner vision

Of what's gone wrong

Faintly hearing

An Angel's song

Seems familiar

Heard before

Subtle echoes

Remained ignored

Now gently drifting

From mortal failing

Then sent straight back

As a baby wailing

Craving escape

From infinity

It entwines

For a while

In a body

Exploring confines

Of humanity

Begging to break

Unknown boundary

Releasing timeless

Memory

Tilts on the edge

Of insanity

Won't rest

Till it is

What it's 

Meant to be

A Quest that confesses

Eternity

On hearing we should start getting excited about Christmas now

Santa's bringing tissues

Santa's bringing masks

Santa's bringing I Miss You cards

Bulging from

His sack

This year he's got less reindeers

In his festive bubble

Cos if they spread the virus

We're in for worldwide 

Trouble

Angel's there all distanced

Right at the top 

Of the tree

So build up...

August is a great month for star gazers!

Fully clothed

With naked eye

She gazes upwards

To a moonlit sky

A mighty presence

Swiftly felt

Orion appears

Only wearing 

A belt

She's waited here

Till an early morn 

For his shimmering touch

On a summer's dawn

The hunter haunts her

As Venus looks on

But when sun arises

Her lover is gone

Gone in a glimpse

That life you once knew

Convinced it's a nightmare

"This can't be true"

Then keeper of dreams

Declares

"You're Awake"

You cry " It's not real

Must be a mistake! "

But weeks became weirder

Hair growing long

Some of those beards

Are seriously wrong

No more

Are the handshakes

There's limited hugs

We're all masked up now

Not just the...

From a bed of roses

To a bed of nettles

Smooth satin sheets

Becoming metal

Tender whispers 

On plumped up pillows

Now bitter pills

And weeping willows

Love was taken

Not returned

Lust's a lesson

Never learned

After the end

You'll find the fingerprints of angels

On everything

As you chase the screams of your vanishing half

Into the wild mist, of dark matter.

For death comes to call unscripted

It's the train to impossible places

Only stopping at new beginnings

On arrival, you're still breathing

Heart steadily beating

And you are transformed

Back against bark

Legs touching roots

Sat in near dark

Searching out truths

Outstretching arms

Reaching for branches

Ebb and flow hours

Turn into trances

Leaves fall in my hair

Like chances long missed

Splinters of wood

Scratch at my wrists

Bird song so sweet

Echoes my ears

Wisdom of tree

Far greater than fear

Invisible blindfolds

Are what we're now wearing

Law of the land

Almost past caring

At a crossroads we stand

Courageous but frightened

All of our senses

Incredibly heightened

Take care of yourself

Make your own choice

Never ignore

Your own inner voice

Some like to wear black

It makes them look slim

Yet want to attack

When it's colour of skin

They go on their travels

Wanting a tan

To be naturally brown

Is to sometimes feel banned

All hearts beat the same

Whatever the race

All tears still run clear

As they fall 

From a face

Bitten by passion

In forbidden times

Meaning is missing

As each hour chimes

Watching his body

His face

Through a screen

Can a coin set him free

From this vending machine?

He offers a penny

Just for her thoughts....

' If you'd been some chocolate, I'd get what I've bought'

Muffled speech

Behind a cloth

How she wished

He could take it off

Though his voice

Not clearly heard

Instead his eyes

Spoke every word

Little creases

Revealed a smile

Undefeated by

Life's new style

Effervescent days

Dissolved into space

Awaiting resolve

The old way erased

Hibernating humans

Run free

A reversal of roles

In the etherical fabric

Something resides

Fears knit together

Truth mixed with lies

Silence is loud

Feeling out words

Reality & fantasy

Suddenly blurred

Inner world becomes

More real than outside

We ran from ourselves

Now we can't hide

​​​​​​Call the trade descriptions police...we've been sold the wrong spring this year!!!!

Like a metal coil

Compressed

In a tense, uncertain

Rest

And when the pressure is

Released

Many mere mortals, by then

Deceased

They thought that

Spring

Was daffodils

Now life has fallen

Almost still

Invisible, silent, viral

The question is

Maybe moving to mars is the only way to escape the virus!

Fingerprints of the sun

Upon the face of mars

New life has just begun

It's usually the day

To steer clear of ladders

Blacks cats

If only they'd avoided

Those random 

Flying bats

Nobody really understands 

Exactly what we should do

Just got to keep

Washing our hands

Buying extra roll

For the loo

Good luck and

Hand sanitiser

Both in such short supply

Borris seems none the wiser

So do your best and

Try not to die

It won't sneeze

Or leave

This tree

It will stay.

Let's birds & butterflies

Nibble and play

No staying inside

This tree

Can't hide

It is

Just minding it's own

Self isolated

But never alone

It's at the root

Hugs and handshakes

Are things of the past

Kissing is missing

Germs spreading 

Too fast

Feeling guilty to cough

Or even to sneeze

In case others think

I've got this disease

Gloves cover my palms

Close by is my soap

I won't be alarmed

But i'll pray & I'll hope

First it was brexit

Then it was storms

What's coming next,

Is it locusts in swarms?

Like a little 

House sparrow

In a winter

Of sorrow

She's waits 

At his table

For breadcrumbs

Of love

Standing for hours

Till sun turns

To showers

Till seeds 

Turn to flowers

Before she

Subtle signs are showing

That springtime's almost here

Though winter wind still blowing

Birds sing with chirpy cheer

Trees standing there half naked

Grow costumes of budded leaf

Mother nature refills

That which has

Been taken

From a cold hearted winter thief

Paper hearts don't beat

Of Valentine's?

He was not aware

All she wanted

Was a rose of red

But spending money

Brought him dread

She rolls her eyes

And looks above

As he tells of how

She has his love

These words sound

Empty

Said without cost

That was the day

Her love

He lost

Then came the 14th day

Of Feb

A new lover she found

Learning won't stop

After uni, college or school

You may reach the top

Yet still feel a fool

For each day

Brings new teachers

In many a disguise

Though sadness

Will feature

In the end

You'll be wise

We're all learning

Lessons

Just not in a class

We find out 

The best things

From our days

As they pass

Ordinary people

Their freedom

Was vital

So nice

Then turned

Now off

On their

Bike

They have

On hearing about Easter eggs going on sale on Christmas Eve

No chance for cupid

To pick up his bow

Not yet melted

Those men of snow

When what was on

Shop shelves

Full show

But  a shiny

Easter egg

Left uneaten

Chocolate money

Leaping Lords

Replaced by bunnies

We're still in winter

Though a little sunny

Christmas on 

Last legs

It's always the same New Year's resolutions for me...to write more often! Happy New Year to all ...

At First

Just a thought

Then some paper

The words

They came later

QWERTY was flirting

But kindly 

I declined

It's demand

Held a pen

In my hand

And began
