Be Gone Thine Crystalline Indoctrination

Be Gone Thine Crystaline Indoctrination

 

 

     Tonight, I am in a shambles,

I am distraught and amputated,

   I am beyond a noose or afterlife,

beyond the crossroads where any

expresses the pale.

 

     Today, before the wind kept

insisting the asylum is still our keenest

   observation,

       I trusted a velo court

relationship with a stuttering wheeze,

Deeper

Deeper

 

 

     The damaged quill writes on automatic,

like sci-fi writers of fiction and fact,

     like the ending credits where as life

draws its fake conclusions – we leave

before the last word, the last, breath.

 

     ‘I am ill and so too this quill!’

 

     This quill came my way by

a brown octopus bold and alive,

   in a doorway to a bedroom kingdom

We're All of Us - 'The Puzzle!'

We’re All of Us – ‘The Puzzle.’

 

 

     It is not, a police state but;-

a state of ignorance where peoples

become a desperate for warmth,

   I look to the rings around an invisible -

  knowing the extraction to a vacant stone

     is near.

 

     Again, it is the coldness now

upheld in people that has the white lighter

  a rarity needing save,

In Rothiemay 'They' Still Children

 

 

     There is a fine drizzle here,

A typical post summer indication of Autumn blues,

   I walk childlike - glad of the company of a spirited woman

that age has no unpleasantry to sponsor. 

 

     The dusk has Starship Ferguson keen to paint 

new lay-lines and then;

   an echo of young stealing the air

with soccer talk steals too, my own solemnity

of history I m...

A Sapphire Song

A Sapphire Song

 

     I look up sometimes upon a sapphire sky,

  and know that she is there,

          ‘at least.’

 

     I married an angel once,

she has a wisdom deep with frustration and anger,

   and of course, that sorrow that never has

respite or remedy; a true safe home where

  Worlds ‘should’ be championed to the Cosmos.

 

     She can be a ‘Grey’ or a ...

The Final Solution Fantasy

The Sallow Achieved Once All Was Lost

 

 

     I am awake, and see the light shine

 through a bland window,

   I frown and gather a yawn to sew,

and then exhale an abrupt shadow upon

  a very solitary duvet.

 

     The grit is still within my eye and,

I am not too keen to see the clocks current

     stretching, I note the odour

This Was a Bet

This Was a Bet

 

 

     ‘This,’ was a bet,

a challenge of conventions but whose?

 

     A power has it that ‘we’ are unable -

where a retort sounds from an Empath

   known on Earth,

      a Man whom for all purpose,

   all purpose was denied.

 

     We are unable they declare

as lighting cigars with a fifty sobs note;-

   their keen eye is waiting for your...

The North End

The North End

 

     My shoes do not fit this day,

just like yesterday and the day before,

   it is a shame as,

     football season has we young aspiring -

wanting to play Gemmel, or, Shilton.

 

     I need my shoes to last as,

the playground has broken glass

     I am shopping – undertaking the proverbial daily,

it is busy and this beautiful Sun is baring more than seen

   in recent years and, I am liking that as

     I need the eye candy.

 

     It is a lazy day and not an ounce

of effort is needed in enjoying the warmth,

   then,

     a particular malady has me at odds with myself.

You're Still Here

You’re Still Here

 

 

     I only have one friend,

they be a friend that has me at the end of a long, arduous………

 

     ……….years ago ‘that’ air rifle took a life,

a rifle known and conquered by a clown,

   not that in the shoulder – the man had never

taken aim seriously but,

   there was a disagreement in understanding -

where only humour could muster any purpose.

Acropolis (Epilogue)

The Ancient Greeks

 

 

          .…………...as the Sun began to dip upon horizon,

two seated there upon a field now furrowed,

     claimed the breath they had exhaled,

          a field of wheat and barley sewn,

               for a multitudes return,

 

   a wizened one upon his Son,

smiled upon his friend the Sky,

     as a Column said hello,

Acropolis

Acropolis

 

 

     A single, stone column, adorns a lush green meadow,

it is said to be ancient, and rises over one hundred feet,

there is nothing that really stands out of this column,

dated, they say some three thousand years old.

 

     Birds, glide by, but none have I seen perched atop,

they are, as an inquisitive, as I it seems,

   their interest here but never,...

The Humbled Never Take; Only Give!

 

 

     I am here, or is it there, already,

fifty-six years and long after his death,

I suddenly know Tupac more than I understood,

     I was always there, or is it, here, all along anyway,

         all along and no route out of it,

               or file in cake of freedoms dream.

No Stuffing But Leathered

No Stuffing But Leathered

 

     Back then when politics waged war

upon our workers,

   many a grid - darkened as many pits closed,

      many too - the costliest of lathes befell to silent running -

         and none were given to a save

 

     The table hadn’t the food a family could boast

as pressure had the eye of courts upon communities

where common place, was on...

Upon Mussorgsky's Hill

Upon Mussorgsky’s Hill

 

     Over the other side of a hill you hear the cart trundle -

and the ox breathe deep and baritone,

   like a child born, it is a labour intensive effort -
                       that can never really be taken for granted,

            ‘the cart, may break!’

be it a random excursion or, planned and prepared,

I was the alien here, I was the guest,

 

     It didn’t seem at all ‘any’

Good Move Theresa

Amidst a Cuckold Clout

 

     Apparently, our rulers deem it necessary,

our rulers consider the foot down clamp down -

on yet more human expression;-

juvenile primitive understanding, as that,

is what it is.

No Symphony is as Truly Embittered, as Those Whom Have Tried (all life).

 

 

     There is a night to savour here,

no cloud, bright stars and quieted streets,

     No ghetto bird to shine an ignorant pry,

        just a solemn dedicated night of loneliness.

 

     At Orions Belt the sword still hangs -

perhaps a beckoning Excalibur seeking that ‘one’ -

that has the greatness to wield him with honour,

   he thinks, thinks it will be fine one day,

he is ‘now’ before the sink, filling a kettle

     The thought was of course;- genuine,

and in control, the journey never travelled

fractal enclosures of reliability and he did think

he was enjoying his inquiry.

It is not a famine. It is aids plague in Kenya. It is the same in other equatorial regions of Africa. I was in Kenya in 87/88. They have a good infrastructure and food distribution network they are not like Sudan or Ethiopia that have vast swathes of arid dry desert like conditions.

where did 'You' go?

 

     I thought I could sail yachts,

I thought that, I could fly too and -

   the K2 only a hillock to pass in a day,

 

     The bridges built - wider and longer

when designed with you in mind, in heart,

   no span could never be breached,

no day did not have a sliver of light, at least.

 

     All is held 'balanced,'

   all a miracle in your smile.'
