Greens and Browns

A green Ripening, lady light, red, well, From seed, grown, lovingly, grafted, Pottered, lustrum long, being kilned, Creative, energies, simmering, Dabble here, there, this, that, Green scented, ears behind, eyes open, more. A green brownie Greens, browns, naturals, “Nice”, “Cute”, fit everywhere, natural, soft, Blending, regal, edges devoid, Angels, on mute, trumpeting her name Rebel pink, to hide, inner child. A Scottish brownie, small, unseen. Camouflaged, to excess. A green brownie searching

The Knife Strong It Cuts The Love

The… the garden, well kept, within bordered, walled, pikes of trust chance encounter, the bag spilt seeds, feelings, sprouting weeds of turmoil, to rank to protect, the soul to overgrow The Knife… the knife, jungle long, jungle sharp handle, worn well, balanced in trust chipped, aged, stained in the air, poised, do do to protect, what it has before and will The Knife Strong… the knife strong, in bearers hand darkened night, glittering trust oft before, to serve, the logical cut to protect, the not, that may be not survival

Who Wants A Girlfriend

You're driving me mad, Yes You Do

You’re driving me mad Yes you are, Yes you do With your tales of past ages And dragons and sages You’re driving me mad Yes you are, Yes you do With your foes and folklore And with your tales of gore And whilst I’m just chilling And listening to the stream Of the ides of time and other such things I love the inflections of your voice You’re driving me mad Yes you are, Yes you do With tales of men who are waiting for you, when?

Autumn Change

Hanging, waiting, thinking Flecks of brown, sinking Floating, from freckled arms Blue sky, speaking psalms Sun lovers, faces seeking Scent, croissants, crispy bun A book, first turned, now nearly done Dried nero stain, in forgotten mug Time, trickling, fading, smug Waiting, for the end, for the tears A night, like any other A day, like any other A day, end or start, life another Twelve weeks, perhaps or gone Question, to be or be done

It Hurts

The door closes. I know it is you Just know it It hurts You’re there but not there Can’t touch Can’t hold Can’t cuddle Can’t kiss your ear Can’t move your hair Can’t hold you close Can’t say how much I feel thee Can’t

The Dot

The Dot Small, and insignificant Ready, to wait, in the right place Hanging, somewhere, somewhere safe The Dot Showing nothing, black Ready, to grow, to infuse Changing, the world, people, values The Dot Like the dot that bore the universe Ready, to explode into life, into energy Creating, joy, purpose, love The Dot Spirit infused, love infused Ready, to bring people together Bonding, a mission, to grow love The Dot A bond Ready, to empower, the future From two people in love

The Knight of the Odd Order

Knight of the Odd Order, on his quest for truth rode the tree lined allees, of teutonic you’th where the bear was at home, thick forest and glen in a far away land, was once Richard’s Den He cameth to a place, where time had last gone a hall so dark and hot, with loud screams anon life and soulless nomads, jumped and dance’eth wild to beats of daemons, drums, clatter, thunder, piled

The Man

The Man The Man Stripped of all worldly wealth Stripped of worldly functions Of just being himself For what is his value worth? The Man Stripped of lies Stripped of false pretensions Of just being truthful For what is his truth worth? The Man Stripped of false friends Stripped of using others Of just being open For what is his friendship worth? The Man Stripped of puppy love Stripped of cocktail love Of just feeling For what is his love worth?

The Hurting

A slither, something hardly percievable overcovered meticlously covered layer after coloured layer forced happy-feelings-glue years of slapping it on slapping it on and slapping it on A slither, grey vague, transluscent but there not budging a tiny something that only a searching soul can see Touch… smooth, rubbery trying to find something sensing something unseeable syncing a path no exit vastness, void, silence, engulfing dark, thin air a thick cloth, covering the corpse
