The Siren

The Siren

As she forlornly treads with distant eyes across yonder broken orchard,
Where the dark green ferns grow like netting threaded through ragged men,
Yearning for energy in transference from sunshine transmuted heartbeats,
Open in misunderstood embrace of some familiar dream somehow replicated,
Lo, for this sodden face bears the mark of glutton behind glimmers and trinkets,
Though gaunt and dismantled therein dwells the sinister drawn curtain,
Behind which unbearable troubles reside in tragic baskets made of stolen ribbon,
Tactile residue forms on delicately adapted expressions like a painted lady,
Once gathering blankets in the evening picnic gardens now retired for the night,
In this scenic temporary drama of twists and turning truths of spirit,
A merry gentleman sees opportunity to fulfil deep set desires of legend.

Words Have Feelings Too

Words Have Feelings Too

​Words have feelings too,
Why, cry, do, hide,
Sad, mad, sink, flinch,
Words have feelings too,
Harsh, marsh, dissident, laugh,
Retrograde, masquerade, goose-step,
Lemonade, fizzy, fizzy drink,
Dishwasher, on the blink,
Words have feelings too,
Idiot, fool, imbecile, infantile,
Stand against the wall,
Don't be stupid, is that wise?
Use your brain, open your eyes,
What are you doing,
Can't you do anything right,
Give that to me,
Do you want a fight,
Words have feelings too,
Deny, lie, suggest, pry,
Condemn, repent, mockery,
Life,
Words have feelings too
But do I?

Oh, saintly figurine,
Dispell forlorn intrigue,
Do not weep for me,
But for deeper things,
Hidden meaning,
Abstract reason in truth,
When the embittered cold,
Takes a hold,
And perishes at touch,
And all off-shoots of such,
Unpick the rhetoric,
Demolish the demon of despair,
The beauty of unknowing,
Right up until the end,
All is silent all is fair,
Finger of the maker,
Portion of unified force,
You wear many masks,
In action and in fault,
Put away the sword,
Bring a lantern to our tasks,
And watch over as we evolve.

Numbers

The power of numbers,
To numb,
Take away the element of heart,
An art,
Of the intellect.
Disilluminated lens,
Reality on paper,
Where light and dark,
Merely create amounts,
To be pushed and pulled,
Like pieces of eight,
Ravaging the truth,
Blotting out the sun,
Because it's there,
And we care,
Represent and lament,
No more,
Symbols and signs,
Do not bleed
Do not whine,
They just multiply,
Or divide.

​Nonsensational


Ghetto bricks poised on sticks,
Nearing birds with feathers slick,
Modern syndrome naming nerds,
Slicing and dicing until they burn,
Longitude falls sideways all too soon,
Oh chief hairdresser, grant me a boon,
Do my eyes deceive me not,
Dancing here on the teapot,
A biscuit or two crumbled and new,
Creamy sandwich with jam in too,
Nestled in inoculants
Fists of silty bed,
Bumblebee predicament,
Attracted to your head,
So sit and read upsidedown papers,
Goggle at the dawning noon,
Upon the islets of langerhans,
Built from crisps and jelly flan,
Picnic with the spiderweb,
Sing-a-long at daffodils,
Moan about the sunshine,
And never will you get ill.

Welcome To the Age of Enlightenment

Boatman Poster

Welcome to the Age of Enlightenment,
Where materialism,
Dictates the standard,
And all else grows from this,
Bedrock as cold and still as stone,
An age where our prey,
Is stored in little boxes,
Until it's time we need them,
Billions of conscious beings,
Battery or factory just send it to my,
Refectory,
As cheaply as you can,
Up and down the land,
Paper laws stand between helping hands,
Common sense,
And the end,
Of many a personal suffering,
Yet with dogged eyes,
They gaze at the distant sky,
And swear by their antiques,
Welcome to the age,
Where religious motivation,
In war,
Is so terrifying,
We leave their babies outside the city walls,
Like imperfect Spartans,
No matter how we see them,
Oh this glorious age,
Where our sense of self,
Our free-will,
And our moral standards,
Are all explained away,
Like fairies in the long grass,
Over summer,
And anyone claiming to disagree,
Is fed with antipsychotics.

Knives and Folks

Knives and Folks

It is such a shame,
To see you pick up the blade,
For protection,
In anger, 
No passion and rage,
Looking for justice,
Wanting to feel strong,
Matching up to stories,
You've heard since you were young,
The local legendary figures,
Who remain as postcode lore,
Now just an epitaph,
Or locked up behind cold doors,
If you want to be the toughest,
The strongest and the best,
Then put that drive to good use,
Forget about the rest,
You could be a lawyer,
Even a police officer,
A soldier or a whatever,
And get the thrills you love,
Or be a musician,
An artist or a poet,
Even if you don't know it,
Just put your own mind to it,
And try,
It's better than turning to crime,
This is the only life,
For sure,
So don't waste it,
Like those who did before.

Individual Awareness

Individual Awareness

Here, in the forests and the gardens,
You in the factories and farmyards,
And those in the flower fields yonder,
Now it is time for standing up,
Dignity and compassion,
Common courtesy redemption,
Proper propriety,
Equal opportunity,
And respect,
That is what we all will get,
That is what we deserve,
We are not mechanical,
Our bodies may but us,
The spirit of our being thus,
Composed of dreamstuff,
And extra-dimensional force,
What are we to do with history,
With the lessons learned and lost?
Remember we are all human,
And we are each paying the cost.

For Lovers

For Lovers

Let me bathe in the ocean of your tenderness,
As I cast off my doubts into the depths,
Caress with waves pulled by lunar emotion,
Dreamed up in some sunlit memory,
As I melt in the reflected colours behind,
The deepest hues of your transfixed eyes,
Capture my falling spirit in nourishing arms,
Content in the balancing as counterweight,
To the missing pieces plucked like fishes,
In long harboured shipwrecks,
Make peace with the presence of me,
Solid life within well kept tranquility,
Open gated gardens await the story,
To prop the confident sunflowers,
Let us be medicine to the winter time,
And a blessing to the long days.

Fragments Of Adventure

Fragments Of Adventure
By Rowan Blair Colver

In distant pavemented walkways,
Laden with cracks and chickweed,
Where freight trains rumble gradually,
And fox cubs yawn in the headlights,
On siding roads with nowhere to go,
But to empty sheds now left to shadows,
Cobweb curtains bristle with delicate gusts,
Where cracked windows caked in dust,
Let in the ghostly air quietly singing,
Coughing blankets crumple hastily,
Gloomy corners threaded with coats,
Daring laughter muffled by cold,
Lost fragments of adventure locked away.
