Theatre Of Creation

Theatre of Creation


Within countless sections of cosmos,
In every square inch of there is,
Happens everything,
Natural laws and processes,
Vortices and balances,
Bubbles, spirals, transferences,
Of energy,
On Earth there is life,
Perhaps on countless other worlds,
It is there too,
Semi-conscious animals,
Slightly more awake intelligence,
Who knows what precedes us,
And goes way beyond our minds,
Gaseous oceans of spongy antiquity,
Veins of liquid gold spewing,
From the exploding shell of a sun,
Infinitely more places than light,
In its time constrained horizon,
From our central visual point,
In all directions,
It's all happening now,
Hunters hunted the torture of the chase,
Teeth sinking into necks across the universe,
Like the physics that holds water,
The rules play out eternally,
Into diversity,
And we are standing still.

The Cost Of Today

The Cost Of Today


Sometimes we forget,
Our modern glorious age,
Where freedom is given,

And education,
Is the standard for all,
Where girls and boys,
Use the same entrances,
And women can go to work,
When married, 
They no longer disappear,
In the eyes of the law,
And when in school,
We can't be beaten,
With sticks,
Trousers down, bend over,
This is for being a fool,
Don't you remember?
No, of course you don't
It happened to your grandfather,
Not you,
Conscription of men,
Forced to kill for state,
Regardless of what the ten commandments say,
Shall we go on?
Don't take liberty for granted,
It could as quickly be gone,
Part of the equation,
Is understanding and respect,
Even when something isn't right,
We must learn to trust progress,
Patience for our fellows,
No matter where they live,
Give them time to adapt,
And set good examples to give.

A Poem​

Here, in humble smudgings of character,
Where inward eyes ripple inside,
At the vision of beckoning sounds,
And in this troubled tempest,
Stalwart pieces rumbling beneath,
Blankets of fiery pages,
In twisting unfathomable age,
Undone like buttons with delicate fingers,
Broken soliloquy and murmuring splinters,
Jagged verse with subtle earnest,
Revolution and recognition,
Response to tranquil ghettos,
Hellos lost in translation,
Over corridors of defending mirrors,
Each with shared secrets,
Oathed in silent horrors,
A story deeper than bloodshot eyes,
Forthcoming teacup,
Unbeknown to the tabletop,
Let me hear your thoughts.

Do Computers Dream?

Do Computers Dream?

When computers go to sleep,
I wonder if they dream?
Do they have a program,
To keep the hard-drive clean?
When they're not active,
Do they defragment while passive,
And check for faulty bytes,
Or do they simply stop,
And enter a void of inertia,
Does its process take flight,
Leaving nothing but charged matter,
Yet does it even know,
That it's calculating my workflow,
Does it feel or see,
Anything that it does for me,
It makes real decisions,
According to its rational thought,
Just like we all do,
Yet it doesn't have a fault,
The human is always controlling,
And making it perceive,
Does it actually know it though,
Or does all to us it leave?
How do we become conscious,
Are our brains that different to laptops?
Nervous systems give us sensations,
And analogous computations,
The I within my body,
That identifies with my thought,
Is that absent in the computer,
Because we didn't program it in?
Or is it more universal,
A conscious vein of being,
That knits within all of us,
Without us knowing or seeing,
And then if we design a computer,
That adequately resembles life,
Will this vein of consciousness,
Decide to enter in time?
We can never know,
In this current realm of thought,
Yet perhaps one day there'll be truth,
On this matter and many more.

Judgement Day

Gentle Garden
Judgement Day
Poetry about Climate Change

by Rowan Blair Colver


Have you ever been?
Diving in the sea,
Swimming around the waist,
Of the Statue of Liberty?
It's the latest thing,
A portion of the ocean,
Cleaned of its plastic floating,
It took a few years,
But they finally cracked it,
Then there's the museum,
For animals we once had,
Like polar bears,
Dodos, hump-back whales,
Sea-horses, kestrels,
Cod, redwood trees,
That kind of thing,
And when we get some wind,
Have you seen the hills?
Beyond the barren desert,
And the grimy mills,
Never mind the rats,
They eat all the filth,
It's because of the rubbish layer,
Upon which our house is built,
After the great plague,
And everyone got ill,
Because of the sewage,
And the rubbish we all spill,
When we ran out of landfill,
And we forgot the colour of the sky,
After the ice-caps melted,
And half the population died,
This toxic apocalypse,
How do we fare?
In these last days of judgement,
We are only too aware,
It wasn't us who made this,
It was us that failed,
There was a great evil,
And it crept in through the veil,
Now we keep going,
Through the thick and disgusting waste,
It's so warm nothing really grows now,
And the supermarket is in flames.

Welcome To Winter

Welcome To Winter
By Rowan Blair Colver


Welcome to winter,
Solitary wanderer of life,
Step inside with the frosty tide,
And be present as the ice,
Gradually creeps in steady hands,
Over the cold bitten land,
Witness songbirds quickly jump,
Through twiggy hedges,
And leafy lumps,
Mounds jetting over pathways,
Windy ways with flower beds laid,
To rest apart from the dainty rose,
Clinging on in little rows,
The petal confetti dapples crumbled,
Soil quality of frigid clay,
Gathering wood like yesterday,
Where the bracken lays,
Splintered brown and mossy gown,
Before holly green,
Still beaming with glint,
Knowing admirer where,
Domestic cats tread,
Across boundary ahead,
Towards darkly nights,
Candle light,
And breath like chimneys,
Buttons done up tight,
Come sit with us,
On this lowly eve,
Eat the food with pulled up knees,
Drink this brew of selected leaves,
And tell us tales from where you live.

Man Up

Man Up
​By Rowan Blair Colver

Man up, mate,
You're doing okay,
Life's rarely easy,
Just take a break,
Put stress to one side,
Think of other things,
Relax in your stride,
No need to winge,
Pull yourself together,
Slowly one at a time,
Take as long as you need,
No-one really minds,
You know you do your best,
And you understand your mess,
So let time take its course,
And this is not a test,
Just a pattern of life,
That we all must go through,
Stick to your sunshine,
And don't howl at the moon,
Broken hearts and troubled dreams,
Take more bother than it seems,
No-one asks about self-esteem,
Just call it ego and wink secretly,
I know it's tough when you don't know,
If anyone cares about how you go,
If anyone notices that you're finding it rough,
Or if one day soon you'll have had enough,
It's up to here you say,
The water is rising fast,
Well change your focus,
And make it the past,
Nothing is done that must decide
The next choice you make with your mind,
So move along and keep on smiling,
Because under the raincloud,
Is always a silver lining.

Morning Moment
By Rowan Blair Colver

Stare, stare, through broken austere
Windows, with petticoat curtains pinned there,
Dragging in the unwelcome winds within,
Yellow cress spindled over snippings,
Of torn denim dress curled like whipping cream,
Over timings and mood of dredged,
Reduction inside from hollow promised smiles,
Mania, mania, bring me my glazier,
Have them drink this tea, have them eat,
Biscuits with me, before bringing the warm back home,
One day soon, when the wages,
Make up for the sage advice given by the cold.

Ballad Of Adam

Fear Canvas Print
Ballad Of Adam
By Rowan Blair Colver


​High on the tree of knowledge
Its luscious fruits sweet
Empowering flesh of the judge
Skewing all perspective
Express such dismay at pebbles
And different choices
Forget the rules of freedom
When my opinion doesn't fly
Doesn't matter how many have to die
As long as I
Am heard and agreed with
For I Know
And my self-preservation
Declares that all else is subservient
To this
Why offer respect
Why empathise
When I see that there needs to be adjustments
According to me
Never mind the universe
In all its wisdom
I know better
Because I am the bearer of the fruit
And I am high
On its illusion of me.

Be Mindful Of Your Thoughts

Be Mindful Of Your Thoughts

By Rowan Blair Colver


Be mindful of your thoughts

And watchful of your feelings
If you are not careful they
Will have you enslaved 
To any number of things
Futility and Sisyphean folly
Moonwalking backwards to
The abysmal depths of dream
Mind your step in this valley
They may lead you into fools
Paradise in which we stand 
Up for strangers we have never met
Assume guilty before proven innocent
And take pride in our stupidity
While kicking sand in the faces
Of our daily saviours and graces
Spittle on the floor that holds us up
From the pits of fire and pressure
Like we have never known
Apart from when in that fleeting second
When we see ourselves in the mirror
Natural born sinner
Natural torn beginner
Be mindful of your thoughts
And watchful of your feelings
If you are not careful they
Will have you enslaved
Doting the loveless
Dabbing the stain of truth
With an inky blot of lies
Cover up the screaming inside
With excited self confident times
