Where She Is

Where She Is

Beyond the bountiful horizon,
Where the mellow mountains,
Kiss dappled sunlit sky,
She waits without burden,
Drinking from ample waters,
Nourishing calendar eternal,
Where curtains move as the,
Graceful dancer as per our,
Dusky portion until morning,
Where she waits with freedom,
Our days span longingly,
Broken prophetic movements,
Glissading haplessly like infants,
While cautioned tempers harken,
Towards untold dreams,
Let me cross the river hence,
Bring the bows of toil,
Lay them on your table,
Where the sunlight meets the ocean.

The Commonplace

31/8/2018

Passage

Wonder, wander,
Lost and ponder,
Celebrate,
The commonplace,
You're stronger,
Milk dew, horse hair,
Something new,
Something fair,
Break the bread,
Pour the brew,
Sing the songs,
Reveal the truth,
Watch the skies,
See them fly,
Brothers and sisters,
On magic and wine,
Spread the word,
Lick the leaf,
Drink the curds,
And sleep beneath,
We wild and few,
We and you,
Light to the moon,
Truth in the tune,
Say no spell of wickedness,
Say no words of woe,
Bring us into clarity,
So in peace, we go.

Ever Seen A Bug?

18/8/2018

Madeleine LadyBug Toon Print

Ever seen a bug on its back?
Kicking and kicking,
Stuck on its wingcase,
Prone to predator attack,
The frantic manoeuvres,
Of little stick legs in the air,
Oddly angled and strangely,
Covered in little hairs,
Have you ever felt like this?
No matter what you do,
The traction isn't there?
It's useless to try,
Swimming in the air,
Not going anywhere,
Like the little insect,
You may be upside-down,
Not on your back in the literal sense,
But with the thinking in your head,
Perhaps it's perception,
That needs to be addressed,
Refocus attention,
On where your power lies,
Take a good look at the world,
With wide open eyes,
Bend the spoon,
Do it soon,
And it could just be your moon.

A Little Bit Of Cheeky's Alright

Summer Creature

A Little Bit Of Cheeky's Alright

It's not good to gawk,
Point, prod, and squawk,
But a little bit of cheeky's alright,
It's bad news to fib,
Even if it tickles your ribs,
And it's best not to call names,
When people aren't the same,
What they think, what they like, what they wear,
Even if it makes you a bit scared,
But a little bit of cheeky's alright,
Don't do things to hurt,
Make awkward or absurd,
But a little bit of cheeky's alright,
Don't always be the boss,
Telling people off,
For things that you don't like,
And don't tell people to do things,
You wouldn't do yourself,
Or that might give someone a fright,
No causing trouble,
No bursting bubbles,
But a little bit of cheeky is all right.

Rise

1/8/2018

sun rise poster

Through those grubby low echelons,
In which those who could never rise,
Bubble and boil in their mental cauldrons,
Splattering detritus thanks to their anger,
At secretly knowing they've not cut the mark,
So they spew and throw freedom of speech,
To the tennis courts of demented wolves,
Through those filthy corridors of power,
Wipe yourself clean young man,
Else your cloak will resemble their colours.

Love Blind

8/7/2018

Where is charity,
In these dark days of scorn,
What could it be,
Within posture forlorn,
Words stot teeth.
For such secret cause,
Emotional egg release,
For thought no pause,
Lifting prayers to clouds,
Reading paper scripts,
Bring home the sound,
Of Jericho from its crypts,
Motion with a candle,
Signify portioned mind,
Lay 'neath the coromandel,
And yield to passing time.

Overlap

Mage Within

Hush, now it is morning for spirits,
Epochal memories in tapestry with,
Sudden enticing underlayers conducted,
In spillages of drifting weft,
Resurrected in half-way houses,
Bereft in a passion for once being,
Now in part of a larger mystery,
Breaking waves upon war-tents,
Fluttering banners flickering flames,
Could they even see each other passing,
By the distant moonlight and rabble,
Of children playing ball games,
Just before the present moment,
When this phantasmagoric wind licks,
Tingles in between fingers,
Where sand particles cling momentarily,
Like gripping wishes refusing to be released,
However movement will never stand still.

Plea To Nature

18/6/2018

Gentle Garden

Take this withered spirit,
Brush the detritus cradle,
Away into indigo fires,
Luminous perpetual winds,
Blowy nourishing heat,
Nocturnal sweet aroma,
By moonlit song before,
The moment of writing,
A pause in broken silence,
Waiting from the eyes,
Into restless hikes within,
Living rooms and kitchens,
Mix these phantoms while,
Foraging the gold-pits,
Remarking the crunch of sticks,
From a memory forgotten,
Cordial embrace and final,
Piece to a puzzle,
Slipped in the pocket,
Form a blessing,
Bring sanctuary for light,
Let it vigour and curdle,
While spinning true reason,
To make the binding of life,
Virtuous.

Britain is Broken

5/6/2018

Fragile Glory Poster

Take a look at our nation,
This green and pleasant place,
Island in the sea,
A time for contemplation,
Heartfelt chatter face to face,
Over cups of tea,
As it may be traditionally,
So may it continue on like this,
Friendly you and me,
So why is it apparent,
That the schools are up in arms,
Establishing inner calm,
Doing the best they can,
All the while the cracks grow larger,
Seeping with our stress,
And the benefits system mess,
Where emotional well-being isn't scored,
At all,
Leading to death,
Suicides are on the rise,
It could happen to you,
So what are we going to do?
We can't catch a train so,
Stand and watch as the rich get richer,
Paying no tax and pointing blame at you,
The insecure and helpless,
Volatile personalities and,
The unworking blameless,
Our cadence has fallen,
Like the blindfold of Lady Justice,
Wowed by riches and words,
Appalled at the condition of mind,
Expressed by the long term neglected,
And angry,
While they massacre the trees,
Bringing Britain to its knees,
Pushing Brexit like a sick joke,
The laugh's on you all,
Politics doesn't define truth,
Only human rights,
And while they've been fiddling with ours,
The abomination of austerity,
Scrooge in the face of Tiny Tim,
Forced into work.

Captives of Creation

29/5/2018

Toltec

With these captives of creation,
Penal jungles carry soundcraft,
More fractures than will to address,
So forlorn shadows grow their depths,
Could all the rage in utopia,
Reason a cure in its chains?
Would the shepherd stand from the flock,
And say here I am?
Borders can make order on paper,
Boys and girls continue in ratios of virtue,
Either side of a swinging gate,
Now as noise assists the dismantlement,
Menacing strains protrude like candle litter,
Beneath a shady shelf of dust, paper,
And pastel coloured labels.
