Keep Calm

Keep Calm
Keep Calm


centreI gulp I gasp I choke I chant
Only to be saved by a swallow
I hypnotize I hypocrisies I dream I deny
Only when officiating the mourning of mornings

my body balances : my mind meanders..

I exercise my anxiety I clothe I meditate my mind
The performance presents the participation of a pause
I show case stage fright I sequester I summon the night
The time the tyranny the tick tock tick the torment

My mind misplaced : My body embraced

I whisper I procrastinate
I sleep I sleepwalk
I sleep
I slumber>

The Chaos of Us

You  look  at  me  and       I   g e  t     l    o    s     t
You look lost               
                      You STAND before me in lust
                      I lay down below you in love
 
 I talk  too much.............. 
                    I      l   o   n   g  for  you to listen 
                                   Instead I hear a DEAFENING silence                                                               
You  stutter a  staccato..    s i g h
 
   We volunteer play pretend prisoners....... s e e k i n g
To    navigate   stay     captivated……     until      
               Escaping through a [hidden] trap door    
 Freedom forfeits reason and the ransom that was you and me
 
                  ‘he’ stands before ‘she’
                        Misunderstanding “me”

  She lies she forgets                     The truth he remembers
 
           The news about us
                         Rewinds as we watch….
              You preview a forecast.... de je vous….......
                                                Pause.. my predictions - press replay
 
I will not harden my heart-sow the seeds to soften your soul
 
                    You    rescue    me   -    I        save          you

The   danger   in   you   deploys  the  safety   in   me

           And then finally you see…………………………
                               you finally see                                       me.....

Run Run Run

Run run run rapidly readily rigorously
Reaching roads rivers railways
Run run run rough remote rambling routes
Realizing regret remorse remain redundant
Run run run re-evaluating racing rituals
Remaining respectful responsible  relaxed
Run run run repetitively run run run repeatedly

Woman

The mechanical components, the valve that pumps my heart 
The reactive nerve endings that serve a sensory stimulus 
The tear ducts that latently only lend lubrication 
The silly little practical necessary body bits, pieces and parts 
 
I yawn & it reminds me…  I should probably inhale & exhale 
I smile because it is simply facial muscles that need exercise 
I do mechanical muscle  management to strengthen & maximise 
Biomechanical body’s like mine don’t simply go frail.. 
 
My skin surface is stimulated, & sympathetically constricts.. it must be cold? 
My mental function set to maintain a neutral base 
My muscles, skeletal system, ligaments, tendons & bony structures 
Encapsulated by a mechanised myofascial web, complete the outer mould 
 
Organs operate internally as a well serviced engine, its all systems go 
Emotions just pesky little hormone imbalances, from a time long ago 
Where we as woman once needed in order to reproduce 
Will evolution shrink our ovaries as they have outgrown their use? 
 
My tongue embraces words, my tongue the sharpened sword 
I trip stumble & fall and my senses heighten 
My pelvic floor constricts & I feel it twitch & tighten 
I massage the distressed muscles & release multiple rewards 
 
 
It’s my body, it’s my temple, my vessel my machine 
Not some sensitive, high strung weak inferior copy of a male 
It is supple, soft and silky to the touch, all curves & contours 
It’s my body, it’s my temple, my vessel my machine……

Teach Them To Trust

Thoughts travel tenaciously through tunnels 
Taking torpedoing trains to transcend time
Tempting tongues to talk to tittle tale
Twisting the truths in tones that tire

Telling trifling tit-bits that titillate
Transgressing tolerance that threatens
the tranquility that tension transports
Transforming trust transposing trepidation

These thoughts translate to treachery
Trespassing temperance taxing temerity
Terminate these turbulent trivial tributes
these trademarks they traffic tragedy 

Teach themes that target the truth
Tutor those to try train them to tolerate 
Treatise the triumphs that transpire
Transcript the treatment therapeutically

Pastime

Paint pretty pictures peacefully 
Paddle past ports paddocks – places panoramic 
Peruse prospects pending play 
Plan perceive possible plots 
     

Pander persuade people precociously 
Promising provocative plans persuasively 
Propose patrons participation piquantly 
Provide platforms permitting passion 
  

Paradoxical pleasures permeate pleasingly 
Participants partake pander panache 
Paradigms preempt paradise pleasantly 
Post-postmortems provide perchance possibilities 
     

Present portray peaceful poise 
Poignantly permit passing promises 
Pledge pitch permit pipe-dreams 
Pilot phenomenal pleasing performances

Storm In a Teacup

Silence does a reconnaissance around the room 
betraying not my artillery of thoughts
that acknowledge the elephant in the room 
so starts the ceremony that seeks to save soldiers

body language begins to breakdown barriers 
as actions march in motion anticipating
the ritual of tea that takes centre stage 
tactically open to observation and interrogation

all actions organised to be economically efficient
calibrated by the infra red eye of the guest
animosity surrenders respectfully and retreats
a ceasefire that allows peace to deploy and enter

steam captivates a tea cup holding it hostage
watching whilst water wages war on leaves
cajoling caressing domineering them to 
release  and surrender their secrets and serve

with military precision this tea sets in motion
a tour of duty washing away all detachment
reminding us to deploy civilized actions
that counter attack collateral damage

the tea ceremony symbolically strategises 
and ambushes all thoughts of war away
quenching the thirst for covert operations
once again a creating coup d'etat in a cup

Fite Nite

He enters the Dojo all fists of fury
Whilst I sit - all judge and jury
He wears that stupid Ohm tattoo
That reminds me of you


He wants to be part of my team
And live every fighters dream
Only there is no medal to win
And you’ll enter a life of sin


But he is young and brave
And his soul I cannot save
He has heard I can fight
And that my bark is worse than my bite


He knows how I broke my rib
And keeps my secret fib
I need to make his mind strong
If to this clan he wants to belong


I push his body to the extreme
He proves himself part of the team
Blood sweat and tears
He slowly overcomes his fears

 
Today is fight night
I keep him in my sight
Tonight he is my man
Alas it is all part of a plan


Time old story, they all want fame
Victory against their name
Forgetting their limited use
For now which I will abuse

Dinner Date

Bring all your revenges to the table
Sit them down and serve them well
Crystal cut glass, French Champagne
And listen to the stories that they will tell

Place guilt across from regret
Whilst heartbreak and sin reacquaint
Thoughts starched up cotton napkins
Dine with both the sinner and the saint

Lies like locust swarms spelt in sentences on the menu
Anger boils over erupts spoiling the setting
Ego attempts a humble hasty intervention
But memories x-ray sharp prevent forgetting

Tensions trek arduously around this table
Whilst fear scavenges for dirty little secrets
Elusive emotion makes an elegant appearance
Upping the ante, everyone taking side bets

I thought I heard someone call my name
It was coward hiding behind the door post
How could I not go to his aid?
I really must leave and assist him, after all I am the host

Soul Searching

I meandered through the muddy Mekong
Searched in sultry sexy Saigon
Ravished in the Cat Thien Rain forest
Yet I still could not find you

I found myself haunted in Hong Kong
Caught up in the cacophony of China
Trailed my way thoughts to Taiwan
And still I could not find you

I jostled and jaunted through Japan
Hoping Kyoto would hold my Karma
It only got me caught up in Korea
And still I could not find you

So I backtracked and got tormented in Thailand
Which had me pondering Penang
Hoping you would be caught in Kuala Lampur
Yet still I could not find you

I searched for you in the East
Hoping to calm my inner beast
Believing my inner mind to be true
That maybe one day - I'll find you...
