"Burnt Aqua"



I can taste the sun
on my tongue
it spills down 
my throat
like burnt aqua
healing the beating frisson

I am ebony inside
shading in my shadow world
some somnolent soul
waking from slumber’s dream dance 
a small death in life 
questioning the reason in romance

dark suede and cat like
I wait out time watching
nights and days pass 
through the silver crystal glass
long stemmed I am like grass slowly waving 
around the growing ghost frame

snow white in a cellophane doll box

waiting to be wound up
kissed through the frost
woken from a bad passe past
weaving different stories
gone on the eyes,
wasted on deaf ears

bookmarked 
between leaves of 
Arden Forest green
heard but not seen 
music notes catnip
for the untouched unreal

cooling the purring engine
of my rolls royce heart
the doll maker is light 
pulling the strings 
tinkering and stitching
tightly back up 

the empty
unanswered
dry questions 
inside the 
subsiding
me

where is the cardinal red ambrosia
love notes unfurling o'er budding wild roses 
underground I am drunk in,
wrapped in a glove of rich soil
the  metronome has stopped
the dancing voice bestilled 

beetles keep me company

the mind trapped 
in Autumn’s thorns
bloody valentines
gone all murderous
burnt aqua turns 
to brine tincture 

curling itself 
around the twisted roots
catching me up in the 
thirsty circles in a tree 
the history a sharp point
like a record groove crackling 

over the many fragments of me

salty marmalade 
burnt bitter
spread out 
on your picnic table
Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe 
disappearing without noise unperturbed 

what was once gold 
on the surface
now reversing in depth 
green copper composite 
oxygen gives breath to turquoise 
an adornment in death

rust, ashes and dust 
within the cracked earth of me
eyes like moonstones 
watching the events unravel calmly
the brittle bones dissolving slowly
an abstraction easily forgotten

a new painting 
macabre masterpiece

six feet under 
vast fields of tombstones 
prison kept memories
nettles and purple lantana 
trampled and overgrown
by nubile fresh stories

a bouquet of budding black tulips 
gifted for the dearly departed 

overhead -

the nightingales and bluebirds 
Salon des Refusés
forever black crowing 
paradoxically ignorant and all knowing
tie ribbons of scarlet 
around trees for the lost dead

the sky cries
the soft burn of rain falls
on the heads of habitual sisters 
congregated mauve dreams 
once fashionistas 
now silver fox curls 

once was a girl
the skeletal dreams call

unaware walking feet
echo above me 
percussion beats 
topside the written line
like soft velvet drums
demanding 

I am anchored 
below the grassy sea,
the view is commanding

worms peeling me
like a sweet tangerine 

I am soul birthing 
a new phantom 
in this perilous magic
something kind and kindred 
whispers in the lost child’s ear.

“this is the ghost 
of the once was escaping”;

haunted, 
she hears

she feels me
in the Summer breeze

"Colours dance before our eyes 
starbursts take us up and down 
through tunnels 
rollercoaster rides home - 
sex, love, birth, death, 
all through spectral colours, 
life sensual senses something electric, 
close and far away, 
in the green and blue dance."
