Catapult
"CATAPULT"
fire from
the Hell
within
lit the heart
fuelling
the drowned soul
warming
the cold hole
left within
to bury
the ignorance
of the past
strength comes
from travelling
to Hell
battling
black
hearts
all the unseen
murderers of dreams
in their pristine prisons
cry alone clean
when they turn
over to the right side
of a bed
empty
from all those lost years
there are tears
and pain not seen
laid bare,
alone,
all those years
white knights
do not exist in a final sell
surrounded by a forest
broken in
a girl writes stories
and sends dreams
from a
Blue Mountain
immersed in Winter
walking quiet bucolic streets
dripping
heavy
in mystery
within the mist of clouds
and tears from heaven
stories sent in an envelope
to a well-hidden forest
marked
213893
final stops, at 4.
Sunny Corner Road
another closed door
counting in reverse
Long Bay eats up
a child's days
55 The Links
another address mustered
for time
hearts sink further
away from the sharks
in silver water
or was it
park lea
she's out of the kissing loop
every day
the train
leaves the 3 sisters at 3
ecstatic calliope
passes Faulconbridge
Lindsay paints her heart
beatles call for prudence
magic puddings
memories come out to play
hearts scarred
and scattered
who would know,
they are never seen
they are always hidden
bad dreams
more than chance
flames the urge
to remove oneself
from the dance
of distance,
shielding
what needed to be saved
first and foremost
sent off like Moses
reluctantly pushed away
in a basket case
woven into her story
the other
reads words
with bluff indifference
always
behind her
Wonder Girl mask
Seniority saving
what was torn to shreds
messages hidden
in photo frames
on an alter
now burnt offerings
banshee turns
her back
submerged in silence
to begin again
loads the catapult
with Love’s true intent
break down
them gates
get you out of here
stuck in the loop
complex city 'scape
watching the small Empire Fall
from an
all too safe
harbour
Following the headlights
a rocky road to
Hill End
memories
gold ghosts
recalled
The traveller
Buries the photo
Closes the door.
Walks forward to a future
embraces the
Catapult
Shot like
a blazing meteor
Fast Forward
