"Free Falling"
You have to believe in Magic
to believe in the poetry of You
If you don’t believe in Magic
you are nothing but a black line
bleeding to the right creative,
without left margin
for logical analysis,
you’re fixed invisible screwed
a tree
with no leaves
a forest
with no trees
stories with no substance
for diving into fresh air
free falling
you find yourself hitting cement pavements
you become a
chalk drawing
no colour
nor depth
just a tired feather no song
falling forever
in the go nowhere
second dimension
cold cut and dull pressed
dead, through and through
hard, thin and sharp
you think you are economical
You are empty pockets
with no clue
Life is a game of scrabble
sentences scored and kept by war worn readers
You are caged
with false truth and mistakes are cooked
charred
burnt
you become
tough like mutton
You ignore fair-weather friends
and those with parochial good clean advice
You watch in slow motion
Judge and jury who throw at you
The Good Book
In Nyx’s
Black Ocean
then with a jeering smile
the good parish
collect you in a cup
and throw you with their loaded dice
onto His
(which really means Their)
Monopoly Board
Safe is forever
when long sentences are not remembered
and you swallow the key
when it should have passed from your tongue to me
The tip of your tongue
like a burning wand
tickles me nonchalantly
in my wayward dreams
Just a scorched
memory
Honesty is
like a dead black star
passed from you to me
you disappeared,
I became a banal soliloquy
Lost with bluff and
with lack of trust Lost
In Life’s mound
of screwed-up sawdust
Life is a mirror
two sides
See me
See you
Touch hand to heart
Touch heart to hand
Life is a mirror
two sides
See you
See me
In eyes reflected
ordinary words
dull and banal
ordinary words
in an ordinary world
Without magic nothing born
Without magic nothing cured
The Magic in the Poetry of You
has the power to make all dreams come true
He said
She said
“You are a glitch “
Life repeats
BELIEVE
repeats Life
She said
He said
BELIEVE
Life Repeats Life
Repeats Life Repeats
those minus people darling
are a glitch living in a lost world
They’re drowning
in shades of the dullest Grey not Blue
You are seeking
Opal or Pearl
and as they sink,
they reach for truth
they reach
out to you
You are standing in deep Blue
The Magic is imprinted
somewhere deep in the darkest deep
in the
Poetry of You

This time of year is hard on many
There can be sadness and sorrow
You are not alone
You are never alone
