Bring Me To Peace

when the truth arrived
 enveloped, it was November
 
and at the inception 

standing quiet
 the rags of innocence
 were ripped from my eyes 

I mourned what never was 

grasping at
 this breech of faith
 both hands reached
 and disappeared
 into the vapour,
 where once
 you laid to rest
 
paper fluttered down
 
I hadn’t realised
 I had given more
 than I intended
 never seeing the game
 that was played
 in the shadows
 of the day 

my life-force was attained
 
belief in humanity
 suffered and shattered
 from the burn
 of this betrayal,
 paranoia sits with me
 hand in hand 

my fingers tapped out the tune 

as the veracity of this
 deception,
 was validated
 time and time again 

So I am not mad
 but grieving


To Sir With Gratitude

fair glinting gold

                   light shining bold

                        this I saw

                     for my 'flaw' is to be

                     not of your world

              Into the breech I was hurled

                   before your times were told

              ere I was an aeon old

              I changed Universes - yet

                 here, I was in darkness jet.

                    when again I rose

                    in biped pose

              to complete the task
 
                began, before your form thought to ask

                       Whence came we here?

              Your light came just in time

                 shimmered thru deepest despair

             A human mind gave to me

              a beckoning seed of desire to see

                  another day, in limited heartlost society

                Whence before  was only my desire to flee.

Range Stew

All lined up
In a single c rank
Twenty two cans of beer fit
Inside the barrel of a tank,
And driving a tank
Is an exhilarating thrill?
But at times you can’t?
Avoid some road kill.
Cookie comes behind
And what does he do?
Guts and chops and slices?
For a nice Range Stew.

When you’re tired and hungry
And really needing to eat
You gobble down the stew
Because meat is meat is meat.
And when its spiced
And cooked up well
A mouth starts watering
Just at the smell.
Just making sure
No Rupert is near
Off to the breech for
A few cans of beer

Range stew is fine when 
Washed down with ale
And by and large they all
Live to tell the tale.
Given the choice
It wouldn’t be range stew;
When you’re tired and hungry
Any food at all will do.
Tired and replete
All give thanks
For the cans of beer that fit
Down the barrel of a tank.

My Veteran Cavalry friends insist this is true, so thanks Hobbo, Dave R and Harry for the inspiration.

Premium Member Borrowed Courage

We went to the darkest places to explore our fear, the alleys and the cemeteries where the trees were thickest and the light dwindled to nothing. We did not go alone walking on the cusp of bravery but led each other dare upon dare to breech each chasm. We knew the day and the places that lay in the periphery of our courage. But the night brought us fright served on trays of vulnerability, teasing us with magnifications of sound and dimness of vision, feeding and freeing the spark of imagination into flames of fear. Children have within themselves the greater fires of the dragons mouth and seeds of whispered voices with words of darker deeds. What lies within much worse than what is real. For all the evils ever wrought are children born from the same potential mother. The spark of imagination that creates both Gods and Devils. The place where we are awakened to answer the call of our own memorized voices. With borrowed courage we become the green of newer grasses, grown around empty bronze helmets long fallen to the ground.

Premium Member harbor snow

I watch the harbor through the falling snow
the sky and sea form one vast, gray tableau
the sun is nothing but a weak, background glow
the scene draws me, as if hypnotically.

Five mile’s lighthouse warnings go unvoiced
its strobes not lashing out, so what’s its point
it stands majestically but disappoints
replaced electronically

A tiny lobster boat makes its landward way
towards the inlet from the wider channel bay
a powdery blizzard is underway
which melts into the mirror sea.

Ospreys still hunt round the lobsterman's pride
snowflakes stain them as they soar and glide
other seabirds huddle side by side
shivering and crowing lividly.

Through the narrows the lonely boat steams
past icy Luddington Rock and East Breakwater's breech
its berths and moorings, within minutes reach
and sadly, it’s time for me to leave.

Premium Member I, Zombie, Part X: the Proclaiming

I am the Zombie
The Monster is my master
He’s the creator
	
The Zombie I am
Numbed-out, Psycho-extremer
Daemon demeanor

The Zombie I be
Doppelganger controls me
My animator

I be the Zombie
I can be me no longer
While Monster’s stronger

Zombie, Zombie, me
Husband, Wife, Father, Mother
Sister, Friend, Brother…

I, Zombie’s my name
The Monster takes center stage
Rage outside the cage

I go by Zombie
The Doppelganger has me
Once more in the breech

Zombie is my name
It’s my lonely claim to fame
I’m only the same

The Monster’s my frame
And my Daemon knows no shame
As he stakes his claim

Don’t know the reason
Must be their hunting season
Their hounds are legion

Me the Monster stakes
Both my mind and soul it takes
Help me for Heaven’s sake!

Daemon takes human
Doppelganger assumin’
My body through man

There is no saving
As I’m ranting and raving
It’s the proclaiming…

Premium Member Awake

A moment is a minute with a heart, after which 
We come without arched brow, lips pursed 
To breech a breath amidst all stolen air. 
Removing only proof of thought 
For sustenance of life. 
No key, the unlocked door, 
Through which a passageway of lending gifts, 
Leads to open airs of longing space. 
We may catch the passing breath 
Of all those lives blown near,
Leave simple fruit unripened 
Far beyond our scope, be as mortals 
Left to nighttime’s touch upon all seeking souls. 
Scratched by hunger for the need of understanding.
Then our moment closes. The only God we ever knew 
Just blinked one more time.

Better Is Giving Back

I'm better for the pain I've caused
I rise above it all
I unwind and circumvent
I tend to the breech that I have rent
Give me mine, break the mask
Tell me you will take it back
Better is - giving back, Better is - giving back

I have deprived those I love
I have been away
I have despaired all of hope
I am soul / feel my sway
I am Spirit, I am Life
If the truth is we all will fall then who will rise
Take my place; there's no one there
I've seen it all from afar
Take theses battles, take these scars
Maybe they will help you too
Take the stars in the night
If you can count them then you can count my pain
Oh Lord hold me down
Tell me this life is over now

My heart is ice, it's cold has hell
This is the day when hell freezes over
Switch from a sweet voice I'm a completely different person
Yea the previous verses were wrote from prison
And If you care to notice the difference
I make a parrerral and I slam down a perpendicular 
Now foothills rise up the size of the Appalachian mountains
Betters giving back but I'm gonna give it how they gave it me
Now spies have been compromised 
People go to college and they still perish for a lack knowledge
The Government don't give a damn about the people
Every since George Washington there ain't never been a man to meet his equal

Valentine's Slam

A centric couple

Echanging different coloured roses

Holding hands with vice like grip

Earth betwix their curling toes

Beneath a moonlight torn astray

With such so birthed exploding hearts

It even stirs the deaf neighbours

And labours love

Valentine poison arrow breech

Still hidden in the shadowy hall's

Of old school gym lockers

Now used as passwords

That scar to this day

Because

They are a cold reminder

Of what it was like growing up

Deemed to be never worthy 

Of 1 single solitary flower bought
Nor
Valentine's card written

Hopefully better late than never

Something's are wasted on the young

And are worth waiting for

And mean so much more

When the right time

And the right person comes along

White Feathers Sprayed Red

We war with impunity

And weaponise such things as the 
beauty of flowers

And all for what ?

When come today we have to guard the statues and Cenotaph that commemorate our fallen heroes

Only for them to suffer in death the indignity of being treated with such contempt for the very same right's and freedom they gave their lives for

You student's
You self effacing intellects
You political prophet's

You protest
You gather 
You march
Underneath your slogan or banner 
in righteous indignation of your cause

Such bravery
Such charity
Such courage
Such sacrifice

Once more into the breech
the rallying cry to those
with spray can in hand to vandalize
under the cover of dark with face hidden behind a bandana

I doubt their is anything you would be willing to lay 
your life down for apart from maybe your computer and internet access 

So next time you log on do yourself a favour and research
your family history and see if any of your family members
lost there lives and think there but for the grace of god go i

These statues and monuments are not supposed to justify or glorify war the complete opposite in fact they are
to remind us of the futility and human cost
but most importantly of all the cause Millions of people
deemed worthy dying for

I wonder if year's to come
how you will be viewed by history

Will people gather to commemorate you
build a statue in your honour
be you remembered by a bank holiday 

Or will you hopefully end up instead being a
footnote in a museum

Entitled

When you don't understand your history

And talk before you listen

You run before you can walk
