most daylight hours of the year for
people living the northern hemisphere.
Just shy of high noon sun (less than

Humanity
The pagan pilgrimage, sun-worshippers frequently make
Latter-day phenomenon, take off on a Bronze Age break
Constellations change position, solstices realign
Tropic of Capricorn peaks, Cancer starts its slow decline
Astrologers reassure us, the end is not bespoke
Astronomers can’t sleep, has a supernova awoke?
Healthy cells deconstruct inexorably from their core
Runaway chain reactions, laying waste forever more
Be that as it must, cosmic cataclysms generate thrust
Comets are slightly nudged, on a collision course with us?
Ancients believed them omens, wraiths of impending slaughter
Those billion ton tailed curveballs, catalysed Earth with water
Modern man searches for answers, drowning in misnomers
Melding PhD honours, with chatbot E-diplomas
Teleporting entangled particles, throws back a hack
Time travelling marvel, rewinds the real Bronze Age back?
Absurdness seems lame, yet concomitantly germane
Hawking conserved energy, by merely using his brain
Newton had a bachelors, kept him celibate stable
He’d balls of steel for sure, alas no bearings on that cradle?
Information cannot be destroyed, only zeitgeists can
Synthesised is truth, in the malleable hands of man
Life’s more delicate, gravitas hidden behind a smile
Like tales that flightless birds, buried heads in denial
Ostriches evolved kick-ass legs, and win the biped race
They dig shallow pits in sand, not complex black holes in space
One squawked this revelation before zooming off to die:
“Humankind’s the sole species, with good reason to ask why”?
Come out with me in the shadowtime,
Dance together in slow rhythms
Sensuality crawling over our flesh
As we feed one another
On the rich fare of warm dreams
Dredged up from the dark
To consume ourselves in strong caresses,
Our touch afire with tenderness.
Become one with me
While the stars' splintered light
Drifts down to earth untroubled
By its crossing of that black and limitless void
Be one with me
While the bright cold light
Falls off the ragged face of the moon
Down to this side of the world
Calling out the beings of the night
To attend to their quiet affairs.
Not without some shade of former glories
Fell those who stood with Lucifer;
As the brightest stars give up their light
In cataclysms vast and silent,
So passed they below,
From light eternal to darkness supreme.
Sometimes it stands alike with mortal men,
Creatures at once divine and diabolic,
We accidents of Fate,
Beauteous monstrosities,
Mysteries to ourselves.
Glories hide within our disgraces,
As do dishonors in our victories.
We are Creation's Terror
We save or destroy
With directionless power and minds undisciplined.
So come out with me into the shadowtime
To mingle formless passions
To fill the hungry spaces of our hearts,
Raveling in our humanity
As we devour desire
Mating body to mind
Sewing together the shuddering fabric of dreams
Beneath the fragile, tenuous light crawling close
To the wet ground at the burning edge of the day.
Come Out With Me
Come out with me in the shadowtime,
Where we'll dance together in rhythms slow,
Sensuality crawling slow, delightful across our flesh
Feeding on one another
On the rich fare of warm dreams
Dredged up from the dark
Consuming ourselves in strong caresses
Touches afire with tenderness.
Make love with me
While the splintered light of the stars
Drifts down to Earth untroubled
By its crossing of the infinite black void
Make love with me
While the bright cold light
Falling off the ragged face of the moon
Illumines our side of the world,
Calling forth the beings of the night
To attend to their silent affairs.
Not without some shade of former glory
Fell the angels who stood with Lucifer,
As the brightest stars, giving up their existences
In flaming cataclysms, vast and soundless,
So did they pass Below,
From Light Eternal to Darkness Supreme.
Even so it stands with mortal men,
Creatures at once Divine and Diabolic
Strange accidents of Fate,
Beauteous monstrosities,
Mysteries to ourselves.
Glories ring even in the midst of our disgraces,
Dishonors too, within our victories.
We are the terror of Creation,
We save or destroy
With power undirected
Minds undisciplined.
So come out into the shadowtime with me,
To mingle formless passions
Filling in the hungry spaces in our hearts;
Reveling in our young humanity
Devouring our desires, mating
Bodies and minds
Sewing together the shuddering fabric of dreams,
That fragile, tenuous light crawling close,
So close to ground at the burning edge of the day.

Rejuvenating Proof
Counteroffensive cataclysms clamouring for defeat
Apprehensive magnetism that makes you feel complete
Comprehensive pragmatism that can sometimes drain and deplete
Recompensive vandalism that leaves you shocked in disbelief
Magnitudes of profound truths that create wisdom for the wise
Terpitudes that are uncouth and crawl around in unethical disguise
Servitudes that hold no proof but are doomed to eventual demise
Platitudes that contain the youth and distort the facts in front of their eyes
Laying on my back I look up toward the blistering sun
Praying for you to take it back as I feel inclined to run
Saying we’re living in times of lack would be understating the sum
Weighing up what has been in fact a loss of delight, joy and fun
Weaponisation of justice that could have gone for more
Legalisation of an armistice as the world prepares for war
Devitalisation of the harvest while we cannot feed the poor
Dehumanisation of the inquest as we ask what all of this is for?
Calcification of an idolisation that was devoid of substance and truth
Calibrations of animations that are manipulating the youth
Altercations of communications that are needed to prove the proof
Imitations of aggravations that require a detective and a sleuth
Rejuvenating the landscape from the environmental degradation
Captivating the escape route as they apply for abdication
Hallucinating the magnetic tape that restricts the aggravation
Ruminating on the holy saint that depicts the consecration

Above the earth, the world of bitter wars and discord,
littered with broken promises and great oppressions,
glows a serene peace park, undisturbed by time;
people love to sing songs about it and imagine it
a divine sphere, reach it one day and roam around
free from earth's treasons, home to poets, philosophers,
statesmen, who brought only division and disorder.
Up there, above the earth, in the space between here and there,
lies the essence of existence, safely removed from the earth's
cataclysms, and the space explorers who want to conquer more
territory, just as their forefathers did in the new world, thinking nature
is for our picking, parodying peace.
Maintain serenity, don't look down, sign reads.
Chaos and order;
I reside where the strings do not dare wrap around me. I am the thing that shelters comfortably under your carpet, whilst I wink at the fairy living underneath your pillow.
I am the atrocity that delves into its own existence and allows for question. Consume thy enemy, prolapse the expansion of the hereditary downfall of genetics whilst I, watch.
Growing ever more spiteful with every being I see collapse before me. I am the twine in your spine. I am the sheets you do not wash. I am the blood that spills graciously amongst generations-over nothing more than who’s feet get to fall first, on that land.
I am the thing that lies in the shadows. I am the slumber of a million cataclysms that are yet to awaken. I am the tragedy of love and betrayal.
I am the rose that dies with a million thorns wrapped around so, cutting deeper with every question you have about love being unanswered. Every cry of a friend dying on the battlefield.
I am the memory you tremble before in the murder of the night. I am the witch you smite when you cannot accept the malevolent around you. I am the creature you call upon with every legend you make of children who lurk into the woods.
I am the wolf that knows not, of what flock should be spared and which shall be consumed. I am the kindle in the flames, the spindle of a woman’s meddle to find the perfect fabric.
I am the splinter in the timber. That incessant cry out for pain. I am the relinquished magnitude you try to display before your innocent mind.
I am Chaos, I am Order. I am You.
