Ephemeral Laments of Technicality

Qualifications of a criminal mind
Magnifications of virtue in all of mankind
Qauntifications of meaning you cannot seem to find
Fractal notations in dreaming that you’d never leave behind

Geometric cubism born of Platonic Solids
Ego-centric hubris...

Crocheting needles waved her fingers from a self-disclosed mind

Texture and pattern set lines like predictive text and autocorrect

Wool over her eyes would know how to stitch up her soul-scape

No matter whether blanket or poncho woollen...

There are meanderings who itch and creep
    To fill my night with dread.
There are cataclysms where I cringe and cower
    That are better left unsaid
And there's an apparition to...

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...

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...

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...

Come out with me in the shadowtime,
Dance together in slow rhythms
Sensuality crawling over our flesh
As we feed one another

Dredged up from the dark
To consume ourselves in strong caresses,

The world in our hands would impair devils
An unthinking thought more blissful
Than a wish fulfilling shooting star

Our missions would be charted out
To go on our victory dance one step at a time
For peacefully unifying the...

"to hold, as 'twere, the mirror up to nature" William Shakespeare, Hamlet, 1601

forest dwellers born before Christ’s time on Earth
spreading arms to lofty heights
dwellings provided in hollow, cave-like trunks

Unforgotten dreams flow deep from within.
Forsaken beliefs drown in sorrow from sin.
Our hearts are hardened without faith and belief.
We will lose more freedoms, before any relief.
Traffic stops but continues to hide the truth, we seek.

It traveled at my side
for decades, unassuming
demanding nothing while I,
only mildly discontent, began
again the search for words
to trigger cataclysms of the mind
designed for me to revel in.

What other deep significance
affords an ordinary man
the vision that...

Simplicity
   for today
in the light
of His existence.
invisible but liberating

everything
that separates
     man from self
in
a  permanent home
avoiding
abandonment

   discovering
things
forward
  backwards
collections
of
cataclysms
reign forever

dying
 silent
valid

the desire to live
sheltered
from the storms
a
normal existence
intelligence
&a skill
sans
risk
on
this mysterious
path
bitterness
dies

 a way back
for
inhabitants
outside
 of themselves

motionless
a
place of eternity
glimmers
 glimpsed
for a moment
then hidden
but
He is
 still alive
to those
   who
turn back

& confess

 will find Him
&
see the reality
of
      I am
in whom
the new life flows
 to
the reborn

a chance
 of new birth
necessary
for
the living
to

Some say I have a way with words when truly most words have their way with me

And yes, I adore them best without any tautology

Caressing my psyche causing me to purr

Evoking emotions I never knew...

Above the earth, the world of bitter wars and discord,
littered with broken promises and great oppressions,

people love to sing songs about it and imagine it
a divine sphere, reach...

Erupting cataclysms open fresh wounds??
Overloading ever more strenuous times??
Rooting deeper in the darkest turmoil??
To blossom fuller through the depths of despair??
Jagged crevices stand erect??
Crumbling under time of hopeless entanglement??
The sacred sound of silence??
Echoing off chambers...

Tall trees and winter’s dismay
Empty hearts and cattle calls
Trusting no one save you and 
Scattered love on forgotten walls

I love the way her lips
Curl when she tells a lie
A secret agreement between lovers
I promise and...

Galactic, cataclysmic echoes known
reflected off diamond pillars, thrown
into an abyss a sanctuary ancient:
no shout but whisper sentient,
lost in static, thunderous silence
to be forgotten for its loyalty's penance.

Whispers placed through time,
perhaps stars even, sublime,
words of no...
