Long Ebb away Poems

mind that thinks
heart that feels
senses five

reflect

thoughts vary
emotions differ
senses too can ebb

yet

we are alive
in the waking state
but what of dreamless sleep

where are we then
we recall it not
yet awake from it nevertheless 

so

are we not the screen...

All. Day. Long.

I sit there, in my chair, All. Day. Long. 
Glaring at people I hate. 
The people who are but mere memories.
Mere dust in the wind.

All that I know has blown away, 
taken by...

She thought that it was normal,
If she made a bad mistake,
She surely must be punished,
If some liberties she’d take?
She thought it happened everywhere,
She’d not been singled out,
But when he started hiding it,
It planted seeds of...

REWORKED     27 OCT 2017

I'm sorry  I'm reposting this, I had to rework it for better meaning continuity and flow of speech.

Time pulls life by its hand

Calling Captain Hindsight, where the heck are you?
The table booked for one-fifteen and now it’s ten-past-two,
The waiting staff are anxious, they want me to move on,
Their patience was exhausted as I sat buttering a scone.

I...

This love – how tragically bittersweet it is…
A dance macabre, performed on fallen angel wings; 
It is a gliding duet of two lost souls, 
Spiralling together into ethereal self destruction – 
In a doomed embrace,...

You should have told me sooner you didn't wish to stay
Not adding more years, as you continued to play
Women are your weakness they fall for your charm
Eyes opened wide I should have listened...

Ooh Lord,
Lost between files, forgotten in daily schedules
slipping away  in the daily humdrum of dear life
 and quietly  ebbing from  my mind is  a verse.
Of the warm embrace of the yellow...

You pain alone, someone else can't feel your flesh where feelings etch, and named anguish. With so many around feel alone, can't truly share it, to soften and wane. Words don't transfer feelings, only describe...

You, the watercolor of my dreams and codex of mystery,
You draw the cosmic shiver towards me, disturbing my peace;
You offer a dance of stellar swarms hidden in earthly forms,
You possess sublime gifts, courage, weaving genealogies...

Destroyed

By Nathan Hannen

Hello, Hello, Are you there?, Said the animal to the human
Yes, Oh yes, Im here to kill you, Renounce your habitats
Ruiner of nature and all that's good, What do you think you are...

mother carey’s chickens scream
as they slide just above wave height
following our creaming wake
as we plough forwards on to night.
there is a peculiar type of silence 
in that dark not dark out here at sea

How do I convey
What I mean to say
To a heart that cries
Yet i'm mesmerised 

No more can I hide
The affection inside
A body so weak
Who's conscience is meek

What would I give
A heart that forgives
The hand of...

“She is mine”
The words of the Duke spoke heavy over his dine
The shocked face of the girl was evident
The love in their hearts was non-resident
Did she have a choice? 
How could she speak over her...

Cry not, my heart,
Lamented I to it,
As I held it tenderly in between
The palms of my hands!

Cry not, stop your bloody tears
And open to me
The secret hideaway that leads
To soothe and fulfilment!

Why would you cry...

Daisy Magill
1889-1919

A person knows when she will die.
I knew it. 
My uncle Harry knew it.
And my consumption knew it too.
My dying day was a sunny one, my friends.
As the July sun bathed my garden flowers...

empowered by memory
narrative built by mind
seeks to connect the dots
that feeling of continuity
sculpts our uniqueness

affirmation of our identity
within a bubble of limitation 
creates body identification
plunging us in deep trance
held captive by attachment 

as felt in...

She hated men

Hated everything about them

Bordering on the pathological

Hated the way they touched her

Hated the way they used her

She even hated taking their dirty money

She did like killing them though

Watching their power slowly ebb away

Avalanching in this benighted place. 
Hollow noise like the roar of an angry bull. 
Emotionally desolate, importune of answers. 
Feeling castigated, in bleak. Veer not from me oh dear God. 

Embedded in avalanche.
I bellow for...

Death, where are you

01/05/2018



Battered and broken, body a crumpled and crushed mess,
Lifeless on cold concrete, near death, in distress.
Motorbike versus truck, who won? Well you can guess.

Born into this world full of hope
but soon we feel it ebb  away
so many struggles are in our face
there's no lack of them every day

Our reaction is to turn right around
immediately change gear reverse...

Carryin’ a pad, walkin’ along
Rapped in mother’s east sun
The Elcalda’s bell dancin’ an incense memory
On a watery mirrored titillation

Mind paintin’ a peasant
Lime green on brown bench
Blacklegged
A bag of burnt red

Lawn sprinkler pantin’
The beat
Over left shoulder

as rain begins to fall from the sky
my forgotten memories make me cry
I feel forsaken and I don't know why
my entire body begs to die
as tears slowly fall from the sky

the rain comes down harder...

I come to you with a broken spirit and an open mind,
Seeking your wisdom and ties that bind,

Asking for nothing more than a comforting hand,
A place for this drifter to safely land,

But you turn me...

His mind is a blank; it matches the screen
in front of him, staring back silent and mean
daring him fill it with meaning and rhyme
as the Enemy ticks in the background -- Time

Seconds ebb away, each...
