The Sounds of Home

Home                    
                   Children laugh and play 
                 Pop, pop, the popcorn is ready
               Waaa, waaa baby needs her bottle 
              Bark, bark the puppy needs to go outside 
             Click, click, click daddy works on the computer 
          Sizzle, sizzle, pop, pop mommy is cooking dinner 
               Bam, bam, bam brother plays the drums 
               Tip,  tap, whirl sister is practicing a dance 
               The leaves rustle outside in the backyard 
               Ho hum, mommy yawns, it’s time for bed 
               Thump, brother falls on his knees to pray 
               Shhhh, quiet now my child it’s time to sleep 
               Muah a goodnight kiss for all the children  
               ZZZZZZ  the family is all snug in their beds

This Naked Dance

"This Naked Dance"



This naked dance
before the tenuous 
judgement of sentences
the company of words 
from all the silent voices 
seated in the front rows 
of this our dark audience 

the jury of lost lovers
wanting their heroes 

to hear songs stolen
delivered by angels 
swallowed by demons
their notes played in
affidavits continuous
in the courts of denial
these habits contagious 

lifted by suede fingertips
to Munch mouth

a cavernous silence 
waiting for some 
sound of contrition
from the you 
without numbers
now free pool playing 
piano keys

reversing the tune 
of our journey

smyth sewing stitches 
is your gaol 
opening memories in 
the industrial room
there are no windows
to see the blue sky
of you once were 

some kind of happy
before the damage

I’ll walk through
all your mirrors
like a ghost 
that haunts you forever 
to find where 
the heart of you split 
and scattered 

in the bleak corridors
of your prisons

forgiveness 
comes and goes
in silent waves 
back into the shores 
and certainties of me
then is dragged out 
tangled up to the mast with you

in the hangman’s rope
submerging 

in the undertow
with the tide of our life
to where the things
with sharp teeth 
wait for us
we are not fat enough 
with life yet to be seen 

as delicious 
there is something missing

within us 
we are standing still 
we are asphyxiated 
sucked to the sides of life we are
pilot fish in the corridors 
of our phantom penitentiary
not prescient enough

to evolve fully our flavours
to become complete

so we continue to dance naked
in deeper waters

pushing envelopes
before the tenuous 
judgement of sentences
the company of words 
from all the silent voices 
seated in the front rows 
of this, our invisible
dark audience

Tropic of Cancer

"Tropic of Cancer"



Follow the silent trail
words like stars shine
coded on straight lines 
blind to all

like diamonds 
they are invisible
the keys 
written and held

Winter stars puzzle the sky
Northward a cold frontier 
waits beckoning
Capricorn’s Summer's dream

Escape Hell South
Where Heaven is a blue sky 
golden beach purgatory
littered with pristine fingernail shells

Chinaman's Beach
the child grown
no more school bells
days are long and free to roam

Nine inch nails
to be buried in 
some other coffin
burned and pushed out to sea

Cancer has been kissed away
alongside Soldier crabs and
prisoners in 
Balmoral Beach cells

Wolves breathe hot 
on cool paws 
smiling wet lips
for thanksgiving

Circle of Magic
drawn in the warm sand
Ocean lapping 
King tide kissing bare feet

On the other side
a future waiting, calling
Omen of higher self chairs
voices in the mind debating

(LadyLabyrinth/2019)

The Cemetery

It is just before dawn
On the first day of summer
There is a hint of Lavender  in the air
The blades of grass emit a Chartreuse hue
The yellow moon fades as a Coral sun emerges in the distance

“Good morning my love”
She opens a Tangerine and places the dark orange skin on the grass
“Baby, I’m eating fruit.”
“I am here having breakfast with you.”
She speaks to him just like he were next to her
“Do you like my Saffron-colored dress?”
“I got it for summer.”
“I know you hate my toenails, yes Crimson is a little dark for me

Struggling to fight the tears she focuses on the colors around her 
Lemon Daffodils surround the trees, Lilac leaves adorn the shrubs
and Watermelon roses line the walkways
“I am placing some Aquamarine stones here my love.”
“These light green stones stand for courage and protection”
Her skin tingles and she feels he is there
They are together...Peace

Mother

Mother, you’ve been gone for twelve months
I write poems upon your desk
The house looks different, you wouldn’t like it
Now I know why you worked and worked to keep it in order
 I comprehend why you polished the silver
 I believe the dishes should be put up every night
 I see why we shouldn’t bring food to our rooms
Mother, we miss you terribly, we love you so
I sit in the living room, I write upon your desk
The couch smells like your perfume
The pictures rest in the closet, I don’t know why
Mother, your voice rings out on the second floor
Now I know why we tidied our rooms in the mornings
 I comprehend why schoolwork comes first
 I find myself being just like you “pick up your clothes”,” feed the dog”
Mother, how I wish I told you I loved you more often
The house looks different, you wouldn’t like it
Now I know why you worked and worked to keep us in order
Mother, you’ve been gone for so long
I write poems upon your desk
It feels like you’re right here

Truth Or Lies

I fail to understand how lies are built
I fail to comprehend how tongues twist words
Preparing lies is holding the hilt
And stab many selfless saints from their herds
Staying under the quilt leads to pure guilt

I fail to understand how life has no truth
I fail to comprehend how there’s no fair play
Keeping a mouth shut is breaking a healthy tooth.
Might as well give birth to a bloke with speech delay
Reality is not the blessed kissing booth

Truth is taking a vaccine to be immune
From the virus of mischief, silence and pain
Truth is singing notes constantly in tune
While lying is singing off key with high gain
Therefore, all these lies must end real soon

Premium Member O, Dry Your Glistening Tears

 

God has them in his arms
All the children and their heroes
O, the tragedy of New town
My heart is broken . . .

I weep and pray for the little ones
And those who died with them
And even those who survived
Each day a reliving pain . . .

Mourned throughout the world
The grief and suffering unbearable
God, it is so hard to fathom the evil
My heart is bleeding tears . . .

All those babies and the adults
Safe within Heavens gate now
Each with delicate and beautiful wings
Angels shining bright . . .

I pray for their families and friends
There is no answer to the question why
You can ask forever and never know
This existence borrowed time . . .

God, is our world so hopeless and evil
That our babies must die, needlessly
And those who try to protect them
O, dry your glistening tears . . .

Charlotte, Daniel Olivia, Josephine, Ana, Dylan, Madelaine
Catherine, Chase, Jesse, James, Grace, Jack, Noah, Caroline

To Emilie

Ever thoughtful and kind, you rejuvenate my days
Making me laugh and smile with your ever shining rays
In truth, you are amazing, so cheerful and so bright
Like a mind-boggling revelation, I can see a new light
I often find myself wondering why we never spoke before
Economics was rather boring, but we found an open door!

Dependently, I discovered one sun inside this darkened place
Invariably I understand that there is good within disgrace  
Caught inside the pains of life, your positivity has a power
Kept away from fear and sadness, you sweeten what is sour 
I cannot describe in mere words how much I appreciate you
Now I reach into the dark to find something so new
Somehow I will show the world what you have done for me
Onwards into friendship, our light they will surely see 
Never forget that you are awesomtastically brilliant, Emilie!

To Know You Is To Love You

When I say “I can’t take anymore.” 
It’s really quite a shame 
That doesn’t mean I’ll shut the door 
It’s become a losing game 
No one here is keeping score 

To know you is to love you 
To hold you is a need 
My mind floods with memories of you 
Making my heart bleed 
There is no one above you 

I don’t want to isolate you  
Lock you up at home 
Or make those people hate you 
They do that on their own 
Their image can't create you 

People claim to be your friend 
Yet, they long to see your sorrow 
If ever our love should end 
They’d have all of you tomorrow 
It’s on you that they depend

Live Your Life

Forgive your shortcomings, seize the day
Go for the true happiness that you seek
Count stars at night, indulge yourself, and write
Work efficiently then take time to play
Love with all your heart and expect nothing
Compromise but don’t let your morals sway
Take time to feel raindrops and taste the snow
Sculpt a masterpiece, your life is the clay
Be sure to think about the words you speak
Indulge yourself and write, count stars at night
Smile if things are tough, it will be okay
