Winter

"WINTER"


the beautiful season 
of suspension
where we find 
our true selves

hibernating

under sacred blankets
of wisdom won 
dreaming of all 
the days past, gone 

in the never complete

and we dream 
in songs
of the other life
approaching

beautiful, 
inviolate,
lilting pure,
lighter, pristine, 

more truer 
than true

than the heavy
coloured cloaks 
covering lost victories
in the dedicated Obscure

never wrong
never won

“In Exile”, The Silver Tree/Lisa Gerrard

(john 1 NIV)




“O light! This is the cry 
of all the characters
 of ancient drama 
brought face to face 
with their fate. 

This last resort 
was ours, too, 
and I knew it now. 

In the middle of winter 
I at last discovered 
that there was in me 
an invincible summer.”
(Albert Camus, L’été)






“A poet is a blind optimist. 
The world is against him 
for many reasons. 
But the poet persists. 
He believes 
that he is on the right track, 
no matter what 
any of his fellow men say. 
In his eternal search for truth, 
the poet is alone. 
He tries to be timeless 
in a society built on time.”
(Kerouac)





"For small creatures 
such as we, 
the vastness 
is bearable 
only through 
love."
(Carl Sagan)





“There are things known
and there are things unknown, 
and in between 
are the doors of perception.”  
(Aldous Huxley)

Come On England (World Cup)

The talent of this England team
Will overcome the rest
Because the players on display
Are simply the best.

James our keeper will save every shot
He's experienced and so cool
Glen Johnson and Ashley Cole
The defence they both will rule.

John Terry solid as a rock
With King at his side
While Lennon and Joe Cole
Control the play out wide.

The creative skill of Lampard
And captain Gerrard too
Will create a hole in any defence
No matter what they do.

Peter Crouch up front is so tall
He reminds me of a Giraffe
When he scores and does that dance
He really makes me laugh.

Wayne Rooney wow what can I say
The best of the best
He's like a little bulldog
With three lions on his chest.

Our manager Fabio Capello
A master of the game
If we don't bring back the cup
We're only ourselves to blame.

Entry's Prologue

prologue's entry  

it’s as ancient as 
the salt missing
in the dead sea
it doesn’t hold
that essence 
in its tears

it looks over 
its dominion

the souls 
kissing its feet
entry point 
found in the cracks of
over zealous blowing 
their self-righteousness

stood on 
soap boxes
they know better
let them speak 
watch them 
war with each other

it swallows opines 
it feeds

prologue’s entry
it never leaves

it watches
the eyes of others
windows open 
virtuous with bravado
pushed to believe
only when they are on their knees

when the truth monster 
struts in 
shutters close
not so brave 
to defend, to endure 
what they speak

it thinks 
it waits 

Prologue's entry?
it never left,
it never sleeps

Prologue's entry
Entry's prologue

as above, 
so below
it watches them
in mirrors 
invisible, 
yet seen 

soon 
to be believed
it reads them, 
like the other
it knows
them all

soon
to be believed

"what's inside them?
is it made of strength?
unbreakable?"

like a Vampire 
it will impress promises
seduce them with 
safety in its arms 
it felicitates its
kind of freedom 

"what's inside them?
is it made of strength?
unbreakable?"
stood on their 
soap boxes, towers 
the same as rosaries

soon 
to be believed

"Freedom Sees - Part 1"

Sailing
her clear 
Aqua Green 
oceans
floating 
mysterious exotic
fragrant 
Dark Pink 
Yellow Frangipani Petals
surround her boat, 
gifts sent  
from the big fat bellied trees
in the Queen's Land,
standing fixated, 
rooted to the spot
they aren’t going anywhere
fast, that’s their lot on
Departure Shores,
waving their 
confetti dreams
at the Bamboo Queen
sailing adventuress
standing tall now
not down on her knees.

She’s surveying her pearl beds
Giant Burnt Orange
Lilac Lavendar 
Deep Emerald Green
Astropecten Articulatus
accompanying Royalty,
they are far from their 
familial home.
Hippocampus.
Syngnathidae, 
Olive, Ultra-Marine Blue.
Mate for life.
Sea Dragons. 
This is true.

Golden Glistening 
Burning Ball 
the Sun’s 
beckoning ascension, 
light beams,
dapple the surface
there is abundant 
life underneath
this, her verdant 
Sea Bed Circus.

Crystal clear deep waters
full of mothers and daughters
the nexus electric current
for her virtues
her sins,
her babbling 
ranting minions,
their downloading zone
go-with-the-flow.
A million zephyrs
cut the air,
they are calling HER
“HOME”.

50 Words For Poe: the Wicker Man

"50 Words for Poe: The Wicker Man"



Lost in the fire of his own mind
Lost in the fire of his own heart betrayed
Lost in the fire of his own life arraigned
Lost in the absence of Love, always

No Home
Man on Fire 
Afraid

Freedom to be found in the fire of his own sorrow
Freedom to be found in the fire of his own soul
Freedom to be found in the fire of his own today n’ere tomorrow
Freedom to be found in the fire of his own higher-self to remember 

Time now to let go 
Time is not borrowed

Burn the past to find Home

The Ocean calls him Home calls him Home calls him Home

(LadyLabyrinth/2019)
for Cerberus
off-page guarding his heart

"Man on Fire"/Gerrard




“It is said by the Eldar that in water there lives yet the echo of the Music of the Ainur more than in any substance that is in this Earth; and many of the Children of Ilúvatar hearken still unsated to the voices of the Sea, and yet know not for what they listen.”  Tolkien, The Silmarillion 




“Ocean, n. A body of water occupying about two-thirds of a world made for man — who has no gills.” Ambrose Bierce, The Unabridged Devil's Dictionary


The Black Habit

"The Black Habit"



Bast never rests
claws sharp as scissors

The Black Habit
no natural skin

torn to shreds
with a cream filled kiss 

Legs wrapped around a velvet lick
Perfume purrs in your ears

Like a Black Cat
Bast never rests

Like a Black Cat
Bast skirts your whiskers

Breezes over your lips
The Black Habit lifts

(LadyLabyrinth/2019)

“I want to fall in love in such a way,
that the mere sight of a man, 
even a block away from me, 
will shake and pierce me, 
will weaken me, 
and make me tremble and soften and melt.” 
Anaïs Nin, Delta of Venus

Graeme Ballard

Graeme’s hero is Steven Gerrard, 
That Liverpool and LA football player,
And has Cerebral Palsy. It was hard, 
‘Cos doctors said he’d never blether. 

He was prematurely delivered 1979,
But can now lift 3x his body weight.
For his 8th birthday his parents fine,
Bought him a horse, sports to date.

He studied at Beaumont College, 
In Lancaster, where he got involved, 
In CP sports competitions to wage, 
His abilities and strength devolved. 

Joining Chorley town Athletic Club,
He became determined to make it, 
And in May 2012 Graeme did tub,
Taking silver, to sprint the Worlds fit. 

Then in the London Games, Paras,
He won another silver to objectify,
His raw talent in the T36 100 metres,
In which he does his dreams solidify.
