You Resemble Me

Face framed ornate, or curl corner blu tacked up
Childhood fanciful daring must softly be contained
Dispicable hovers inside cherub cheeked adorable 
Challenge for enamoured to create correct shape 
Administer discipline with compassion entangled

Potential beckons infant innately curious
Toddler discovery meshed with messiness
Woven with wonderment routine can't limit
Succumbed mother disowns justifiable furious
Besotted witness, sure estate for mischief 

Nudging daughters towards beings approved 
Beyond old rigidity, modern option multiples
Youth spoken forums we're foreigners to
Images of genuine and fake indiscernible 
Listened to lunacy delivers messages askew

Duty to daughters reflect our similarity
Penciled declarations stuck to fridge
Devotedness focussed on child precious 
Inflated effort, parents' universal currency
Whether meagre expenditure, or excess

Snippets of your prosper are written in me
Lawyer loads clothes into washing machine
Submerged both classes in a world severe
Puppets of striving in fast passed society
Consumer boom boldly commandeered

Disparity reveals parental symmetry amazing 
Faithfully accommodating girls' shifting needs
Working mothers, each of us  'unaccompanied' 
Various sized resources serve child raising
Sacrifice made by dedicated souls equally

Providing guidance, friendship gripes quieten
Line of latitude curved by desire to control
Old school wisdom bolsters brains susceptible 
Dramatised screen infused new century children
Content quickly spirals into unacceptable 

Desperately hoping, we Mother soldiers
Shield children from future provocation
Hold fort, nest feathered dedication
Thrusted comfort, reluctant scolders 
Admist mixed rails, reliable station

Within swayed pre teen trajectory 
Sturdy parenting depots journey
Home stands firm from outside duress
Finances overshadowed by reliability 
Partnered peers approve sole success

Choral Singer- 

You're looking at the choral singer
You're looking at the choral singer
I'm dancing, dancing 'til dawn
I feel lonely
I'm dancing 'til dawn
It's time we had some storms
You don't wanna be stuck indoors promenading
You must think I'm unaccompanied

Everyone is musical sometimes
Don't like your rhymes
Is musical sometimes
You don't wanna be philharmonic like me 
You must think I'm a back-beat
Records ain't nothing when I'm gabbling with ya
You're looking at the choral singer
Music
If you feel like wandering
Everyone is musical sometimes
Won't like your rhymes
Is musical sometimes

My Bus Journey

My Bus Journey

Getting on the bus to go into town
Ten passengers standing up, twenty sitting down
The card reader's faulty, won't recognise my bus pass
Youths standing at the bus stop banging on the glass

Unaccompanied children, probably going to gran's
Elderly couple opposite, sitting holding hands
Driver says he's running late and that he can't delay
Gives me no time to find a seat, before he's on his way

Can't find an empty disabled seat, even though I have a stick
Able-bodied people stay sitting in them, looking at me as if I’m thick
I stand in the aisle, swaying back and forth
I'm facing south, though the bus is travelling North

I try to turn to face the front but someone is standing in my way
Weighed down with an overstuffed backpack, that pummels me as I sway
Youths at the back, thinking they're ‘cock of the walk'
With their forbidden e-cigs and their filthy talk

We come to a standstill, young mother gets on, pushchair in her hand
Though there's already two buggies on, and she's going to have to stand
She stands at the front, right in between
The passengers stay put, you know what I mean

At the next stop, I want to get off
But those standing won't budge, they just stand there and scoff
I push my way through to the front of the bus
I get to the driver, I don't make a fuss
The driver says “Sorry, I can't make them move
Good manners are a thing of the past, as this journey did just prove”

Premium Member In the silence of the night, when the world rests

In the silence of the night, when the world rests,
I embark on a journey, without a map, without warning.
It's not a mountain path, nor a trail through the forest,
It's a journey inward, where the soul hides and is measured in measure.
On this path, steps are memories and thoughts,
Each stone, a regret, each flower, an endless longing.
But on this journey, I am not alone, but accompanied,
By myself, by hopes, by dreams, and by moments passed into infinity.
It's a journey to the center of being, where everything is pure and sincere,
Where the mask comes off, and the heart speaks without fear.
Here, in the depths of the soul, where time seems to stand still,
I rediscover simple joys, childhood memories, and my first spring.
But this journey is not always easy, nor always filled with light,
There are moments of darkness, of sadness, where the soul weeps and struggles.
Yet even in those moments, when all seems lost,
A ray of hope shines, guiding me to the hidden truth.
For the most beautiful journey is not to distant lands,
But to our own soul, where we find ourselves, alone and unaccompanied.
There, in the depths of being, where everything is sincere and pure,
We discover the true essence of life, and understand that we are truly loved.

The Three Perfumes

I wish to breathe in ~
      lose myself, as my head tilts back
    and I fill with fragrance 

         be lost upon lost, flowing, fleeing
    invisibly within layers, locked in

          bound to perfumed memories
       that I return to unaccompanied 
  a ghost within their harmless essence 

    you are one deep inhalation away
  I stop before my lungs are full
      still able to tell dreams from reality

        I hold three thoughts 
      three notes that detail my existence 
   I am the rose, delphinium blue & lily white

evaporative unless curated
   an apparition, unheld, unholdable
  recalled only to mind 

      redolent and intoxicated
         by lingering base notes
    unforgettable 
but distinguished by the fact
          you remain 
                      the unforgiven

Premium Member Even the Angels Wept

Her voice echoed through the hallways
Of the pediatric oncology hospital ward
When people saw the young girl who sang these songs
They were stunned and they were floored

She sang unaccompanied
But there was music in her voice
The children all felt better
As if they hadn’t another choice

She wasn’t paid to entertain them
She wasn’t doing work for charity
She wasn’t a doctor or nurse there to cure them
She was a patient with one of the maladies

Then, one day, the halls were silent
Into her lungs the cancer had eventually crept
Children and parents were disheartened 
Even, from up high, the angels wept

But, the tear drops from angels
Plus prayers from souls down here on earth
Helped to bring about a medical miracle
And her cancer, somehow, did reverse

Her voice rang out again in a soft lullaby
While future angels in their beds slept
Once again hope was planted into patient’s hearts
Once again, on high, the angels wept

Premium Member The Echo Returns Not

	I sailed an olive boat 
into the center of the sea 
alone
	to find a cure for my loose heart 
not the spring-back type, noble with elasticity 
but leap-forward lecher-wild
binding to any skirted frame and drooping hemline 
like friendly burrs in shrubbery lanes
	sat in an olive boat
drifting mid-seas 
unaccompanied but for Hope to land a cure upon my knees
to heal my lousy, narcissistic zeal
	an insatiable human thinks like a possessed apiary
an overwrought dam
	I tonsured my beatific locks 
as bare as Samson 
hoodwinked 
by his pet Flytrap
	tossed reflective surfaces, anything that would give my face
a way to self-seduction
    safe in a roasted green-pea float 
lost like dead at sea 
to recover a voice that scarcely has been mine
	its echo returns not
through bursting towns 
busy at trade
    hawkers cawing,
    hucksters' crow delirious, 
    chattering cashboxes
    traffic snakes wending 
    Nowhere do they end in time
always metal and rust
    ferric towering towers, condominium pride, 
    noisome domiciles, toxic steel cages
    barring the success of this voice~
the sound of your mind drowned inside the urban brawl
not a jot of space to reckon nor conciliate 
blushing-rushing-golden consciences 
	an echo may not return to its sender then ~
a man with no name.

poem number 10 from saltmilk


… do you love me, woman
it is cloudy in this street             
as that sandalwood perfume
stretching between our arms
here everything of it is gone       
with the floods and good


you are the only tree left behind
and love is the dewdrops 
even the axe that cuts them
into pieces, remains a noble soul
falling slowly from the last leaf
to the bare ground of mire


somewhere in the mist behind the bridge
a brain is smouldering with the request
to return this soul 
to its former position
and retains its fragrance
in the trap, unaccompanied


thinking about a lover is sweeter than kissing
because love is not feeling
and I cherish that moment in itself
when I am alone but through a subsequent passage       
that’s why I illustrate
your perfume filling the dig we create  


woman, do you still love me
I’m one of the connexions, though really why 
it should be, after all, is none so apparent
your body is a cloth I wear 
in this cold weather I’m 
struggling with my broken left leg…

Fireworks

They rise and sparkle and crackle,
Shaming the nakedness of the skies
And the city, with one frightful flame of
Youth,
Burning with the zest of
Seasonal lore.
At Christmas, they salute the days
Creamed by snow and sleet,
Thrusting in us the wisdom of
Global ceremonies.
They are the lightning of Yuletide —
Lightning unaccompanied by rain.
Shaped in balls and spears, and lean
Fragments of flagrant colours,
They are armed with their own thunder —
Thunder that speaks volumes and calms the rage in
Frenetic dogs.
They are coloured paints splashed lavishly across the broadest
Canvas ever —black and seamless
We see through their lens, the running dusts
Of sparks,
The dancing circus of sky-circuits
And the happy wars waged on the frontiers
Of seasons.
They strobe around the cold earth.
New Year’s Eve is riddled with conundrums,
Waking sleepy souls to sneeze up details of
A frazzled year.
The heavens are lit up lavishly,
Electrified to stupor,
Reminding us of choirs that chorus to the tunes
Of life everlasting.
Carousels ride through our minds, young now,
Old tomorrow,
With sparks that shine this moment
And dim the next.
Such is life.

Wishbone Carpet Thought

i wanna be alone tonight
i wanna be an accidental victim streetlight darkness
i wanna be the only one in the world that i create
i wanna be the yellow light sitting indian style in the middle of planet red
i wanna be my only company serving only to myself
i wanna be the only audience for the quietly whispering wind
i wanna be totally lost in thought in the gentle beating heart of blankness
i wanna be the star in a dimply lit deserted spotlight
i wanna be the only sound that i hear period end of story
i wanna be the only vision i see in all its unaccompanied glory
i wanna be the only recipient of open space's delight
yes, i wanna be alone tonight....
