Long Vanes Poems

The Williwonk rose from its hibernating sleep
And jumped up in joy with a sinuous leap.
Time for some mischief, he mischievously said,
I'll shake up Manvile and fill them with dread.

For such a vile creature was the...

Brackish-gurgling days that
Unobtrusively slid along
Past tussock grass and curled up 
Balls of Fern...
Glued tightly onto structured vanes
Of outstretched frond.
Venerable Mosses reciting epic tales,
Measured throughout Metronomical 
Strains,
Chanting methodically in harmonious
Downturn - 
Wherein contained: 
Foreboding dialects delivered...

Her long sleeved robe matched the hue of the plants so perfectly 
that it was hard to tell where the rest of the color and her form began. 
Her skin was a papery, ghostly white....

Summer season was  my childhood’s  greatest fun  time,
We played with toys out of a coconut tree which is a tree of life,
We  built  little houses beautifully and so high as...

When the 21st century stepped into its third decade, the major tone of the world sharply switched. Internecine confrontation, cartelism and calumniation snaffled the high pitch, while comprehension, cooperation and cosmopolitanism, like ill-adapting burdens and...

The Parallel Extinction 


	Parallel mirrors hold my reflection; hundreds of them circle around my vessel some of
them laughing, others are steadily watching me, concentrating on the seed that allows me
to think.  
These disfigured porous...

On the Mother Moon

Between the lipatospace and terrloid of two techtronic plates, great fountains of terrasawl pour from a captured dormant lake,
Crimsondands of cluster clouds, and seep oily resin amidst, smoking craterlike angulated compact pressing...

did you know 
in the fog, the secrets 
coil in each reaching tendril
floating in the ephemeral pause, caressing me
knowledge enveloped within
peaceful contemplation
quiet word-games of hidden wisdom
"Where did you leave your game?" The Great One chuckles
and...

Great wondering albatross flies above oceanic abyss
Many interesting creatures live where ocean waves land will kiss
On the endless horizon blue bliss
Of primordial ballad sea seems to reminisce 

Star rain appears on that blue horizon
Souls from...

Each month a craft fair, 
is held at Pyree Fields in the open air.
All the local crafters are there,
proudly showing off their homemade fare.

Behind each stall, a pair of eyes stares,
hoping you will buy some...

Like silent sentries
in a row
the pylon docks
await my arrival.
It is low tide as I
step onto the
gangway.
Crusty barnacles
cling tenaciously 
to the pylons
as salt sea water
laps the rocky 
shoreline.

A lanky blue heron
carefully picks
it's way
between the fingers 
of...

Wind touches the earth. Pushing a branch, and jiggling a leaf, sometimes to points of breaking both. Forcing an umbrella to push sideways against it, or a wing to twist to stay steady. Sending a...

Staring out of my window panes
at open fields and weather vanes
on my tractor seat, a woman's glove?
and I'm thinking about
the web we weave for love

Freshly tilled garden and the smell of dirt
Somewhere a farm girl...

Big Breakers. 
Frothing, the colour of spring leaf, a mountain top of ocean 
intent on drowning you it is not like crossing a road and just
have time to jump clear of a car. 
No, you...

I like the sky, it's always promising something.
It's a soothsayer for eyes scanning up, 
for signs, traces and lines of reassurance.  
It carries fragments of yesterday,
It continues its theme, but twists on cue
to change...

Today is your day to show just this,
That you’ll take gods hand and walk with him.
  Down the path that leads to life,
Holding on with all your might.

In the endless void of night,
Giant shadows take the fight
  Into the realm of intuition,
Setting wrecks of reason free,
Drugs and dreams, no guarantee
  To shrink the risk of retribution.

And as the fog of...

Where have the years gone-
like soft feathers, they soon fly,
floating in the breeze of life,
fragile, wispy thoughts
to gather in, one by one;
to stroke each with loving care,
smoothing the edges
ruffled in their years of flight;
feathers of...

H ow do memories retain the brilliancy of star’s vanes?
A nother time another place, would memories have such grace?
P erhaps, it’s simply distance, that works this mystery this mischance.

Back

back to work
so strange disappear
reappear from climactic theories
temperature rehears the cheers
clears the mind
redefines the sigh
form the bicelluar
quantum station
awaken from fried
food in the mud
studied so hard
chains spoiled
electric vanes
vases filled with chemical processes
contaminated clear form
deformed beasts 
living...

Light arrives from its flight
wheeling behind its suitcase of shadows,
exposures, echoes and consequences.

It spills its hoard across the floor,
and gathers remnant dark 
remains from dim corners. 
It daubs and stitches 
black silhouette capes and patches...

Where have the years gone: 
like soft feathers
they float in the breeze of life;
fragile, wispy thoughts
to gather in, one by one 
and stroke with loving care,
smoothing edges
ruffled in their years of flight.

Feathers of our memory-
