Wardrobes, full of clothes,
crossstitch cluttered walls-
her shadow still clouds my mind

tears begin to fall.
emotion becomes a flood-
a cataract of regret flows

a realisation dawns,
fleeting thoughts crystallize-
as 'as is' moment of hope is born

Dewdrops fall, gentle
Sliding down a soft petal
Kissing away the drought
~~~
Teardrops fall, wistful
Slipping lightly down a cheek
Embracing the hand of grief

Parallels and Platforms

"Parallels and Platforms" 

diving into the void
our hearts sound like
deep bluebells sonar driven

ringing in a new universe 
humming lips caress throats 
where words are born to erupt

but do not speak,
you can hear feelings
new bodies singing 

fever pitch 

dimensions spreading 
ripples as in a calm ocean 
parallels bend and meet 

flexing into the smooth 
spontaneous Dionysiac curves
in the out of time 

warm worlds evolve 

they join in luscious flexing 
pulses rushing in frames
burning up naked as the Sun 

massaging now tactile light 
what once was deepest blues
into searing ultraviolet view

co-joined like minds 
the formless fit tight
the luminous become one

exploding Supernova

platforms speak
dancing in each 
other’s eyes

mirrors undress 
the senseless,
sensing the fullness 

of what was once flesh
now crystalline knowing
the sensual twist

intuitively
dexterous phantoms 
eventually kiss

when we meet
intertwined
in the out of time

Our Love Parallel Lines

It's desperate to
       compare our love
       with straight parallels!
       The lines only meet
       in infinity...
       infinity expands
       and increases the mismatch
       the goals, the straights...!

Partitions and Parallels

Silent, sliding, shadow-moon sly
Glides from the slit, in a
Crow-flocked, Cloud-frocked,
 Winter-mocked blue sky.
With half-open eyes, he stares at the last
Who lay their still-sleep of Three Hundred Years Past.

Below lies Thomas, old grounds-man head
With permission he rests amongst the high Lordly-dead.
Beside him, his daughter, Sarah, aged five,
Whispers message of doom, to those yet alive.
More high-staff, scattered, buried around,
Next to Knights, 
The Most Reverend,
The  marble and mound.
Here now, commoners trample, with no ‘by your leave’
On vaults and tombstones 
Where  Ancients still grieve.

Whilst the ghost-grey eyes unnoticed, sublime
Marks the
Tick- tocked,
Click-clocked, 
Face for all time.

Parallels Lines

It's desperate
       compare our love
       as  parallels lines!
       The lines meet only
       in the infinite ...
       Infinity expands
       and increases the mismatch
       the goals, the straights ...!

Poetic Parallels

two sijo

Take note of the resemblance between maple seeds and tadpoles?
Ideas spin round like maple seeds seeking a spot to sprout; 
our minds are small ponds where agile tadpoles (like thoughts) mature. 

Takes about fourteen weeks, but polliwogs will become frogs; 
"Helicopters" become trees after many, many years 
but ideas become poems, sometimes within minutes.

Parallels

The actor lives upon the stage
With his voice, his tale conveys 
Reciting lines in mellow tones
Captures all that hear

The writer lives upon the page
With his hand, his tale portrays
Penning lines, each word he hones
Seduce the eye instead of ear


I do not know if there is a name for this style of poetry, but I have written it with every fourth line rhyming, so that the two stanzas are dependent upon each other for their verse.

Parallels

Positive poles keep me grounded
even when all efforts get spurned.
Love intrudes with hope unfounded
while hatred proves bitterly earned.

Our coupling tethered in the lash
scorches my core with friction rash.

The Parallels

A warm embrace,
A tender caress,
someone by your side,
to love and behold. 
A beauty so natural,
In the framework of dreams.

A harsh reality,
A cold awakening,
no one by your side.
There's no love nor warmth,
in the stark reality,
of a life so real.

An ocean so deep,
of love evergreen,
neither rusting nor fading,
with each other to comfort.
Forever you are inlove, 
in the oceans of dreams.

A cold betrayal,
An ugly breakup,
A shuttered heart.
No one to hold,
In the harsh reality,
of a life so real.

Now you  know,
the two parallels
of dreams and reality,
we walk in between,
sometimes in dreams
others in reality.
