Staring At the Abyss

Looking at the void
Open eyed falling
Mouth agape
Our eyes chasing theirs as you drop


The wells power
Ghosts of the past
Things come and gone
Looking back at you

Conceiving

The knife peels off 
the silence. 
Colours were very shrewd.

      *

Tonight I want to sleep 
open-eyed, to keep a 
vigil on shooting stars.

      *

The wood god 
had no limbs. Only jewels 
were used as prostheses.

Amergin- Paradox

I am unique : yet still humane
I am different : and yet the same
I am male : yet, my tears hide
I am old : yet young inside
I am weak : yet am made strong
I am equal : yet complement
I am open : yet introspect
I am open-eyed : who but I
Sees life contrariwise

Christmas Eve

When Simon fell asleep on Christmas Eve.  
Dreaming of presents that Santa would leave.
He soon stirred, when his door squeaked.
Open- eyed, as floorboards creaked.
Now he knows Santa, is not make-believe.

A Sad But True Thought

A Sad But True Thought

When racing world pales deep, its darkness takes first stage
evil parades as good, soon becomes all the rage.
When humanity walks blind, rather than open eyed
graveyards will fill with those, that far too early died.

Senses

You have fought, and been broken, now time to let go…
The hardship, the worry, the pain & dismay 
Open eyed clear surrounds. 
Look! 
Breathe in rainbows 
Open eyed feel cool wind. 
Scent of leaves, soil, water,
Penetrating molecules with gifts of being
“Tranquil, dear heart”
Accept though it’s finite… Accept that it is! 
You are!
Feel again, and you will feel again.

Can'T Sleep

Sleep 
Evades 
Even when counting sheep 
Or listening to a serenade.
I guess I need a sandwich of peanut butter and
Marmalade 
To end my slumberness.
I can't understand why my mind has gone to being a 
Renegade.
I'm powerless.
It seems tonight my thoughts are bottomless.
I am laying in bed open eyed.
Never the less 
However, tomorrow a nap would be justified.

Just Another Extraordinary Day At Work

pictures of you
wishes on a forklift
another ordinary day
cannot afford to daydream

pictures of you
extended bathroom break
my cell phone comes in HANDY
cannot afford open eyed wet dreams

pictures of you
reality kicking in after the aftermath
my forklift key drops on the floor like a neglected bell
cannot afford You anyway

Thank God For Disagreeing With Me and For AllWays Being Right

The Visitor

The wait begins adorned with symbols
for shadow to fall
between hope and pretention.

The moon will talk
when the dew returns
and clouds are hiding.

He will come in a black cloak
for a final assault
with broken promises.

Is he untouchable?
You cannot embrace him?
Walks like a ghost between me and you.

Our past, open-eyed, the truth
happens on road
in crowd, in our home.

HARD HEART

Closely watch as those hardened hearts
Solid as a rock blood yet still pumps flows
Stagnated loves frozen disguise as beating fawns 
Ringing like metal clanging iron bells
Open eyed blinded open mouth speaking lies

Who am I to have grace
Humanity grace compliance 
Running destination race
Ain't no denial,  just faith placed

Harden heart softening up
Once hard as diamond and gold
