Shrouding the telephone pole
Across the still street
The mysteries of the world
Shrouded in my ignorance...

What defines flow
to coffin from womb

am I a shell -
a cloak shrouding neon

or am I
an oyster 
devoid of pearl,
simply meat, drifting
between rock
and coral -

no divinity but squal for the sun....

he who seeks rapid ascension
what knows he of meditation 
floundering hither and thither
dithers as dark desires slither
fears shrouding him in contraction

I’m glad of April rain,
Keeping us indoors
Inside our rattled window pane
While the night storm pours.

The rain’s a winding sheet,
Shrouding up the night;
Inside we drink and talk and eat
By a fire built bright....

midnight was glowing
in recall of antique gold
huge yellow daisy

pleasures we once knew
when dusk daisy glowed redly
twirl memory lane

golden onyx dark
shrouding melancholy moon
awakens rapture...

The hush before dawn
is fraught with poignant silence
as night turns to day


Trinkling sounds flow
through the air as the river
bounces over rocks


Deep silence abounds
and not a murmur to be heard 
stillness shrouding all...

A Long Goodbye

A vast familiar landscape
flutters and faulters;invites and departs

Fog slowly rolls in, shrouding present and past,in a harsh, lonely tomb

Curtain of mist
Shrouding the horizon,
You this day contain
Dreams and views unknown,
As of yet hidden in time.

Shiningly one entwines,
Waking from a thought,
Tendriled ideas of touching games.
Sounds that brush the being,
Duet the looks....

Clouds and dusts over the oceans
Shrouding the moonlight sands

Winds across the oceans
Galloping the midnight strands

Grains under seas and oceans
Sailing on floors that bonds

Creatures of the wild and holy grounds
Basin of hope and comforting hands...

Dark ferality
slow strangulation
spiralling desire
shrouding us in fear
of our own making

No cure in sight
we slip in gloom
shadows seem real
noose around neck

In stillness 
we embrace
love divine

Presence
then feels

Bliss

Here lies entombed a poet
Whose verses in ether lie, 
He seeks no tears of mortals
Neither seeks a mournful sigh; 

Gay blooms shrouding his gravestone
Are magical spells of his, 
They'll drench your soul with nectar
And pints of heavenly bliss.

Down where Golden Rods blooms
Creek runs to rushing tune
And mist rises on cool morns

Shrouding red Sweetgum leaves
Gentle wind blows through eaves
Sighing comfort not forlorn

Lazy sound so soothing
Snuzzle in relaxing
Listening to dove that mourns

The sobering sounds of silence

That's weighing heavy as it nears

The hungry breath of mortal death 

That's preying heavy on my fears

Now terrorizes heart and soul 

Clouding my weary eyes with tears 

No going back when all turns black 

Shrouding my weary days and years...

Is the urge to create innate 
or a passing mist, quirk of fate,
doomed to die, as we wingless fly,
in dream waves that will soon abate?

Questions: what, where, when how and why
spurred by mind, lets not bliss draw nigh,
shrouding soul’s light, caged in within,
ego spawned urge, which we decry....

Can we abdicate
thoughts that agitate,
which shrivel our soul,
burning like hot coal?

To whom do thoughts come,
that veil God’s kingdom,
shrouding divine light,
making day like night?

In-dwelling this form,
invite bliss pulse warm
to throb in each pore,
whilst keeping no score!

As the pastor delivers his speech
and religious fervour peaks,
our heart goes out to those marginalised,
for pale now are their fear fraught cheeks.

In the name of God, gathering a crowd,
witch-hunting the downtrodden and meek,
crass and callous is the cacophonic din,
shrouding love and light, each of us seek....
