Premium Member Alone in a crowd

He, always alone in a crowd
she, always the centre of it;
they always arrived together
then part, he so quick disavowed
she traipsed to the men, in a flit;
he ever held on a tether.
And when they withdrew, he and she
there was no longer two, but three.

Listen to poem:
Golden sets of surfs surface, delves surreal golden sky, Sands surrender shoeless sole soles traipsed a hazy trail, Gold rays graced and heralds-in, as an ochre shore comply, Gild shines serene flocks of doves, day sprung free a summer's veil.

Strange Bathfellows

A spider traipsed onto my knee
While I was reading in the bath
Though most might jump and scream and flee,
I just gave a little laugh

A baby Daddy Long-Legs!
(Though really, 'twas just a son)
I shooed him back onto his web,
And continued reading on...

In Those Days

In those days of darkness

My only salvation was a voice

Beckoning, teasing, whispering 

The only silence amidst the noise 

In those days I lingered 

Blindly through corridors 

That sole voice guiding 

Through my mind’s many floors

I went through various levels 

Empty rooms and solid walls

Through this place I’ve traipsed 

Bloodied by many falls


Premium Member Identical Hair and Attitude

Never had a horse and rider had a more intense bond
They communed with feelings others could not touch
It was no mistake their hair and attitude were identical
Meant to be together in this lifetime and possibly the next

They had a bond humans can only dream of 
A natural chemistry that exuded trust and love
They were a sight as they traipsed through the snow
One in every way; telepathy oozing out of them

Premium Member Mother Said NFC

Mother said she drempt
and saw into a gloomy depth

where she glimpsed
souls engulfed

within the world's
wounds.

Mother said she saw 
     where demons traipsed 
back and forth into the twelfth
     of hell,

while anxious
angels 

kept a watch amongst 
the dreaming adze*

lest they awake the monster 
waiting in the nothing.

* Adze: a vampiric being in Ewe folklore, told by the people of Togo and Ghana.
