 is not obtained by
 straightforward solutions ~

While life stays motionless, but hours still make a silent, repeating, tick.

LIFE

The road of life twists and coils
Occasionally doubling back on itself
Threaded through convoluted 
Tangles of happiness and pain

Ever Endless Maze

Ever endless maze
You annoy me with your paths
Constant twists and turns

Ever endless maze
Your meaning life is constant
So many choices

More twists in some tales,
peak and trough, allied suspense, 
layers of intrigue,
which kept one fixed to the page,
gotcha end plot a bonus.

                         Safer.

Me

Head flies among the cloud 
screaming out aloud

Body twists around and round
trying not to bound


Feet are pillars in the ground
raising not a sound

Your Eyes

Your eyes are strange.
Derisive? Drunk?
Who are you? 
The clown or King,
Which twists spirals of a life? 
No, 
you have only become a little tired.

And now it seems
You are there
And here together
With me
And astrally
Seeing
Any problems
Twists in the road
Or obstructions
Coming our way

Feeling eyes on her, she is compelled to be a bit more provocative
I keep silent that she is my mother

When the sun comes out,
And highlights the sea,
And honeysuckle round the garden twists,

I turn about,
For all I can see
Are the sparkling scars upon my wrists.

And petals fall

The sun does rise
As the monsoons fall

the roads we travel

I smiled
The mysteries unraveled

This life, a boon unasked,
Though with eddies and sudden twists.
Even at dead ends, a passage opens.
Move forward without dread
Our task here is to ‘seek and find’.

Smiles Between (Sestet)

How do I know the pen is she
in just the words on screen.
Her little twists of language
her voice then smiles between
the lines of prose and poetry;
I know it's her I've seen.

A Set of Wings

through
all
the
twists and turns
the
owl moon
born
with 
a 
set of wings
the
choice of kings
shall
drift across
the 
river Jordan
and
all 
i
need is a set of wings
