I see the trees the trees
Speak to me
In siloquiscent tremblings
Of shaking branches
And falling leaves
So quiet and tense
A psychadelic panacea
Of hallucinegitic properties
At night I lay beneath
The dark star filled
Skies the moon
My beacon the
North Star my compass
And I dream of a
Less complicated
Existence where the
Air is clean the
Water is not polluted
And cancer is just a
Six letter word
Preferably never

Firnham Wood
The day dawned bright with autumn gold
where slits of light cut through the wold,
bright flowers stood.
A blessing rang of bird and song
as waters lapped the while along
by Firnham Wood.
At length red flame turned indigo
the moon appeared a distant glow
where blackness fell.
In shifting shades of eerie light
that pressed the silence of the night,
a lonely bell.
There in the pitch of midnight dark
reflecting on the hoary bark,
a flickered flame.
As to and fro it cast about
grotesque gyrations that standout,
in this time-frame.
When shadows take on shades of life
and sounds are tremblings of strife,
so we believe.
No other date within the year
can fill the darkness with such fear,
All Hallows Eve.
Now homeward bound, the church-bell rings,
caught by a draft it once more swings
in dawn's grey light.
That cast off cigarette burned slow,
the fire it lit, a furtive glow,
to all, goodnight.

Holding Me in Hug
Afraid - I wrap my arms ‘round my legs - holding me in hug.
Struggling for your voice alone.
You are gentle with my tremblings.
And yet I shake. You lay your hand softly on my knee. I feel the start within.
But there’s no slap with you.
And as I breathe deeply to settle shakiness, I feel the rock.
I rock - back and forth - back and forth. Wrapped - the embryo in womb.
How pathetically sad – how touchingly sweet
I breathe
waiting to be born.

An unloved woman
Is married to a mean ghost
She sees not nor feels.
Terrorizing her
And haunting another house,
He is like the wind.
Earth reels with tremblings
As his spirit takes a maid;
It can not bear it.
Now so repugnant,
She wonders in mystery
And is supplanted.
What predicaments
Caused spurn and frequent visits
Of horrific love?
