Weak Within Strength:

Which way do I go

to the left or to the right

either way I go in circles

he said

she said

no he didnt yes she did

oh your confusion

meddles with me so

doors closing

doors opening

trying to run the corridors

of this confused discontent

grasping doors

to close them so

as so the demons wont escape

too late there goes the pre thinker

pre conceiver his friend 

following him so

what if and what maybe

the terrible twins

laughing

as they run further through

now the loons run the zoo

and all I can do is sit 

watch and wait

until they sleep

then I shall lock them back up

and return to a state of bliss

where I wont wonder

this way or that way

Forced Retired:

Stormy nights stormy days

cold blank grey canvas

stretched as far as the eye can see

rain drops and wind

hailing soaking 

within me so

old and tired

broken and torn 

and run down

the old pier isn't what she was

holding folks fast

with her stunning beauty

sights and sounds

that drew them 

from afar and near

trams and lines

all leading to her front court

where depart they did

to sounds of awe

her twinkling lights

beacons at night

as waves washed her feet

keeping her clean so

children would run along her boards

and workers polished her beams

a lick of paint after the winter

ready to reveal herself

once more to the public

as if regal in her stand

now these are but memories

as she slowly slips away

into the ocean that held her so

but even in her final throes

beautiful she is

and will be in the minds 

of all that ever walked 

her oak boards

perhaps one day

afore it too late

someone will come

and throw a life line

an save the old girl yet

for in her timbers

there's life yet

and just one more act

she would surely do

just to hear the smiles and woos

of a public less then ordinary

Known:

I've watched the moon rise 

over Paris

and I've watched her gently fall (Bh <3)

touched the night skies

soared with a Eagle 

on the wing

swooped and dived

until there was only

inertia of the moment

sailed across the seven seas

and yet still been at home

dived as if a gullimot

and yet never touched water

grown like a tree

high and mighty

and yet never planted roots

been a single flower head

searching for the sun

and yet

never sown seeds

I have been a thousand voices

and yet

never uttered a single word

I've lived for many a year

millennia for sure

and yet

died a million times

I've slept through comets coming

and yet

held on fast to their shooting tails

flying across the nite skies

for I am

&

I will surely be

me

~X~

Accord:

Dancing

turning

swaying

moving

being

all

nothing

floating

flying

soaring

uplifting

free falling

until there is only

the sound of burning

flames of seduction

desire

a higher tempo

as your body courses

feels the movement

the rhythm

trapped inside

surrounded outside

by the eerie glow

of a thousand eyes

as you burn your way

through the forests

to the ever eternal

elemental

~X~

Foremost:

How can it be better then this
when your facing me
holding me in your grasp
clutching me to you
keeping me safe
from woes and betides
that lurk in the darkness
what would be easier then to fall
deep into your eyes
and simply float away
their boats maybe sinking
all around them so 
beyond saving
but I will always have 
in you my saving grace
and whilst the rain falls
and the sun shines
leafs turn red an yellow
cold winds blow sheltered in you
I find myself secure
to be but always me
words said undone
passed and left
is of no consequence
but for this moment
when you tell me
I am I will be
the only one
to catch you when you fall
upon the rising tides
of the storms below

Living:

We can't all give love she says

her eyes streaming 

of crystal broken 

shattered diamonds

of what was once 

her dreams

pale face clutched by her hands

tracks of her tears

leaving runways

to me I pull her so

her soft sobs shaking her body so

against my stiffened chest

hoping praying

the memories of before 

will leave her be

as if birds

nay

Angels on the wing

to show to teach

that without this

and that within

there is no faith or belief

in a better tomorrow

with the understanding

it is a lesson

of lost labours love

in the knowledge

someone 

somewhere 

will love you for you

without rhyme or reason

but just because

your love will flow

and once again 

you will be whole

and surely healed

until then I have love enough

to hold you tight

and to be able 

to fight these demons

until they surely drop

~X~

Dragonese:

So she comes to me

on this moonlight evening

as if the sun was our candle

her beacon

my marker

her hand in mine

a walk we take 

to the clearing we reach

and silent we fall

our hearts beating as one

minds connected in that moment

pulling each other close

feeling the heat of our bodies

as we desire the time

to never end or fade

slowly the blackness comes

of the nite skies

and above us sits a thousand million

stars each a wish of love

need want and desire

and crave her I do 

need her always

gently laying amongst the blankets

as the fire crackles

like moths to the burning flames

love we do make through the night

with only the stars 

and flickering flames

to guide us

beyond the centre of our hearts

with whispers of love

grace and divinity becomes

the carriage of life

for us both

to where sleep does enter

as we lay in each others arms

~X~

Memories Of Sun:

Coast lines and sand lines

leading their way

unto the blue crystal

sheen glass sheets

as the birds gather

swooping and swaying

gathering amongst 

the buoys and bays

of a time 

long left behind

except ever present

in my mind

~X~

Green rolling fields

leading to the deep blue 

ocean sea

where the guillemot

dive an the seagulls

swoop upon

many a crested wave

as anglers cast

an walkers ramble

to many a place 

buying selected choice

shop keepers token wares

~X~

A Thought:

Echoes and thoughts randomise the mind

making sense of the clutter

when there is no use

words said words unspoken

all a pile or heap

upon the darkened floor

roars and shouts replayed

on and on

lost in translation

let alone common sense

laughs and smiles

heaped together in their own piles

as if not needed any more

drifting away to another place

I am but reminded however

of the present time and place

I find myself in

wish upon a star do I

as the moon shines her light

on me so

bathing my skin

in a opulent white glow

smiles and frowns

of thoughts now and then

tis but the life I lead

reminded constantly

how much moves changes

as we grow older

content in my ways

for now

happy to be me

in this here time and place

without a care in the world

then that, that are yours

tendered and cared for

as if your farm hand

for fragile they are

and tender they be

just as precious as mine are

to but me

for this is the life I lead

and slowly I float away

on a sea of ever lasting wants

and wishes and dreams

that it always be

stays this way

~X~
