Month: April 2020

Civil

We would not be one without the other,

cruel words in comforting landscapes,

fear squirms like a fight for life,

sending shudders through my core,

or at least my skin,

cold calm,

living in my own shadow,

my ego could match yours,

humble liars and honest eccentrics,

lost bohemians,

oppression for the civilized,

agony for anarchists,

paid companies part ways,

unlocked by blockchain,

tolerance takes us to new highs,

where meat ends,

desire cooks on an open fire,

qwell the flames,

with sparkling mineral water,

from the south of France,

contention with probability,

equal inheritance of chance,

Tundra

Shouting in the tundra,

frozen compasses guide us,

you sit beside me,

no burden to your horse,

warm breath,

white expanse,

i think and shudder,

i shudder and think,

the sun sinks,

we huddle,

crackling flicker of fire,

sleeping soundly,

another day wishes us well,

lonely,

but in love,

clear stars in the sky above,

 

 

 

Storm

Animals watch the circus,
humans perform their tricks,
clicks, coins, delivery slots,
forget me knots,
chained to a ship,
crashing through a storm,
worry, panic, fear, desperation,
gravity crushes heavy souls where they stand,
grinding their bones into grains of sand,
pouring them into an hour glass,
measuring their timely demise,
beady owls hooked on silent discos,
dance the night away,

We Can

Failings,
unknown,
questions,
inaction,
gentle elephants,
stand defiant,
snakes squeeze me,
sharing my warmth,
exchange for their venom,
deep terror,
boiling in a Mongol cooking pot,
dehydrating on a Roman cross,
shrieks and cry’s of Mother’s and children,
I see nothing in the dark abyss of calculated cruelty,
wicked hollow laughs of capitulation,
companionship,
lasting reminders,
heated exchange,
slowly cooling,
perhaps we can change,

Acquisition

After everything was looted,
they shuffled around muted,
licking their lips,
slapping their chops,
beer, wine and whisky,
time to get frisky,
shit and piss,
fading into the abyss,
Nubian knights,
riding white horses,
thundering hooves,
splash of streams,
babbling brooks,
mountains and plains,
fertile forests,
cynical,
though only by acquisition,
will we ever truly know,

We were wrong

We were wrong,
time is vast,
currently we only know a fraction of the past,
new directions, 
turning points,
welcome change in course,
albeit by force,
learned comrades and fallen friends,
ends meet,
maintaining wisdom,
with scandal and whispers,
we stand with you,
as branches wain in the wind,
green shoots fed from roots in healthy soil,
guests in your garden,
we beg your pardon,

Appreciation

I am here,
stood right there,
moment so precious,
I feel the pressure not to waste,
savour and know right from wrong,
there is always the unknown,
unheard and unexpected,
there is also the comforting,
known and caring,
while they play,
I sing,
filling their sounds with my song,
my head spins,
like a new drunk,
fresh,
I feel the air,
cool warm water, 
vivid sky,
lights crystal clear,
I hold myself to account,
