glimpse that moment
only in arrears
when all-of-you forgot
the limits of all-of-you
the limits
of time and capacity
of wait and weight
of constraints and laws
the cellophane governance
that wraps everything , unwrapped,
and all you felt was
fresh raw unrestrained freedom
limitless creativity flowing
from head shoulders knees and toes
the unlimited happened [...]
A drop of incandescent colour
on my warming skin
syncopating perfect time
arrival unforeseen
on a tedious day
on a parched spirit
its beguiling essence unrolling
dissolving into soul
reviving reminders of
strong bright days
the look of love
the touch of hand
words unspoken
words knowingly unneeded
words avoided for
patient bleeding
time is leaving
yet love encircling
one [...]
The Russian Bear devours,
The Chinese Bear sits silently,
The Ukrainian takes aim, prays, fires and flees,
resolve to help,
reach but, no answer,
retaliate without bullets, a dreading insouciant response,
solve by beginning again,
search in another land,
satiate hate, with words of protest, heart calmed whilst rockets fall,
plans [...]
we start
more yielding than the air
we start
taking breaths of potential
we start
because its desirable
because its needed
how might a soft thing
survive?
how can a caring thing
breathe?
how should a creative flower
bloom?
oh so rare
oh so rare
let’s hide away
let’s protect this musing moment
so short
so tight inside
this hardened ball
this [...]
I battle with the truth,
so it will accept,
my lies,
perfect misdirection.
‘I did it my way’
what a tragedy,
what a lie,
in pretty wrapping, with a bow!
I need something new to,
interest me,
I need a waterfall of ideas,
to love,
falling freely upon me,
my focus lies beyond the [...]
Flight or Fight
Sympathetic adrenaline
the human response
the embrace hug or flee
Deep breath in now
throw yourself on the pyre
burn for all eternity
hold nothing back
think accuse and ascribe
you came this road
for none yet all to see
and now what is done
is done to all, for all [...]
why set out ?
when you already know,
who told you ?
now you are so sure,
what shall become of us?
there is no one to care,
when will it happen?
is tomorrow to soon,
where will I be?
when this fatality,
befalls and then,
the end.
