Oh, that iron fist that hides In a velvet glove Intoxicating the heart Whilst ordering its erratic wanderings Into the hard-edged metronomic beatings Of a loveless marriage to mechanical objects So clearly defined To beguile the seeker of certainty Could not that purple velvet That flatters to deceive Yet restore our child’s play? An antidotal, […]
Ascending through misty envelope We reached the shallow dome Where Earth kisses Sky Each melding into Other In touching transference But with no Sun in Sight Until a pallid glimmer began to show Through thinning vapour Revealing hard-bitten disc Gradually eroding Into metallic sliver As sights and sounds of morning dusk Filled chilling air Until […]
There is a current Sensational tingling That flows eternally Inwards and outwards Towards and around Eternal rest Where it builds its nest Of spiky bits and pieces Lined softly To accept some body’s repose Amidst the hustle and bustle Of life in raw relief Where no body’s striving Goes unnoticed And no one’s isolation Goes […]
