Tumbling grains
The rushing of wind
through the trees
Our candles burn
so fiercely
but all too fast
We hold each other tight
but I feel the
tug
of my petals
being plucked

Autumn’s breath
sets the hills ablaze
Soft voices echo
in the delirium
of half remembered places
and familiar
spiced scents
Gamut but a silver sliver
of being
And always that
dagger darkly deep
Piercing my heart

On hastily covered faces
the icy lashes of
water whipped.
Figures braced against
the roaring fury
dark and surly
in the boiling dread
Through the pummelling
and up the heights
The rag tails catch
the dying light
Rose gold sculptures
framed against
a perfect blue sky

Wondering indefinitely
For that fatal maw
Upended meandering
A shining paw
Held up to the light
of a thousand leaves
dancing in the moonlight
hiding scores of thieves
Stealing my thoughts
before they begin
Sugar spun dizziness
of an arms-out spin
in joyful jumping
to our favourite tracks
I wish so much
that I could take it back
But forwards is the cliff
of the here and now
so stoically I plunge
raising half a brow

3000 days of summer
of living in the light
of dancing with our loved ones
love burning fearless bright
no shadow can take that from us
nor cast shade upon our dawn
our memories define us
the weave will not be torn

A dim half-world
of riven skittering skies
under three shining stars
Scattered smoking ruins
mark the graves of potential
The poison in my veins
from pre-recorded history
Utterly inescapable
Seas of sorrow
give unquenchable thirst
Catharsis but
an unreachable headland.
Ramparts of reason and rationale
blow away like tinder
in the thin listless breeze
The only path forward
a trudge into the gloom.
Wolves skulk
their eyes gleaming
from surrounding shadows
They know only blood.
Patiently, relentlessly
waiting for that first
Bite
Take a drag of my cigarette
Look up
and smile bitter sweet
For having found
those beautiful stars
for a time
I’ve known peace

Wondrous miracle
Golden shards weave through green arms
Lost by tiny screens

Lately night demons
armed with maps and
searching questions
are slain and drained
with little pain.
I walked barefoot
over broken glass
But if it wasn’t thus
it wouldn’t be me
with you now us
So I wouldn’t change
the smallest iota;
you’re where
I’m supposed
to be

I hear their voices calling
from arboreal gloom
The things in the forest
luring children to their doom
The pumpkin faces grimace
glistening in the dusk
Mist rising in the darkness
A cloying hanging must
A cursed hollow in the depths
Gnarled faces in the bark
Gentle songs waft on the wind -
then screaming in the dark
Villagers search frantically
kin missing from their bed
a hopelessness and sorrow
and endless, gnawing dread

Rivers of gold and red
collide o’er carpets of must
Flow to frozen fronds
caught in shimmering
shrouded white mists
Melting in longer days
to heavy dewy scents
of saps and green alchemy
twisting, sensing, exploring
transcending nights
Starlit glass sparkles
reflecting the roar
of maelstrom mirages
the could-be but-isn’t
trapped and impatient
like a pacing lioness
