Be as wise as water
and take the path of least resistance
Be as mean as water
and drown all the sorrows can you find
Be a patient as water
and erode all the mountains over time
and
Be as loving as water
and leave oases of yourself behind

waiting amongst them,
bitter smile in the rain, like

On this plane
we are flesh
made from real tears
and freshly spilt blood
we feel the incisions
to the bone
of everyday assaults
some minor
spoken words
some monumental
trauma that leaves
us stifled in our tracks
it's more than a dream
and more like a
never ending nightmare

Sun
You we're my sunshine
But then I remembered that the sun doesn't just shine for one person.

Chasing clarity but seeking suspense
Chasing love but seeking defence
Chasing freedom but seeking pretence
Chasing life but seeking a fire from incense.
The ever-conflicting needs of heart and mind.
In the words of The Rolling Stones, 'you can't always get what you want'.

No More

No more,

No more leaving the heat
No more indulging  in altered visions
No more fallacies played on repeat
No more ideas fuelled by unjust cohesions

No more higher voices over subjects characterised by ignorance
No more judgements given in the dark
No more cares given to things of no significance
No more enragements lit by a meagre spark.

No more wretched decisions
No more storms of pensive dust
Instead learn from past collisions
To cleanse my soul I must.

Be like,
Persephone,
Walk into darkness with flowers as your shield.

Be like,
Aphrodite,
Grant your loyalty to nature.

Be like,
Icarus,
Dare to touch the skies.

Be like,
Achilles,
Always remember your duty.

The sea reflects a silver trail
To that vast starry envelope
An unrequited yearning
