Neon Beaches May 2018
My little astroman
You float through the empty
A tiny white
Against a giant blue,
A beautiful diamond in an infinite black
It is free
It is alive
It is wonderful
It is Earth

However...

My little astroman,
Utterly alone
With no one by your side
Sit and watch
As the world
Burns

In an instant
With blinding brilliance
A once Beautiful diamond
Has become grey coal
For this gem is marked with fury and fire

The world blazes,
it’s charred throat too burnt to scream
It’s eyes to seared too see

My little astroman
You know you will never go back
Never see the red
Nor feel the green
Never hear the birds
Nor taste the air

...you reach out...

My little astroman
no longer do you have a home
My little astroman,
Now, do you float alone
Neon Beaches May 2018
To walk neon beaches

The space between (dimensions)

A vibrant limbo

16 bit roads lined with palm trees

These neon beaches I walk

This purgatory between life and death

A simulacrum of reality that bleeds colour

A place isolated from existence
Neon Beaches May 2018
Look, look outside...

A wave of grey engulfs the horizon
It stretches forever
Slowly, it creeps towards you
It devours the very sky above
Surrounded by a moving wall of impenetrable power

All is silent
Not a mouse stirs
But the electricity in the air,
It reaches out, alive
It whispers to you
It tells us of times to come
Times of terror
Of gloom,
Doom

Skyscrapers and houses
Everywhere everything we have ever worked for
Utterly consumed by the creature behind grey walls

And all the while
Silence screams in agony
As it holds back
the demons beyond


The world explodes
Ghosts scream their hollow, dreaded screams
They cry and howl
as they fly around us
Rain falls like lead
from it’s gaping maw
Sleets of invisible death pour
Trees uproot,
Cars fly,
Houses gone

It is upon you
It’s ancient power beyond comprehension
It is terrible
Yet…
It is beautiful, magnificent and worthy of awe

Close your eyes
Leave this place
travel to a world far away
A world of silence
Safety
Close your eyes
And maybe it’ll leave
Neon Beaches May 2018
When rain falls and the skies are marked with grey
When the real world seems ‘o so far away
I reminisce about old days
the things I used to love
And the things I used to do
When I remember how I used to blaze
Blaze, Even brighter than the sun
I simply sit back
and let my eyes glaze over with sorrow
Because I know that soon
I’ll have to face tomorrow
Neon Beaches May 2018
I walk along the beach
The whispering winds whip the sand into a thousand little pin ****** that gently sting my calves
I look out over the lustful ocean body

Sun reaches out,
it’s rays grab Earth in longing
But she knows they cannot be,
too far are they
Millions of miles apart

But still he tries,
For his love for her is boundless
She turns her back on him
She knows it’s for the best
He doesn’t let go until he disappears over her horizon

Her blue green eyes cloud over
She mourns a lover who isn’t dead
She sheds a tear for him,
her timeless, Golden Lover
It lands on my shoulder

****, it’s getting late
