Ginger moon
Pulling the tide away
From feet soothed
By water.

I follow. Further down
The river bank.
Until I see her mirrored
By water.

Two moons, each to
Each other mere reflection.
True of all constellations.
By water

I ballance on wet rock,
Called closer unto
The silent circular siren.
By water

I am tenacious moth.
Leaving all other love behind;
It's her and I now.
By morning

I'll be gazing up at her too.
From next to her rippled
Twin. Nested; buried
By water.
Smelling sapphire, looking mahogany:
The nymph's grunts cast demons of
Frigid feelings out of my body --
Possessed by her legions of love.

But the images of her left with me --
Of her warm self and sweet essence,
Are now in the mirror of my memory,
Reflecting like shadows in the waters.

nivek
the slow turning sun barbecues my mind
while I sit content in a shade of memories
Dreams of the night weave with fantastical
imaginations I had no idea harboured deep
deep beneath my workaday mechanics so
sublime I nearly drown in its depths and
occasionally come up for air peeking at
the today of reality whose time has run out
You and I are missing things
set aside, forgotten.
Dust falls heavy on broken shoulders
dislocated by light.
We mourn the loss of something,
though we know not the tangible feeling nor the name of that we lack,
just that it has gone.
We see it in others, a smile placed,
a hand held, a tear dried
and wonder at it's heavenly release,
as we lay chained at Hades gate by our own hated disposition.
I will sing for you a song of death, while blackness seeps from unclean hands.
I pray that you will see in me
all that others fear
and find it glorious.

This work is based on a scientific study carried out over many years


When I awoke this morning I looked in stunned delight
For a bright and colourful mushroom had sprung up overnight
And as the day grew longer more mushrooms did appear
Mushrooms of every colour mushrooms of every size
And it soon became apparent that there were fairy folk inside
Now I thought I knew my mushrooms,  which were good, which were bad
But the ones I see before me now are driving me quite mad
Some are short and dumpy some are fat and wide
Over there some white ones reaching to the sky
And so the fields now covered, a multy coloured sight
I used to love my mushrooms but this has put me off for life

NOTE: No dogs, cats, birds, humans, bushes, trees, public toilets,  houses, cars, waterways, mice, roads or pathways were hurt or damaged in anyway during the production of this inspirational work of absolute stupidity

Poetic T
Truth is a sour fruit
Its is better to nurture it,
Show it with
Positive,
Constructive,
Criticism,
This way the fruit will learn,
When it grows again
Will it not be as sour as before.
But to tell it is sour,
Does not help it grow, to flourish
Only impeding its growth
True is a two sided pip
Say it correctly
It will flourish, grow
Tell it with out heart
The more sour it will forever grow.
