Haydn Swan Jul 2016
We are such fragile things
inescapable feelings that lock our souls in fire
burning from the inside with the flames of others
liquid thoughts that offer no purge
lucid dreams that remain out of reach
a touch on skin from another who cares
security in a loving embrace
all seems to far away
darkness falls at the end of our day.
  Jul 2016 Haydn Swan
Olivia Kent
My eyes were closed.
Shut tight as a vacuum trapped,
Expression wanting to escape.
The teasing of the angels taunt.
Play with my heart as feelings taut,.
Deep rooted running wild as Japanese Knotweed,
White trumpets serenade silently.
I breathe somehow smiling.
Lordly messages profess.
Take a deep breath, breathe out regret.
And the popes' white smoke speak relief.
Freedom is heralded, loudly in mind.
And now I live once more.

Haydn Swan Jul 2016
Screaming midnight chimes,  
hidden alibis illuminate your crimes,  
ferule moonlit beams of light,  
recoil in the shadows, glowing in white,  
shaking soul in the twilight zone,  
kicking up dust as you run for home,  
emotions take you by the hand,  
scatter away like the desert sand,  
cold trip in a purple haze,
eaten away in the last of these days,
haunted,  we are all haunted,  
ghosts of the past gnaw at our thoughts,  
searching in vane for safer ports .
we can all run but we can't hide
Haydn Swan Jul 2016
Tip toeing through the shards of darkness,
ever searching for the surety of solid objects,
creeping souls within decaying bodies,
reality is what we seek in a glimpse of transient sleep,
lies and slumber,
the antiquity of numbers,
naked bones swimming in a sea of obscurity,
nothing really matters
as the last grains of sand trickle through the glass phial,
stone pillows await our weary heads.

Then went out of the way
Address not found
Didn't and couldn't be called
want to reach you

I came across a horizon
Evening came down
Heard, you exist behind the sun
Not to fear cause you made
In the dark,
Anyone can't see you
Even not me too

However I wish
I will get
Dark come down as your rules
Find you
Find the road
Randomly
Restlessly

Am I in the same place
Or moving towards any of the
I close my eyes in the dark
Thought I'm black
I have mixed up the dark

Open my eyes and can't see myself
My weight is decreased
Going up into the air
Increasing the speed, have felt cool
Where am I going
Heard something vague
Slowly
More speed increases
I see a mystic haze
I go to the land of conscious to the unconscious

But I can't understand
My chest is open
Is to operate on me
Putting something else on the heart
Sent back to conscious

Yet I have not seen
But hear you!
See the haze again,
In the Songs of dark!

Haydn Swan May 2016
We see the bright artificial light,
the plastic, multi coloured packaging,
attraction is the unification of what we crave
and the imprint of past experience,
sipping at love as if to quench an irrepressible thirst
but find our mouths dry and tongue cleaving,
we point the wand at what we desire
yet the real magic lays within our own soul.
not about magic as in conjuring but the magic we seek in our life's in the love that we all crave.
Haydn Swan May 2016
Life on the edge,
feel the high but watch it bleed,
wind in the hair its the only way,
deal the cards see them burn,
burning rubber under a waning moon,
reapers breath on their necks,
see them in a neon haze,
their adrenal souls set a blaze,
taken in the blink of an eye,
two more stars in our night sky.
Written for two friends who sadly passed away in a motorcycle accident.
