Jack Touchet Oct 2011
Friday heralds sense
Of being, carried cold wind
Through chilled skin or bone
Jack Touchet Oct 2011
Wet grass sticking to
My feet running contently
Through fresh trampled fields
Jack Touchet Oct 2011
Walk on by,
They scream and moan,
Their faith they loan,
And still I try
Jack Touchet Oct 2011
Fall into the sand,
Wall whispers it's command.
We know what it is we say,
Glee wrapped in our duvet,
She works in her own way,
Key knows where it will lay.
It works it's own way,
Pit spit amongst the clay
Jack Touchet Oct 2011
The burning words,
Rest softly in my throat,
If I could only speak them once,
So well that you would feel them,
I'd trade all the world,
Just for you to hear them.

Just for you to hear them,
I'd trade all the world.
So well that you would feel them,
If I could only speak them once.
Rest softly in my throat,
The burning words.

Where does it go,
That childish sense of wonder?
When does it return,
That sense of adventure?
We can sit for hours,
Reading stories and watching mindless television,
But why is it that we no longer imagine?
Jack Touchet Oct 2011
Why?
The burns fade in,
Deep,
Forming scars under the skin.
Scars so bold they burst,
A cacophany of shrill screams scratch softly,
Ever so softly,
At the thin skin of my inner dulcimer.
"Why?" he shouts,
"When the fire is set and the ashes,
That dark grey matter of life itself consoled,
Congeled,
Converged,
Are spread,
You do not rummage through the spoils of the spill!"
