Danse Macabre
Mike Adam
Jan 2018
Danse Macabre
So here I am
A couple of dead poets,
Dead people laying around,
Dead flowers
Dead souls
Dead end roads
And here am I
Dancing under the moon

This
This soul has grown
Through all seasons,
Hanging from the
Salt-cliff
Windblown.
This heart has grown
Through all seasons
Of wild love and
Dead unnoticed man.
This soul will
Survive the end
Of every moment
To goodbye
The earth

You should be able
To be naked
All of the time.
No sense to this
Eternal cover-up
Give the fruit
Of fig,
You may keep
The leaf

Belong....
Mike Adam
Jan 2018
Belong....
To love the
Universe-
Dark and harsh
Is hard.
Beneath a
Permafrost of
Not belonging
Possible touch of
Mercurial heat
May welcome
Or burn.
Alone? Yes
Scared? Yes
Loving the
Inevitable extinction,
Principle of alien
Love

Merge
Mike Adam
Jan 2018
Merge
Body melts
Glacial-
Disintegrates
Disgracefully.
Mind spins a
Vortex-
Chaos and order
Kiss beneath
An apple tree,
Bark ancient
As stone-
Weathered face
Sans eye
Sans tooth
And all the
Livelong day
A confusion

Burrowing down

Burrowing down
Molten iron

Liver made
Of sterner stuff.

Lick bark-
Grow tree

Before uni

Any verse-
Burrowing down
To core

Yes, I screamed
Mike Adam
Dec 2017
Yes, I screamed
Yes, I screamed
Between mothering thighs
Emerging into light,
Masked man wielding
Forceps.
Yes I screamed against
The coming of light and,
Ageing now in
Deepest night,
Yearning for the
Dying of all light-
Amniotic fluid
Of
The
Dark.

Yellow stamen
Sticky with

How pollen clings to
Yellow black fur.
Without love
A bulging of
Seedling sprouts.

Mad midmight unfolds

So old
Mike Adam
Nov 2017
So old
The old who,
In their youth were
Pride and beauty
In fateful combination-
Now stare in silent
Contemplation at the
Embers of a life unlived
And wonder how the
Years flowed making
Furrows of their skin

Time out of time
Mike Adam
Nov 2017
Time out of time
With nothing to do
And nowhere to go
Stay put and
Suffer it through.
Walked 10,000 miles-
Not enough! Not enough!
No master
No disciple
Walk on
Walk on
So far come
So further to go-

The gift of forgetting
Mike Adam
Oct 2017
The gift of forgetting
Of course
(The river soil
Runs
Oceanwise)
Of course if
(with freezing hands)
Your foot slips
Into the stream-
Sing like the
Dandelion
Releasing seed.
Thanks to tree
To soil
To love
Thanks to
Whatever
Makes you....

There is none
Mike Adam
Oct 2017
There is none
There is no
Difference between
The ***** and the moon
No mote in eye
And genius
No empty girl
Eternal
And glutton belly-
Full.
Love this-
This all
This dichotomy of
Failure and war
And deep dark
Kisses of adodelscent
Ardour.
I love you and hate
Hate and love me back-
Psssh you and I both nothing there is none-
Differentiation-
Stone in the shoe
And
Divine
