a flowering reveal
myriad coloured secrets

lovers surprise
red roses

silence makes herself known
gentle as a Dove
-she descendes

signals reverberating
ever expanding circles

some, shockwaves
others, gentle reminders

kentucky fried
limbs and all

killer supernova?
the fire lit

there was a beginning for us
- the creatures of creation

too little, too much
words matter

carrying weight
beyond themselves

within the binding
within the cover
the unseen pages
stitched together
silence and memory

showing on empty
red light on

not a gas station
in sight

ramifications
a determined entry
the shout of the wild

riding the wind
sailing the sea

your words
in eternity

the Butterflies kiss
all her wingbeats
registered in eternity

fingertips for strategy
the caress of peace

entwined hearts
a unity of mind

wrapped up
-in poetry

seeping outwards
all the inwards
supernova soul

the journey of Man
evolution in motion
an eternal mind

from nowhere to somewhere
a false measurement
tricks of the light
a leap of the mind
everywhere all at once

dancing with stars
in bright sunshine

hidden celestial music
making itself heard

mind skips along in joy
hardly touching the ground

the secret of knowing
all manner of things are well

wearied with waiting
yet hope remained

this strong belief
all would be well

voice of a poet
heart of a lion

the gentleness
-of a child.

the sunrise claimed my mind
' keep your heart hidden'

a secret tucked into your pocket
when time will be fulfilled
then you may wear it in the open.

claimed and willing
autumns night
secret lovers sacrifice

fused together
starlight
eternal black darkness

earthen face painted
chalk and ochre
drumbeat

a dancing sea
salted lips
the forever kiss.

joined up letters
a family of oddities
the naming of children
by the parents of poetry

its bound to be a bit messy
when dealing with so much liquid

to come to an agreement
between so much hatred

radical intervention
can only be love at its utmost

the defining of Mankind
is never going to be in the hands of slippery criminals

held fast by consequences
the butterfly effect
made choices

free will
a way to go
to make a change

small can be beautiful
full of strength
a shared beginning

a very small cog indeed
out of sight
hidden within the machine

doing its daily thing
contributing
a small effort

the tiny spin
adding to larger spins
within bigger spins

sidled to her grief
enquiring of whom she grieved

my wayward life
my disomforted mind

look here my child
my love for you is ever deeper

-deeper than all grief
look upon my wounded side

see the depth of blood
I bleed for you.

a one way ticket
the bus half empty
destination unknown

on through the night
darkness a shroud
hour after hour

dawn splits the sky
horizon alight
closer to the unknown

one step away from hesitation
doubt loves to hang around

I make an effort
an act of faith

-never knowing
the road ahead

where it will dip and rise
and I alive in Heaven and Hell

one night of sleep
one day for awake

imagination spins her webs
weaves days and nights

one night for a star
one day for Sun

on this a mind rests
a heart beats.

seashore and seaweed
flotsam and jetsam

blown onto the road
each strong wind

a hailstorm of seashell
and sand

a drive to the shop
and back again

give me random for a month
-then soothe my soul with
-sign posts
- yes even the colour 'pink'

through the lens of 'self'
accusing those who ask honest questions
of the very things that that 'self'
is guilty of.

memories fight their way to the light
only my reactions change over time

venomous tongue
sleeping serpent

caged behind porcelain gates
always one eye open

watching the gyroscope
still standing upright
centred with the Sun

the short death scrawl
name and two dates

hammer and chisel
deaths ringing bell

'vacant' sign outside my window
squeeking in the breeze
a future written in stone

large as the sky
deep as the sea
transparent as glass

having mined the universe
for inspiration

all comes back to the ten levers
- eight fingers and two thumbs

Mr Orange advertising

full of vit c

and

burgers

and

bull....

sending of messages
some sweet perfume

red ruby lipstick
a face full of makeup

rosy cheeks to signal
-a potential healthy mate?

joined to the past
pulled onward to the future

a moment to wonder
the present to open

the Raspberries are all gone
some afforded a YUM!
drowned in single cream.

what face will wear death
the final mask

-a smile, frown, contentment?
agony, pain, discomfort?

tank running on fumes
coming to a...... stuttering......
halt

Have travelled East
travelled South
travelled West
came to rest
far North

never to know
this side of forever

-just how far
our poems travel

just how deep
the road of eternal

deadened skin
a goodbye to yesterday

sloughed history
naked we begin

the search is on
perusing letters

a choice is made
the keyboard clatters

the coming to life
mind over matter

stationary yet moving
a Holy spot to sit at

prayers and poetry
spinning through space

a helping hand
written in truth

within the dull thudding
- of prescription meds
a mind gropes for sunlight
for hours on end

asleep at the wheel
abruptly awake!

the truth of the moment
too stark to deny

slowly hour by hour
moment by moment

spinning and tipping
away from the Sun

the artic cold of space
blows from the North

little by little
more and more

Autumn and Winter
creeps into bone
