Shades of night
splinter the ethos.
Chords of might
threaten, bark and sneer.

When red spills over black
And dots of cries
splatter
Earth and Sky
Then, we see the lady in Blue

She stands
cold in moonlight
with eyes of stars
piercing
in, in, in.

Fluttering up my spine
a numb horror
of the things to come
Oh God, oh God...
The dread

The Lady of Blue
Times of black steeped
in red.
Dare we hope or
believe her
through what she has bled
NP Apr 2016
Gently turning the pages
of wealth
of wisdom
of age

Feeling the nostalgia of dead men's days gone.
NP Jan 2016
No dew for me,
just particles of purity
blowing free and wild
causing nuisance and delight.
NP Jan 2016
The moments we clutch for
           Are the ones we lose.
                   Passing through
                            Not for me
                                   Or you.
NP Jan 2016
Taking wing over sea again
Where will my fate be, then?
Murmurs, hopes, dreams
A star in the ember gleams.

Left or right, not front nor back?
Mind rests from previous attack
Wind and I saunter the sea abroad
My heart be' open, my feet be' shod.
NP Jan 2016
Do we gi' a nod
or a sigh
for the young lod'
wanting to die?

For life is no' full
nor empty
Sates not tha' pull
by the time ye be twenty

Plod on, plod on
Hope in tha' kingdom come
neither sell nor pawn
Life, precious beyon' sum

How to tell one you have hurt
I wish to make it better
When you cannot?

For thee, I pray...
Please, hear my heart...
Though my head is broken
Take my love as token?
