i am all alone,
sinking deep to drown in you;
July leaves coldly,
as darkness burns empty hues
and the moon cries helplessly
Gamaliel Jan 2021
it was beautiful,
there was so much violence,
and there was chaos -
our own embrace, drowning us
you and i, destroying us

(will You take me back
in the shelter of Your wings
and will You lead me
into Your secret dwellings)
just us -- completely

The sudden outbursts,
Your unearthing demeanor,
irregular tone.
Steve, you’re scaring the whole room.
Relax, it’s just a board game...

Work? Still permitted.
If you’re still employed, that is.
Your windows are grey?
Just paint another rainbow.
Clap again if you fancy

beyond the sponge
and spoilings that form my bulk
meat heart beats
but it's not the boast of me
it has tree like dispassion

but then, conflict... 14th / Sept / 2020 / Elsons Crag

The Forest firs sway. The trees bend at the top like sea grass with the tide. Cloud movement strobes sun over this carpet. I view from a cliff.
It stirs rare warmth in my heart half

No !

React under attack. the heart throws up monsters and little stickmen waving spears. violent breathing and horrid garbage and gore and villainous words turned inward and folded and pounded and dough and hurt..

i've turned from the beauty and crouch in a revulsion of balance

this foreign glow cannot be simply experienced. to me, a warm heart is one in need of defence ...as is one in mourning

Go take sometime off,
look at today’s forecast,
take a walk outside,
see the gray and the wrinkles,
son, don’t be like your father.

Grandmother's last day
will shine brighter than before
towards the window
where the flowers bloom with scents
where the fragrance follows her
First attempt at a tanka poem.

A memory haunts
Forever following me
Through the day and night
This memory never leaves
This memory haunting me
ali Nov 2020
i feel as though my
joys go to waste when there’s no
one to share them with

ships could sail slyly across
the depth of my aloneness
