A wild flight into drizzled dark night
The chorus line thumping
Overcome by roar and strain
Of metal tested to limits as we race
An endless risk disregarded as thought
And the sound of a bright giggle
Wondrous eyes lit in thrill of threat
Fear has no place in this setting

A manic gleam and set to her face
Sharing a secret as we laugh and howl
Because this is who we are
For all out control and desire
We scream endlessly through life eternally silent
Until we do not have to be
And in glory we release!

Fear is a thing to be learnt
A feeling to ******* and freeze
Is it felt here?
A resounding no! Shatters the question
In the screech of tires
In the surge of adrenaline
In the wild savage smile of freedom
Of a shout into the night in defiance of order!

Does my heart race as we tear around?
Not even a tremor! Until I turn,
My face from the moaning wind rushing past
And i gaze upon this savage exposed
Lips pulled back in ferocious glee
A focused and fierce glare to the world
We deny life and taunt the spectre
Come to us, we cry!

The paths are slick with tears of the gods
The roads tempestuous writhing in deceit
I sit in peace, relaxed
A warrior companion at my side
We know no fear of what may come
For trust
Ah trust
Is the colour of life
Ever shadowed as a challenge to endings!

She lights as a fire of the brightest stars
And i would embrace her
Burning endlessly.

The soul knows no greater anguish
Then to take a breath
That begins in love
And ends in grief
In sunlit origins birthed
In forgotten nights surrended
But there are many pains
So many
They unfold as they will
And to dwell within them
Is to know nothing

Except, perhaps

In love grief is a promise
As sure as death
There will be many gardens
But this last one to visit
Is still
So very still
Not meant for lovers
Not meant for dreamers
Meant only for lonely figures
Standing in the dark
Taking a single breath

The trees with their mocking branches
Reaching ever upwards toward the sky
Knees on rough earth, cut deeply
The stone drinks blood and tears
The wind taunts both tree and earth
A laughing shriek as it weaves around
A form slumped motionless
Torn skin pressed without flinch
Movement in tears without cease
A tormented heart forever beating
Hands reaching for unheeded touch
The form would scream if only he could
There is nothing left to create this need
An empty shell is all that remains
A frame joined only by yearning
For a lifelong vanished
Best forgotten
If only
If only
Without the yearning
There is nothing
The earth would thirst
The branched would mock no more
And the wind would taunt dust
Only dust.

I watch here as she sleeps
This disconcerting girl I know
Her face relaxes, falls to slumber
But not i
No, never i
As the wind is filled
With questions unanswered
And answers unquestioned

Her breathing slows as sleep drifts
A mind slowly moving toward peace
I wait for those eyes to open
But not me
No, never me
I am not what those eyes want to see
In unopened eyes I see hope
In opened only closing.

World are like liquid, ever flowing onward
Filling available space, spreading
Into thought and desires, evolving
Escaping, mouthing influences
Supporting ideas and emotional responses
Communication ever building between minds
Connections to create a meaning
A delicious combining
Of joint souls

We search through life for encounters through words
Endlessly talking to find the one who connects
Speech that becomes mind, becomes body, becomes soul
A grand milieu, where the sum of ourselves
Becomes greater than the whole
Where words become our souls
Minds and bodies, separate and distinct
Join to become one
In new life

Mind, body and soul, the very meaning of love
A connection deep and profound that the words
That brought us together
Are no longer necessary
Emotion becomes all.

A mind divided by choice
When the choice is not its own
A blazing light shrouded by cloud
Love of one
That does not love in return
Can never be returned
That feeling remains
Trapped in a limbo of desire
And control
Forever contesting which way
It may fall

To exist in love is to fall
Fall fall fall
Drift continuous ‘til space
And time are meaningless
Only tears fall as far as love
Subsumed into emptiness
That crowds the mind so full

There is no choice to fall
As there is in life
Only an awareness
As the light burns

It will scour mind clean
Until nothing remains
Alone in the dark
But still whole

That then is the choice
To surrender to love
And lose ourselves
Or to remain who we are
And go alone into the great dark.

A Mind unfettered
A soul let free
To dream of all these is to be
A sense of wonder
Of hope discovered
An endless source
Of joy uncovered

A heart unfurled
A love let soar
To see a world as it may roar
A place of knowing
Of life reclaimed
An eternal font
Of comfort ordained

A laugh released
A smile liberated
To feel the sun shine
The passion of warmth
Of desire redeemed
A wondrous spring
Of merriment achieved

An enchantment unveiled
Imagination let free
To dance the steps as will be
A glory in movement
Of promise secured
An amazing wellspring
Of future procured

A mind unfettered
A soul let free
To dream of all there is to dream
A sense of wonder
Of hope exalted
An endless source
Of joy anointed.
