Ice
There's a ghost in your cabin.
Messrs Johstone and Blanch
were hang in the snow lands,
but i am not bound
older than birch
heavens no longer favoured,
familiar yet strange
a certain askance necessitates in advance,
for any half truth confessed
beyond words.

Loneliness takes the breath as I stagger
downside.
Whisper my repentance stated eager voice,
As I cross through the shrouded curtains,
to the nothingness crystallised  by dancing jewels.
Bedevilled by temptation,
I surrender my thirst,
lapse into a shattered education,
as I steal the reminisence of desire.

Like lightning they became blinded,
this was because of someone else's accord.
Projecting this and that unto the ether.
They became less striking
That was not the problem.
Merely an award,
a dispensation for their shadeless slide.

Give yourself extra time travelling
via Herne Hill,
at a whisper
her suede boots looked like trouble
an air of independence,
having already bad mouthed Sarah's Facebook,
thats not ingenuity
more dangerous double talk,
suppose you thought of a fuse
not wrong there.
He is nearby, evidently
reading the "Great Gatsby"
on the floor,
not clean!
intrepreting every word,
a bit like a typo
he secretly wishes her good luck
having already progressed to
"who does she  think she is"?

just clawed back the last grains of sand;
the  mountain having ebbed,
drank light, forgot the passing phases:
noontide October Moon,
heartbroken if I seemed ecstatic.

The dust plate plays havoc
its enough to unsound the light,
around the mountain top again.
Journeying south to balm the disappointment,
asked why and further marching down
the parade sees no end,
just a murmur.
A sigh left unsaid,
again stated it sounds different
as we echo to the Northern valleys,
where icicles lampoon our
uncovered heads.

Waschrell with due care
only picked sweet Cicely,
he stood and stooped
with vintage candle luminance
matching each windowsill anew,
she could never flutter brazen like
the Painted Ladies,
a botany student
should have known better.
