While summering in Blemm
A man with no stem
came upon a beautiful maid
who had a wondrous gait
but all he managed was phlegm…

Illuminate
In essence, we dwell
in darkness,
mostly unbeknownst to us
mostly accepted as the status quo
yet
we await illumination
a light, a hint, a whipser
never fully realising
that we carry the light
inside
between the thieves
beneath the surface
within
always and without fail
So, then…
why the darkness?
We accept the lie
the great lie
the only lie that matters.
As the poet said
Finnegans wake!
Will you?
Woohoo! …and a bonus Limmerick

On a Thursday in Maine
there halted a man named Shane
he commanded respect
and walked mostly erect
but fell victim to overborn strain
Another Haiku?
Frozen wings;
Lonely dragons unbound
Skyward suspected
Stormy seas
Adrift in an ocean of indifference
Purple streaks cast across your shipMATES
Little thought
Little mind
Little anything
Just hunger, naked, raw
waves lapping against your skin
Almost a feeling then
fleeting
then – opaque vistas
waters rising against an unreachable horizon
Yes…
Flight, soaring through rushing strato vales and nimbus peaks
Elation beyond all comprehension
Leaves you
Breathless
Wanting more – the rush gone too soon
heart beating catching up to readjusted reality
How to live now in anonymous monotony?
How to exist in grey silence?
Once tasted technicolor life is the only fruit
Haiku?
Frosted breath
darkness encroaches all
Bloodmoon
More
Difficult to breathe
Hard to think
Form coherent thoughts
Fingers slowly moving over keys
familiar and alien
poised over letters and symbols and spaces
seeking the ones needed to express
most succinctly
The need
the feelings
slipping into…
lack of clarity?
over the ‘W’, now the ‘O’
still meaning eludes
too many thoughts, emotions
Sadness, guilt, regret, pity, shame (a little),
how to right a lifetime of actions?
how to give and receive peace?
Lost thoughts, orphaned, drift across my mind
dissolving as morning dew at dawn.
Dawn, there will always be another dawn.
I think.
Obsidian
Black milk congeals
oozing through the cracks
Thickly flowing down
ever down
pooling at the bottom
Viscous strings attach
to your heart
flowing in defiance
upwards – into you
Heaviness and tearing dullness
settle into you
rip at you
nip at you
dissolve your being
leaving hollow coldness
Sweat tinged
Haze
In times uncertain
Through lands unkown
With friends untrusted
One must
Always and without fail
Let sensibility prevail
Lest
Much to one’s dismay
Both purse and kidney
Go astray
