Pastures new

Grass bluer than the sky
ground redder than the sun.
Sky yellower than a lizard eye
a wide new world of fear and fun.

Selfless selfishness

Illusion, confusion, retribution,
a cycle you continue to indulge
with that little child in the mirror.
Growing isn’t about knowing
but believing that doing
will make things better.

Books and covers

Clear-eyes can only see
the ochre-umber shades
of who we write to be.
Those brimstone tones
bring wept cascades
to the fire that all can see.
Now aflame we do regain
our intellect and purpose
as we recount all about
how shallow...

Ardour

Glances where eyes meet
smiles that exist and extol
all tell that love’s first heat
is the warm silk of the soul.

Autumnal messages

Light shifts and leaves fall
breath turns to mist on the wind
our hours grow a little shorter
as starlight creeps its way in.

The sun wanders away from us
a crisp chilly breeze replaces it.
We buy cozy jumpers to layer up...

A night to remember

The shadows closed in on the daylight
we were unafraid of the cool embrace
entwined as we were in each others sight.
Midnight rushed in to change the day
and we welcomed the dawn together
our hearts and minds unswayed...

Content warning - Violent imagery

Hindsight

A punchy little number
in the red and the black
making me bet oh so big
but I get nothing but Jack.
A bouncer with no smile
and a fist made of stone
head cracked like a walnut
and there’s me - Dethroned...

Atonement

Rapid my heart beats,
breaking rules,
breaking faces,
bloodying streets.

They come for me at night;
my fears, my crimes, my strife.
Never letting me sleep
reminding me of the lies I keep.

We’re all broken things to be mended
in each...

Today in 1979 the film "Alien" was released in the UK -

Xenomorph

Not of this place or world.
Skittering, jumping or curled.
Silicon-based life in a hive,
taking our fears for a whirl.
Draw too near and witness
their claws and tails unfurled.

Sepulchre of fears

Each second, minute, hour,
day, week, month and year.
Let your determination grow,
and your passions blossom.
You will come to realise -
Fears will disappear.

Steer true

Relentless is your fate
to strive and determine
each course and action
opening every gate.

Arriving at your date
you’ll know this for sure -
Time was spent wisely,
greatness your allure.

Sleight light

Elusive as all quarry.
Prayed for by each God.

Inspiration - Holy nectar,
the never bottled elixir.

Forever sought after,
around every other corner.

Find it and be everbright
but if you lose its light.

To search is the cost.

A spark in the night

Like a candle’s waning flame
the sun flickered.
Submerged on the horizon
behind waxy clouds.

Air heavy, melting and wet
with raindrops yet to fall,
shadows swept across me
casting their pall.

Abandoning me Sol sunk...

No fear

Removal, absence, loss.
All feared for good reason.
The beyond, the unknown,
is no simple new season.

It is reality beyond our world.
Truth beyond our experience.
Gods, new, old and terrible
their laws...

Your star

Revolutions spin out of control
visions wither in the march of time
forgotten music moves my soul
old lyrics rekindle their rhymes

The fire that inspires us to go on
will never die while we feed it
shall not forsake us in our hours
will stand...

Vanilla

Maligned as boring,
the flavour of beige.
Simple, uninteresting,
bland, ubiquitous, vague.

But no! It is the base!
For all things of taste.
The line others differ
from and are traced.
The core of a palette
so wide and so deep
that bereft of its...

We make the difference

A whisper to a breeze,
strong gusts to a gale,
storms to a hurricane.
Well thought out ideas
to meaningful actions.
Live for the moments,
you can change.

A simple life

We laugh among the clouds,
weather bright, warm, breezy.
No ills or smog in our minds
our aims clean, our times easy.

Duties met, actions made.
Each day a pleasure to walk,
every moment aligning,
building a life unweighed.

Ever forward

The steamy skin sweats,
details of a storm of stress
girders of the mind buckle
as belts tighten for the mess.

Our lives knotted, intertwined,
strung together by moments,
second helpings of the joys
served between the signs.

We limp...
