Apologies
Then All We Are
Monday, 6 July 2020
close of days
in their world of stone
each one of them is so well read
but all of them alone
our path with cuts and weary worn
meanders toward the sun
through battled lives gracefully torn
pity spilled becomes undone
as if we marched toward a prize
each step upon the late
still anticipating with surprise
our destination’s fate
and as we gape upon the void
having reached the close of days
we cannot grasp the now destroyed
through complacency malaise

Fornever
Ever, as you know, is
At all times
Forever, being the infinite
Temporal destination
Yet here we are in
Entropic
Demise
And through an opaque
Window of lies
And despite the doleful
Cries
We find ourselves in
Fornever

Calling
Calling those who cannot be
To you who want but are like me
Who have a heart yet have this wall
Seeing worlds but evading all
Calling those who have a smile
Would like to meet but run a mile
In a room will find the crook
Avoiding the most kindly look
Calling those who want to find
A means, a cure, to stop this bind
Then stop at each and every stage
Are too afraid to turn the page
Calling those who’ve reached the end
Be aware I comprehend
You’re not alone and not so strange
In post-corporal we will change
Calling those who care no more
We are together on this shore
Where we can speak and touch and gaze
No longer with anaesthetic haze

Trapped in Dreams
in this dream with overexposed mouths,
I imagined that the light and the wind and water
were stars and wine and wonder.
And as dreams do, they wander,
or stay forever a love, like a daughter.
Still, here is the reality for now, sun and souths
with corners, away from crowds.
Then fast forwards the life, but missing the end,
and the party, the dying in arms,
that wine (again),
the burn.
Regrettably, most dreams end with no learn,
for the ether lacks a pen.
And her compliance, her charms,
were wasted messages to send.

The Question Of You

This Elegant Paradox
When rain came, the morning stilled.
Sid’s ode accompanied a blaze of today
while a vast unconsciousness,
in another place, a different time,
squandered this perhaps reality
for the sake of yesterday’s meaninglessness.
Came those beads of devotion,
their involuntary role
chance t’ward purification.
Discrete pellucid enigmas,
yet anatomical;
resembling a thought of corporeal originality.
The fire spread;
gorging shadows, evaporating nightmares.
In its wake remained the falling melody;
a likeness of invisible rues.
Still, it’s good to watch an inevitable and harmonious
death by evaporation or incorporation.
With thirst abated
and a cordiality of degrees,
illusions came vapour, alike the dryness breaking out.
Arising, to take a spell of mindfulness,
the perception to witness through panes
such universality of elegance, with a trace of paradox.
