colours for friendship

a line of trivia can be so bright white
but no line profound flies like this kite
and danger is sipping from a tangerine can
or creating colours from a simple grey man
oh, let the notes flow, forgetting the clear
so long as a gift of smoke for friendship is near
as orange is sunset or sunrise in mind
maybe the years of the last or the next will unblind

the message arrives, or is it opaque
a thought on a sojourn but never awake
across the true ocean that real life makes red
wishing all days of the time were a bed
nevertheless, landing as sentiments sincere
make meaningful peace and perhaps they will hear
however, he plays in the backdrop, a burgundy shift
afloat in tranquillity, or maybe adrift

please take the hand of the wanderer tight
who plans the way of the whom will it might
let them in, let them pass through the holy rainbow
selecting a hue from the glorious show
the clear shallow waters that reflect, show the gift
washing away any anguish or rift
colours for friendship are all that we have
and, without that alliance, we are all but halve

deep dreams

of here, the now in dreams, or there
i drink your thoughts most anywhere
in tepid times when air is thick
with prayer, be not so quick
with lucid answers, state the true
are breathing shadows hiding you

of how, the ringing air, still here
i listen, each note it lingers so sincere
as moonscape trades the warming hours
although so distant, stars be ours
lay down to cross into the phase
leave transient consciousness in days

of all, this should be the one
for sure, so recently begun
the lines of smiles fall as the years
cannot explain, then song appears
again, but children in the arms of sleep
yes dreams, like love, can be this deep

which verse of all?

there is never emptiness
for in the black there is an awareness
of calm
a redundancy of harm
where the rhapsodies of love notes flow
harmoniously slow
where the scene
of declining souls serene
might never be
could ever see?

as the fingers pull tears
from the ivory eyes and years
fall from lives of fire
the terms of contract raise higher
closer comes the price of this
absolute remiss
the understanding of it all
was subterfuge, a fall
and here is the success
this is to possess?

november

warm sunny days are well gone
becoming part of the universal one
joining the memories, with smiles and the bliss
and so to reminisce
of crisp shadows and time to ponder
thoughts as mist, and wonder
on the nature of you
in your body of love, against skies of real blue

searching for a future of such idyllic themes
where these dreams
run perpetual episodes
from the darkness of imperfect codes
when the sea washed the world clean
and you ran on white sand, almost unseen
except for flowing hair
but were you really there

the stars shine early now
perhaps to disavow
the day, but as their light penetrates the void
blackness is so tenderly destroyed
still, dependable moonbeams guide in the morrow
of not all clouds or sorrow
for november has sunshine days too
looking out of these windows, again finding you

inward vision

it is the time for day’s order to take flight
as necessity craves the surreal flavour of night
so relax in the innocence of dark
reorientate, then take the walk
through the cinema of you
fly with remnants of the true

here is a respite from the hex of the blue sky
a fresh look at living, to still wonder why
stories with different beginnings, no end
as events never proceed, rather blend
to obviate the natural circle
perhaps even more hysterical

but all rises seem to fall
even in the inward vision of this all
where colourful songs can acquiesce pure perfume
for alignment must resume
else perpetual chapters of the misty azimuth
might endow a sleeper with eternal youth

but who

i write this for you
enchanting, one of the few
who holds time in their hand
and lets it fall as sand
who looks away
yet makes the day
a sunshine scene
you know what i mean

i write this for you
can you be true
with your daydream smile
stay for a while
never fade
as your life game is played
so full of now
wondering how

i write this for you
a soul so new
of fine angel hair
without awareness or care
while years will take
and paths mistake
your eyes say yes
for stars did bless

charmed

charmed to be here
to play the games of god or genes
and persevere
but not know what it means

with each mistake the power grows
as ambitions of infinity define the prize
while the rippling ethos shows
your disguise

the space as days exchange
the elation between each breath
none is so strange
not even death

and as you sit, for the world to see
never asking why or wherefore
skyward, we agree
there is more

here is a hand to take
who’s meaning might not be clear
yet make no mistake
so charmed to be here
