today's moon

yesterday’s yellow moon has gone
endowing fair fortune none
yet the sky was beautiful
and meaningful
when he dipped elusive feet
into orange fire, as though to meet
in masquerade, a tepid new
so becoming, his hood of Venetian blue
to take the day away
but he would stay
for hours, illuminating a mysterious sky
never wandering high
as might
a guardian knight

now today’s moon
returned so soon
not with an enthusiastic face
more with no face at all, in his place
behind the dark clouds of ever
today’s moon was much too clever

set entanglement free

here is a thought of
banishing the space and the time
of diminishing returns
to set entanglement free
from human endeavour
then, where all is accessible
to write simple words
that describe the reasons
through rhymes
and play
the unique music of forever

Beautiful Killing

Today’s orb rises quietly
Over this dewy garden
Where yawning flowers
Awaken
To release intoxicants in perfume
Unfold, revealing secret hues
Styled with infinity

A half sphere
Already too bright
For transfixed eyes
Burns orange glory
Of forever
Into memories
That are this dawn

Oh blazing deity
Our star revealed
Illuminate this morning child
Transform
Beyond revolving horizons
Astound as years evaporate
Afore your beautiful killing

When

When you cry for an hour
Under an empty sky
When you crave a star
To tell the day
When the silence overwhelms

When you stand for an hour
Under rain clouds
When the world becomes opaque
And colours fade
When greyness is the morning too

When you’re cold for an hour
Standing on deep ice
When thoughts slowly cease
And life freezes
When time is only the past

When each desires but an hour

A Sky Of Jewels

As I walk the night
Here is
A sky of jewels
Beset in forever
And the colours
Of memories
Shine on this eve
As you dream

As I walk the night
Here is
A shooting star
To vanish forever
But a spectacle
Of creation
For a night
As you dream

to carry on

to carry on

when sweet bodies
are replaced with more love
and the spaces in days
become months and years
still knowing
those forgotten times
were so good
is all that’s needed
to carry on

when togetherness
can never be replaced
and the absence, just seconds
becomes months and years
knowing that
the missing time
could have been so good
is all that’s needed
to carry on

when dreams
replace moonlight melancholia
and the dark hours
become months and years
then knowing
that make-believe time
can feel so good
is all that’s needed
to carry on
