meanderings in the daybreak gold of an almost summer sky

here is asleep in progress

still, under disappearing stars

where, behind these lids

soothes away the sighs

here is day in night

adventures one could never dream

in this dream

where live our lives

here is the story

as true as yesterday

or was it tomorrow

that we met

here is a forlorn echo

fading with a wish

and meeting the daybreak gold

of an almost summer sky

a breath

over the course of a breath

were those thousand smiles

on a million worlds

around a billion stars

under the sigh of a stranger

rested for a moment

within one lifetime

that synthesised forever

by words of verse

fashioned from a void

and turned into a mote

to become a universe

over the course of a breath

less became more

less became more

as lines drawn from pictures

of you

told a different story

hues became black and white

and shadows cast in portraits

of you

revealed hidden truths

the fullest scenes became pure space

when frames enclosing images

of you

set free an angel

4 o'clock

whenever lonely turns to singing

cold remains at 4 o’clock

and though the hint is t’ward an amber

dullness weighs in, don’t you know

yet the far lit features over

whether rain or slow repose

will always take a glance for free

to make such veritable movie show

but wait, for stirrings signal wise

could have been so different here

where the tumbler fills with fresh

and more to splash a tepid smile

cannot resist a breaking sky

as to the paints do wind and blaze

more of yester, none remain

when 4 o’clock stayed here a while

sincerity's neighbour

while you blow to make the seeds fly
the sunlight sparkles through your hair
on days like these
you don’t even care to know

incumbent upon sincerity’s neighbour
there you go again
looking
with those eyes

and the day flows by with the clouds
else who could provide light and shade
for your every whim
but exquisitely transient in each frame

where do you go when the brightness fades
when time closes another today
nonetheless, wishes to be in perfect reality
with dream companions, smiling at the outside

where does

where does the you go
when not reminded
or in dreams
thoughtfully so
divided
it seems

where does the time hide
when not in chimes
or days
perhaps inside
rhymes
looking glass ways

where does the life exist
when not in mind
or of luck
such a twist
this different kind
should give a fuck

who chose this one

when the breath
is all you can give
but take it all
you quiet diers

this day is the day
of such uncountable pasts
of unimaginable futures
who chose this one to croak

and you lay
punishing with those large, white eyes
and your dry lips say
this is you

©9th May 2010 Hey Hey

goings and comings

when eyes look nowhere in particular
they gaze to somewhere special
introspection, of god’s gift
as though the whole nature of reality
becomes unreal
and the reason for awareness
might disguise oblivion

then the rain
its cleansing gemstones
takes away the contemplation of nothing
and sensations return
your sweet faces return
in cool pastel smiles
and hands touch my hands

this is where we are
for not too long
inside or outside
the fleeting heart affairs
the passing strangers’ glances
the goings of old
the comings of new
