its terrible to be so contrite
when proof of angels turns to shite
and pissing onwards in the wind
is just the least to ought, rescind
the faithful words, observe
the gall, inadequacy, the nerve
in these times of trials, believe
or bravely take the pill, deceive
the offerer of hands who sends
saying still that vinegar and paper mends
how could the foot soldiers so calm
defeat the enemies of mind, as vietnam
fury yet persists, and totalled is the sanctity
that died in blood soaked enmity

ago
ago is here again
the long time ago that should never
but now we have ago that will last forever
and the music and wine
everything was fine
maybe was only then
when maybe was perhaps as good as this
remembering maybes with every kiss
with first eyes for to keep
it never was so deep
future was a distance when
the only future was much more of now
and the future would explain how
we might ever know
such a time ago

not the end
he tells me a year will end
for him on the 31st, and for me it will end too
yet not a simple end of the year
rather, a time to reappear
it will end in a commonwealth of beard
(a grey me and a grey you)
whose reciprocal thoughts we send
to where prose are never feared
so, how does it feel, approaching end days
as the glorious past disappears with each new word
and where the completely absurd
future is surely ablaze
be born again as the new spells begin
though striking the dozen will always win

in platonia
in platonia there is no need to reminisce
here the memories coalesce and all there is, is this
where taking back words and deeds from the dead
cannot be contrition, rather misdirected instead
in platonia there is no need to exist
though imagining dreams is hard to resist
but these motes of dust are facades in sleep
where sunshine in ether was never to keep
in platonia there is no need to explain
because there was once, there is ever refrain
and as the end comes the journey will start
all meaning united, a singular heart

true essence
the petals of this rose are you
an erstwhile angel for the few
recounting as the layers unfold
and moments of your life are told
‘tis sweet, your music in the sun
and with the breeze notes gaily run
sending perfume’s heady wave
to drift amongst and so enslave
yet not the least is colour, you
of heaven, a celestial hue
to lend the season’s joy today
whilst painting memories here to stay
though petals of this rose be real
ne’er could true essence, you, reveal

dream of humanity
the blue faded
and the soothing waters
of our birth
receded
into an endless night
memories of creation
and the passion
for constancy
disappeared
with the iota
whilst the inspiration
for discovery
and truth
enveloped each soul
without retrospect
though the spell of time
had been broken
and spacial kingdoms
vanquished
humanity
remained precedent
beyond even
the supraethereal journey

this singularity

of life
this overwhelming moment
to hold a rose
within a lonely morn
in cold sunshine mist
… a pale blue sky
… such redness
… soft petals
of life
not the rose
nor rising sun
rather being of
unique experience
in warm thought
with freedom
to spend these limits
of life
so turns a day
with little time in mind
yet traverses the sun
through moon
… events and objects
… sensations and sensitivity
the passage in precision

virtually real
such tired times
“listen, the liberty bell chimes.”
to be in awe of coffee drinkers
sitting in mocha chairs
wondering who cares
for the graveyard stinkers
“will you come here again?”
did I ask when
of the tepid skinned freaks
who looked whilst they fell
but fought so well
even came here for weeks
so the landscape changed
as lives were rearranged
and the horrors of war
where one careless touch
destroyed so much
“this screen is what I saw!”

consider
those rainfall days
when arches of prism sunshine
illuminated raindrops
or were they tears
on sad smiles
raised from truth
in understanding
of mindful daybreaks

celestial moments
in whose care
we nurtured visions
of the blue
or notions of the black

given to observe

Haiku November
Thaw
Frost thaws on the lawn
Soil appears at the surface
Darn mole here again
Autumn Evening
Blue sky turns to grey
The evening comes in autumn
Stillness, then a storm
Autumn Reach
See leafless branches
Reaching for the sky in vain
Autumn takes the sun
Draft
Who is that behind
Silent yet is a presence
Draft of autumn air
Fire
Colours turn to grey
Sunshine hours are fleeting
Time to light a fire
November
Angels hang in stores
Twinkling lights on Christmas trees
Must be November
Message
Aching joints and back
Send a message to prepare
Soon there will be snow
Birds
Where is the singing
Why is there night in daytime
Birds on a sojourn
Cats
Rolling eyes at door
Yet midnight has still to pass
Cats know autumn too
Sky
Moon and stars so clear
The heavens are painted well
Autumn sky beauty
Red
Red amongst the grass
Thorns defend red in hedges
Apples and berries
Sleep
Why so much darkness
Why blankets of ice and snow
Even trees need sleep

storm and song
in this long night of storm and song
come the frightful words that took so long
to prepare, a beginning, a brand new verse
but to end the last could not be worse
you’ll know these times, the slow goodbyes
the exasperation, amid mindful whys
when pictures fragment with tears, they fall
as though to ignore what it did mean at all
then the burden of those times that were
protracted smiles and peaceful care
a heavy weight this night, alas
for an uneasy debenture still must pass
the thunder plays a reckless game
when arms surround, are they the same
so tenuous, a remembered glance
yet eye to eye could take this chance
and then, the storm gives radiance to
your grace, confirming still tis true
love is illuminated, and song to start
who might imagine should never part

life in fire
this burning sun that brings today
and takes away
the fear and all that dark can do
brings warming depth of truth in you
as light is to a synthesis
providing more than biosis
then here is one dichotomy
not visualized through astronomy
for, emerging whence a mortal spell
surpasses all that words might tell
and as the brightness does unfold
a story of the earth is told
where more than we could see transpire
created every life in fire

experiments with coffee on a wednesday
they walk by
oblivious to the you and me
and all this real worth to see
but we are low and they are high
a continuum
where days they roll
here comes another soul
add him to the present sum
and like a birth of pristine mind
the snow so white, the first to taste
the world, the you, such a waste
all turn with time, a different kind
pragmatic spirits
of humanity
who think that freedom is just … free
that living merits
wandering in the coffee shop
consider lives out there, unreal
i wonder if they think and feel
if they might touch us now, then stop
another wednesday
brings its caffeine high
and always wondering why
but never say

this is what it's like
this is what it’s like to live here
with the beautiful leafless trees
in the grey air
where thoughts can be anywhere
a mind can be what it sees
and dreams are so clear
here is a moment to stop, to gaze
at a cloud or a star
as time permits the perception of everything
visualised through the symmetry in a string
to recognize the journey thus far
yet appreciate a mere phase
being concordant with this place
the here, the now
furthermore, ubiquity and eternal
saving memories as though paternal
for posterity, would capacity allow
else living here will have no trace

the sad song
when the sad song plays
i find so many ways
to explore the finale
resulting in the same outcome, whatever the simile
the long days and dark nights
somewhat equivalent in surreptitious plights
lead toward an unfathomable abyss
where the universe takes the ultimate piss
this travelling, with a word
a tune and a sense that is so absurd
through a bogus time to patronize
yet contemplating these simple lies
notwithstanding the futility
of an individual, without hostility
still, one might appreciate existence
though largely in a past tense
so the sun shines or the stars glisten
but only in here is someone to listen
counting the diminishing days
when the sad song plays

Twixt
Twixt tomorrows and yesterdays
Are the nows that are real
The times that we feel
Yet nothing in the present stays
And the instants that we are given
Are invariably lesser
Than the experiences that for we, possessor
Have so arduously striven
Indeed, the consequential encounters that so fleetingly last
Inevitably travel such distances as to incarnate resent
For certainty is that our imperative present
Is no more than an inaccessible past
All we have is the diminishing image of love
As we struggle to achieve escape velocity
In order to outrun the event atrocity
Determined from so far above
And who are we to appreciate what an instant is
How the perception of when and where
Correlates with what we care
To qualify a formula, states time and space is this
Notwithstanding who we are
With visions so benign
On a tightrope, a faltering line
Have we travelled well, this far

Misery, o misery, where art thou
When I need thee so much and how
To replace these smiles on sunshine days
And steal the heart of tender ways
Misery, o misery, where is thy sting
Where is the despair that you can bring
Seize the walks in fields of gold
And all the pleasure memories told
Misery, o misery, where hast thou been
Allowing splendours, love, be seen
Across the ocean, hands embraced
And never trust or hope misplaced
Misery, o misery, in thanks returned
To reason, as this dream is burned

Autumn Gold
Autumn gold breaks free the morn
And riding hills are eastful born
Through veils, evaporating dreams
In hazy minds, set free it seems
As though to paint the night’s lament
Are streaming clouds in hue’s ascent
Yet with the glory of the fire
Even they should soon expire
Then comes a splendid cerulean sky
All questions disappear, but why
No reason for this daytime moon
So now to wait, recycled soon
Transition twixt the dark to dark
In such fall’s wonderment embark

The East Riding originated in antiquity. Unlike most counties in Great Britain, which were divided anciently into hundreds, Yorkshire was divided first into three ridings and then into numerous wapentakes within each riding.
The landscape consists of a crescent of low chalk hills surrounded by the low lying fertile plains of Holderness and the Vale of York. The Humber Estuary and North Sea mark it's southern and eastern limits. There are few large settlements and no industrial centres. The area is administered from the ancient market and ecclesiastical town of Beverley. The economy has a largely agricultural basis and this along with tourism has contributed to the rural and seaside character of the main aspects of the Riding.

To You
Don't forget the sunshine times
When a gentle breeze warmed the days til gone
Then evening candles caressed our glowing skin
And soothed away the years ahead
Don't forget the tapestry
Of woven songs, a shelter for
These simple souls with exclusive lore
Who would seek to kiss and tell the love
Don’t forget the wayward days
Reminding how alive should be
To feel so high or distances
How small the sighs from mountains were
Don’t forget the evermore
The promised skies of ceaseless blue
Such retrospect as legacy
Will nourish thoughts that travel on
Don't forget me

Into The Ether
Looking yet deeper into the future
I was still reminded of a remote past
With insignificant potential to nurture
A distance in time so unbelievably vast
Let me paint you into this picture
Where tethering a friendship will be the way
Not simply a theory of life’s architecture
For intentions are eternal but lives never stay
I just wanted to shout into the ether
To make sure this love reached you
Wishing it to fly higher and higher
Until it became inextricably true
Now, in this party that could last forever
A celebration of the warmth of touch
The embraces, which turn organic into endeavour
We might seek the sentience that means so much

amberness
when you’ve seen the amberness
an illumination with such tenderness
emerging from improbability
moreover, a sign of precise normality
when you’ve seen the amberness
across fields of beautiful loneliness
satisfaction is walking a dusty track
as the sun turns its back
when you’ve seen the amberness
clearly from the ensuing abruptness
of the twilight transition
this might be a glorious apparition
when you’ve seen the amberness
all that remains is divine continuousness

side-effect
they said that no thing is without side-effect
thus, with the ebb and the flow
of life’s wakefulness
came a tangential world; a consequence
that was awareness in unconsciousness
where the impossible was possible
and your seconds became my time
past actions became present reactions
or not
as the case
might
be
so
inevitably
it has come
to pass
that the shape of my tomorrow
has been fashioned
in the mists of dreamscapes
where spells, cast in cerebral shadows
were deterministic, however subtle
becoming the very me that was the other me
or not, as the case might be

occurred?
looking through this looking glass
to see a world so full of crass
examining one another’s ass
and wishing the time of yesterday
today
stay?
hiding from this new frontier
not letting in or letting near
inertia without form or fear
mere seconds might a life dispose
decompose
repose?
observing at this comfort zone
how the thoughts of if have grown
but in the end to be alone
to shelter in the spells of word
absurd

Another Way
Happiness is where you
Dream
Where everything is true
Or so it would seem
Where our star
Has an amber glow
Apparently not so far
For those that know
Understanding is where you
Imagine
Where the sky cannot be blue
According to choline
Yet the chemistry of words
Is all there is to say
Impenetrable as thirds
Hiding this universe away
To love is where you
Are
Where the reasons are few
And the methods so bizarre
But without it, revolving ends
The meaning will dissolve
Clearly, this message sends
Another way to solve

Has an amber glow
Apparently not so far
For those that know
Understanding is where you
Imagine
Where the sky cannot be blue
According to choline
Yet the chemistry of words
Is all there is to say
Impenetrable as thirds
Hiding this universe away
To love is where you
Are
Where the reasons are few
And the methods so bizarre
But without it, revolving ends
The meaning will dissolve
Clearly, this message sends
Another way to solve

Exclusive Kiss
When the light came
Was it you or was it the same
As you are to me
The light is … just free
And then there is this
Reality, or taking the piss
As this is to all
Where is the wherewithal
Might there be more
Alternatives, or one universal law
As more is to less
Here is the me … bless
Then friends from afar
Said this or that’s where you are
As you are to us
Giving vibes … a special buzz
So when we say, hi
Will you laugh or cry
As heart is to bliss
We send you this exclusive kiss

man in the screen
hello
man in the screen
now the windows have gone
were you always watching me
write the words
sing the songs
sob the tears
or do you appear
only when we’re alone
in the quite night
where do you go
when the smiles
raised by familial girls
quench the sombre days
or when sons ask for help
and worthiness
casts a net
to draw in close
hello
man in the screen
now have they gone

are you ...
… sure of this
as the day turns into night
and your vision loses light
that this is …
… all there is
when one hand touches air
and the other touches …
… where …
… are you
in the molecular maze
of continuous days
as true …
… is to
here, and lies
are to
endless skies
are you sure of this …
… where nothing really is
could hands in time be true …
… and is this really you

friends
only friends can hate this way
scars from making love, will stay
like marks that stretch with child
those nights, so mean and wild
forever, a process more than time
resembling comradeship in crime
seeing the worst there is in all
no rise before the fall
the black in words oft said
no kisses fore the bed
and warmth from just one touch
could quench the fire so much
then, a turn to catch those eyes
says all, friends have no surprise

sun
passed that long day
when leaves darken
and corn lightens
lovely moons appear
but the sun will soon be gone
head for the glass house
where the clouds are warm
and the view is clear
but without you
umber skin will fade
when there is no star
no centre stage

this
so, this is the world
where needles sting and stay
as sunshine falls while buskers play
to discover afresh the new tears
when old stars die, leaving fears
of change
but the order will rearrange
so, this is humankind
the dominant, the cerebral
imagining that this is not so terrible
where love has only one lifetime
passing more than its ordained prime
still, though the words are gone
the music might linger on
so, this is immortality
without concern for precedent woes
such matters hindering said repose
yet, the player’s tunes
and the fortuitous moons
are reminiscent of that gentle touch
when humans had so much

this drug is the mind
as high as you will

so as a pyre
another morning gift of fire
would only catch the roof, so as a pyre
and ceremoniously take aloft the ash
of brazen haven homes, of cash
for that is all in eyes of plunder
a stamping ground, not wonder
and as the open view is gone forever
there is no sign of man so clever
who has left the land this fate
but its anger will not dissipate
the red blood rising halts for none
nature and her sun, they know the one
another morning gift of fire
did catch the roof, so as a pyre

steps (song)
two steps to go
and back to know
the freeway days of couldn’t see
what was becoming then of me
counting each
as it would reach
the time to take such care of you
understanding less, yet knew
but the sun so fresh, again she came
to make each sigh or laugh the same
a past of losing
slowly cruising
through
the blue
not caring for the memory
not wanting familiarity
to be
so free
counting each
as it would reach
the time to take such care of you
understanding less, yet always knew

imagination's light
when darkness takes the security
a void of thought retains its purity
and the demons of forever night
are hindered by imagination’s light
so, in the space of timelessness
perhaps the very consciousness
creativity can preclude all fear
as though reality might truly appear
then take such precious opportunity
that could be no more than fortuity
to escape the mortal and molecular
becoming life spectacular
be thus a dedicated student of introspect
for darkness is here, but not so perfect

we know
though this is spring
a sinister wind has put the day to bed
maybe these times of understanding
nothing will end as the night passes
could the dreams of yesterdays
help to ease the transportation
into vacant perpetuity
or will eternity dilute
the memories of the kisses, the sighs
where might we travel
what is the purpose of any journey
a sojourn yes, but why
this is still here as we return
and that is the only destination
so, can the summer ever appear
or would a better alternative be
that these dreams will such continuum
as to never suffer the reality of tomorrow
and we know what the day will bring

hiding
as your eyes close, death is in me
with the escape of fleeting awareness
leaving sadness here, to press
another soul, and bear
the brief sense of pain, of life
this death will, and should
tell of hunger, thirst, isolation
for, amongst corpses, is the stuff
of you, and the time now to be
but more, to perceive
hiding in the darkness that is
or the brightness that was
is the fate of all who dare
yet the unborn have no idea, that
the passing makes it all worthwhile

‘tis never the time
to say nor do
for, ever is too long
and you, oh you

could tell an eternal tale

becomes none, yet
your story will persist
timeless, kissed by truth

the journey
as the character of this affection
has mellowed
from that new viridian
in an early spring
to a sun-bleached meadow
where memories
of the transient fire
remain true
in countless sighs
and limitless dreams
then here, on the navigable road
not the distant source
nor the destination
but singularly
the force of travel
that is love
the journey, without vehicle
more notion than creation
still, there is this open hand
to hold

enigmatic magic
magic is real, you know that
but beyond the window
they don’t always understand
how a simple look
can change the whole sky
that a mere thought
can transform a day
into a lifetime

beyond a waking time
into dreams and imaginings
of so much more
where now is gone
and everything is everlasting
where none is this

share blue away
as grace is wonder in this day
when sun and moon share blue away
then stars must take celestial high
keeping secrets, how and why
and if the world left few amiss
should soothe in dreamland with a kiss
fortuitous is the time we spend
in make-believe, shall not forefend
the way it is, and while seconds
come and go, amends
shall last forever
fading non or never

for i will always be around

no reason
i kept those words as you closed the door
the thoughts pressing hard against
whatever constrains them
for some reason
but for no good reason
but this time they remained
and as the minutes passed they filled the air
they were in my head, in the room
in the dark
and then in dreams
i kept those words as you opened the door
easily concealed within
whatever conceals them
now there was no reason
to tell you i miss you

where can we begin
travelling in the widest open places
that imaginings allow, where faces
rush for recognition, then they are gone
again, everyone
a fusion of day and dreams
within the grey, it seems
is insufficient to explain
or retain
so what of this constrained mentality
perhaps merely a higher order hospitality
with sense transcending its owner’s domain
yet, this is where we remain
looking outwards, looking in
with all of that history, where can we begin

hearts of our youth
this chair in the coffee bar is so cold
next to the window it always avoids the old
who sip short lives away
perhaps spending their final day
scrutinizing through the glass, made opaque
by dirt, that disconnects this wake
from the world in a frame
passing by with no name
yet a child stops, exhaling plumes of breath
contrasting vitality with this cafe death
looks, through unfocused eyes
into the heaving void beyond, and cries
stay free, in the joy of unbounded infancy
avoid the craving for caffeinated necromancy
where is your mother’s hand
to guide you, help you understand
a cold wind of the past
enters with an opening door, at last
food for miserable decaying souls
of limited but well conceived goals
this chair in the coffee bar is so cold
chilled by the vampires that are the old
no-one will acknowledge the truth
we are but the digested hearts of our youth

and i watched you so closely
in your faraway mind
with delicate hands
absent in time
making good the day

another an alabaster glow
but then the sweetest eyes
looking inwards
on the charms of a passing day
hence said your smile
of captivating love

reconcile
maybe everything is beyond the final star
another place or a new time, but so far
and if the hand of causation
scattered existence there, could imagination
recognize the gift with curiosity
comprehend such generosity
moreover, if reason should be found within
at the point where zero might begin
the ultimate, assembled with answers
released in melodious strings and dances
and songs telling moments in space
where each instant knows its place
perhaps then, to reconcile the obvious with the enigmatic
ought be faith in the infinite as axiomatic

re-emerging
as vast as the death after life might be
it pales with the depths of uncertainty
of where the beginning was
and which end we speed towards
of how the sentience evolved
in ether, where all revolved
a convenient duality merely describes
the impenetrable reality that nature prescribes
illuminating scriptures of hypothetical chains
that imprison passing time ‘til singularity remains
from where creation might ever escape
to recycle the universal landscape
thus, thoughts now lost in supra-organic mystery
still could re-emerge with celestial history
