Accidents on tracks
1 April 2016
Whisper soft
Bathe me in cotton
Breathe me in
Breathe us out
Garlands of smoke on a cloud
Coursing through your lungs
Stay revel
Under mists of fate
Cast the spell
Show and tell
Like children discovering
Seal the iron ring
I will bring
Yesterday’s anthems
Cast again
Nations’ song
We flock to where we belong
Birds of a feather
Steel leather
They bind but the frame
The mind free
The soul high
I wish upon highest skies
Over green valleys
Show me maps
That I may seek you
In journeys
Of resolve
We broil more than we solve
The mind a weak tool
Stay in six
Pleasures confuse me
Like railways
They split us
Carriages roar North and South
Accidents on tracks
Reading of the poem:
I keep having to choose again sometimes different videos as people keep blocking videos for whatever rights on music and images, leaving me and the reader/listener/viewer with an empty video link. Sometimes the video blends in still with the poem and is meaningful but often only the sound experience remains. Apologies for that but I can’t help people making their videos private or youtube just censoring everyone. I had to replace Nu – Man o to and Floater by Waldeck. Sometimes I don’t even know what to replace as I was not writing the names before and therefore don’t remember which video conveyed my groove at that point in time when I was writing the poem
Nu – MAN O TO (Original Mix)
Memories – Waldeck
Jamaican Bistro – Waldeck
Floater – Waldeck
That opening was good. But I love the show me maps stanza. That was awesome.
