Veil so thin
3 February 2016
She was freed
Twice in a neat row
The bluebirds
They sang so
Their beaks memories of honey
The bees had gathered
I flew high
Keeping company
With her wings
Lost anthems
We move in skies with phantoms
The moon our witness
We all die
Before we can live
My years stretch
Into skies
Desolation I forgive
I love green meadows
The true love
It is never lost
Just sleeping
Beauty fades
We may exchange hearts for spades
Breathe within shadows
The night’s kiss
A story of dark
Of lovers
And clovers
Clubbed to death by the wit game
In love we place shame
Nothing moves
The wind is dead cold
The breath warm
Tired bees swarm
Just around my window sill
As I face the winds
Flies hover
Suspended wings gleam
Tomorrows
Noise sullen
Picking up the mornings din
I soak it in skin
It vibrates
Snakes crawl up my spine
Sun troubling
Dream divine
We were free upon a rhyme
When teeth clicked tight shut
Fleeting Time
I gather my hands
Rubbing oil
Through snakes kin
The true which people think false
The best hiding place
All numbers
They are but targets
Floating within
Veil so thin
We discover what we choose
The rest we let loose
