A goodbye to royalty

A goodbye to royalty

Dwindling spot of light
sinking in the skies
Ebb of the sun’s rays
  
Wane moon rises high
Dribble of silver oozing
a stream runs through night
  
Reflux of the breeze
Bubbles of air in river
Flow of the current
  
Three weave the stories
Their fingers points of flux gush
with oncoming rush
  
The stars now retreat
The winds drop on rising tides
The throngs flood the gates
  
Drift in the bees’ hive
A goodbye to royalty
stages in decay

Ocean of Despair

You ruptured the wound

It flowed freely gushing blood

Clad in muddy red

 

He watched unmoved, still

While mother hastened lonely

Cleansing though scolding

 

I ran to your side

He silenced my every step

Held you in between

Hands wrung and helpless

Twin a brother could smother

Chastising, scorching

 

Confusion roared high

Blue Alice sank in the hole

As the well grew tall

 

Mother threw me rope

But my spirit cast in stone

Yearned for silent peace

 

I dwelt low a while

Yearning for twin fluttered

Peace soared through my limbs

 

Twin futures gleamed raw

More than heavenly pairing

We are our choices

 

Fools choose with the mind

Arrogance of all knowing

Heart seeing nothing

Token of eternity

Transformed in goodbye

I hoisted new sails

 

Ocean of Despair

Beckoned with the Tides Rising

As I set out slight

 

Ten turning to Twelve

Synchronicities strike Death

For second coming

Flawless and silent

.

The sun set like stones

Over valleys of despair

And sunk into me

.

Newly found nerves twitched

Endlessly replicating

The agony felt

.

Pleasure, agony

Through the same circuits altered

Every inch of me

.

Earth shivers then frowns

What cruelties it beheld

Bestowed upon me

.

Cutting inch by inch

Separation sliced us both

Into oblivion

.

Only piano played

Symphonies hushed to nude form

Of faceless sorrow

.

Stones raised me pillar

Of unswaying devotion

That angels cried for

.

You cried as I did

My heart bids you not goodbye

I yearn for your hand

.

You will sail on boat

I will await you on shores

Weaving our new fate

.

The Earth will renew

Time will stand still as we merge

Flawless and silent

I yearn to go Home

I yearn to go Home

What desolation!

Infinite sadness beholds

My withering eyes

 

To reach the doorstep

Look into the purest Love

And tread footsteps back

 

For it was not time

Shimmering stars winked

And bade me goodbye

 

With a heaving heart

And renewed sadness of loss

I left Source’s arms

 

Mind split like my soul

Orphaned without the Mother

I wander all Earth

 

Night time sees me wake

To the scent of her beauty

I yearn to go Home

Breaking the dark waves

Breaking the dark waves

Tears glistened in skies

As silver moon slowly wept

The loss of its light

 

Goodbye passages

Walks in realms of nevermore

Lead to new morrows

 

Your face in my soul

Sings dark haunting melodies

That spell twists of fate

 

Palpable, headstrong

Electricity of you

Shivers through my frame

 

Inky they roll on

Like the ebb and flow of life

Ensnared I flutter

 

A light in the night

Shines through the sadness of loss

Breaking the dark waves

Dark matter

Dark matter

13 – 14 March 2015

Pulse7

Poppies red in field

Danced to the wake of sunlight

Before stillness hit

Like an earthquake hearts burst out

From withered poppies that shrank

Crimson hearts pulsate

In their naked agony

Frail and bodiless

Slender frame responds shaking

As the hearts begin to beat

The throbbing hummed on

Beating to the rhythm of red

Cast on sea of hearts

Ocean in heart responded

While I picked them one by one

Feathers gathered pink

To gushing crimson fountain

Soft they had been once

Mellow in healing touch

Hands extended I faltered

Sewn across bodies

Shells picking up a new life

Hearts reached out in vain

Tight writhing chest echoed dull

As my arms withdrew sullen

All I had was ink

Dark matter spilled on my hands

As I waved goodbye

My mind walked on free yet tied

To a bottomless low tide
