Master to pleasure
5 May 2019
Shadowed skies
Glow in sunlit moon
The closed palms
Open soon
Twist and turn to hidden rune
Heaving written lies
Silent start
Journey in the wake
Slave in part
Teacher’s art
Ice he laid upon my heart
Never to depart
Steep the cost
A pound no measure
In the frost
Words were lost
Riddles once all my treasure
Master to pleasure
Reading of the poem:
North – Hammock
Tireless tides
15 October 2018
Random scars
Redesigned patterns
On our minds
Winding pits
Our arms gallery of fate
Tokens of our faith
Renewed vows
Gathered in the soul
Leaning trees
Quaking knees
The heart a banner to hold
Lessons for the bold
Moon and Earth
Took us through new mirth
Increasing
Tireless tides
On shores where we stood our grounds
Feet shaking heart still
Reading of the poem:
Sweet dreams – Emily browning
Solution to age
16 September 2018
Forest oils
Bark of hidden trees
Tanning skin
Stretched too thin
Stark visual memories
Flying with the bees
Inspiring
Thoughts revolve in mind
Luminous
Light beings
Within my fingertips range
Touch soothing and strange
Evolving
Telomeres lengthen
Widening
Shortening
Array of tunes on white page
Solution to age
Reading of the poem:
Being Time –Riley Lee
Humming pervading
1 September 2018
The doors shook
Windows vibrated
Steel ribbons
Waxed crimson
Walls oscillating with sound
The air pulsating
The Earth moved
Floating beds hovered
Plastic chains
Altered pains
My body between doorways
Blue light invading
Moon glistened
Heavy clouds parted
Skies alit
Narrow slit
Rhythm of my mind spell bound
Humming pervading
Reading of the poem:
Alone – Dive
The Edge of the Light
24 June 2018
There is dark
On the road to Home
It revives
Surprises
When we feel that we’re alone
It cloaks us like ink
We reach brink
Of our own limits
Fortune tells
Unheard Tales
The faithless the self impales
Carry no crosses
Heartbeats still
Raging fires cease
The disease
Self made ache
We commit the same mistake
Over and over
Withered eyes
Seek out the lanterns
Look outside
Not inside
Curtains ruffle as they slide
Concealing outcomes
The Light shines
I hold it within
Starry skies
Breath that cries
Outreach of my inner depths
When the will wavers
Seek the star
When the night is dark
Like a spark
It will guide
Know that in darkness you ride
The Edge of the Light
Reading of the poem:
Shine a Light – Banners
« When you come to the edge of all of the light you’ve known and are about to drop off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing one of two things will happen. You’ll have something solid to stand on or you’ll be taught to fly » Patrick Overton
The Interstellar vacuum
21 April 2018
Brittle star
Captured in the dark
Morning lark
Nightingale
Succession of feathers lure
My role so demure
Twirling points
Whispered in the night
Fading light
Rising sight
The miracle that anoints
Aching of my joints
Hissing fume
Winding through the space
Between twirls
Body whirls
The interstellar vacuum
It calls to me slow
Reading of the poem:
Interstellar Medley – The Best Of The Interstellar Soundtrack / Hans Zimmer
Lovingly
5 April 2018
In gardens
Slow I multiplied
The Angels
Lovingly
I gathered energy bouts
Feel the heart that shouts
Reading of the poem:
Watermelon in Easter hay – Frank Zappa
