Slumber Wake

Dream to live I walk the woken world Living a dream or a nightmare Or merely being An actor in a woken play A dramatic occasion Of historic progression The soft solid of ambient forms Or recurrent echos of transient words Spoken in surreal acts That fade away with news…

Expired Wisdom

The hidden poem within Once beautiful Like the first cry of innocence The puzzled frown of hazy perceptions A silent lullaby Once sang With an unbroken voice A pure expression of sound Uncorrupted and undiluted Like the purity of a teardrop Of a newborn Bewildered by her new expanse Her…

Hooded Lass

Make me a cavern of disinvolvement So a dainty lass may sit Build it on jeans burnished pew Burnt umber hoodie adorned Let her a Praying monk poise Over slender limbs crossed In sun bleached Sussex cadence Scrupulous silence abide Nose buried in black oval Porcelain fingers scribble Meshes from cryptic prose Her couthy In God’s given peace Tiny plimsoles wafts Air laden with hopes She labour the mind On pleasured puzzles

The Observer

Upon well trodden pavement Comes footfalls with light Cold respite interrupted Out of puffy blankets Dreams with traffic noise blend The observer emerges Unseen eyes open In falls the world Unfiltered and unjudged On his cardboard castle Arms stretched into footsteps stream Ears open, twin tunnels of wax Captive of endless partial conversations Where cometh these varied accents Animated or sometimes sullen or silent Briskly walking by

Incertitude

A Sober Tyranny

Arms trembles across his face Back tight in the corner braced Reduced to the fetal position The child within revealed Through finger slats stared At tall men stood Menacing faced and armed Shrunken to his basic animal And birthed essence unveiled His humanly heritage And contrasting appearance As angry eyes convey Him out of the human race And becomes a thing Barely living but clinging For eyes to stare long enough To see the white of his eyes And the fragile human staring back
