Evolve us
Wind us up
Like a little toys
Or a music box
With a petite little ballerina
Eternally twirling
With her arms never tiring

Evolve us
The human race whispers.

New note

Blank page

No pencil,

no pen

Just a smart piece of plastic

With a yellow background

and a keypad.



New note

Blank page

Half-awake and

bleary eyes

Half-blinded by no light

As the early morning

starts to rise.



New note

Not sure what to write

A dozen thoughts

Spinning and twirling

And dancing and singing,

searching for release.

Exception
 Apr 2015 Mercury Chap

I am not one to write
words of love, but
Surely I must make an exception
for you

You pulled me up from the bottom
of the darkest sea
And into my hand you placed
a little candle to help me see

The other hand you took in yours,
Giving it new warmth
A heat that spread through my veins
and sent the fear away

We walked upon the diamond sand
and gazed up at the stars
Whispered secrets, shared stories,
found that we share pain

Now. hold me close
and don't let go
You keep me from falling down
Keep my hand warm inside yours

It's cliche to say that you
brought sunshine back to me
Even when no one else
seemed to truly see

I was lost, and I was alone
but you found me
I hear your voice, I take your hand
and now I am complete

I am not one to write
words of love, but
Now I have made an exception
for you

For you have surely earned these words,
scratched down in pale morning light
You treat my heart so carefully,
you're sure to do what's right

So let me keep
my hand in yours
As we walk
through the night

And see that the dark is

Killing you more quickly

Wound Me
 Apr 2015 Mercury Chap
Sky
Stick a hook into my heart
Barbed end piercing arteries
Reel it in and
Yank the ***** out of my chest
I'll scream until I cannot feel
anything
  anymore.

  Shove a needle into my brain
Thread on the end drifting through gray
Sew up the weeping chasms
Where I have gone mad
I'll scream until I cannot make
a single sound
  anymore.

  Pierce my skin with a blade
Shining silver coated in crimson
Slide it through the thin white and
Let scarlet rivers flow
I'll scream until I cannot hear
the words they say
  anymore.

  Stab sharp-edged swords into my soul
Vicious syllables tearing me to pieces
Rip me apart and scatter the shreds
Across the roiling ocean
I'll scream until I cannot live
in this cruel world
  anymore.

Autumn

Sky
Leaves, like butterflies,
dance on the river of wind,
fluttering high.
We talk about
pain
like it doesn't
hurt

We talk about
love
but we don't
know it

We talk about that
girl
over there, but
she didn't do a
thing

And then we have the audacity to
laugh it off
like it's
no big deal

That's all we do now
laugh and talk

Maybe we don't
know
what we're talking about

instead of pretending to have the
knowledge
we should get a feel
ourselves
take the pain we've inflicted
upon others

And maybe just maybe
we'll get how
big of a deal
it really is
Rock against rock,
Tension slips,
Pressure then shock,
First tremor grips,
Fear in the hearts,
Of parents for their children,
It's just the start,
Of the environmental villain's,
Attack. Through the Earth,
Everything shakes,
"Run for all your worth!"
"Quick, before the roof breaks!"
Hearts pounding,
The world begins to fall,
Terror is surrounding,
Prayers for Nepal,
And the zenith, Everest,
Feels the ground move beneath its feet,
The chaos is effortless,
Gravity's quest is complete,
Bringing down the snow,
That clings to the mountainside,
And they all know,
There's nowhere left to hide,
The fateful quake
Measured seven-point-nine,
So much at stake,
We see the death toll rise,
Too strong for too long,
It all goes wrong,
Tears from the young,
And loved ones gone,
The wrath of the world,
That keeps us alive,
Suddenly hurled,
Over a thousand in the fire.

The pain it caused is too great,
To just stand by and wait.
So for once can we work together?
Just try and help each other?

For once let's put our differences aside,
And help.
In memory of all those who have died due to the earthquake in Nepal.

Just like the way that parts of the 'Indian' Ocean
May once
Have fallen from 'my' umbrella spokes
So we are never landlords
For 'our' planet
Only rivers
Breaking and carving and realigning
The narrow seams
We touch
