committed road
chosen pathway

mapped
in the womb

written down
within conception

tattooed
in the heart

sow and reap and weave
repeat repeat repeat

weave and reap and sow
a poets lot a poets lot a poets lot

repeat repeat repeat
reap and weave and sow

red does to me what only red can do
it chose me from an ancient tree
bearing red fruit seductive and juicy
red is a colour that sets in motion
deep acknowledgement usually hidden

guesswork is prevalent the whole world over
and we exchange it like it was gospel

out of sight
out of earshot

99%  invisibility
99% silence

100% journey

peering into the crystal ball
some see more than nothing
your future a gift of words

themed fancy dress
vampires and death

the day of the dead
to be lived by all

the bloodsucker ball
all in the imagination

sign posts in your wake
you first reached through some effort
- and a whole lifetime of providence
guiding your heart toward love

the coming together in union
the understanding of frailty
all on the road but of course
not all at the same location.

misunderstanding is the most easily understood
all that weight of centuries past and days lived
all adding up to truth and lies and plain *******.

layered down like tree rings
each season recorded in bone and marrow

each moment laid down in the mind
each heartbeat for good or ill

the rivers of blood full of life giving breath
free oxygen suckled from births first gasp

fragmented memory needing healing
love to forgive myself and others

the wholesomeness so needed
to stop destruction poisoning the present

that so the future holds out great promise
a new self born of trial and victory!

following from first breath
Humanities foundation

the goal of love
the overcoming of death

the ritual enacted
the victory of love

joined deep as deep is
forever deeper

skin on skin
bone to bone

the great silence
the finished songs.

riding ripples from dawns first day
a touch of eternities hand
gentle but firm
a shared affair
making some of your own

confirmation comes in myriad ways
sometimes by deepening poetic sounds

loves invisible visible weave
all things in union
-marching toward eternities goal

leaking songs at dreamtime
a bird responds indignant
'you stole that from me, last night'.

a stairway to climb
head in the clouds
the great unknowing

seeping beauty
melding

cosmic roots
in concrete

earthen mix
senses

the ugly mind
scattered floral walkway

mind meets with mind
beautiful thought process

leaden steps
deep footprints

dust and sand
tidal moon child

a little bit of heart
a sprinkling of promise

trust and faithfulness
sandwiched

full belly of laughter
escapes its bonds

all that composure
disintegrates

now and again
explodes

-the fullstop takes care of itself
the composers rest yes

the ending of another day
-unfinished symphonies

-left hanging in silence
creation holds its breath

halting progression
stumbling steps

keeping on one direction
starting with a prayer

a Divine breath
lifting your spirit

the hand of an angel
when least expected.

universal drumbeat
clockwork timing

spiral energy
kaleidoscopic

fragile creature
left wondering

a song rises
animated breathing

waterfall bathing
concerted rhythm

body caressed
mindscape healing

water nymphs
otherworldly singing

words from distant places
plucked from memories

wrapped around experiences
unwrapped poetry

times of heartbreak
times of healing

on the road
always

travelling
through starlight

wondrous
cradled children

transported mind-space
open to distant galaxies

filled starshine
Divine countenance

a gentle light
infused love

shared mind
shared heartbeat.

a leap outwith creation
first cause enacted
and what a commotion.

surrender in the deeps
and deeper still

depths yet unfathomed
to enter in

sweet spiral surrender
to loves bidding

sowers and reapers

reap what you sow

love is umoveable

voices set loose
to heal? to harm?

one way lies ruin
another peace

holster your tongue
quiet rage

reconciliation
beautiful friends

twist of muscle
twist of fate

a road to travel
travelling light

each oasis
something learned

each step
muscled memory

travelling the starshine
each night to bed

- spaceship capsule
summers sticky sweat

words from thin air
laid thickly down

a search for melody
to be found

with a heartbeat
- silence your spouse

goodbye has swept me off my feet
I landed awkward but surprisingly free

I too have uttered 'goodbye'
setting someone free

freedom can be a stranger
and strange freedom can be

to water the Sunflowers or wait
-no science here
-no alchemy
just a love of flowers.

the Sparrows sing their hearts out
just long enough to wake me
from daydreaming

buyer beware
bought regret
brings sadness
becomes death

a seat for solitude
solitude for song

a brimming cup
to the sea

echoes across oceans
a trade route

the union
of barter.

reverberation of BANG
eons of light

voices of poets
sounding out the dark

opening the gateway to the divine
a prayer for an open heart
-let words bleed into the universe
a drink for the thirsty

baa answered with BAA
lamb and Mum

roaming the fields
eating the green

one soon to be
making up the butchers display

how do you experience waking?
I am completely f...ed
not bad for a spiritually castrated ******

sit back, do not fret
your accuser is lost

-caught their tongue
in their own trap

jumping from the present moment
takes imagination
before your body catches up
and you find yourself in a neverending future

cauldron, furnace
nuclear star shine

temperature rising
blood boiled

heated extreme
burnt out

an end game
accelerated death
