Flower o’ Life

The shadows are recedingFlower of Life
the dawn is near
Freshness wet and calm
All will be clear
The waiting has begun
calm cool quiet
patiently waiting
to feel the light
The well-being of
a clear silver pond
The sparkle of the dew
and still I wait
Like the silence before dawn
waiting to be filled
with life
with light.

To be touched with caring tenderness
like smooth softness
like water
The slow sensation of twilight
A star in the overpowering
blackness of night.

And slowly the flower o’ life
opens
Full and beautiful
slow and majestic
and I want to touch her.

A Page of Sweet Whispers

Sweet WhispersHolding her life in front of you.

Against you.

Slow dancing when the notes hit are so perfect in mood.

In feeling.

So perfectly in tune with you,

her and your mind and souls.

Feelings.

The warmth of mind.

Warmth of soul just between us.

Her body moves.

Warm, solid, independant.

Unlike the dreams and wishes of a slow dance

that tease me from time to time.

The fragile hand flat against me.

Her soft face

long hair

The night sky

the stars.

Music.

On…please yes!

Carry on…

It’s Raining

It’s raining Tear

in the still dark night

as it had

during the soft grey day.

There’s a continuous hush…

as the rain settles on the earth

and she lies close to me.

*

The sweet burden of her head

rests in my arm.

Her cheek

and long bright hair

contrasting softness on my bare skin.

My sweet child’s hand on my chest

soft, sensitive and fragile.

What warmth it gives.

It warms me to the core.

*

I squeeze her slightly.

She stirs

moving closer.

Her breath warms my soul

and my soul sheds a tear

of a single pearl

from my eye

for love.

And in the black night

many tears fall from heaven.

My Innocence

My innocence has condemned me.Innocence

The life I want so sacred to me.

Knowledge has made them hate

despise

loath

what we have.

They do not see my child

my innocence.

With no understanding

they cannot comprehend.

So minds twist

in disgust

contort in misleading

misunderstanding.

My innocence

so vulnerable to the shadows

to the dark of night.

I feel hate and it disturbs me

it’s evil and it hurts me.

Aches, hangs and sags my mind.

Distorts me

and my face.

My innocence will always be

will always strangle my understanding

will keep me blind and numb

to their thoughts.

Their sinister ways.

To their all knowing insight they don’t have

for they do not believe.

Best Times

The best times of my life are gone.

Black Friday.

Pick yourself up, pieces.

It’s time to move on.

Black Friday.

*

I lie so very well

What you see aint what you get.

No-one could tell

I have a wounded heart.

I may look fine

they say I look handsome, pretty

but you’re not mine

and I’m not yours anymore.

*

I was always a rebel

My mama says live like society

Well mama do tell

Must I follow a society

that justifies war

that hates all it can’t understand

and so far

it’s killed me and my love.

Where Were You?

The early morning mists

taunts your imagination and memories.

Stare into the grey distance

with intense fascination and silence

Vague shapes and shadows

ghosts from a past

meaningful whispers

words that didn’t last.

*

Where were you

when I was cold and clammy

Where were you

when I didn’t have any

or anyone?

*

Fears stride high

and play in my mind

for fun

I reach out in hope

there’s no-one I find

but you.

With a touch you can heal

vanquish my fears

With your words you console

I can hold back my tears.

Monster.

I hurtMonster

therefore I am

therefore I die.

*

And all the voices all around me

were the voices in my mind.

And all the voices in my mind

rose like smoke from the ground.

Made me weep

turned me blind.

*

And in the stillness of my coma

was the wreck of a broken heart

And in the silence of my eyes

was a sole torn appart

I see love…it swiftly dies.

*

Perhaps I’m too naive

I was always innocent.

Love was always loved.

Hate was just resentment.

Perhaps I’m too naive

I was always innocent.

I learned to hate

through other’s contempt.

I lost my innocence

when I learnt what it meant.

*

I hurt

therefore I am

therefore I die.

*

I always believed that if I loved someone, I’d be able to freely express my feelings.

People hate and fear what they cannot understand, cannot comprehend.

They call it a monster.

I am a monster but take comfort…I’m still loved.
