Inundate

This is a place of rain

But only if you see it

I am perfectly folded inside

In squares and rectangles

Smaller and smaller, I fit

Until I no longer feel

That jagged shape

Causing too many canyons

..

On being blind

I hear the keys that turn the lock

Docking the piano strings

In phrases

O how you sing

Your jaw grinds, slightly

When you wind down that road

From disbelieve

But I can’t see

We grieve

In dark tones

Teach ourselves

In endless tomes

On Sunday morning

You write me when it rains

Let it pour

Out of you, out of me

And drink it in

My favourite sound, I feel

You are within

Always

Within reach

..

By association

I’ve got myself a new notebook

    and decided not to write in it

holding my breath until I nearly faint

coming up, grasping for air

exhilarating zest, always

at the tip of my tongue

bittersweet until I dive back under

trying to dissolve

..

Appearances

o that tree

you know the tree

and every leaf and twig and branch

you feel it to the vein

its very trunk is where you’ll keep

your sprouting memories

hidden from view

cherished with love

nurtured until fulfilment, and beyond

protected

and always when it rains,

it’ll be the roots that take the strain

reliably, lovingly

converting into growth from pain

..

Traipsing

when they fall

one by one

and don’t even notice

the changing colour

burden of death

Release

wake me

tomorrow

make me see

tomorrow

promise to

let my presence be

..

Within walls

As I linger through our room

In my apparent burglar suit

Glancing at those glass framed images you took

While concealing my reflection from your light

I cannot help but notice

How in mystifying our words,

We corrupted our lines

of sight

..

Of water

We are of water.

Where underneath,

Silence is an echo of thought;

A lifelong sentence,

Of memories never sought.

..

There is no Away

In this light I create my own

And throw it away because there isn’t any

I sound like I know what I am saying

without a single word

And relish in the thought

of an unknown desire

to take flight and follow that notion

My mind always one step ahead

in landing on the soft side of this blade’s call

where all sharpness subsides

My tender mind

needs no more motion

And I jump to make the water rise

to meet my fall

..

Momentum

white page without direction

it’ll take me anywhere

layer upon layer

I cry blindly

and see

there is no real intention

there is only me

without the big ideas

falling like drops of colourful water

still flooding the shore

..

Untitled

You were once green

Careful observer that sees

A refection in blue now

Of fire, silver scaled

Never fancy about colour

You rainbow tease    :-d

Do you have a name, I wonder

Can I call you everything

… I ever versed

Emblem of courage

You sure made it

And I am rooting for you

To disperse

In all unknown directions 

..
