To be More
is everything
you're hungry for
Only your touch on this
moment is too fleeting
to generate anything but
leftover memories of a tradition
A collision of time revealing
in a blur of headlights
what you'd written on the
windowpane once
"I was here"
So be here
with me
then

I should be afraid
Of what blossoms in the
shadow of a world where
fear is a piano forte we've
all learnt to play
The self righteous
crack of gunfire muzzling
the grim sound of glass
crumbling into the
grave dust staining our
hands with the blood
of innocents
And I am
Aren't you?

There is no more
Effectual way of stifling
The hard fought freedoms
That have proven so fragile
Than by barring us
From anything that might
Be called #knowledge
A strategy that oddly
Echoes on paper
And in every other way
A blueprint of oppression
I recognise all too well

A fallen shield mirrors
The red of the sinking sun
Staining the edges of
Battered armour where
Where crimson life bleeds
Into rust and pours out what
Remains of a broken heart
In a glass coursing with
The poison of betrayal
Love is a battlefield
And I tire of this war

It has worked so well for
Oh so very long
This #wicked trick where
Sophism is the bird in hand
The powerful hiding behind
Falsely altruistic identities
Words & subtle manipulations
Used to obscure reality
And reverse the normal order
While we're all looking
The other way

Brittle grey dust motes
Into a beacon picking out
The solemnly youthful
Features of #lost children
Crowned in magic
Lodestars of our last hope
In the gritty calm of
An afternoon punctuated
By the forlorn sound
Of cracked mourning bells
Counting out despair
By the falling
Of tears

Our relationship map
Has contour lines stacked
where the sharp edge of
silence drops into a canyon
you're desperate to fill
But the baggage has so far
down to fall & I kept climbing
for that #star you promised
So it'll be a while before
you're on my level
And that's alright
By me

In a hollow of stars that hides
Far beyond the midnight sky
We danced with the wild abandon
Of hearts untamed by sorrow
And it was a moment of freedom
There at the very edge of space
You & I, hands entwined
Or maybe just a little bit of heaven
And you
You were everything
And more

The Middle #Class Is Disappearing
A headline on a space filler article
And I had to stop for a minute
Because how exactly
Do you just erase
One of the largest groups
Of people in the world
And no one's staging a riot?
And when did we start believing
We're worth so little?

I would dream
In the way that words do
But my pen weeps
Ink blots & watercolour visions
Of fragile hearts caged
Behind the star fire
And earth song woven into
A prison of blood & bone
By the vastness of the universe
Each breath fueling the
Ripples of flames
That are a soul ablaze

It's kind of funny
In an unamusing way
How greed blinds you
To everything but
Your own reflection
In the rose tinted glasses
You try to sell us
Because hey
What do you care
You'll be long gone
By the time the world is paying
For the consequences
Of the choices
You made

Our souls sway
With the sighing of the moon
And the whisper of
Fingers & lips
Tracing the memories of
Starburst constellations
Onto peaks of shadowed satin
Descending into velvet valleys
Where we breathe our passion
Into the rising heat
Between the beating
Of our hearts

Night falls along starlight
Silvering the frost
That paints a windowpane
With an expanding veil
Of ice so delicately traced
That it cannot breach the place
Where once upon a time
A finger traced in foggy breath
A broken heart
Dotting the query
Beside the Why
With a tear

A fire curls smoke
Between the branches of
An ancestral tree
So widespread
That the Nordic roots
From which I began
Are evidenced only by
Ice that appears
Sometimes in my eyes
And the ancient practice
Of hygge contained
In the warmth of
The cup cradled
Between my palms

The sun rises
Behind clouds blushed
Copper by its breaking
The world below cloaked
In a glistening garment
Of dew damp morning
A gossamer shade of
Spun silk & liquid crystal
Standing guard over
The delicate sweet of blooms
Waiting to be woken
With the soft touch of dawn

You turn on a smile
And smouldering eyes

Waiting for the

So would you please
Just kiss me
If you're gonna
Kiss me
Already

Wide eyed and rictus smiled
I'm clinging on for dear life
First class ticket clutched in hand
And there's a #banshee howling
Some storm chaser's lament
While this one way train
The conductor bailed
Out of two stops ago
Heads straight for the tunnel
At the end of the line

When the wheels that
Get you where you
Need to be
Are older than you
And throwing a tantrum
Next to the road
You loosen the whatsit
Next to the doodad
Check that the
Doohickey hasn't come off
The whatchamacallit
And when all else fails
You threaten it
With a sledgehammer
And fire

sands of time
trickle unnoticed out
of an hourglass stuck
at half tilt while
a distant sun makes its way
through another
broken morning of skies
crashing down around us
before fading
into the dust of the
#history we learnt to
laugh about because
tomorrow is
just the same

Panicked guttering follows
A cold fingered touch of air
Heavy with winter's malice
As shadows turn and #shift
In a flickering dance with
The soft glow of candlelight
A two toned caress of
Deep black and golden flame
So filled with sorrow
That the wind stills
With sympathy
