. the years come like the beautiful sun .
. the stillness of stone .
. you change in a sadness song .
. i recognise you as beautiful
. music, profound and strong, as a turn of the page .
. escaping the story that belonged .
. the years they will come, like a beautiful song ...
& ah,
and where are you going,
so soon?

. and are you listening
behind those veiling hands
splitting slicing redress
in all tatters
frenzied pains
in streams of sour
yr bathing in unrest
summer salt
yet motionless
and yr crying too
and i’ve come seeking
some sense
of quiet
beside you
in deep night weeping
in a smothered silent room
where you are sleeping
submissive as the tomb
light streaming in
before and beyond you .

Before Beginning
03:12
|

|
calling down the cry of day -to fashion shapeless clay -such a desperate voice -all of your hollow play looks on -blank, amazed -amazed by yr choice -
before beginning . yr turning away -eyes as dead as glass - a story over and passed - before beginning to say –
like the very words that clasp - to yr tongue so fast - you feel your life estranged -and gone upon the ether -like a vanished song of sighs - so ghostly bewailing -
before beginning . yr fading away –an endless leaving hurry -smiling melancholy -you spurn me again -inward ever-dying sorry - yr all apologies - before beginning to claim that you don’t know my name .

Where Vivid Bloomed

always. you pretend contentment .
always. confusion is permanent .
always. you colour all you see .
always. yr cursing obscurely .
every time i see you have faded a little -
you have paled a little .
where the vivid bloomed .
always. too bold and too confident
always. new heights you’ve scaled and won .
always. yr vanishing insecure .
always . growing invisibly smaller .
every time i see you have faded a little .
every time i see you –
you have paled a little .
where the vivid bloomed .

Paper Aeroplanes

tearing my eyes
from where they were,
and up -
to blue sky
and,
insight -
abstract and white,
leaves of paper
graceful,
tearing,
falling from flight …
paper aeroplanes .

Antipathy Whisper
04:22
|

|
when all the promise
that once was there to follow
closes its eyes tight like lies
made blind, choosing hollow,
then, turning from me,
you are sure
of dead yesterday -
too harsh, too sure,
to learn any more.
when all the whispering
that once sounded mourning
dies to a fading hissing,
dead-riding on the wind
then, turning away,
you are sure
of dead yesterday -
too harsh, too sure …
to learn
no more.
for, you are sure.

Ebbing All The Years :
close the wakeful eye under settling skies as the fleeting years roll by/
if i looked to you for a word of truth, then what answer would i find?
ebbing all the years -
shake the strength in me,
the ebb and flow of years i’ve known …
and ah, were my courage gone,
were i never strong -
would you deny all that I've shown
or where i belong?
(...if there is a season that i’ve never known. that i could not believe in then surely you would know of it ?)
close the wakeful eye, under settling skies ...
if i looked to you, for a word, a truth - what answer would I find?

Biog stuff? It’s always changing. Re creativity, a wise man said: ‘‘It doesn’t matter where, as long as it’s out of this world’’. This seems a good way to feel about it all ... the music should be like a drugged dream, poem, hope, prayer - probably a blues .
