Poetry

This is the general category of fuckery that goes on and on and doesn’t seem interested in stopping.

  • Briefly bathing in the radiant beams from the sun

    Feeling them reach my skin

    And then stop

    As if I have the power to blot out the sun

    Send him a silent kiss, a smile

    Soft light that burns

    Cunningly gentle

    Enough to not feel the damage

    As he rakes across your skin

  • Some days the world bores

    The world bores

    As we bore holes in her

    The fountain is not enchanting

    The light through the trees is not magnificent

    The pillowed clouds floating past are just a reminder

    It hasn’t rained

    Then the next day or the day after that

    The colour returns to the world

    In fact

    The days that bore are better spent quiet

    Not spewing vile boredom at the things seen

    Boring

    They must not know

    They must not know

    And do not whisper

    To Fortuna or The Fates

    The day is boring

    Lest they decide to

    Help

    You cannot know what comes up next

    The day is boring

    But think not lest the spirits hear you

    And whispering back

    They intervene

    A boring day

    A day inbetween

  • To bring in the sea’s evening wind the rising tide of the air again

    Into the sun’s rays it pours not the rain that the ground pleads for

    But the gnashing thrashing pull of the anger of the sea complete with the roar

    Not a mind at ease

    As it tears across the shores and grips everything hard

    Tug

    Sending birds careening silent confused from trees

    The rattling rattles the swinging swings

    The trees screaming into the silent swiftness

    Water

    But it brings none

    Another day without a drop the ground craves

    The plants beg

    The sun’s rays fade into the evening which does not rain

    The grass remembers a balance the yellow cries into the dry whipping winds

    Something falls

    Crash

    An undertow lashes in

    The summer storm without rain

    While the setting sun sets innocently

    Idly

    By

    We did this to ourselves

    The summer storm with no rain

    Not even the hopes of it tethering us down

  • With a chill I listen to the words which came before after

    Wishing to reach through time and stay your hand

    Grab your arms and shake you

    You fucking brilliant man

    And how could you how dare you take yourself from the world you so blessed

    We miss you

    You died and went to heaven

    This I pray you this I beg you this I beseech thee

    Press my hand up against the glass and scream

    Hey brother

    Face blessed with emotions written in subtle twitches and muscular spasms

    I hate love miss you

    Oh how I hate love miss you

    How could you?

    Oh how could you?

    That there is no word. I’ll miss you forever.

    If only you’d lived to see

    If only you’d lived to see

    Your brilliance precedes thee

    I miss you

  • Count to ten

    Count again

    Find the rhythm

    Find the beat

    Search in darkness

    Search in vain

    Count to ten

    Then count again

  • Part cat part rabbit

    Can’t be tamed

    One will be stubbornly free regardless

    One will only appear tamed when the word is trust

    Hush

    The runner runs in spilling water everywhere in the most inappropriate way

    I knew I loved you before I met you

    But tell me what has it ever meant?

    I know my love is timeless

    Unaffected by the days

    Yet I know it means nothing in as many ways

    As the backwards days that continue

    How else to prove your life is better than to live it?

    Walking 500 miles never proved my love

    The time showed it

    Eighteen hundred reasons

    I can’t be won’t be and never have been
