My heart in a sling
5 May 2020
The worded
Intentions that creep
Permeate
Nocturnal
My skin as they strike so deep
Within my chambers
I reply
In silent whispers
Wild at heart
I resist
The tame and familiar shore
That they have in store
I face it
Millenium stares
Into me
As I flee
The rhapsody beckoning
My heart in a sling
Reading of the poem:
Nina Simone – Wild Is The Wind (Live In New York 1964)
The wolves are calling
4 May 2020
Uprising
From a place of peace
The lambs stray
None to fleece
Tidings set to opposite
Where we and they sit
The mighty
Fearful of the weak
Imbalance
Will come forth
We hail them the future times
Hidden in my rhymes
Hark listen
The wolves are calling
I hear them
Prowling on
Within my head I respond
My kindred freedom

Toward river bank
3 May 2020
In air diluted
The wisps of springtime’s blossoms
Inconsistent ease
Small waterfalls pour
Inside my heart they gather
Derelict substance
They paired them by two
A single swan now gliding
Toward river bank
Reading of the poem:
Yo-Yo Ma, Kathryn Stott – The Swan (Saint-Saëns)
Finally I set me free
2 May 2020
There was a time
Everything was possible
The sun shone on our naked bodies
Entwined in slumber
We gambled away our nights
The way to our soul never lost
I lived on the edge of your cliff
Hanging on to your every written word
The days gone in a drunken haze of you
All that you mouthed or voiced
My every prayer and belief
Then the night shifted into your eyes
Startling the deceit within
Out into the open space between us
I learnt to decipher the lies
Hanging like black cobwebs between us
I wove my way back to the surface
Escaping a deep black sea
That engulfed your traces
Finally I set me free
Reading of my poem:
Burying My Troubles – Melody Gardot
Clamour quieted
1 May 2020
Sleepy sun
Wakes me in mornings
When I soak
Till my brim
Chances offered to me slim
Of the tanned comebacks
I hear you
In every footstep
That resounds
In the street
I wait for the day we’ll meet
In between moments
I relax
Clamour quieted
Your skin shades
Of everglades
The shadow of you now fades
As we rise to feat
Reading of the poem:
Morning Sun – Melody Gardot
