Shells of Flames

Shells of Flames

In glory we set the purpose of Flames

The battlefield signed with blood of the hosts

The hearts we forget in thrill of the games

The endless confined by flags that mind posts

 

Now laden regret the tears of the Thames

For the bodies lined the conquests one boasts

Hearts aid and abet the hand that them maims

A closure to fret horizon of ghosts

 

Pray tell me now clear where do rivers flow

When thick with the blood they ravage valleys

I harbour no fear of underground glow

 

Oncoming the flood of tears that we know

The hearts that we smear in night-clad alleys

Shells of Flames in bud that silent we grow

Rivers run

To a stilting halt

Taste of salt

Beckoning

To thunders of Ocean near

What I once held dear

 

Twin suns rise

On new born landscapes

Dark-fed apes

Memory

Of mind sinking purple sea

Jupiter rising

 

Rolling free

The stones pick up moss

Blue green loss

Scorches peak

For the fallen silent plea

Prayer of the meek

Brink me peaks

Wuther me towers

Mull me spice

Break my ice

Bring me rivers where truth speaks

Shower me flowers

Breach me heights

Whisper me slowly

Shudder me

Through the lights

That speak of rooms in twirling

With bodies whirling

Pace me snail

Through loving windows

Tell me tale

Sell me stale

I will bring afresh a sill

That stands all morrows

Waking nights

From parallel worlds

The dreamtime

A pattern

The rivers crossed with lantern

Burning from within

 

My body

A departure tool

The mind meek

Back to school

In classrooms where the dumb speak

Their voices in heart

 

The Earth’s call

A growling thunder

It begins

Like wonder

Ending in dichotomy

Facing Netherworld

Sacrifice

A three letter word

Embedded

In my streams

Your broken body in dreams

As they take you down

 

They walk high

Above wilting stars

Their reign dark

Our fate stark

Destiny written in scars

Etched in our feathers

 

Soul weathers

Many thunderstorms

The heart heals

In the light

From coursing river it swarms

Energy of blue

 

IMG_2541

 

To renew

A leap of blind faith

Dark wedded

Starry skies

Waking souls discover lies

Under white covers

 

Moon hovers

Ominous silver

Lost star’s gate

It dissolves

Within the streams of their hate

As bosoms lay bare

 

Reach within

To morrows’ stories

I hold sight

Of beacons

Soaring eagles beyond might

Of Kings and regents

 

IMG_2532

 

We are Queens

Within our kingdoms

Bold reasons

Hold our heads

Above the valleys he dreads

Renewal our means

 

She gives birth

To our sorrows’ death

We inhale

Holy breath

Woven through the times on Earth

Chosen detention

 

Glory’s wake

Within the surging

Energy

Coursing through

The hand extended now you take

Psalms our intention

She sits calm

Pondering life’s ways

As Time flows

Like rivers

Our souls go through highs and lows

In dancing waters

 

Sometimes fast

Sometimes inching ants

We let rants

Broken past

Separate our hearts that beat

Quick admit defeat

 

The knowledge

It comes slow steady

Into minds

Waking souls

Of the chosen few ready

To live on the edge

He lived thrill

His words harsh mouth shrill

Skull beating

The heart numb

Errors of past repeating

His memory played dumb

 

We light skies

With crazed fireflies’ glow

Or dead stars

Throbbing lies

Bursting out of mind’s control

To clean mess takes hours

 

The clock sighs

As it counts seconds

Turning slow

Centuries

Two were to bear it the flame

Now one scurries lame

Phantom twin

Runs lone for the win

Ghostly foot

Joins the race

In pairs we face less disgrace

Battered time relay

 

He turns meek

His lessons now learnt

The soul burnt

Forged by change

He offers strong other cheek

Forgiveness not strange

 

Each other’s

Tutor and pupil

Lessons pour

The heart’s fill

Winning humility’s sight

Bringer of the light

Spinning wheels

Take me to rivers

Where love floats

Like blue thread

Searching for the needles’ eye

Lost in haystack spread

 

Sad banquet

Tasteless piece of straw

Her fingers

Like a claw

Reaching through amorphous frame

Death lays on me claim

 

Loosened sighs

A tight demeanour

Letting go

Of wits’ loss

Pale blossoms fading in light

As the end now nears

 

Peacekeeper

In between spaces

Of Angels

And corpses

Red with the beat of high fires

Consumption my seed

 

They feed greed

The undead that roam

Crawling Earth

With tired hearts

Unseeing eyes filled with dark

Their souls lost embers

 

Wooden cup

Holds blood of the son

They chase it

Their minds ache

Purpose leaves them in the wake

Morsel remembers

 

Consciousness

Play of light and dark

Unwritten

Rules play me

In he, mean he, mine he no!

Bring no corpse by tow

 

I travel

Light my burden’s weight

A compass

Golden age

An era running in Time

Friends like hair thinning

 

Keep the faith

Spirit words voiceless

A clean slate

Is the fate

Of those who walk in waking

Their hearts long dilate

 

Heartbeats throb

Through the ripping cage

Renewal

Of eyesight

I am centered in the chest

Where I watch you rest

Waters in rivers

Remember

The lazy sunshine

Uncovered

Discovered

Our creased and tired bodies

That night had stitched tight

 

We withdrew

Chasing the slumber

Your neck firm

Nose in crooks

Of those times I could write books

Tantalising flights

 

Inside you

Lemon and honey

The bees clung

The flies cried

Upon your shirt my tears dried

Summer was blazing

 

Winter came

It skipped autumn’s leaves

Fast hurtled

Blood curdled

The scream never left my lips

Smothered in silence

 

waters matthiaswyler ch

 

Outside Blue

Scent of jam wasted

Blueberries

Mossy bread

Knives tearing inside my head

Remains of dried fruit

 

Apple pie

Clammy like a lie

Stuffed throat

Faces gloat

The love is not for keeping

Like us you’re weeping

 

I dive lone

Into bleak memories

The lakes blue

The sun high

The heart brimming in a sigh

Plunge in Neverland

 

Forgotten

The path to surface

Oxygen

Rarefied

From everything the Heart shied

Tray gold food rotten

 

Within dreams

My toe meets your knee

Shivering

Stolen touch

Alas memories how they flee

With my sight waking

 

I stand still

The birds now chirp low

Their beaks keen

Hues unseen

Colours fuse on window sill

The glass a blue wall

 

They fly free

While I turn my back

Underage

By design

Running still on the same track

In childhood I whine

 

Bring me now

To this grown body

Dried raisins

Await me

You and I a haunted ghost

Abyss clothed in skins

She timeless

Runs through the forests

Laughter bright

Hooded night

A shield from morrows

Binds her to your corpse

 

Suddenly

You cut the ropes loose

Hanging hard

Clinging on

The loose ends ring emptily

The feelings now dawn

 

Bittersweet

Threads of silk flutter

You are gone

The clouds fall

Crashing on Earth they are born

Waters in rivers

 

Now I live

Unseeing eye strays

Blank stares freeze

Warm Heart thaws

There are reasons to forgive

I find many ways

Before break of dawn

Luminescence stirs me up

With traces of you

 

I follow the trails

Passive tracks in starlit steps

The walk to nowhere

Like a lost atom

Rotating in my own world

Eons from myself

 

You breathe into me

Through dreamtime that lies across

The rivers divide

We walk in shadows

In between dark and the light

Separate glances

 

Whirring like clockwork

In between what’s you and me

The moving fences

Wrestling with chaos

I cannot sleep the night through

Battles of moonlight

 

A day will soon rise

When sleep will be no longer

The waking Times shine

Of broken items

Furniture, relics and dreams

She had a room filled

 

The bustling places

Livelihood of ghostly gait

Simmering ashes

 

Mocking birds’ speeches

Tunes of ivory and stone

Cast in slow pavements

 

Slippery ridges

On banks leading to nowhere

From rivers of ice

 

Stretches of treasures

Meaningful pebbles of Life

Appealing to none

Cruises for the dead

Box of chatter for leisure

Frigid drooping shores

 

Songs of soft nothings

Of quiet little measures

Distilling poisons

 

A hymn to the knaves

The unrelenting few dazed

Strewn astride her past

 

Book of small paces

Featuring starlets and sods

Blank fading faces

 

Of quirks of the game

A Tale of wincing virtues

Of falsehood and blame
