Tainted veils that fall

Blue shadows

Overarching reach

Into mind

Wind patterns

Blowing with the Heart that yearns

For tomorrow’s seed

 

Foreign breed

We are from the stars

Dust of space

Silken trace

Flowing from infinite dams

Waters of dreamland

 

Overflow

Spinning into soul

Threaded streams

Made of dreams

Pulsating within the Eye

Gathered momentum

 

Curtains split

Inner feelings stir

Mind retreats

The door slams

Hushed countenance repealing

The call of doorways

 

Mirrored fins

Remnants of the tale

Echoed voice

Call of whale

Replicating ancestors

Calling through pitch black

 

Souls recall

Meanings of somewhere

A lost home

Forgotten

Discarding sheen now rotten

Tainted veils that fall

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

It is done

The numb look away

The good cry

The bad smile

The music goes on a while

Before curtains fall

 

Bleak recall

Bis repetita

Non placent

Moving on

The art of dramaturgy

Through comedy’s peaks

 

Twined effort

Compounding inches

Of the flesh

Quarter pound

The quakes in hundreds resound

Of flailing senses

 

The garish

In hues of Toulouse

Colours me

Split rainbows

Released in dreams nightmarish

Fascinating haunt

 

The boys taunt

The stray kitten meek

Their eyes cruel

Their minds fuel

Imagination Hydes seek

To play with the prey

 

Wilting zone

Surreptitious play

For undead

Kingdoms rise

Survivors none the less wise

A black crown to hone

Our traces

Our traces

The battle

Against hopelessness

Repeated

Endlessly

Within the soul restlessness

Killer of the dreams

 

The days fly

Repeated measures

The pace slow

Hesitant

Walking behind lost treasures

Our selves a shadow

 

We are lost

Cast in wilderness

Our traces

Running roots

Within futures’ past faces

Faded memories

Our burdens

The sum of sorrows

We carry

Their dead gait

Knees caving under the weight

Of wasted morrows

 

Open heart

Let the sorrow drip

Like the rain

Kissing Earth

See in their embrace rebirth

Of inner children

 

We were once

The kings of playgrounds

Our chests bare

Laid down hair

The dark stringent marks of Time

Still unwoven threads

 

Soul carefree

We danced with the winds

That shook fierce

All the fires

Within heart carving desires

The mind a wild bird

 

Bleak routine

Settling in with hooks

Anchored us

Rooted feet

Day by day we faced defeat

Of the larky times

 

The dreams dreamt

They are lost in mists

Read in books

Blown in winds

Paper scattered now rescinds

Every magic word

The Swan Song

The Swan Song

Blue ribbons

Hang from the dark skies

As the rains

Fill the plains

With the remains of seasons

Spent in wasted stance

 

Plush meadows

Once breathed laughter’s lines

As the sun

Shone brightly

Upon yards now unsightly

A blossom of graves

 

They built caves

Within heathen grounds

Released hounds

On the weak

Their kings grovel as we speak

Their battlefields red

 

Newly wed

The bells ring for you

Pealing love

High above

The cries to bring out the dead

As the black tides sweep

 

Put to rest

Soul in house arrest

The moonbeams

Hush its screams

It wanes withers but for dreams

Daily sustenance

Daylight broad

The waking penance

Where I walk

Where I talk

My mind in slow resonance

With the sleeping hordes

 

Iron rod

Piercing my ribcage

They seek rage

Through outrage

The body feels mind repeals

The soul mere stillness

 

Walk along

I will recount lives

Filling you

With wonders

From deep wells I draw splendors

My mouth a brush stroke

 

We relive

Many lost embers

The frail heart

Remembers

Feelings more than brief memoirs

Stories for boudoirs

 

United

The pieces of us

They sing loud

The Swan Song

Crystalline drops that take us

To where we belong

The night wears

My limitless frame

Like a cloak

Of darkness

Concealing the light within

My endless source bright

 

Soul awake

Watches as they quake

Minds clinging

Desperate

To a grey world now dying

Broken synapses

 

Weak attempts

Mending the bridges

Stitching seams

Killing dreams

Pushing dreamers to ridges

End of the journey

 

Infinite

The rays of the heart

They soar high

Into sky

Explosion of truths in lie

Cosmic clarity

 

Scarcity

Fabricated scheme

Enslaving

Paths of love

Clipping the wings of the dove

Of lost abundance

 

We will reach

The valleys of hope

Downward slope

Upward push

Known forces of resistance

All fake rules to breach

Grey dawn awakens

Sleepy grasshoppers stretching

In drizzle of light

Idle thoughts in the half-light

Stir lazily in my mind

 

Silent butterflies

Flutter in the morning rays

That slowly emerge

My restless hands stretch outwards

Craving gift of the sun’s warmth

 

Silent observer

Tiny sparrow lands promptly

Perched on my fingers

Turned master of life and death

I lift my hand gingerly

 

The bird on the hand

Watching clouds fly in the sky

Blue dreams of springtime

Within bosom hopes of sun

Spiral towards lost freedom

 

Wanton prisoner

Delaying its onward flight

The sparrow hops twice

Curious mind discovering

I repeat the lost trials

 

The clouds gather dark

Their rims stripped of all linings

Stand dry tone on tone

Knaves take shelter the soonest

While the brave dance in the storms

De nos chairs réunies éternel reposoir / Of our flesh united eternal altars

Les distances anoblies aux lisières de l’émoi

Que le cœur étreint fort lors le cerveau médit

Surannées établies les limites de ce moi

Vieil orgueil en soi mort que l’intérieur prédit

 

Règle de base rétablie la fusion unique loi

Enchevêtrement sort que destin expédie

Résistance affaiblie mollesse de bon aloi

Que la danse de nos corps à ce futur dédie

 

Je vis d’illusions fermes flottant d’entre viscères

Des rêves bleus infinis suintant en moi le soir

Si ambigus les termes de ces mots qui lacèrent

 

Paroles creuses impunies le géant arrosoir

Inondant cœurs qui germent comme dans une vaste rizière

De nos chairs réunies éternel reposoir

Of our flesh united eternal altars

(Translation of an Italian sonnet written in French. Original version above or here)

1 May 2016

Distances ennobled in the fringes of emotion

The heart hugs hard while the brain slanders

Outdated established the limits of this me

Old pride in oneself death that the inside predicts

 

Basic rule restored the merger only law

Entanglement fate that destiny expedites

Weakened resistance pliability a good sign

That the dance of our bodies dedicates to this future

 

I live of firm illusions floating between viscera

Infinite blue dreams seeping into me at night

So ambiguous the terms of these words that lacerate

 

Empty unpunished words the giant watering can

Flooding hearts that germinate like a vast paddy field

Of our flesh united eternal altars

Losing touch

Losing touch

Caring much

Flames in heart a pyre

Soul outlet

Part regret

Equal portions of the two

The fear, the desire

 

Climb higher

Mountains may have peaks

Yet they stare

Into clouds

Solace a vision of shrouds

On heavenly frame

 

Call my name

In whirling waters

Abyss stares

Into skies

In between a string of lies

Man-made disasters

 

I fly free

The heart in throbbing

Holds the key

To kingdoms

There are castles in the air

Between mind and flair

 

Implosion

Internal order

Aligned streams

Path of dreams

The world less than what it seems

Dissolving matter

 

Rays scatter

Remnants of the fear

Scorching suns

Raise the bar

Feet walking on liquid tar

Roads of redemption

 

Losing touch

Recollections void

Nothingness

A slow spin

Neither lose nor ever win

Souls in between worlds
