Splinters of the Heart
7 December 2016
We gather
Sceneries in woods
Of the mind
That remind
Of days gone by walking through
The thick and the thin
Like gardens
Hanging on the edge
Of a cliff
Amidst riff
Panoramic views submerge
Growing of the urge
Oblivion
An eight letter word
Becomes herd
That refrain
From the expression of pain
Their bodies corpses
The dark crawl
Dead embers ashes
Light flashes
Not within
Their lack of feelings akin
To breath of undead
Sorrowed lead
Plastered smiles in white
The empaths
Faith in light
Keeping Hope through Times that smite
Words that decompose
Recompose
Splinters of the Heart
There are ways
Etched in Soul
Knowledge of how you are whole
Beyond the fences
Reading of the poem:
Just for You – Giovanni Marradi
Overcoming thoughts of You
20 November 2016
The days fading fast
Into oblivion of nights
Detonation blast
The mind’s explosion
Into realms of darkness creep
Whispers of autumn
Widowed eyelids weep
Parting of the eyebrows raised
Holding soft the gaze
Remnants of spring’s path
Sun kissed blossoms now fading
The weeds invading
Gardens in simmers
Under a sun that glimmers
Dying rays wet kiss
Water down the hills
Dark tides flowing into sands
Ice into Islands
Ebb and flow pursue
Within the changing seasons
Shades of my mind’s blue
Hope of morrows faint
Reflux a lesson of tides
Tireless happenings
Rearranging stills
Breathing through invented gills
Dead canvas to paint
The brush strokes in clues
Overcoming thoughts of You
Bold red and blue hues
Reading of the poem:
Soldier of Love – Sade
King of Sorrow – Sade
By Your Side – Sade
Throw me words
16 November 2016
Fallen down
On concrete flooring
Reaching lows
Loosing flows
This blood cascading river
Cutting deep slowly
Breathe in me
Sounds of your return
The days cry
As I yearn
For your name to be printed
Across soul wilted
Sorrow’s clown
Pantomimes a thought
In my mind
Windmills grind
Sands grains that come loose sinking
Hopes of lost laughter
Morrows flee
Your shadow hovers
Moon covers
Pale lovers
Their sight building up in I
Living on a lie
Frozen crown
Plays with fire’s lace
In disgrace
Throw me words
Flocking sheep to their shepherds
Once upon a rhyme
Give up glee
Nothing left to see
Buy me time
Features grime
Mask the curse you gifted me
Break this death’s saunter
Reading of the poem:
So Close – Olafur Arnalds feat. Arnor Dan
The colour of the night – Lauren Christy
It’s not goodbye – Laura Pausini
Feed me the Music
8 October 2016
Blood awash
From age of deceit
Travel clothes
Pleated neat
I walk naked in parlours
That the Truth harbours
End of lies
Raven to me flies
Beak tender
Wings of old
They shelter me from the cold
Of ice of despair
See my brow
No longer hangs now
Infinite
Waves of hope
Surging through the upward slope
Bubbling into moon
Crescents swoon
Overwhelming surge
Gnawing urge
Daylight purge
Silver and gold they emerge
Betrothed in the skies
Now we feast
All eyes on the East
Bread in yeast
Hides the Beast
Bring me the rings of knighthood
Three bowls made of wood
Calm hunger
Feed me the Music
Rushing through
Veins intact
Pulsing centuries impact
Hurtling through ages
Reading of the poem:
Sins of Salome – Angels of Venice
Nothing else Matters – Angels of Venice
Queen of the Sun – Angels of Venice
The Watcher
1 October 2016
Singled out
Phrases from the book
Of shadows
Seeping through
Sand of the desert landscapes
Plaintive muted tapes
Sorrows pour
Drink of the numbness
The duress
Concentrate
Dilution mindset of Hope
Renewed way to cope
We bear hurt
Anguish a blemish
The Watcher
Dissolves slow
Restoration lifetime’s Art
Renewing the glow
Reading of the poem:
Summoning of the Muse – Dead Can Dance
Aquatic
5 September 2016
September
Month of the nine trees
Grows branches
Into skies
The Angels now hear the cries
The deafening tides
Tree trunks float
On rivers of hope
The mind copes
In sawing
The thoughts that pervade clawing
The glimmering leaves
Bark and leaf
Two to a third birth
We pluck them
From the hearth
They grow in wasteland marshes
The city harsh is
Countryside
Landscapes of the fall
Beckon slow
To soul’s call
Finest grass for the reaper
Green is the new black
Oxygen
Failing my two lungs
They gather
Communion
Of pairs they will be but one
Fate of the changeling
Uprising
In waves of morrow
Destiny
Aquatic
They move underground frantic
The stone is their tomb
Reading of the poem:
9 crimes – Damien Rice
Delicate – Damien Rice
I don’t Want to Change You – Damien Rice
Frontal collision
19 July 2016
Black widow
Mourning lost vigil
Of her death
Rancid breath
Hovering in morning chill
As Time sweeps over
Illusion
Hammering vision
Retina
Stuck in loop
Stroboscopic impression
Frontal collision
We were strands
Twirling through eras
Fear disbands
Reprimands
Scorching lips smothering fate
Melancholy’s slate
Burning pyre
My inner realms dire
Desert space
None to face
No judgement but fall from Grace
Upon green-blue fields
Stigmata
Mind’s repetition
Your kisses
Heal my wounds
That flay my every layer
Between core and skin
Hope runs thin
Time is a slayer
Partition
Melodies
A move away from fences
Disturbed defenses
Reading of the poem:
Late Goodbye – Poets of the Fall
War – Poets of the Fall
Daze – Poets of the Fall
Heal my wounds – Poets of the Fall
Dreaming wide Awake – Poets of the Fall
Rebirth – Poets of the Fall
In the name of Love
7 July 2016
Their vision scorched me
Thousand soldiers of darkness
Of untruth their flag
Is this as it is
The sum of all our hardships
Walking on the knees
I roamed the deserts
My hair running its own way
Talks of centuries
My shadows cast light
In the silence of their screams
As the widow dreams
They hardened their hearts
In the name of freedom’s rings
As their chains tightened
Martial waverings
Their walks valleys of despair
As orphans huddled
The suns in me tire
Of the cycles of tales dire
Reinventing hope
The blind men will grope
Their hands panic stricken tools
Their hearts emptiness
Power’s not prowess
Only throne of loneliness
Rotten arm in glove
When I live again
Walk with me in the valleys
In the name of Love
Reading of the poem:
Kafartu – Dhafer Youssef
Soupir Eternel – Dhafer Youssef
In the name of Love – Dhafer Youssef
Heavens’ particles
15 June 2016
Grief squashes
All semblance of hope
The mind numb
Heart broken
Happiness a lost token
Of revolving times
Stilling mind
Whirling into space
Pitch balance
Zero point
Where everything is nothing
A change of vision
Joy washes
Memory of grief
Renewed fresh
Hope seeker
The mind attempts ways meeker
Turning a new leaf
Like a tree
Casting away leaves
Growing new
Extensions
We wage ways through pretensions
Society’s weight
Inside us
Silent observer
It watches
The motion
Lost to world and emotion
It shines in sun’s dust
They cling on
Heavens’ particles
Through bodies
That relay
The birthright’s lost miracles
Unbeknownst to most
Reading of the poem:
Wings – Birdy
