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
Blood pearls drip
30 July 2016
Polluted
Minds reek of the fear
Hearts stay clear
On the fence
Truth is the line of defense
Against night crawlers
The faith wanes
When the stones shatter
Window panes
My remains
Pick up the pieces of me
Oceanic grave
Lines tighten
The net scourging sea
Blood pearls drip
Against skin
Swallow the hurt now within
Red ink diluted
Reading of the poem:
The Rainbow – Thomas Feiner
Lest you live as I would die
12 March 2016
Hold the door
Its old hinges creak
Of lost time
They dare speak
Of slow walks in the moonlight
Of hope cloaked in sight
Hold the door
It tries to snap shut
Locking hurt
Deep within
Crushing rose petals that bloom
When sunlight drizzles
Hold the door
It closes in tight
Reducing
Space of love
The chest caves in under might
Pressure of sorrow
Hold the door
It cuts through answers
To Questions
Lost inking
Connection’s tendrils sinking
Communication
Hold the door
It would allow us
To glimpse light
Sea beyond
The nature of you and me
Sketched in wilderness
Hold the door
It is like coffin
Embalming
Pervading
Lest you live as I would die
Motionless, empty

Morrows in the Sun
2 February 2016
You cast stones
Forgetting ripples
Your mind hard
Tired bones
Every hurt that you discard
Builds a waning castle
You can live
You can also die
In between
Nothingness
Even in shadows of Spain
Stories will be told
All we see
Dreamtime’s harmony
Oft disturbed
By dark thoughts
Night mares mere taunts in flashes
Of hooves beating sand
We will reign
The scars of the past
Into love
Forgiveness
She is deep like the marshes
Bordering mind’s land
We hold high
The hopes of our hearts
Yet we flaunt
Shields of tin
We forego the love for taunt
Smarting soul within
Crushed dreams
Give but few breadcrumbs
Trails gone cold
Eaten hearts
Oh the wincing how it smarts
When the heart grows old
I restore
The blackbird with blue
Fingers locked
Brush ablaze
Breathing out a love so true
Your face in a haze
All the lies
Now they’re washed away
Naked stand
With your love
Your blue heart battlefields’ death
Yet the surging bliss
Do you feel
The morrows have come
Creeping slow
Yellow glow
Collecting wild daffodils
Resonating thrills
You sink deep
Feathered rainbows splash
Across you
Coloured hue
Your body an artist’s dream
The gleam of moonbeam
They come fast
The morrows that last
You’re sinking
Heart blinking
Red SOS love’s inking
Splattered in your mind
Remember
Morrows in the Sun
When dark calls
And love weeps
Between our bodies it seeps
Glory to be whole
Reading of the poem:
Inside her – Evi Vine
Second skins peel into day
14 January 2016
Look at me
I reflect your face
Shining bright
Sketched in me
Your inks an invitation
To discover nights
See me through
Light’s mysteries flee
From my touch
Lurching sparks
I reach within owls’ feathers
Gathering fate’s quills
Whiff my scent
Pick up on the shards
Embalming
Preserving
Remnants of sunshine and ache
As I exhale dark
Smell me dry
Of memories might
Conserving
Observing
The scent of despair and hope
Heady wanderings
Voice me soft
I fall like caress
From your lips
To my wait
Where two and two make more else
A fusion of sorts
Scream my name
In tattoos that writhe
Through my scars
Like dewdrops
On your hair and shoulders’ curve
The moon will glisten
Listen now
I speak of Beauty
Love your heart
Bless your soul
There are landscapes in my mind
Where we fly like birds
Hear me out
I will convince you
Of lovers
Who wander
In desert plains bringing rain
Like the rolling moss
Sense me bare
With lust and toil’s care
Light me spleen
Luster sheen
A repetition of thoughts
Litany’s prayers
Sixth me flare
Where shadows lead way
Light dies thin
Hurt follows
Second skins peel into day
Bright with future’s rub

In your tall build revel again complete
30 October 2015
I will the trees to gather leaves silent
For woodcutter could hear their rustling chimes
Yet trees bellow with chattering strident
I almost see within bed-ridden rhymes
Often I yearn to join the birds, migrant
Yet trees though noisy choose, I love these thymes
From all those flavours this pine tree vibrant
Of shadowed mushroom faces’ glory mimes
From yonder grounds tall ones preserve their bark
Low high, grey green, choose one in harmony
A will to hurt your glow for none compete
Look down below the winding lanes for mark
Blue red King’s colours splashed hegemony
In your tall build revel again complete
Rhapsody of Souls
13 October 2015
. .
All is spent wisely
That is channelled through the Love
Time and Energy
.
Choice is in Colour
Of Light and Dark none better
All is in circles
.
Today’s sight to eyes
Time’s backward integration
In fusion Union
.
Monsters of Metal
Flip a two-sided birthright
In one anointed
.
See the soul’s dismays
Split sensations will divide
The more from the core
.
.
Balance, weightless stone
To carry or to sink with
The seen unknown Hurt
.
Shades of grey will spill
From confusion of the souls
When mind sinks the Heart
.
Bring my world music
From corridors of a world
Engraved in the Love
.
Hum the melodies
Come my Love let’s sing the tune
Rhapsody of Souls
.
Nine the lives now spent
Ten the renewal of Time
We live Enchanted
.
I choose to colour my Heart
14 September 2015
Life, sum of paces
Strides within shadows’ echoes
Upon fears rebuilt
The good and the bad
Sum into a single breath
I softly release
Tireless the rants
We could voice against life’s pains
That soul would abhor
Mind knows though stillness
Through written word exudes hurt
Cleansing appeases
Delving into fray
Wolves will devour me never
Your light I will heed
Swim into my shores
Plunge from my hills forever
Your love in me seed
When darkness befalls
Chilling all hearts with fear’s pangs
We remain Love’s creed
Every waking hour
I choose to colour my Heart
Emblems of your needs
Will you miss me when I’m gone ?
25 August 2015
Shades of us shone bright
Articulate dark on lights
Playing with eyesight
Century split half
Moving toward our shadow
A bright future lit
What happened behind?
Hindsight now failed me always
As did memories
Arms spread out seeking
I had searched for you all days
A lifetime thus spent
Seeing you never
Though my being you pervade
Etched in all my thoughts
Sun-kissed paths we trod
Walking towards each other
Blindfolded and mute
No touch did we need
Imprints in our very soul
Spoke more than could flesh
You gazed upon me
Seeing me best with mind’s eye
As I perceived you
Abandoned to you
My soul kept for your soul watch
You knew as did I
Time would take its toll
On our hearts that beat tireless
As tunes in ears rang
The World disappeared
No loss would I ever fear
Our Love infused all
Words locked in embrace
A blessed recognition
We held on steadfast
Time flew relentless
Stars opposed but move on
Bow to depths we hold
Careening through Time
Like dances of Golden Age
That all hurt soothes
This body fails me
Though soul keeps it standing still
To hope’s tunes we seek
Your voice now alit
With energy makes me whole
Restoring body
With renewed respite
Will you still reach me in time?
If only I knew
Grim is the reaper
In darkness still he awaits
As days slide silent
Grief to hope skips slim
Boldest instinct: survival
An uneven chance
Mind soared to morrow
Will you miss me when I’m gone?
I will forever
Hurt
2 July 2015
The knife that cuts through
Pieces of me that scatter
With no thought in mind
