Snowdrops wilted face
Hidden thoughts of forgiveness
Frostbite a habit

Elongated shades
Lifetimes of togetherness
corpses of morrows

Musketeers battling
My eyelids a moist valley
Future renderings

My mind sits so still
in flutter of a heartbeat
I hear thousand drums 

Lilies in the night
sixty-six and six hundred
sacrificed in flight

Bottomless terror
Roots of nothingness prevail
Heart in black to sail

Pantomimes dance wild
I harbour within me child
of golden years dreamt

I scale back horrors
Endings rewind beginnings
Magic soars within

In scent’s memory
I can smell the spring coming
oozing out of trees

Tomorrow’s leaves fly
Crunch of green lift my feet slight
Windows heed doors’ cry

Messiah Project – Error Maya Life Goes On

A heavy jute bag
lifted mountains of sorrow
etched within his ribs

Slices of lifetime
hiccupped their way through his lips
bitterness gushing

Back bent itself curved
under years of misery
it rewrote its shape

He breathed in the skies
his breath the salt of horizons
burning through his lungs

Wrinkles carved within
his face a mausoleum
written by dark fate

Al Green-How Can You Mend A Broken Heart

I slithered back home

I counted my scales
Irreducible creature
I was compounded

The dragon within
flew most immense distances
between sleep and wake

Iridescent wings,
chest multiplying colours
like serpent ablaze

A tail to tell tales
engorged with the wings’ passion
I slithered back home

Serpentine - Solace

Peasant ennobled
exalted by the honours
raised head to adorn

The stern church endowed
a bishop to coronate
head shaking off dust

The stance handed down
raised wild bodies to enthrone
forsaken the crown

Feet in the gravel
pebbles thrown in old fountains
arm to unravel

Sanction renewal
erect a hanging treetop
enable embers

Jubilatory
settle platinum attire
rekindle fire

Induct strong the grit
molten powder raises flames
hanging tree now lit

Victim of the ploy

Victim of the ploy

Change clutches my gait;
motion in my mind imparts
traces in my heart

Footstep’s movement dwells
in otherworldly places
that my stride foretells

Eye follows a mark,
hand strokes hidden stirring lights
trail of footprint’s sights

Steps taken in haste
move the music of morrows
Bittersweet their taste

A walk on rainbows;
action of colourful flames
lisping loud my names

A threefold act shifts:
of me I am the decoy,
victim of the ploy

Of innocence lost

Of innocence lost
6 January 2022

Her skin felt a burn
A thousand suns flared within
Ancient tattoos writhed

Blisters wrote on skin
a story of a lifetime
wrapped within gray folds

Darkness was conquered
The old adage came to light
New Order commenced

A flash of moonlight
Illuminated her eyes
Sun’s flames wrestled moon

Tired men kept watch
The battle was an emblem
Olden moon beat sun

Sun flickered dying
The children came to New Age
of innocence lost

The death of her dreams

The death of her dreams
3 January 2022

Windchimes blowing mud
Replica of ghostly snow
trickling music slides

A symphony arises
blended with her heart
Musical feat strays

Orchestra goes on
Sound a slave to her teardrops
a simple witches’ brew

Fusion of features
An amalgam of sounds stir
Ice around her heart

A pulp of papers
Letters from a time long gone
components of slush

Hope and fear’s union
The slight feelings compounded
the death of her dreams

Now ready to dry

Cascading thoughts fly
Riveting performances
meet my starry eye

Fireworks reveal
a universe in a sigh
that slow flows me by

A peal of laughter (Appeal)
a sacrifice to the stars
in quest of the hours (Inquest)

Urgencies dissolved
natural phenomenon
unwinding my veils

Pray reach out to me
your hands token of despair
stroking sad my hair

Observe me throughout
I am a bunch of flowers
now ready to dry

River of Blue – Diane Arkenstone

Into creation
hurtling on through the cosmos
indigo orb swirls

Sphere twirling upwards
A sapphire world speeds on
into turquoise wells

The planet moves slow
blue waters flow silently
wet eyes follow stars

Germs in each corner

New virus attacked
Roll of thunder announced it;
connected minds roared

The disease flared through
Decay spread through synapses;
infection rumbled

Head counted microbes
The future resounded through
the boom of the bugs

Germs in each corner
Spelt name of a new species
that grumbled through space
