Counting stones

Down by the river

Each pebble

A symbol

Of weight that creased the footstep

When feet were nimble

 

Walking straight

Aloft the waters

Heaven’s pull

Contrasting

Gravity everlasting

Maintaining balance

 

Water flows

Endless free motion

No cushion

Commotion

A state of being alive

In expectation

We bear ills

Of every nation

Our hearts fenced

Our minds tight

Shutters barely let in light

Shadows our pittance

 

There are trees

That grow in the air

When I look

They are there

My mind their only manure

The sky’s tears their food

 

The world twirls

Dark merry-go-round

Yet I dream

Yes I dream

Images that join stream

Down by the river

Lonely times

Gathering instants

Cast battles

Shades of scars

Revisiting lost ventures

In twilight’s shadows

 

Cancer grows

Where the truth falters

Purity

Forsaken

Foundations of cells shaken

By the rampant lie

 

Reckoning

The past shielded fruit

Covered space

Brittle lace

Icings falling off a cake

Of mouldy sweetness

 

Bitter taste

Of stale emptiness

Unresolved

Surging bile

Opposites in mind beguile

The waning sweet smile

 

Lost a while

In the frenzied pace

Renewal

Of resolve

The tides of rebirth absolve

Every living soul

 

Scent of space

Time immemorial

Renewed grace

Paced footsteps

Walking down the hedged lane

The trees exhale scents

Like a ghost in decay

Look upon horizon see the trees that will grow

Through the empty playgrounds where the voices holler

They fabricate reason for a token to show

Cinderella makes rounds for midnights to colour

 

The king tries for treason as the daffodils slow

Fading garland surrounds the beard like a trawler

Flowers out of season smother traces of snow

Flickering net makes grounds for souls to grow taller

 

You called upon me once like a ghost in decay

The moon shone through your frame like a weeping willow

Head hung facing two suns as three to music sway

 

For beating heart to tame shoulder to cast pillow

I offered you sun’s bunce web of golden threads’ play

You resumed aging game sliced orphan and widow

Inside clouds

Upon rim of skies

The trees grow

They flow life

Within fluffy boats’ cotton

Spin of a lifetime

 

Within leaves

Clinging to the trees

Lies rustle

Talkative

Voices rumble with the change

That shakes within bark

 

Over shades

We cast light and dark

Unbridled

The heart spark

We seeded every light heart

The fruit of morrows

 

Upon ground

The apples fall stale

Like cherry

Picked random

More than crown is the kingdom

We devised in airs

 

Under breath

We talk to the mind

Voices loud

Pregnant hues

From loans we collect all dues

Time always settles

 

In Twirling

The dancers spin roots

Of new worlds

Cast in dreams

You cut we sew again seams

Repetition Time

If we’re One

They chant it

They say we are One

They clamour

Beat their chests

Take part in social unrests

Yet they eat alone

 

If we’re One

Why do lines surround

Your being

Your castles

Trees upon which leaf rustles

Asking to be heard

 

If we’re One

Why does your stack pile

While ours wanes

Tell me now

Last in first out or other

We seem another

 

If we’re One

Tell me why they growl

Taut bellies

That rumble

The beliefs within crumble

Bleak noise submerges

 

If we’re One

When you aim at me

Is it Love

That I see

At the tip of pointed gun

A toy illusion

 

If we’re One

Will your heart recall

All we were

In dreamtime

Will you rise when I will fall

Like waves within sea?

There are roads

Winding through thickets

Wild bushes

Tangled trees

The heart of where humming bees

Fierce lead to freedom

 

The bridges

In between the worlds

They shiver

Rumbling stone

On their tar I walk alone

My feet grey blue smoke

 

I hear calls

Of towering bluebells

They ring knells

Of kingdoms

Cheshire cat whose head I stroke

Purrs in mirth’s response

They abscond

The reasons excuse

Their flight dark

Bridled spark

We walk while dogs sit and bark

Random happenings

 

The chest heaves

Ounces of regret

Woven tight

Into might

Fading strength as he believes

Truth of falling leaves

 

Knitted words

Loose ends flying high

Encounter

Indentures

Between whispers and the sigh

I find your heartbeat

Bound by oath

Made in code and blood

Knights will join

Tooth and loin

Though it is the mighty Queen

Who leads King’s battle

 

Salt for Toth

Sugar for the bees

I pray strong

Though on knees

My sight restored to Unseen

A snake with rattle

 

Heart in peace

Discovering wills

I float through

Noah’s ark

It rekindles in me spark

Of destiny’s spear

 

We lead crowd

Bonded in fever

They shout loud

Voices hoarse

Blind eyes decoding the Morse

As I type haggard

 

We strip folds

From unseeing eyes

Waking up

Seeing lies

They discover land of Oz

Broken the wizard

 

The King walks

His pace a slow move

While the Queen

Unhindered

Flies high through the battle cries

Sacrifice her groove

 

Openings

Entrenched in our souls

They beckon

To the grapes

High above the wilting shapes

Of trees in the wind

 

Holocaust

Burning apple trees

Violins

Aching wood

Empty stomachs yearning food

Beating above dins

 

Dance to beat

Live die and repeat

Past blunders

Wane thunders

Warning chimes as thief plunders

Plucking from bosoms

 

Hearts turn cold

This was not the fate

We wrote once

With bright pens

The worthy cooped up in dens

Waiting for lions

 

Blue craters

They await the sane

Lost haters

Smothered dust

Dissolves into fading rust

Of forgotten steel

 

She will come

From bowels of Earth

She ignites

My hands gifts

Blue heart throbbing as she lifts

My frame into skies

 

I am two

Between me and you

I hover

Within Grace

She turns towards me her face

Sunken eyes teardrops

Rasping breath

I barely control

Life inches

Away slow

As I gift its every glow

Consumption my deed

 

Waiting death

She pays never heed

To self-pity

Her mouth grim

Her face marble as eyes swim

Serendipity

 

We once could

Be token of hope

Building light

Heart of might

I stumble more than I cope

With weight of wording

 

Literal

Prose and poetry

Woven bright

Through the night

The wand of age old wisdom

Words raising kingdom

 

Emerging

Two towers creep slow

From sands’ depths

Into skies

They bring truth where there were lies

End blood spent in waste

 

Burning trees

Within my bosom

Speak of fires

And wasteland

Oxygen for volcanoes

Disrupt blood and air

 

He whispers

Of breath that will cease

His hand soft

His cheek gaunt

His very touch daily taunt

As leaves shrivel brown

Whispers of life in fading

Airborne breath of leaves

 

Scattering sunrise

Hushed moments of late dewdrops

Wrestling with bubbles

Parched earth cracked a smile

Its hollow insides swept dry

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
