Remembrance
13 February 2020
Remember
The slates wiped away
Room empty
No issue
Just water for some tissues
Spread out on my frock
I crane neck
Following through the insight
Dreary eyes
Unseen wounds
Figures with their knots set loose
Exchanging content
Play no more
Said voice in bosom
Remembrance
Reckoning
All will collect in dismay
The moments of loss
Reading of the poem:
Meu Fado – Mariza
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
Follow flight of birds
4 March 2016
Mother wakes
Shaking off the crusts
From past wounds
Stretching taut
We receive havoc we brought
With our tiny hands
Tall splendour
She unfolds her gait
Ninth wonder
Defines her
Moving through Eleventh gate
Lava and thunder
Molten breath
She trembles and heaves
With the tides
As she rides
Brings upon us Mercy’s death
Split faith her stallion
The blind screech
They cling to tatters
Dying leech
Mind flatters
While the seeing heart scatters
The law of Talion
The children
Survivors of wreck
They sail lone
No captain
Only ghosts upon the deck
As they whimper lost
We reborn
From scattered blue coil
Remember
Past glory
Huddled in ship hear story
Of ancestors’ toil
Now rejoice
I will remind you
How we fled
Tomorrow
Leaving behind us sorrow
Shedding it like leaves
Nasal voice
Through Time’s loudspeaker
Calls for me
Warning shrill
It transforms to wing my gill
Splitting the ethers
Hurry child
Follow flight of birds
They head South
Where waters
Split through the red desert storms
Basking in two suns
Reading of the poem:
Terra Firma – Delerium
Myth – Delerium
Just a Dream – Delerium
Wisdom – Delerium
Lamentation – Delerium
Aria – Delerium
Angelicus / Epiphany – Delerium
The Sky – Delerium feat. Kristy Thirsk
Till the End of Time – Delerium
Beyond Connection
2 September 2015
I constructed you
You then deconstructed me
Laughed, hid the pieces
The key to the mind
Lies within thoughts’ meanders
Keys to heart flicker
Captured and released
Unwilling pact of freedom
Misplaced denied bonds
My hands lay helpless
Numbness then blood flowing back
Tingling sensations
Phantom cords cut all
Wounds that had crusted over
Where salt cauterised
Seeking the prison
Of mind that had most mattered
Cotton for the soul
Beguiled mind relived
A lifetime of servitude
To masters that fleeced
A shiver calling
To birth of a new era
Where slaves buy life back
A penny for Love
No quarters given today
Dime dozen’s fickle
Your form bathed in light
Cast against my darkness spelt
Chance of renewal
The candle’s flame lisped
Slithering towards my heart
Whispering new tongue
Every language ours
My thoughts trail off into yours
Beyond Connection
Ears pick up no sound
Artful measures a hiss feigned
Lungs filled in silence
Can Earthly love heal?
7 August 2015
Path to down under
Heaving with the keen longing
Of forgotten Grace
Listless I walk sole
Survivor of gushing wounds
That severed my soul
Walking in my trail
Your eyes follow my blithe frame
In dreams we unite
While I catch your gaze
Stillness turns turbulent flood
Lucid reverie
The warmth of your breath
Rekindles love’s memories
That stood still in time
The heat of your smile
Pierces through the icicles
That clung to my lids
The fire in your heart
Setting ablaze liquid soul
That dissolved in love
My fingers lay slight
Asking of the edge of you
Can Earthly love heal?
