The Wind of Dissent

The west wind that is blowing bringing with it deep dissent,

madness swirls like broken leaves of last year’s failed intent,

murky skies incite with guilt by claiming it’s my fault,

edginess is driving me, compels me to revolt.

Spurs me to an epic flight that’s led by instinct’s rules,

distance overrides all need, away from dying fools,

racing down deserted roads in recklessness innate,

I don’t want to live in this, if this’s to be my fate.

Another Night in The Shadows

How can skies turn to black in an instant,

turn truths into lies, hope into disbelief,

faith into fallacy and trust into guile,

how can it wipe away every vestige of possibility,

sever the throat of joy so brutally

you can’t even look into the eyes of love of an innocent,

how can one go from caring so very much

to feeling nothing, nothing, nothing at all,

thrown into the meaningless pit of existence,

unreasonable, irrational, wildly sweeping, self-destructive,

where words of encouragement strangle me,

kindness suffocates me,

a touch would surely shatter my soul,

and I scream in the darkness a scream,

even the gatekeepers of my private hell

feel a weariness creeping through their bones.

It was one of those days...

It was one of those days, melting imperceptibly into night, a transition in tune with the music drifting in the breeze, to the sounds of shifting time from you disconnected, and greeting the rising scent of nightfall, the steadily climbing heat proportionate to the cooling ocean mist brushing their skin alive with enticing images, vivid in mind and soul…

The Awakening

There is light in this world,

you will feel it if you sought

for the answers to the questions,

burning through dark nights regression

believing every fear,

building walls to hide your tears.

Yet there’s wonder, there is magic, there is love, these are your blessings……

With awareness comes the silence

of a soul in full compliance,

as perceptions through you stride,

lifting darkness’ blood-red tide,

evolved from harsh and tort’rous nights,

you are the shadow as you are the light.

Song from the Silence

What will it take to remove you from my mind,

take it all away, these memories I find,

drifting through the sunshine and through the darkness too,

you keep coming back to me, there’s nothing I can do,

but love you, love you every day,

love you all the time, love you every way,

take me, take me where you can,

take me to the edge, take me, you’re my man.

Let me be the one...

Let me be your friend

Let me be the one close to you

Let me soothe your brow when dusk settles on a hot summers day

Let me whisper words and tales to enlighten and entertain you

Let me share your dreams with equal pleasure they provide you

Let me be the one you reach out to in time of need and bliss

Let me be the one to whom goodbye does not apply

That what you dream, imagine, build in your mind,

the visions alive with colour, smell, the ocean’s mist,

in sunshine, under storm clouds, in the dripping rain,

in the silver moonlight illuminating your skin in the clearing of the forest,

with nectar sliding down your throat in exquisite sweetness

and satisfaction, feeding your soul with love,

dreams of an intensity tangible by the goosebumps on your skin,

the glances from those touched by the energy you emit,

those are the images of your freedom, your light,

these are the words from your spirit, your guide,

allow yourself to be led……

The Promise

To the storm clouds rolling in,

to the thunder trembling through her,

to the threatening strike

and the wind tearing at her clothes

she said: “I’ve been expecting you,

even hunted for you, leaving a trail

of my scent for you to find,

seeking your closeness, your knowledge,

I will devour every exposed and hidden part of you,

my soul clamouring to receive what you are,

what you’re offering, I will take, I will take you, I want your all.”

The Forest

My heart longs for the silence

of the woods moist with the mist of tears,

dripping softly onto moss-covered ground,

bare feet on a path intuitively chosen,

where my soul finds the stillness

imparted by nature, its breath of green

cleanses my lungs, my soul, my heart

with its birdsong, rustling leaves and butterflies.

Earthed. Grounded. Realigned.
