'tis the night before Full Moon

Late winter, the night before Full Moon, it’s 2.41am,

the sky’s as brightly lit as by the sun, at noon, mid-Summer,

only the brightest of bright stars grace this time with the moon

and when the wind doesn’t rattle the leaves in the trees

carrying with it the salty air from the ocean,

the waves reach for me, crash through me,

before the night drifts back into silence

and fluffy white clouds drift across a cold, lonely sky

to the clicking, it’s the rain song, of those tiny little frogs…

find your fire

……the smouldering fire sparks alive,

lazy licks along smoking logs,

reaching, testing, claiming, the flames leap

higher and higher in joyful jubilation;

as should your soul as it shifts through the day,

touching, tasting, lighting the way

through the darkness, find your fire.

Friday at midnight

This Friday all the 80’s rock songs were telling me how hard it is to live without you,

endless empty nights by myself, staring out the window as life passes me by……

endless are the black clouds storming over the horizon heading my way,

blazing are the bolts of lightning staring me in the eye, telling me things…

willful destruction with every dirty memory trawled from my deepest self,

death is preferable to a desolate, empty, meaningless existence without you.

How I feel is

not the answer

to the dreams I have within,

what I’m saying

is denying

what is written on my skin.

So I ask you

do you know how

I can reach this place for me,

or is all I

have before me

that what is for me to be?

I have pow’r and

passion raging

deep within my darkest soul,

can’t be held back

why repress this

it is I who’d be the fool!

Let me fly now

through the heavens

freed, unfettered, ‘s meant to be,

if you'd like to

you can come too

live a lie’s not right for me.
