Greet the daysA
greet the moonB
gather the starsC
Man is not at one with himselfD
collars the infidel ways of hisE
race under pressure domes of widening silenceF
-
I scan the horizon barely cognizantG
of the metallic bits that pierceH
the night's crown noI
jewelled orb stabs this queen's spectreJ
I am running and lost ever slowI
to breech this reasoningK
-
Honeysuckle mist with armfulsH
of orange lilies with scent strongerJ
than the carriage needed in their gatheringK
-
Place the constellations upon their headsH
the colour so transcendsH
And then there are the bludgeonedL
stars fallen into the eyes ofM
my farmhouse sceneN
The sphinx moth that darns the nightO
with her acrobatics escapes the wreathP
of troubled moon that places aboutQ
her proboscised headR
Let her stone the night in peaceH
feel palpitations on her ocean breastS
-
The darting of stone cracks in fissuresH
along the causeway to the stonehouseH
is certain and sureT
A definite mood projectsH
the starling tunnelsH
forlorn now with limpid darknessH
crushed lavender from the pewsH
of thoughtful nightO
-
There are armfuls of crushed batsH
in the passageway to my heartU
each reeking with squealsH
to alarm the most frightened princessH
Only one has stained the pass keyV
and I must find herJ
-
A toad abides the thoughtful recessH
broken under the wallW
He is a good toad and mournsH
the night creaking from the river bedR
A monster dragon to the insectsH
making a living near the lightO
a source of amused contempt to lepidoptristsH
squeezing the eye's circleX
pressing her to release her giddy charmsH
-
At morning skeletal remainsH
shall stain the blighted chain mood collector toad mothY
but for now only the night buzzes with alarmZ
cracking her secrets with each tiny monsterJ
hurled at light's intrusion into darkA2
-
Perchance I shall narrowI
down the divide position alarmsH
remind myself I am inured to theB2
mood scent that mans this cosmic bandwagonC2
I hold up flowers to remind meV
light escapes through jellyV
and that rare LUMINESCENCE exists onlyV
in lost bat chambersH
buried deep near the recessesH
of the snakeD2
-
The cry of havocE2
all those armfuls of collapsed liliesH
breaking under the toil of enforced handshakesH
leaves me like a broken lampF2
I have no more shades to patchG2
the plinths or barricade my heartU
I have left my love on bended kneeV
in a land I choose to forgetH2
