As my light becomes dark

I intertwine my words and vision into woven light

Reflections

His unwashed hair
Clutch to the pages
My blindness
Sees his scarred vision
He is no longer alone
I lock into his falling look
Desiring his selfish blue eyes
I don’t know who I would be
Without knowing him
Favouritism now exists
And he is my exception
The sideways glance
And the silence in between
Feeling like a shadow
Or something lost
He slowly fades
He is my reflection






play me

you smash my heart 
       with a steel hammer
and all that remains is an olive green cloth

fallen world

Over crowded
Crowd over

She looks down
Moving
                         Like shoes hung                   
From an overhead wire
                 Doing pirouettes through
         The clouds and distant sky

                    Shadows play tug of war
    With her silver steps
                Like a possessive wall
That’s cemented in thin air
    She floats along the path
                          Of hidden glory
                                                                                 The measurable beat
                                   Drowns the thumping heart
The step won’t change

Monday 7.11

Thunder cut through 
The silent 3.33am
Rain fell breaking the dry
Dream splits and we fall
Into the tissue papered water
Ghosts settle between us
Wearing masks
And red dresses
Wearing red lips
Men who are women
Who long to be men
No familiar faces
Except yours
Stillness between us
Courthouse champagne
And a forgetful woman
Shadows caught between us
You don’t cast darkness
But images are wept
As rain brings the dawn
And broken umbrellas
Hang in the cupboard

Workshop Me

Inspiration can come from two words, yesterday I told my housemate, Agnes, who is new to blogging to read my poems and then "workshop me", she thought she had to read a poem called this and looked everywhere to read it.  This lead to us now each writing a poem called "Workshop Me" and here is my attempt.  You can check out Agnes' version on her new blog  http://agnesdorademes.blogspot.com/


Take my mind and read its overflowing liquid
Skim through the contradictions and faults
Hear my heart speak
Touch its beating rhythm
And dance with my movements
My weakness pulsates through my veins
Feel the sound with your hands
That fall over me like the floating
Blossom caught in spring’s breath
My flesh crinkled like used tissue paper
Craving to be wrapped around your music
My shadows hang in the dark corners of my lung
Draped in the beautiful scandal of your spoken word
My scent full of the madness in my being
As my conversation stains the air between us
Work with me
Caress my tenderness
Forgive me
Capture my reflection
Love me

How should a human being lead his life? Aristotle


How should a human being lead his life? Aristotle


and by playing with the words in that quote I formed the below


Should a human being 
Lead his life?
                           
                           Being.

A human life
Lead by a human being
                           
                           Being. 

How should a human lead a being?
His life
A human life
                           Being.


His life should lead
How should being lead be a life?
                           
                           Being.

Be a life
And being lead 
Being human
                           
                           Being.
