Flow
In each moment is beginning and continuing
And in those moments we will be always inseparable

Pluvial
It matters little if I thirst for you
You offer only what leaks and
Does not dry in the sand that
Follows you to places
I am uninvited
It matters little if I thirst for you
I can quench my own need
With the flavours of other men
Unafraid to catch me as
I fly over the rim
It matters little if I thirst for you
You only see your reflection
And think it speaks ill of you
And bail away as if mad
I catch the puddles
It matters little if I thirst for you
I forever swim deep in your truth
And paddle in the shallows
Of he who is not you
I thirst for the rain… Read More Pluvial
A Wishing
The Way Tectonic
The way the past lies
Is caulked seams ribboning
To dress those dreams and
Connect them as if they are
Still tangible
While the edges of the way
Now unfurl with
An unknown ink marking
Destinations not yet
Thought of and perhaps
Not wanted
The usual compass no
Longer a dial worth reading
The terrain has altered
Your hands are strangers to
The way it feels… Read More The Way Tectonic
Fish Coat
In the clouds
A long way yet
From landing
Out over the ocean
I long to don a
Straight jacket
Wearing fish scales
And plunge
Without protest
Slippery and sharp
Giving up
Groundlessness
Free falling
To the crack of
Parting water
Deep diving
Into the weight
Of my own
Faith… Read More Fish Coat
The Edge of Home
House on the edge
Remoteness
Or rather
Closeness
On the cliff
Might be
Deliverance
Not obscurity
At tipping point
Kept close to
Scream
Aliveness
Not sitting
By death
Flown
To sink
It doesn’t
Lure me
At all
Home
When you’re
Searching
Is either
A beacon
Or an edge… Read More The Edge of Home
Allegory for Atlantis
Allegory for Atlantis (Trish Jean) The gentle shaking Floats me away Into a deeper diving An ire of syncopation This boat crosses Your heart Skips upon ripples Of its beat Into which Nets are cast to Find the old songs In the hope they Can show how to Have the experiences That took you Away… Read More Allegory for Atlantis
Lay
Lay
Your head on
My arm
Your back
Lengthened against
My chest and belly
Your feet
Pushing to sit
Upon mine
Lay
Where you can
Catch my breathing
You can touch
My heartbeat
You can feel
I am
Etched
All over you… Read More Lay
Again
A dreaming moment
Recurs with a gasp
Matching the
Feeling that comes on
Its coat tail
Whipping in to
Consciousness then
Exploding with its own
mean joyousness
I had not know
The void of the bereft
Felt not like a void at all
But instead a giant
Universe that by its
Nature claims
All your star wishes
And misplaces your feet
It’s the journey
It’s also the risk
That you will yank back
Curtains to find
Emptiness
Sometimes it’s hard
To know what
To do with the epiphany… Read More Again
Cricket Lullabies
I came out into the
Smoke infested skies
That mar the Autumn
And lend a dullness to
Cricket lullabies
And haze the
Heart for this place
With its seeds of
Newness that
Temper the long
Journey lived
Over and over in
A squall that
Batters the consciousness.
I reach for
That newness
Claiming it as
A harbinger on
The map of hope
Breaching the weather
Man made
Mad made
Can now float and fade
The turmoil exchanged
For a new belonging
Uttered into
The clarity where
Your breath meets mine.… Read More Cricket Lullabies
