#poetry #poetrycommunity #Air

Air
Invisible, brushes past,
like winter soup thick and warm,
rich in nitrogen and vast.
Spreading around our blue globe,
magnificent fluid robe,
now it wears dirt thin, worn out.
We stand in the street and shout
We are here, we are the swarm!

*Digital Life
Look at lives of people unknown
stretched without end across our screens
each one in their own way alone,
but each with the same goals and dreams.
They flow free down life’s golden streams
entering this forbidden zone
don’t surrender to the machines
it’s time to put away your phone

#poetry #poetrycommunity #Ghost

Ghost
On those cold moonless nights,
a time of day I dread,
in the cold pale street lights,
from my safe warm bed.
Lost spirits of the dead,
I dream they’re walking free,
nay, maybe stalking me.

Ecstasy
Precious golden ball that I hold
at the end of my finger tips,
my body, around it I fold,
as she takes it, my heart beat skips.
Our fleeting bodies, each eclipse,
then we sing as one together,
perfect harmonies, forever.

Fell Run
Run up, up again
through foul wind that cuts,
knives through my jerkin.
Long cold fingers stroke
down my back, provoke
a deep, deep shiver,
sweat runs a river,
do I have the guts?

Global Heat
Summer sun sets light to forest,
and chases human wildlife again.
This bizarre season’s now warmest,
raw nature claims back it’s terrain.
All that remains is foul black stain
of consumed precious possessions.
Confirms global warming campaign,
hear now pathetic obsessions.
Inpatient, we await the next
massive volcanic eruption,
on our wonderful planet, vexed,
resolved to end this corruption.
It’s time to take stand against these
deniers of reality.
Reduce by several degrees,
to protect our locality.

*Living the Past
I’ve lived my life in reverse,
slowly learning history,
then myself deeply immerse,
in every small lived moment.
Not knowing just how potent,
travelling back for ages,
through these many turned pages,
unraveling mystery.

Mission
In the morning still,
buried on this hill,

menace more than thrill,
mission to fulfil,
flying bullets shrill.
Just be killed or kill,

Menin
Numbers uncounted, missing,
names chiselled on endless wall.
Unconditional giving
never denied that first call.
We know by heart all of their
horrific, tragic stories.
Give up now but a small prayer,
for many selfless glories.
Hardship, stray bullet and mud,
modern bustle of people.
Grateful for sacrificed blood
to stop advancing evil.
Comforted by noise of youth,
will gladden souls with their truth.

Passing Grief
This weight we carry of people we’ve lost,
they tell, it eases with passing of years
and how we need to pay a heavy cost,
by not holding back our precious warm tears.
Walk by this river with absent shadow,
a lonely tear on a bright summer’s day.
Now our glad heart rests upon their pillow,
there is nothing further we need to say.

Spending time in your company,

pick you up when you’re down and blue,
your presence make me feel so bold.

#Poetry #PoetryCommunity #WildFlowers

Wild Flowers
Now too much, these summer weeds, four foot tall,
fall rudely across our narrowing track,
catch naked ankles, under warm feet sprawl.
Loll about, season’s duty done, then fade
from flower to seed pod through leaf and blade,
keenly stripped of their earthly energy.
Leaves fewer places for the hungry bee,
we wait far off spring when they’ll all be back.

Run Away
Life messed with my head,

‘Littluns’ Villanelle
We were only young
when the plane crashed.
What were they doing?
We’re alone among,
we were unabashed.
We were only young.
Always pursuing,
somebody’s head smashed.
What were they doing?
We had played, had sung,
in the sea we splashed.
We were only young.
Trouble was brewing,
signal fire flashed.
What were they doing?
To parents we clung,
civility trashed.
We were only young,

Tech Savvy
Technology is like a foul bastard,
lulls to a false sense of security
just when you think that you have it mastered
’user friendly’ falls to obscurity.
Tutorials search shows older versions,
communicate with ignorant chat bots.
It all adds to our daily burdens,
while perpetrators float around on yachts.
They demand upgrade to monthly payments,
give access to useless accessories.
Latest upgrade adds to our miseries
the whole world is full of dodgy agents.

Time Warp
A time hole drifts past,

long afternoon’s last,

now closely it nears,

Unknown Future
Nature’s wonder before us,
ignorant of coming spring,
all the birds join in chorus,
flit joyful on fragile wing.
Flowers bloom, perfect glory,
they know not their future,
can’t plot an untold story,
nothing can life’s strength deter.
Only man knows his fine path,
can judge his fatal impact,
hidden in intricate math,
denies, refuses to act.

The Great War came and slowly went,
leaving bodies of men piled high.

of mothers who wept a hundred years.

Thick forest fills my senses,
completely absorbs my soul,
cleanses all my pretences,

and for a moment freeing,
my mind from troubles before,

War Zone
History steeped countryside
abounds with salient points,
cairns, bleaks stones mark lives denied,
talk to us with distant voice.
Inbuilt loyal duty, brought
men who fought for King, Country,
through these long days darkly fraught,
liberated, to be free.
These feats of hidden glory,
each hour’s deadly decision.
This small page of our story
on which it’s clearly written.

Sacred Place
A clearing by calm water, where ancestors
worshipped pagan gods, erected wooden cross.
Many people will come to where faith centres,
hear His words, that let all our fears and doubts quash.
Build up a stone cross chiselled with images,
wooden shelter construct, as those halls of old,
people stay near for support, become villages.
Stone, Rome blessed altar makes, a “scola” we’re told.
Now built in stone with stolen Roman arches,
this church’s root lost in faded history.
Lost traces of the monk’s steps, now mystery,
endure eternally these small churches.

#Poetry #PoetryCommunity #Regret

Regret
In life, we are often times mistaken,
makes room for foul drink in our empty soul.
Winter nights have now my love forsaken,
no amount of warm spice wine can console.
Alcohol carves in the clay of my heart,
some words I should have long ago spoken.
Now foolish sentiment my loves impart,
too late, now there remains but a token.
I despair in forever tomorrows.
Alone I wait for some ungainly end,
while drowning daily my ugly sorrows,
surrounded by people, but not one friend.
Take away this life of little outcome
and give my small space to someone less dumb.

Poetry
Fleeting, like the small mint from the green tin,
a poem catches our moist receptors,
sharp and precise, we feel it on our skin.
We care not for the views of our mentors

life is much too short, discard that you dislike.

Poetic Pish
I don’t like how famous poetry’s locked away,
it broods, hid, guarded by estates and publishers,
while poets struggle to put their work on display.
As if readers were some kind of well read sinners,
seeking free words and phrases, unable to pay,
like wild dogs, tempted with morsels then turned away.
We need so much more of this free literature,
each crisp page boldly leads us to fresh new pasture.

Infected with souls from my past
I scribble seeping infection.
Hopes for a great future won’t last,
explain in this mucus collection.
My paper absorbs verbal puss,
black ink spreads its foul contagion,
tells of a world of putrid fuss,
of rancid festering evasion.

clean my paper of this germ’s sighs,
and wash down my virus filled pen,
that we might live clean healthy lives.

Our Prayer
Earth’s built a thick scum,
there’s no empathy,
such people are dumb,
can’t just be happy.
We take daily bread,
so liberate us.
They trespass our head,
march to their drum’s fuss.
Can we rid our world
of their pestilence?
Of these men absurd
we must surely cleanse.
After all these years
temperature builds,
just before it burns
we run to the hills.
We should cast them out,
not stand their deceit,
foul schemes never doubt,
don’t accept defeat.

Mother
Through years of her youth
she loved all of him,
gave into his truth
almost on a whim.
It was all because
mother did object,
all through their egos
as if she’d joined a sect.
When he asked too much
she would acquiesce,
her kids she would clutch
in times of distress.
Time came, kicked him out,
raised those kids alone.
Nobody could doubt,
she had now grown.
This wild man she chose,
that mother did reject,
she hates him, it shows,
as mother did expect.

Cold approach of winter makes us afraid,
Christmas brings snow, mulled wine and larger girth,

upbeat funeral casts our loved ones to earth,

Fear our plight for this world

Growing Game
Through many people’s lives I’ve drifted,
this life has been gratefully gifted.
At ten I had boundless energy,
which is now, but a vague memory.
At twenty, went really exploring,
that’s the time you think you’re soaring.
twenty five became invincible,
in reality invisible.
At thirty awaiting some children,
then, I will, a Wendy house build them.
At forty looking for adventure,
time to go on a complete bender.
At fifty became industrious,
I may say, somewhat illustrious.
At sixty interesting travel,
scrapping around in foreign gravel.
Seventy I slow down a bit more,
then it’s time to count the final score.
At eighty finally filling gaps,
might even again, get out the maps.
Quietly at ninety watch TV,
of worldly chores I’m finally free.
One hundred, I’ll continue planning,
despite my hip, I still like dancing.
In years to come I’ll spend time at home,
yet I’ve still not been to visit Rome.
How will I know what my life became
or know when I’ll be removed from the game?

Forbidden Love
Brief lives in this universe fly like sparks
across this dark sky of wildly sown stars.
Given the imagined freedom of quarks,
makes them believe that it’s better, ours.
Fleet life, absent, fear of infinity,
simple flash in this celestial pan,
absent from special relativity,
will throw some hindrance to our simple plan.
Now we see unfold this whole universe,
almost delicately held together
with feelings of love and some pointless verse,
playful maybe, yet light as a feather.
Go, spread this word of love we keep hidden,
make them believe that it’s not forbidden.
