Countless seed, forest floor lay
Few will see the light of day
Seeking the sun, drawn to its glow
While some reach for stars and truly grow
The choices are ours, whither or evolve
For there’s always a bright side when we revolve

Write poems, make money,
buy time, write novel, get rich,
retire, rest then paint.

I tried to pen a beautiful rhyme
But I cried most every time
I’ve tried to write a love song
But the notes all came out wrong
.
I tried to bake a birthday cake
All I got was a burnt mistake
I’ve tried to pick you wild flowers
Till’ the bees rained down like spring showers
.
I try to say I love you,
each and everyday
I’ll try again tomorrow,
when the pain’s gone away

A flickering lantern swings gently in my night
Upon a fell tree sat this shaky hand to write
My moon does glow, shadows to grow
Fear and inhibitions go, words will flow
~*~
‘til fiery red pupil flares, the looming eye of morning peers
Above the distant hills the dewy dawn burns
Dusty light surrounds and sounds of life return
Yet it is the dark of my night that I truly yearn

Welcome all to the Hall of Knowledge
Knowing all I don’t allege
Though what’s known within these walls
Is the knowledge all known by no-one at all
~
There are no books, tablets or scrolls
Nothings written of what’s unknown
Yet this knowledge exists, all right here
Filling the voids of this knowledge lair
~
Knowledge hidden behind these great doors
Muffling the roars of the dragons snores
To open the doors the dragons would soar
Soaring dragons seen nevermore
~
There’s also Centaurs that canter to and fro
Whilst the Mers and Unicorns laugh at their show
Some shards of light slip through the cracks
But without reflection they can’t get back
~
So this Hall of Knowledge remains ever shuttered
Ensuring that future quests remain unfettered
Now off to the slide of gloom and despair
Or steps to the heavens, way, way up there
~
As fitting an ending as ever can be
The show ends here of your fantasy
To go beyond there’s no return
Nothing to live for if nothing to yearn
~
Oh! And one last thing before you go
We can’t tell anyone of this show
We don’t want anyone else to know
Of this place we cannot go

Our love once wingless
Celestial adventure – then
Burned on re-entry

A love imagined
Afloat in infinite space
Constellation Us

Dreaming poetic
Of loving lives, words away
Imagining truth

Painting on water
Pictures in infinite shades
Then instantly fades

I dreamt I was sleeping
Or perhaps I was dead
Eyes closed, body still
Silence in my head
.
I woke to a feeling of Deja-vu
Then all’s forgotten seeing you
Our day of sunshine and frolicking bliss
The moonlight shares our hugs and kiss
.
Warm in our bed, bodies intertwined
The stars, heavens and our hearts aligned
Then darkness consumes happiness supreme
When morning interrupts my dream of a dream

Purple skies yell good night to their dozing sun.
Fire lights the shadows, the nights day’s just begun.
Shades pulled on lives within without the stars to guide.
A ball is had in the deep, dancing to rhythms of tide.
Partners forever splash to wash away the light
Din of life slowly fades to the deafening of night.
Eyes shutter, Door hinges squeak there last, and new hands draw air.
Breathing in the day’s last taste, dark of night’s only fair.
While others rest, days run on to beat the clock.
Gates alive awake the walks to open doors that need no lock.
Welcoming all workers be, busily buzzing to make life sweet.
Nights or days at Hannah Belles employ a tasty treat.
Chimes ring out in the square, alerting all to what’s behind.
Reminding all of what’s ahead and afoot and to jog the mind.
Bottomless pools dot the streets, journeys take forever.
There’s joyous voices all around and angry silence never.
Another day in Hannahville, they feed the smiles everywhere.
This factory called Hannah Belle glows without a care.
Whether color gloss or moustache size, styles change, lips stay the same.
Visitors wait in a thin line to leave robust and always glad they came.
First chapter from Hannah Belles Silence (Charlie passes the candy torch)
Coming soon to virtual bookstore near you.

I’ve swallowed every sonnet since I don’t know when.
I can’t recall a single thing that may have been forgotten.
Though when I see your passing blur each day,
I can never seem to find the words to say.
~
Your beauty is so daunting it really is unkind.
I’ll be content another day with snapshots in my mind.
A seldom glance, a memory of a time we almost had.
Then rising moon our hearts collude to dream away the bad.
~
Perhaps one day when time, words and hearts align,
Our hands will meet, our lips will touch and all will be fine.
But morning brings the darkness, open eyes reveal lies.
Though truth and lies blur in minds, a dream never dies.

There was a young crab on a beach
The tides left life out of reach
With lungs full of fear
And a head full of air
The shell had a lesson to teach

My pencil in hand – mind set free
Erasing the chains binding me
Safe in my world of poetry
A better friend there cannot be
No rhyme or reason there’s to flee
No shackles of society
No meter of conformity
No question of sincerity
No judge, jury or guilty plea
No door can stop my slender key
I’ll wander through infinity
Another side of life’s journey
Draw lines that know no boundary
Return with words for all to see
Arrange them well – create beauty
Then thank my little piece of tree
The End sck081514
