		<description><![CDATA[	Skyward,
mouthing Swinetown wind -
raking moon above grey veins,
rattling battle pennant bones
above a once proud clan.
Like airborne spires -
these aspirations
held aloft but not
in vain,
like spines of hope
knowing that they can.
This glowing beast
it will tell, it will show.
Display the mysteries
all should know.
Brothers and sisters!
Imagine a luminous horse
tethered high above the land
I call on you,
support this
plan.

		<description><![CDATA[	Apparently
you instinctively know
the right decision
ten minutes before
you actually make it.
What you were doing
ten minutes ago,
what was on your mind -
all becomes inevitable
like a twisting leaf
waiting to land.
You were
wondering weren&#8217;t you
and now,
you read poetry.
The answer,
is still
no.

scattering kernels upon dark floors
raising arms like fronds in breeze
calling troops of last frost seeds
rising now above their needs
they wondered -
had they sinned before?
shattered deeds perhaps, and maybe less
but maybe more than click of knees
cornered bent for scattered creed
locked and chasing seasons tease

looking for redemption and a heart shaped pill

faces
in a tear
raggededy
rough
as they are
the racing car
lamps of your eyes
tracing, scratching lines
towards the inward
imaginings of selfish &#8216;I&#8217;
whirling in surprise
chasing those that hide
already cold as shudders
break, like new waves in ice
across the movers and the lies
doggedly tough
as they are
like trapped sky cries
wrapped in furrows and twine
there, sighting cloudline
blistered gaze
falling now
with bow and rise
she&#8217;s a strange insect

		<description><![CDATA[	Have you seen
the proof displaced
lost belief just wandering
streets, touched past touching
quantums, atoms, molecules
streams as we are lead
in vapours wake
he goes
singing; grapevine broke my heart
let this troubleman be calm
no god, no good nor bad - just him
in mild european air
Real Magic is given to so few
watch closely and know
divine souls find their divinity
in everyone.

and not the song
I am the voice
now listen on
I&#8217;m the choice
and not the wrong
don&#8217;t linger
like a tantrum son
I&#8217;m the voice
and not the song
I call you all
with mantra gong
I&#8217;m the wind

no crown of singers
ambling gone
I&#8217;m the voice
and not the song
and now rejoice
I have this voice
and I am
strong.

to the funeral trees
and they looked dead like me
naked in this winter breeze
I turned
to the funeral trees
and they seemed black to see
wretched lost and born of thieves
I walked
to touch the funeral trees
and they stood firm in sombre creed
with sacred bond to spite the freeze
I fell
to lie among the funeral trees

		<description><![CDATA[	This white flame burns
all bad things,
turns mourning into dust
moves morning into dusk
lingers long like lovers
after lust.
Between head and heart
ancient in my breast
there is a fire -
white glow burning
sending powder-ash
sad things tinder-piled
bad things turning
cinder riled.
White flame burns
and everything must go
even things I am scared to know
even thoughts I dare not show -
now I&#8217;ll raise a weary [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	And down came rusty stars
raising arms for all to shine
and low we dressed our frownfolk scars
chasing psalms and twisting twine (again)
with dreams but not quite ours
we carry ladders into night
pine the scent of cosmic wine
and then, we smoothly rise
like ancient sparks
like hilltop fire
and now, like cinder&#8217;s climb
inclined from pine to sky
we fly above
this awkward,
paradigm.

needs a shed
takes the clutter
from his head
lays it down
on musty beds
tight against the edge
stained but only
partial red
a man
needs a shed
it takes away
his heart of lead
a place to dwell until
the world is pure
and nearly
bled
with creosote
and sodden pine
with scattered pins
on earthy weathered twine
all  friends  within
a secret place
to mine the mind

		<description><![CDATA[	It&#8217;s blank
this space
we occupy
scratching the void
we stare
in articling watch
we see
cold folding air
we share
time spilled sun
we thank grace
more than that
we are here
and we are there
and we fail
and we can feel
we almost care
this is blankness
after oneness
after selflessness
after all.

on a train and
fate is faster than I
sleek and slipstream sharp
like an arrow, twisting
through all I know now
inevitable, like a silk flag
stretched and tacked
my talisman, now my target
sewn with silver pins
worn to show a difference
torn now by indifference
raised up for my deliverance.
And I am on a train,
again.

he ruled my teenage years
and how I craved the highways
rolled out like three-week teletype
stretched to bedroom youth.
	Next to Vonnegut he strode
offering a neckerchief
wailing on with Shearing
pulsing like a bright one
in Jazz firmament.
	One minute I was a boy
then I learned of men
exploding like spiders
across stars.

and I  rode the motorway
in comfort got there quick
driven not by me
You shook the ashes
and I switched on the T.V
feet up late night squinter
sofa fugged and beat
You looked the way I did
and I looked back
creak neck creased
money almost spent
threadbare slack and given in
I once mistook you  - I&#8217;m sorry.

		<description><![CDATA[	No-one knew what was
beneath the sediment
bubbling something
like old grief under skin
Moonraker&#8217;s booty perhaps
or rusting truths
now wrestling with reeds
like matadors in mud
like foot trodden fate
like drakes and strutting loons
all telling secrets too.
They fished and fiddle-shook
slid on pondweed toes and turned -
lost waterboatmen,
now scuttling home.

on green blanket down
hear young men tell tales

we&#8217;re resting on heels

with spin in our reels.
	Skip past bullrush and sway
when hillwind comes
alive we will plough
the fields with combs.
	Now stare at the edges in clay
and know there are stones
now pausing on land
only ancients

somewhere lies repentance
the ant thought -

chewing over things
crooked English teeth
tease chipped-tip flesh
I can&#8217;t resist
I bite the mouth

It comforts me -
peeling tender skin,
the kind within, beneath.
There is no rush
so I must desist
to bite this mouth
that feeds.

just like you said
watched every twitch
every gesture
every shake
and yes - I could see -
see what you were thinking,
wanting, expecting
you were dipping your smile
down and to the left again
your singing mouth
briefly stilling;
a nod, a tilt,
a subtle slant
and I thought I knew.
O.K - I&#8217;ll admit
I looked away -
lost my track
but only then
I felt.
You,
watching
me.

here they come
working thru midnite again

all alleycat wails
with the sense of shadows
beckoning  lotharios
with purple moan
of mannish boys.
Oh hear them call
publicans of England!
Hear now these
Hammermen;

you are nudging me,
pushing subtly
on a hotpan pepper
not quite cooked
and always,
I am terracotta red
swirling into
white.
It feels like,
you are touching me,
cells whirling -
twisting vapors again
like old-hooked pike
and always,
I am led
though kissing nil
but night.
It feels like,
you are tempting me,
feintly waiting
like un-lined paper
parchment smooth
but always,
I am ink and splatter
squirming into
spite.

in night I wait for you,
long before the tugging slay
of slate-smudged days.
Are you real or just a dream?
Oh Gelderland,
lying down with evening&#8217;s hearth
watching flame and twisting sprites,
hearing coals cracked wide
against my spite.
Tell me again
the things I wish I knew -
before my open eyes forget,
before my loping heart regrets
Oh Gelderland.
Let old winds blow,
like soul of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	I killed Santa
and then I broke
your heart.
I couldn&#8217;t lie.
I thought you knew.
This was the day
he died.
I told you,
he was a dream
to gently wake  -
I whispered this
was part
of growing
up.
Yet still
the tears rolled
and you sobbed
and you cried again,
not foolish at all -
forever like,
a child.

You mustn&#8217;t feel

This is the way -

We wondered if you&#8217;d sheltered -

And we worried and we hoped,
and we tried not to wonder.
Had you ventured very far?

	Much more,
Than I.

I had a thought.
It was small
It was vulnerable
And it was very brave.
Like a tiny fish
Without a shoal
Lost and circling,
And puffing-up
Two times -
maybe four.
Couraged gainst
The sharpened teeth
By some pretence
This little fish,
This little thought
Swam on.

To try to understand
To dwell and
Know other minds.
To remember all things
No matter how small
To catch the shapes
In blurring wheels
I cannot see.
To try to be
Wise,
Is want to be -
Part of else
Apart from
Me.

Have you heard?
The poet is dead.
Silenced in descent
Of crouching night.
Forgotten now
By mortal winds
And things that speak
To breathless souls
Or hearts entwined,
Out amongst
The nebulae.
But don&#8217;t be sad
For errant voice,
No longer felt
And whisper stilled.
Thoughts, are such
Temporary things.
When you hear
This poet is dead -
Carve some words,
In stone.

Blue quartz seamed,

And so behest was knock&#8217;d fate

that never blew.
Time-tumbled,
on the greystone shore,
laid down the sighing churn -
locked me in with eon&#8217;s hold
of elemental bores.
And so I yearned,
and so I yielded.
And so I found.
And then I knew.
It was always,
you.

There is no weariness now.
Suddenly I am, Superman -

Immediate,
like electricity

my restless back
and flooding in
my empty head,
my vacuum heart.
Something,
switching on
deep inside
and bewitching
with delight,
and sparks
of life -
lightening
my soul.
But not,
like raptured
passion&#8217;s flame
or glowing ember&#8217;s
warm embrace,
nor kinship
of years
or kindly smiles
from journeys
shared.
No,

It was Persistent.
It was Beautiful.

indenture you must bear.
On kind shoulders
column strong - with prideful grace
for hold of acrobats.
	Not dare we tell of minds,
in awe of patient kind
that is your way.
	Forgetting belligerence,
regretting not the binds -
you guardian sleep the world,
raising sun and moon as we desire,
tucking in the day.

Oh I have drunk enough,
and swallowed, and gulped
then spat through grins.
And I have splashed my eyes
shook humbling sodden cloth,
felt shivers start within.
And I have dived to swim,
against the current&#8217;s sway
with limbs that struggle on
but know not what they see -
this most divine commodity,
this precious thing
that links our souls.
And I shall waste
no more.

Like calm weirpool&#8217;s rest

You have entered me
and I have entered you
and we are one -
beneath the wind,
beneath the river kiss,
beneath even clefted earth.
And still we ask.

Don&#8217;t miss the twinkling shards,
The spin against the water&#8217;s cloak -
No number counts these thoughts you think.
Catch now their roaring chains of light
Afore the smudden dull of winter night
Before the afterwards of summertide
Such ancient thrills that now evoke,
Must fade like silvered ink -
Return these borrowed hours
Masking season&#8217;s interlink.

the washing-up and

The harshest words
for smallest ills -
like huff and puff

The words not spoke,
the things undone
from plans not won,
and songs unsung.
The wasted time
like chastened sand
that falls on hands,
or clutched sunshine,
and two-few smiles
not feared of miles.
And all of the above,
is not enough.

Running to her head -

Or was this last resort?
Either way,

Watch ripples

See the flowerings

Meditate on how
Summer&#8217;s changed
The evening show
And even birdsong
Before season&#8217;s reel
And greying days
We all will know
Farewell now
To kind and warm
Before the storm
Before the spike
Of needle wind
And open souls
transformed.

Where souls run to rivered night
Feel winds that rest and contemplate
Then breathe what we all know.

She couldn&#8217;t hide her happiness

It was all magnified and close -
spotlight precise in focus;
Sometimes, when we look for joy
we need help to see
more clearly.

that doesn&#8217;t care.
	Rattling me.
Knocking bones.
Cooling heart
like ice sirens
smiling before
the freeze.
	Am I so empty?
So&#8230; spacious inside,
Why let these fronds
of discontent
take fingerhold
within?
	Such spiteful things
thrive in unbound air,
and clutch and ride
on doubts we leave
behind.
	Was it you
that started this?
	Was it you that passed
through me?

		<description><![CDATA[	Stop rooting around
and gazing at the finery.
Stop staring at the bottom
of the bin they&#8217;ve put you in.
You&#8217;re worth so much more
than those wailing sighs,
and blodshot nights,
that bruise your heart
in awkward fight.
Don&#8217;t you understand?
There is noble majesty
in the darkest maggot bowl -
burning bright and lighting
rusted scrape and tin,
and meaning so much more
than other unkind souls
will ever [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	I saw them.
Kissing in the whispered breeze,
Like tandem bulrush reeds knocked
And fervent in lover&#8217;s wind.
The careful stoop of him meeting rise
And hope of her, leaning, bowing, bending -
Brushstroking the air in abandoned pose.
In tender togetherness they moved
Like star-twinned vapour trails,
The ones that fade through necklaced night
Before ascent of heated azure days.
So strange, I thought to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	Can you run faster than the truth?
Can you catch it in your hands,
And throw it back to us?
Strike the bullseye!
Split the apple!
Storm the ramparts!
We all have targets
in our hearts.

		<description><![CDATA[	Does a flame know when it burns?
Or of its brethren&#8217;s fellow toil?
All burn bright because they must
And all of this is down to trust.
Is this faith, or faith in destiny?
No call to idols and unproved deities,
Who comprehend these things that vex
Apart from Artist&#8217;s charcoal scratch.

Let us be caressed
like refreshed lovers,
underneath fingertip rain.
Let us lie below the sky
and feel the wake up calls,
falling like soft arrows -
into valleys of tired skin.
Let us smile amid the downpour.
Let us swim in rivers formed.
It is Summer and now
we should welcome rain.

Azure.
Only morning brings them to me
Glinting like iced stones in the half light
Tangle-tongued and smiling - I cannot describe
These subtle beacons, like backward glow-worm tails
Like blue stained chorused chimes that resonate
The very core and into me - searchlight mined
And such mornings bring them to me
The only time I ever really see
Your nearly azure
eyes.

There&#8217;s more here
than you shall ever know,
and that&#8217;s the way
of things.
	Here,
we are all but only here
in this strange
invented place.
	But together
we roll, as two -
like bonded wheels
over ancient tracks.
	Any more than this,
we dare not dream -
but that&#8217;s O.K.
by me.

		<description><![CDATA[	
Obvious really&#8230;
	I
like,
punctuation.
It really helps -
to frame the words.
Like breaths and sighs,
and pauses - reigning track of thought.
But then, sometimes, it&#8217;s frustrating;
stutter and muddle - jolt and bolt.
Things come out &#8230;. fractured
and staid. But then again -
I&#8217;m getting there.
Wherever,
that,
is.

Hunched
and squinting,
at the screen.
I lean toward
your soul within.
Bunched
and hinting,
what it means.
Slim rewards
are everything.

Will we pine for shinest moon
Then gone will be the argon sky
And footprints in the light.
Only when the clouds contend
Will we wrestle grey cocoon
And gaze in open barreleyes
At fortitute of atoms bright.
Only when the stars descend
Will we soar yet soul marooned
As tethered flashes leaping high
Like lost balloons in age&#8217;s flight.
Then alone, [...]]]></description>
