Dream Time Poetry

Sometimes there comes a day
when one thinks to turn the table
and dine on the other side
of life as it seems to be.
And then there are other days
when all of this life holds sway
and the dished up fare though grandiose
holds no appeal for the hungry.
It’s an evil plot or just love’s intent
to send the hungry behind [...]

Not yet but soon to be a prince
the one who dubbed his mother “queen”
and served her with the humbleness
of ordinary love.
It is and always has been
the core of ordinary
that begets a wave unleashed
upon the population
because one of all and everything
divides, divides, divides,
and then multiplies
to crash upon the shore
of the unaware.
But the wave no soothing murmur
to [...]

So the tree man and the witch
cuddled up in bubble wrap
safe and sound cocooned within
a world meant just for two.
Sadly so the time will come
when hands of flesh and bone
will destroy their paradise
and place them in a strange place
cold apart alone.
They will move according to
the dictates of sheer ignorance
and pretend at their contentment
from morn until [...]

Love is unable and cannot, will not,
bind man to land for eternity
but rather allows a soul to evolve
beyond the confines of human existence.
Immortality is the promise of love,
pretenders will not be granted entry,
but how do we qualify, what must we do,
to receive and enjoy such a wonderful gift?
Some have limits to how much they give,
some [...]

A sadness o’er lays the glory of days
and nights become darker than dark
in the knowing that love’s energy
remains confined and restricted
to only the perimeter
of skin, fat, muscle, bone.
It cannot creep in to the mind of men
or into the heart of women
unless its presence is made known
in the most strangest of ways.
It can’t ever be part [...]

In a moment of sheer and extraordinary bliss
I like to think the world doesn’t exist
but the world is a constant; it never is not
and bliss fades into obscurity.
Hunched and bunched like the defeated
it haunts on all fours the chambers of mind
and gains sustenance from imaginative feasts
placed on a platter of memories.
But the platter once gold [...]

Formerly and prior to
the eventful
clouds of forgetfulness
o’er laid the land.
Oh, happy, happy, happy days
when unto men and women came
nimbus, stratus, cumulus,
as rulers of our kingdom
and dictators of our truth.
But time in its own time
and in the manner of a despot
chases all the clouds away
and leaves the happy naked
and shivering.
Then suddenly from out the blue
the clarity [...]

‘tis not a spider web but the weave of one bemused
that twists and turns, overlaps, and tucks the corners in
to ensure a neat conformity and unruffled approach
to the nudge and prod of love
that demands acknowledgement.
No wind or rain dislodges same or hail dent the façade
for the weave of mind by one bemused
too solid and compacted
to [...]

Not a sunset but a fire
with the devil’s eyes
searing through the landscape
of inherent nature
and the turn from this to that
a complete and utter disregard
for the beautiful.
And we were beautiful
before the heat of fear
and before the breathing in
of smoke ridden atmospheres
but now to ash the glorious
and once glamorous.
And ash unharnessed moves unbound
in the wind of circumstance
like [...]

I had a vision one moment in time
and then for more moments forgot that time
but time circles round and I’m back again
in the vision I had that one moment in time.
But that vision now in this moment of time
a fraudulent means of enlivening mind
and is but a rock on the path of belief
that crashes to [...]
