DADDIO

Hey, dear daddio

Dear friend, dear soul,

dear person untold.

….dear daddio!

There’s the look not known

There’s the seed unsown

There’s the fire

There’s the spirit

…… there’s the let be it!

The strength and the guts

And the no buts

There’s the calm

And the psalm

and the sense of disarm.

There’s you

Here’s us

There’s everlasting  love.

The Sunflowers

The smile of a thousand sunflowers

Touches the cheek

Like the sweet stroke of the sun.

Warm and tender in their caress

They nurture and feed wilted spirits.

 

As stars that light the sky,

They ripple with a sense of fun and wonder.

A sparkle to the eyes;

Beauty and energy to tiredness.

‘Lift up’, they say

And let your spirit soar between the clouds of yesterday.

Only then will you move

Through today and tomorrow.

 

Feel the air around the surface of your body

Then let this body go.

Become the air and dissipate within

The extraordinary realms of the universe.

Fly and feel and find

The peacefulness of true nature and true being….

 

The sense of floating

In a calm pool of love,

An iridescent, non-flickering constant…

…peace, brightfully pervading….

‘We are the sunflowers’

Lattice-laden Labyrinth

Spread-eagled through the realms

Of a book

That takes the head

To a place newly sown

One would thought not known.

 

Flitting and flickering lights

of feelings

In a land

That spiders like

Gossamer glowing intricacies

Of their delicacies.

Lattice-laden labyrinths

of a haven?

Two turns to take

To the simple lands

Of Neverlands, we know.

 

 

 

 

Does’t Thy See Him?

Does’t thy see him?

There, by the chair..

A deep figure, in long dark cloak

Aware; eyes wide with …

.. Is that fear I see

in the pools of water before me?

Now hunched

Not here at all really

A figure between the two worlds

Flickering like candlelight!

That’s You

One single entity of life

One single spirit of time

That’s you.

Never knowing where you are

Never allowed to go so far

That’s you.

 

You will wake with the grass around you

You will smell the sound of laughter

That’s you.

 

One sense of heat and doubt

One voice that will shout

That’s you.

 

You will take the direction and change it

That’s you.

 

One feeling, one soul, one who will never be known

That’s you.

Faraway

Oh but to slumber one’s way

Through the faraway lands of the mind.

Oh but to slither and simmer

The beast be thy hand.

What path before is the reflection

of one’s day.

T’is music to thy ears

The rhythmic beat of one’s heart

And sweet nectar

Of warmth and calm.

She

She stands before me

An image of sound

Lost in the depths of souls

She screams and shouts

To silent ears

That have no idea of loss

Spirit shining above those

As deathly as it seems

That walks

And feels and needs the most

Takes long for those to believe.

The start …

The tender touch of Love

 

Filter through these wires of barb

and rest thy calm

upon this cesspit of despair.

 

Allow your silken caress to

ripple through this mudfest.

Silver strands of stardust

to dissipate the marram that binds the darkness.

 

Air the drudgery and solemness

of deep still waters

upon which rancid foam collects.

 

Be a counter to the cold uncirculating

blackness of the night

And light a torch

to burn away the sadness at your sight

 

Let this warmth

permeate with vigour and life

to crack the pavements of solidity

the dullness of sobriety

the emptiness

of a hope that is not there.
