Spring Rambling.

My last post, some while back now, was the highest viewed since November 2017......must have been the suggestive trees......!

  


Anyway, another month has gone by, so here's another tranche of my old stuff, sorry, there are a few bits and pieces in the works, but seeing as how random my head & life seem to be these days, I can only ask you to bear with me, oh, and share, if you can....especially in writing groups and stuff. You never know, when my Mojo does fully return, and I get chance to concentrate on more contemporary pieces....well, nothing, but one lives in hope...



 
Look.

I try to tell you, want to tell you,
Don't need to use spoken words,
Sometimes a look is enough.



(Canon 760D with an ancient 2nd hand 80mm lens, with an extension tube....frustrating experience, but worth it to see the pollen captured falling from the lily.....)


Love Canal.


My rusted, dented, bented, bi-cycle,
Awkward in my clammy grip,
Has some kind of silly relevance,
As it rests against my hip.

Standing here on the old brick bridge,
I feel let down by my bike,
I turn and look back at Love Canal,
Where we both did what we like.

Looking back at old bedsteads,
Old frames, trolleys and the lovers' walk,
Brings no insight to the female mind,
Nor to the double-dutch they talk.

I'd throw this push bike off this sad bridge,
If I thought it'd do any good,
But instead I walk it home,
And think of you in mud.

Looking back at Love Canal from home,
Is an exercise for a virgin's mind,
So, instead I let my thoughts wander,
You'd be surprised at what they find.

Love Poem.

Love is a hunter
Hungry and fierce

Hidden behind loaded words

Vain speeches
And eyes, in darkness
Blinded

Love is a terrible rage
A blight, and a drug
An awkward moment to adjust
To be leaned on, and to lean

Hunger for the hunted
The vibrant colour of life

The moments uncounted
Between touch and the glance
Glancing blow to the head
And heart

The race, the chase
The eyes, the face
The body that fits

The silent madness and peril
Temptor and fallen

Love is the hunter
And the prey.



 
Lovespeke Crazy One.

If safety is what you chase, my girl,
You've come to the wrong place,
Oyster, with a strange black pearl,
In a rough edged ruby case.

Sit you down, and stay awhile,
If you came to seek me out,
Chanting, in a foreign style,
Look at me, in doubt.

My sanctuary, you think you understand,
But watch the serpent's eyes,
If you falter, she may strike your hand,
Ah, you're hypnotised.

Now listen carefully to these words,
They'll come back to you in time,
"Beware of a talking bird."
"Stranger, in a love crime."





Venture.


A simple step, so carefully took,
With all the potential of any old chaos,
The theory being that knowledge, a little
And no venture leads no where.


Four steps ahead in the old White Hart,
With specific references too unkind,

Memories of tea, and twenty years,
And sandals, not Hunters, beards,

No wings, no map, no dream,
No fossils in this river bed,
Simply flowing towards untold potential,
And calmly diverting to dam.



Don't shoot straight into the sun dudes, like ever.....

Yeah right. x


Black & yellow twat.



Unpredictable little girl...........



 
Turn Again


The dawning of the frostiest morning
in hell
Will auger the eager survey
Of your immaculate frame
With the instrument of my
Naked eyes.


Hastily sipping at the daylight stream
Throwing dust slides through the air
Golden bedroom penetration
Sopping up the disappointed
Feelings conjured, bare,
By summery air.

Becomes a daily habit,
To taste at the outside hell,
Before regretting more
red-headed
Might-have-been moments,
With my patrons pathos & fear, we need no more names
Or sex
Or words
Or bodies.

Riding this chariot, headlong,
Through all self-worth.


That'll do for now, I'm afraid.

I'm afraid, of all sorts of things, like the mad dreams, like people believing in me, when I struggle, like those who don't when I'm doing ok.

Like the future, and the way we're going with tech and all that.

Cameras on every other lamp-post..... us, giving all our data to the wide world to use, for whatever purposes they might dream up.....

Monitoring, counting, evaluating, calculating, checking, taxing, controlling......as we walk into their world so bloody willingly.

I want to write nice positive stuff, but the environment is compromised when every bit of external world contact is negative.

But, it's Spring, and the sun still shines, and people remember how to smile, while we can.

All those little bits of nonsense are coming to a head, best to go off-grid, really, I wish I knew how.
