Behind Closed DoorsWe live - Individually, Behind closed doors; Empty, enclosed spaces, Four Blank Walls.Behind Closed Doors
I, who called these things my own, Now know it belongs to another Distant figure - Same name, same face. Dead shadow of a memory, Who speaks from my voice box - Or what used to be mine.
Listen; do the walls not speak? Dead speeches, evaporated Laughter? Smiles of a sarcophagus, Chased, replaced By an enshrouding darkness A reminder of broken glass and irrelevant unhappiness; So I Close My Door. &
My HeartDrapes over a dusty, beating heart - For warmth or disguise? Sleeping beauty, or Death's new mistress? What surgery has mended tired wounds, That surpass time's healing strength?My Heart
Has the rose red faded yellow, for blood That ran through me like a wild horse Bled through scars that bleed afresh? Does my heart, so heavy with sin So hot with passion (unrequited) Yearn to be free of its rusty chains?
What soft, living muscle - Now, Hardened into emotionless steel? That cracks and sighs under the weight Of memories, of emotional baggage. Careles
Candlelight ConfessionsViscous tears dance down thy wick’s spine Ye spirit – iridescent – in the loner’s night Kiss thy lady’s shadow, bask her in warmth In the darkness bestow her sightCandlelight Confessions
So she sits, in the glory of a mistress Writing away the newborn morning Her hope the stubbornness of a flame and Half of her exposed beauty, endearing
Doth warm glow an aged familiar -
This gibbous sun likened to her lover’s graze Rise & set, above clouds and sea - With hypnotic warmth for twilight’s daze
By ye candle, she waits by dripping hour; O
The Fleet and the fleetingThe sea's copying the sunset, As mirages sail within the depths Who's waving to the missing fleets, Gone past a quarter of my century?The Fleet and the fleeting
So you wait in your frantic & frenzy For their coffins to wash upshore Is your hope a man's last chance? Or a mere fleeting wonder
So here's to the Fleets & the fleeting, Cheers to the dead and the living For those gone are never truly forgotten If someone remembered they were gone.
Calm before the Calmest.
