Fake

There seems to be a lot more fakery around the moment. What with fakery in the art world, i.e. the supposed Caravaggio that was recently unearthed inside someone’s attic  which to my mind, incidentally looks like a complete fake! Caravaggio would never have done the body in such a strange, contorted shape being a master of […]

There’s a say that goes: As long as someone is alive to speak your name, you never die. 

the Abundance of Emptiness

Abundance is a process of letting go; that which is empty can receive.

Moving On

kelseykinss

Your words were cold and cruel like a sharp razor blade on the thin skin of my wrist. My soul poured out with the crimson red of my blood. I tried to build up a dam to hold back the growing flood of my tears. I didn’t want to show weakness, but that’s all I felt. I couldn’t understand what it was about you that made me drop all my walls, leaving me completely vulnerable. Maybe I still hoped you would look at me the way you did when we first met or kiss me like you did when I told you I loved you. I wanted to believe you still loved me too, but when I looked in your eyes, I saw nothing. Cold, dark emptiness. In that moment I pitied you. How lonely it must be to feel nothing. I hope you find happiness again. Even if it’s…

I Love You, Really

Awake and Unafraid

You are the only thing I came into this world

entitled to

and to start with, I wasn’t sure just what

to do with you

spent one whole year working out how to get you upright

before I took

that first step.

I still fall over lots and I’m sorry for

the times I forget

to look both ways before I take

that first step into the road.

I’m sorry for the time I spilt

boiling water on your toe

for the times I made you grow

too fast, leaving ocean waves across both thighs

for the times I left you hungry

named you toad

and rode you up the path that forced you

to keep watch in the night,

dry salted desert eyes.

I’m sorry for the times I rip off the

straggly bits, try to

straighten out the tangled parts and

flatten out the bumpy parts

your landscape…

Starry starry night
Paint your palette blue and green
Look out on a summer’s day
When eyes that know the darkness in my soul…

Let It Flow

According to Mr. Flying Pig

White hot rolling hillsides
Sand billowing in a furnace
Weary and weak the traveler falls on bended knees
Take me
Take me now
I am very young
And so afraid
I don’t know how
To continue
Take me please

Then a voice from the sky did say
Let it flow
Be strong and never let go
You have the strength to carry on
And one day you will know
All there is to know

Dark horizon moonlight
Leaves blowing in the breeze
Tired and toiled the traveler lies down under a tree
Take me
Take me now
I’m no longer young
And I am tired
I know not how
To continue
Take me please

Then a voice did say from the sky
Let it flow
Be strong and never let go
Harbor the strength to carry on
And soon you will know
All there is to know

Weekly Poem #87

Callum's Vault

Sound Barrier

I think I’ve broken sound.

It’s been cut down and rewound.

Organs shatter and collide,

Drumsticks skitter, off to hide

And violins evade the violent tide.

I stamp my feet to no avail

And wrestle out a silent wail

As some cruel god ignores my hails,

Windows shatter, calm prevails.

My feet crack a hole beneath the world

And light breaks too, a brittle pearl.

Like a spotlight crushing a pretty girl

It falls victim to this numbing whirl

And come apart, disconnects, unfurls.

Now I fear there’s nothing left,

I’ve beaten all of it to death.

Such a heinous and unruly theft

To leave thought so far bereft.

There’s nothing now to comprehend,

No longing love remains to mend

We can only bask in this dull end.

I didn’t mean to break what’s real

But I can’t help just how I feel.
