Alone is not enough

White board
Wipe away
Move on
Gone

You travel
Across deep synapses
Erase
Erasure

To lose
The loss of saviour
Quarantine
Quarantine or delete

Loosen the links
Disturb the linkages
Open wounds; seal
Slowly heal

Turn to
Find a sense
Find a purpose
To be is not alone enough

Buy some time
Rebuild
Past memories
Work out the why

Lava Java

All what was once forgotten
Used for fuel, to fan the flames
Fortuitous, furniture framed
Ladles of molten metal
Burning streams of lava

All that was once forgotten
Tears apart the troubled mind
Fanciful sweet cure memories
Rose tinted bespectacled
Freckles, trapped in past remains

Eon Ion

Engaged inside empty space
Place, a face without a trace

Nearby to nothingness
Not anything, anything but nothing

Mesmerised, an unusual surmise
Surreal I realise, inside nothing

Orb, shelter from the storm, look back
Looking glass, flecks of imperfect persona

Cutting words, my best friend, descend
Extend the contradiction with diction

Cruel tongues, empty hopeless souls
Mindful to remind, of a rise before a fall

Decorous medals of honour
Upon her brazened tourniquet

Root Slip

Rootless
Reason for grounding
Faithless
Searching and sounding

Doubtless
Nothing to doubt
Careless
Her slip without

Crescent Moon

I don’t know when I lost you
When I lost myself

Beneath the full lit skies
Bathed by clear night scars

I don’t know when you lost me
When we lost ourselves




I post this for those of you still lost
for only yesterday
I appear to have found myself
