Someone Other’s Book

To those words on visibility

Might I add my own thoughts

On the invisible

And the indivisibility

We were rampant

As ants on the ramparts

We were frantic

As the early St Francis

Later we became

Poetic in our justification

I go there

Words alone can take me

Excited by my own words

With journeys

Through

My own imaginations

We are apart

Parted bodies

Distant flesh

Untethered and fantastic

Fey

He rose easily out of the executive saloon

A picture of elegance, the finest deportment

He walked with presence across the gravel courtyard

In his Bugatti, wool and mohair overcoat

All of this was way beyond his means, yet

None of that affected his personal satisfaction

For this lunchtime, as on many other lunchtimes

He would deceive himself, & those who looked on

Admiring his upright and self important stature

She Wrote A Poem

Late of sulphurous dust

Ache to see her yawning

In her state the wait is on

She hears the borealis fawning

It’s light, it’s dark

It’s light again

It’s skies with silver linings

She wears phosphorescent finings

Late of cumulus musk

Faked to catch her calling

In her freight the date is on

She sees the courtiers a strolling

It’s time, it’s place

It’s time again

Its flights with hidden findings

Her sights light on viva volcanic bindings

Truths

If you read

Enough love poetry

You will become a love poet

If you take your time

With truth and beauty

You will become beautifully true

If you make a point of seeing

The sunlight rise through the mist

The suns light will shine upon you

If you take your time with time

Then time will open her tome of time

To be there and waiting for you

Narrowed

In the scenes of all the stories that I told you

A little of me, a little of you, a little of life

Margins of the hopes

That I hold onto, thanks to you

Within the dreams, the ways and means

The schizoid schemes that I sold to you

A shade of me, a shade of you, a shade of life

Sunlight on the slopes

Where I hope still to be for you
