That Time

Draw down the night

In a room of mirrors

Paintings, furniture & lights

Let the lack of sight

Allow freedoms to wander

Free the mind to write

Of all the noises hereabout

Sounds drawn-down, quite

As if the inner world doth shout

Upright & Laid Out - Love of Cherry Red

Choice

Why then call it weakness

If it is almost universal

Where was the fork

The road it seems

Is anything but less travelled

Before the bile

Is liberated

Before sick and sour

Soliloquy's take over

Why not call it joyful

Joyful and universal

The fork of joy

Where both roads

Became well travelled

Upright & Laid Out - Love of Cherry Red

At Least A Billion... & One

Towards the sleep

Who knows of who you are sleeping

Not a peep

From those of you who love peeping

I take the giants leap

To the sleepers on the rail track

Learn to earn my keep

With the grim reaper at my back

Towards the sleep

Who knows what secrets you are keeping

Not too steep

For the first fleet-of-foot past weeping

I take the minnows creep

To the quieter, darker corner

Learn to slowly fall in deep

Become as the candlelit mourner

Upright & Laid Out - Love of Cherry Red

Northbound West Facing

Silhouettes to passers by

Skylines and shadows

& thoughts to wonder why

From the Kindle collection at Amazon 

Upright & Laid Out - Love of Cherry Red

Compartment

Grey and silver sky

Effervescent pink

Beyond the clouds

A body of people

Where one person reads

Of a body of people

Imagine; to say goodbye, in your

Mind; as if no more

Than to place leaves on a bare tree

To think again, dwell on those two

In conversation; almost our friends

The ones we never really knew
