[hometext] => Written one night when my thoughts were full of nothing and my mind buzzed.
[bodytext] => The frost encapsulates the night Is that you? Cos Ive been searching for so long For someone true I am at a loss Is that really my name in the snow? Fonts run dry The world smells of rotted truth. Is that your face reflected in the gutter? As the temple stumbles down to earth. What can I do When time freezes your mind? This is the penalty On your knees, quiet and shy. Who is this? In the night? Remember who you are. Take a leaf from this crook Dispel the fears that collapse upon you. And when the night has fragmented Up you jump, and take the time. And explode upon the day You take the veil but leave the face. Jump through the hoops You light-covered soul And do the tricks they crave Someone will understand. Knfe is in, leave us alone. And take the risk that summons fear Like an effigy of terror Long for a way past this frenzy of a river. Time of another age Borrowed, not forgotten. Leave me be in this stumbling temple Uncollabsible-the life you left behind. Lips read the next reason see me jump your tricks Like parlour games in the dark. Stalemates comprise the better part. And like an ego of proportion It will see only what it needs. Leave me time alone Go annoy another, lesser. Who was it? Who said? You spoke in a sleep And I heard your muttering Like a dead priest. Leave me be in this swamp of thoughts Who brought me here? Like a great sickened edge of guilt Revolution just for fun. Are you ticking off the nights? Please, let sleep be. He has had enough trouble already. What of this time of envy? Past, present and future tense, Like a missed light in a fragment Of glass, reflected, not forgotten. Time seize me, Im lost. How was I to know? Hate and the fuel of kindness Levitate my soul into the twilight See the moon as it would wish. (Lost control) Lay and try the tea Half-mast commute through this biblical cast Take my mess and leave a note Youll see me again this day. Am I not afraid of the back of the queue? Leave this poor deluded monkey to rot. Cos sometimes things are better left undone. Amongst the leftovers of life.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
