Musk

Are we just tang and sweat

That we try to conceal

It just that I wonder

If we can smell love?

Inhale it like a perfume

Because right now

I'm lying here next to you

In the dark

After we have loved

Like two demons set loose

And I love this smell

That now seeps between us 

That flows into our serenity

It is the scent of heaven

And it marks my soul in its musk

Fly

Love is blind

Love is unconditional

Love is forever

Love is fate

But love it is elusive

It only talks in whispers

And we need to listen

Or never learn to fly 

Instagram

Some stuff i put on Instagram - kinda like putting the 2 things together. Not sure they work here but...

Selfie

Time

Time

We can waste it

Or spend it

Lose it or remember tit

We can plan it

Or regret it

But we can never reclaim it

But with infinite combination

And finite elements

We can repeat it

Till we get it right

Laughter

When a truth is laughingly delivered

When we ridicule in truthful jest

Hackles rise, become temper ignited

Laugh and the world concurs, they say

I do not attest in good faith, it is so

All too soon, mirth is all but run dry

For in delivery of unwarranted humour

Silence would always be, perhaps ,best

Than a darker comedy of good intention

Vegans

And I was asleep till I awoke to ask

Let me now eat a better food

Pastries more wholesome than redemption

All the sweeter for meatless savour

Deliverance is worth having

For I was a covert monster once

Now I search through my conscience

In lost drawers of sentimentality

And they are empty of any reason

Save silver scales and charring wood

Lifeless flesh lying on charcoal tombs

Innocence and fur lost forever under stars

The aroma of my indifference clings still

But I am remade now a better human

For all the guilt and doubt is gone

And those that do not continue to sleep

In dreams of uninterested brutality

Become the blessed of the earth

No matter how late they arise to be vegan

March Views

Phantoms

When we become phantoms

Flying on wide, night skies

That are brimming with stars

Do not come then with kisses,

Or fair things of loving value

Bring your gifts now into warmth

For once sunlight is cold upon us

And our skin is turned to grey

When all our clocks have paused

And all our love is ever vanished

Then all these hopes and dreams

Will scatter into the moonlight

For my love, then it will be too late

Forgive

A mind might let go if it were weak

Release the horror contained within

But the reflection of self is unseen

Instead there is cast other faces

They float upon the glossed water

And apparate when night falls

They low and bleat in the gloom

Whispers and cool breaths beset me

Gently brush my skin like a violence

And this is no shadowy imagining?

It consumes my sorrows in the dark

Reparation for what conscience allowed

And then it is gone into the past

For the animals forgive us everything

If we have learnt to forgive ourselves
