Little wisdoms take you nearer

- ‘They don’t have to listen to hear’

Stopped me screeching

“Listen to me”

“Listen to me”

And added promise

To the hope of relationships

 

Few

As such wisdoms might be

 

We can see the ‘me’

Our full discovery

Will not be

By looking out

Of you’re boney dome skull

With eyes

Or – Realised

Within

But by being

In another place

Looking back at actual

Serenely visual

This mystic temple

Where your everbodies speak

 

Know each

They teach

You how to be - Me

And if you ever make it

Into even understanding

Who you are

Reach

You just maybe

Could go far

This is the first part of a, not all that helpful, series.

(A lot) More to follow.

Don’t delve into the creative well

Some of us were always meant to

Tripping round about the edge

Slowly, luxuriantly, stepping forward

Bathed in exploration of within

Finding pools are subterranean

Shouting discoveries through canyons

Echoes reach the light of day

Chilling listeners to gather

For occasional returning

Crushing, eager for some wisdom

Laughing, worshipping the diver

Seeking ways to live and move

Journeying involves return

As ancient waters, timeless, spill

Emptying lungs, and heart, and bile

Spewing dark, rich words is easy now

Somehow envying those who didn’t listen

Dancing in the meadows – laughing

“I can’t reach back to you!”

This fish is gutted, splitted, splayed

The facets now exposed

Will never go away

This caver envies you – your simple sanity

“Help me! – Help me!”

”As I seek help for you”

 

Crippled Preachers

 

Driven to poetry, inadequate, insecure victims. Strive towards the day of, “I am a poet” Esoteric. Yes. And outward of society they rave. Long and hard they press upon your tolerance. Months of anguish cover well worn paths, for what? Little harvest, most despised by picking author. One grain. One grain germinates and demonstrates. The moribund and mundane, secretary servile. Rise upon a line and this time, this time only. Appreciates quite fleetingly, the age of hewing. Not enough. The so called poet carries angst. Remorse and avid inner urging beyond madness. Never knowing. The world is better for you. Being here. Transient. Crippled in-turned bastard that you are.

To Seek

 

Urg! Been busy digging  

Deep for gemstones  

Got some good finds but

An Ammonite's an Ammonite

Even huge ones

Need something bright

To see (And show)

It’s dark down here

And every now

When chipping stones

Ancient amphibians

Slide lizardy

Then leap

When not just shattered

Bit. The light reflects

Cheap crystal finds

Then all my mines

Deep dark emotions

Rumble forth

As in a flicker

Shadow show

This wicker digger

Displays – Displays

Every flaw

And fashioned flow

Is spilled
