Behind every wall, they’re your children’s eyes. Behind every wall, persecution lies.

“Over-controlled and out of control”. You were so right.

I will shut you up. I will crush your voice. I am the spirit of this world and your children are mine.

Unstoppable course, and irresistable force. Spinning and turning and driving and hurting. Caress and cajole. Kiss and control.

Who loves you more?? Who hates you more?

It’s coming to your doorstep…”We’re already here!!”

We are the avid fans of rot.

——————————————————————-

I’m placing my bets on my failings and I’m sure that you know how I feel. Our faith in ourselves is derailing and the pretence has started to peel.

CAN’T YOU? OR WON’T YOU??

try.

Ever expanding ripples

Circling a thought

Round and round

Closing it in 

Cyclical phases

Circular phrases 

Clean streaks across the sky

Clearing the mind

Driving into a band of rain

Emerging the other side again 

Cyclical phases

Circular phrases 

Leaves are gone

(Except those that will not die

Nor will they die)

They live on 

Cyclical phases

Circular phrases 

Planets revolving around the sun

Sun revolving around the Earth

Are we even moving?

Or have we come full circle?

Ever expanding ripples

Circling a thought

Round and round

Closing it in

It’s opening now. Flowering out.

 

Makes it nervous. Makes it sick. But when you’ve got no choice? Nevermind.

Commit to paper. Commit to failure. Always the worst? For sure.

But not this time.

It’s opening now. Flowering out.

The moon’s obscured

 An electronic voice

Echoes in my head

 Flying through the air

 I’m soothed again

 My thoughts

 Ebb and flow

 Distractions

Flower and w i t h e r

 Leaving me

 Lonely and comforted

 At the same time

 The music descends

 My soul follows

 So much

 Seen and heard

 My brain clamours

 What has been lost?

And what has been gained?
