Magical Misplacement

Hidden in the splendour of a deft touch
The handling of magic, a source of delight
An evocation of a memory that forgot to exist
And a reminder of the danger
Of the arcane arts.

Mongrel Vision

Let them come!
We will then see
What we will see.

Divine Recital

His success
Ensured they would recite
Their own message.

Pond Communication

plop!
Rippling out
Into the hearts of men.

A Place for Everybody

The cross he bore
Was of his own making
Helped into place
By those who forgot theirs.

The Burden

This is the burden,
To let them go so that they
May come back.

The Secret Code of the Divine Writ

…

The Golden Hush

Silence is golden
And honest smiles move
But who has the heart
To hear what is not being said?

Ashes to Ashes

Hidden in the wasteland
I lay in wait for the holy land
Only to discover the dirt
Beneath my very feet.

Flight to Oblivion

Are you aware of the depths from which you soar
And of the wings which you shed to stay here?
Yours is the flight of the dodo
Who forgot the infinity of his wingspan
And perished in open flight.

Jesters in the Court of Gladness

It began with patience
And courage paraded it amongst the stars
Yet the night began to fall
As the laughter of the divine humour
Was slowly forgotten.

Cellular Payment

The will to power,
A bonus in the ascendancy,
Is confused for a weekly wage.

Monkey Grip

A fertile field if I ever saw one
Yet one tilled by monkeys
With hands stuck in a jar.

Kingdom Come

Sacrifice came of its own accord
An arrival heralding a king’s ransom
This is the payment of the jester
Who left behind his monarch
As the kingdom shrank
From eternal majesty.

Target Practice

Watch the freedom fighters
As they blast their way
Back into hell.

In Custody

Man took his chance
And turned his escape
Into another cell.

Human Knowledge

I cried for my ancestors
And the mistakes they made
But who will cry for me?

Limited Destiny

I saw patterns emerge
Taking flight into forever
Only to falter
When the skies darkened.

Alligator Vision

Reptilian core
From when we ruled
The earth.

Signed, Sealed…

What can be learned
Until the deed is done?
But who is going to do
Such a deed?
