Tales of Reconciliation

When the moodybirds alight in the silence of the night;
When all is within reason shadow calling unknown mysteries 
hidden by the turning of the seasons.

Within that spectrum shines the light of the sparks, 
tightly wrapped within, smoldering converse remarks, 
engagements of woeful tales...

Oh, yes, Darling! Please meet me up the street, in fifteen minutes, right past the old tan house with that porch, bamboo.
We need to talk about things, you and me, without your mean relatives, and that includes your cousin Ted Stew.
I’d gladly trade this car...

What is this “me within me”?
Mute masquerade?
Immortality of a self,
A puff of worthless air,
Or  feelings so pure?
Can I bear wings
And an angelic creature be
To soar away
Into the screaming wind
Where no one can find me?
Shall I in my ignorance
Play lip service to gods unknown?
A fancy-dress...

Sometimes fundamentalist Christians
Give the expression “to be saved”
All you need to do is “repent”
Meaning to give up your sinful ways

This sentence from the Gospel of St. Mark
May seem to support this perspective
Trouble is
It all depends on what you mean by “repentance”
“Sin”

Some Catholics seem to limit...

When the war of worlds' was done
And the Colonists owned the sun,
The old miner from Sirius One
Gleaned the galaxy for his son.

He sought the brave boy he knew
He'd disowned in four thousand & two.
Though the surviving rebels were few,
he had word of his boy's crew.

Hurrying...

Your failure, thought by your ear
Words of another, your dread spread
My shoulder, never not yours
Reconciliation; your voice heard. 
A misery, my own doing
My recoil, accepting the proximity
Sorrow, the feeling behind my joy
The pain untold, but written in silence. 
As your tears I feared; your side...

There in the shambles beneath my feet
All broken the laws that sanctified me ...
There in the shadows of slinking defeat
My soul cast down and racked in misery

But lo' for the throne of mercy's memory
A man did leave the comfort zone of peace
To come to the...

Your touch today felt safe for the first time
In what seemed to be a lifetime of numb refusal
Conscious forgiveness
Liberation from bitterness
Encapsulates and shelves the pain
Enabling intimacy 
No longer naive but adapted...

Your perfume lingers in the car.
The radio remembers our favorite song.
Young lovers stroll by, hand in hand.
Those hungered sighs of passion stir again.

An Earth bound Rat searching for his Monkey Cat
lost in a dream.... worlds apart. 
The cause of which has made us blind. 
The...

The reason we must find ourselves
Is because somewhere along the way it was lost
Misplaced on childhood’s dusty shelves
Heedlessly forgotten, carelessly tossed

Countless discarded costumes and masks
Obscure our mind’s authentic hemisphere
Trying on different people is such a task
Never fitting, incessantly sheer

Soon we realize we never changed, we...

Lost, yet driven
the plot just thickened
takes a wrong turn
yet still I learn
to fight to live
another day
words can't do 
justice to misery

Lost, now stolen
my heart grows cold and
I know your pain, 
it seems too much to take
sometimes, just try to go on
until running takes to hiding
suddenly...

Variety is the spice of life 
At least that's what they say..
We celebrate different colours 
Yet the world still chooses grey

There's room for different flavours
Whether green leaf, pulse or grain
Banana loaf or carrot cake?
Nutrition stays the same

The truth it seems is constant
With the source identified;
Humans...

I know that
I broke your heart
You felt a useless
Women in the earth
Because I was careless

I know that you
Loved me unselfishly
I proudly owned you,
Your feeling selfishly

But there was no point
To block my phone number
Your heart from the craving desire
That your memory will freshly remember 

There was...

you drew me back
childhood friends
then teenage lovers


inseparable
holding hands
delicate verse
public embraces everywhere

you as parchment
I as pen

it was different then

I don’t know when
but we grew up
grew apart
forgot to care


I wanted a bigger life


years went by
I moved far away
but I never forgot


there were

other lovers

some provided money

some possessed fame

some...
