I am a still-life

Lights waltz with ripples,
On the surface of the glass.
The ghosts ascend,
Stretching thin fingers,
To an empty grasp.
Five lights ahead,
Illuminate the boatman.
His lantern embers burn bright,
In the dim light.
Hi crook falls,
Burning to the floor.
The water,
Now unmoving,
Hides my body.
I am a still-life,
Frozen and immortal in a hot bath.
Violins screech in the distance.
As music plays on,
It builds with dramatic cry.
I hear the music,
I slow down.
And I melt into a void,
Within myself.

my eyes.

I think my eyes might fall out their sockets,
They are the leaves on a dying tree,
They are the gateways to my soul,
But, they no longer see.
They are limp and lifeless,
They are the willows branch,
My eyes are tired and restless,
They are in a trance.

Sweep me off my feet

Sweep me off my feet,
What a gentle wind.
You play in my hair,
And rouge my cheeks.
I float and drop,
To my surprise I don’t land,
Swept off my feet,
I don’t understand.
Caught in a twirl,
A spiralling mess.
I might sit and lay,
But I do not rest.
Sweep me of my feet.

peace

Silence,
Peace,
Come to me,
Please.
Over the coming days,
Walk by my side.
At night time,
Lay your kisses on me.
And when I sigh,
Rest and hand on my shoulder,
And tell me,
‘You’ll be ok’
‘You know you’ll be ok’
Peace,
I need you now,
I need your warmth,
I need silence,
I need peace.

the time is now

i found this old one....

The time is now; anyhow, my face is changed.
Your dress is nice, by candle light, you dance.
If I get a chance, I’ll kiss you, but first leave.
And so we move and we move, through the busting streets,
Down a covered path, it makes me laugh.
When you trip, with such heals, reveal.
No real skill in walking yet.
We arrive, right on time, dead on nine.
My drink in your hand, and then on the ground.
Your smile fades and mine turns round.
To my joy, your ply, comes kissing over me.
I’m happiest you see.
