Stars

I reach up

Pluck the stars from the sky

Put them in my pocket

To keep them safe

Once I have climbed

The lofty mountain

And reached the highest peak

I set them free

To twinkle

And make

The night

Complete

She wears her poetry in her hair,

and her bare stocking feet.

Blue nicotine stained nails

show her terminal habit;

cold cobalt bitten lips

where pen has split,

bleeds into her skin,

just as her words,

bleed through,

her muse.

Of what do I dream,

when I close my eyes?

I dream of the sea

and the star filled skies.

 

From constellations above

I would fashion a crown;

a cloak from the sea

matches my moonbeam gown.

 

I roam in the heavens

with Arianrod and Aether.

I swim in the oceans

with Nereides beneath.

 

With heartbroken Sirens,

sing laments to the seas.

With Aquilo the wind

I sing songs in the breeze.

 

When I close my eyes,

to this earth I’m not bound.

Neither time nor dimension

can tie this soul down.

Veiled in anonymity,

hidden from the world to see,

living out my life I’m never known.

 

Feeling that I don’t belong;

you all sing a different song,

quietly I slip on by unseen.

 

As the moon its teardrops cry,

each a star lights up the sky,

as it hears my heartbreak every night.

 

One day though I will belong,

you will hear my siren’s song,

ring throughout the universe unbound.

 

Until then I’m here to stay,

writing with my words I play,

poets sybarite will haunt my heart.

Stars over Sea

 

 

 

 

Bury my heart upon the hill,

So I can count the stars,

deafened by my silent rage,

the world’s a critic and life’s a stage,

you sent me to an early grave,

to dance with my daemons,

in a barbed wedding gown,

you broke my crown,

and lowered me down,

so I can haunt the stars.

How dare you call my name,

when you are broken too,

more damaged and fragile than I,

I hope I made you cry,

in that balmy summertime,

occupy my body and mind,

I’ll bury my heart on the hill,

so I can dream of the stars.

 

Dedicated to my dear cousin Alan – may you rest in peace – you will be missed, I hope you can dance with the stars.

!image0011Confetti stars,

and the moons of Mars,

glitter in the sky.

 

My lover’s tears,

weeps a million years,

silently each night.

 

To you I fly,

through rainbow skies,

riding clouds of unicorn white.

 

My broken heart,

as my love departs,

Helios has taken flight.

How can the sea,

leave the shore?

How can the moon,

the stars ignore?

 

How can I live,

without my heart,

and grieve for you,

whilst we’re apart?

 

How can my sun,

no longer shine?

I will not see,

sunrise sublime.

 

How can the word,

without the book,

the empty nest,

without the rook.

 

How can the empty

space be filled?

By graduations,

new lives rebuild.

Moon, Venus and Jupiter

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, Brother Moon,
where are you?
cry Sister stars,
for it is dark,
and we a’fear,
the silence clear,
please light the way,
so we can play,
in night’s a new,
and lead a merry
dance we will!
For you can still,
our beating stars,
with words afar
outstripping ours.
Without your beam,
your words unseen,
your moon not full,
this night grows dull…

Raggi di sole, sun beams

 

 

 

 

Climbing Jacob’s ladder,

reaching for the stars,

flirting with the moonbeams,

it makes us who we are.

 

Sliding down the rainbows,

and bouncing off the clouds,

dancing with the fireflies,

as thunder sings out loud.

 

Lightening Skies illuminate,

standing on high peaks,

flying with the eagles,

all within mans’ reach.

A View of Earth from Saturn

 

 

 

Sapphire seas,

tourmaline trees,

the sun shining sweetest nectar.

I soar in the skies,

whilst skimming the seas,

protected by Isis and Hector.

 

The stars line the way,

whilst the trees bow to me,

and the gulls cry out jubilations!

Old Father Time and Mother Earth smiles,

as the world spins in sweet salvation.
