The Fence

26/06/202317/06/2023 C and K Words1 Comment

A straight division
Once we had hugs and kisses
Now pillows divide
When did we put up the fence?
Lamenting what we once had

Kindred

25/06/202317/06/2023 C and K WordsLeave a comment

a comb from long ago
black and white photographs of ancestors
looking at what was and what might be
a kindred familiarity

a plea to the heavens
reboot my life so that I am not related to these people
looking in the mirror and seeing my mother
using “the voice”.

Confused Seasons & Hygge

Winter has found us
Autumn took a vacation
for a hint of Spring
A wind moves from off the snow
Hygge weekends with you and books

Richly Eccentric

23/06/202317/06/2023 C and K WordsLeave a comment

He lives a Victorian aristocratic life in the 21st century; hunting, buying, and banging chics are his hobbies.

Frustrated with life at 26, he becomes an Influencer and a comedian.

In his glade, he made many life-size fish and chickens.

He ponders what to do next.

A Song

22/06/202317/06/2023 C and K Words2 Comments

We speak in flowers
We gaze on life through art
We hear the rustle
of a song beginning to
play from a place we forgot

Jar of our Love

the jar of our love
when we met, the lid was sealed
then wheezing began
one day the lid blew skyward
you looked pale; I looked startled

To be a Prince

weighed down by duty
constrained by formality
you retreat from sight
contemplating the roses
gazing upon the free stars

Moonstruck by Shadows

Captivated by an aura
Movements in the moonlight

Sea shadows hypnotise
Feeling the sand consuming

Ghostly ships appear
Whispers from dead sailors

Sirens calling from the depths
She is moving closer

Calling out for answers
No one stirs in the moonlight

Tea

A coming to be
beginning understanding
sipping tea alone

The Door

You whispered unknown words
What has this land done to you?

A glimpse of something ancient
A presence, an evil resides here

Glimpses of the void, touched by the desert
The gift of sight and understanding scares you

A task too great
You enter the door
