There's little to be said for staying out of sight,
And little gained in wondering if we'll be alright.
The sky will always compromise to charm the night
With hope of light, hope of light, hope of light.

The meaning of it all is blue and bittersweet,
With all these poems destined to stay in...
But words will always kiss when it's their time to meet.
And then oh, the light, all the light, what a light.

Light ~ Jim Sanger & Nic Evennett

The joke's on you, 
Careless little thing. 
Bold unyielding, 
Bouncing round a ring. 

So whose side were you on?
Whose side were you on?
Turns out they all decide. 

Merge with the motion... 
The blow, the cornering, 
Just for the simple things, 
Just for arrival. 
You want to take me on?
So won't you show yourself.
I bleed survival. 

Masked marvelling!
Pointed, china chin...
Just keep the peace, girl, 
Keep the weakness in. 
So who'll guide you along?
Who'll guide you along?
Turns out it always turns out. 

Merge with the motion... 
The blow, the cornering, 
Just for the simple things, 
Just for arrival. 
You want to take me on?
So won't you show yourself.
I bleed survival. 

Merge with the motion...

Merge

~~~

with bitter wings on broader shoulders,
here lies my sense and curiosity.
here lies their lies told, shaped and bolder,
until i don't recognise the me in me in me in me.

be kind, be kind...

some words
to please June
like we pleased December

(takes courage, too much courage, to hear all sides)

your glorious eyes see more than any others'
your gracious mouth curls around every light.
whose life is this, above, beyond all others?
whose is this body, this oversight?

rewind/be kind

some words to please June
like we pleased December

Please June

I've Got So Much Love For You It's Unreal

For Richard Read. Rest sweetly.

~

The whistle of wind at my side,
And the rise of waves and the fall of my pride,
I will lay me down on this salty petticoat
And listen to the secrets of this broken boat.
The weathered masks of glory and time,
And the bells and the calls of the harbour shall be mine.
I will sing my stories from soldiers of the sea,
And this fading little boat will comfort me.

The wind blew our hands clean
And our stories through the gaps between.
The water made us thirsty still
For all the things that could be real.
"But words are free",
You said to me,
Then vanished from sight.

(You float with me, you float with me)

i don't live here for you to know me
and you don't know me at all.
your careless waves make eager stories -
can't fight the waterfall.
i've laid with every constellation
and dreamt of empty words.
don't care for airless conversation,
only the warmth of birds.

where every song has meaning,
like lilies on the tongue
in lilac mouths, daydreaming -
no ugly note is sung.
for you, for me, a place of mending
and never-failing words,
where trees hold us to stop us bending
and all our friends are birds.

Hideaway (Freddie King)
