Love in all Weathers

When the weather closes in around you

And the ferocious winds turn against you

When the rain falls like bullets to hurt you

And thunder deafens like cruel words

Then lightning, continuous, trying to shock you

I will be there

Your hand in mine

To help you shelter

Find the calmness after every storm

I’m the relief in the burst of sudden sun rays

The bandage for all your wounds

Il silence the thunder into peace and birdsong

I am the earth that absorbs the lightning

I will hold you tight

I will see you right

There’s a lot of peace between the falling rain, you just have to care to notice it.

Trees of See

January 16, 2020Poem, poetry, WordsA Clearer Mind, co-dependent, Life, Love, poetry, relationship, Trees, wordskmjmreed

Amongst the trees of see

Patterns

Abstract shapes

Of you and me

Syncing

Not sinking

Breathing with ancestors hearts

And forever bathed in light of a perpetual dusk

Often muting

Always mutating

As life sets in your eyes

with occasional death on your mind

And nothing but love on your lips

You make me see

Through the sea of trees

Tumbling

You speak when you’ve not spoken

I rest upon your eyes

You can sense what most cannot feel

Until the walls come tumbling down

Anna Lies

Its’s all true, she said

Anna Liza lied

And even as she analysed

Her very own lies

All the while staring into Hanna’s eyes

Hanna tried easily to

Lie about disbelieving the

Lies Anna Liza told her

And she herself analysed

Anna’s lies that she spoke of

But Anna Lisa

Can see a liar a mile off;

When she sees one

And Hanna hasn’t met

A good liar yet

So both turned and left

Their lies lying

and so as it was

Anna and Hanna

Never met again

And for this reason

They were a little wiser…

But that could be lie

Mind… the Gap

April 29, 2019poetry, WordsAnother place to be, Poem, Surreal, The London Underground, The Mind, The Tube, Time, Travel, wordskmjmreed

Mind the gap

For there is a place

A slit in time

With an empty space

Sending you through

In a unknown direction

Travelling sideways

To another dimension

Mouth it clearly

But don’t make a sound

Commute this

Dreams Awakened For Sleep

When you wake you’re still in a dream, he said to himself.

That was way way back, one early morning,

when only the night remained,

and all daytime was stuck in his dreams of his life awake.

Somethings Recorded

May 15, 2018Poem, WordsAnalogue, Cassette Tape, Memories, Poem, Rewind, Tape to Tape, Unsteady Images, VHS, wordskmjmreed

Suspended in VHS

Travelling to ends

Triggering rewinds

From tape to tape to tape

The grainy

Through the rains

Unsteady

In the rolling winds and mess

Memory Memorexed

A cassette drape

A Simple Blizzard

A piercing, white blizzard had arrived, and everything familiar had all but vanished.

That’s all Joel had noticed in 3 seconds of eye-lash laden observation, shortly before his body yanked him backwards; his deadweight dropping him to a soft land.

It seemed for a while yet, he should remain foetal.
