STRANDED

Stranded by Trish 2015

Where's her head? goodness knows?
And standing there without any clothes!
Bold as brass, brazen! I do declare!
A dime a dozen, to be found anywhere!

LITTLE THUG

I'm a bit of a thug in many ways,
Particularly on, cold wintry days.

By Trish 2015

My teeth are chipped, oh what to do?
All I can say is, Boo hoo hoo!

By Patsy  2015

ATTENTION TO DETAIL

To Detail By Trish 2015

Organisation By Trish  2015

It's her own way,
I should say?
Lines, levels,
All the same,
Lifting oneself,
Above the game?

ACHTUNG!!!

Achtung! By Trish  2015

Attention, attention, attention one and all.
Listen, listen, listen for the call.
Of days done in full battle,
Done for one and all,
Beware, beware, destiny does call.

KIDS

Kids  by  Trish  2015

Kids don't like me, they always think I'm mad,
and because of all that, I'm always very sad.

One kid said to me, one dark, warm sunny day,
'go home you ugly duckling" so I went far away.

HANDSCAPE

Designs of life

By Trish  2015

With all its strife
Rules and regulations
Frightful demonstrations
Points of the compass
Directions all clear
But fog rises, its form's fear.

LANDSCAPE

By Trish  19/9/15

With the fingertips of my right hand,
I place my imprint upon my land.

Messages hidden within the dark lines,
are of value to any, who ever finds,
the language of my silent words,
that make sense to those who've heard,
the broken cry, of a weeping love song,
that refines the heart, to a spiritual gong.

Trish  19/9/15

LOOMING LARGE

By Trish  2015

How large she looms,
this colourful maid,
poised beneath. moon's,
pale shade.

Trish   2015

THE RETURNING

This morning,
I began to walk,
and reached,
the end of the earth.
Tonight,
I shall retrace my steps,
and go back,
from whence I came.

A NEW FACE

'A New Face'  by  Patsy  2015

Facing towards a new way,
entering with care the new day.
Places, people and all the rest,
wish me well, the very best.

FORMING

'Forming'  by Patsy  2015

There's a shape of things to come,
of things, occasions, yet to be done.
There's a full form upon my mind,
and it is just about to clearly shine.

Patsy  2015

DARKER THAN DARK

'Darker Than Dark' 2015

Deep in the soul in The Land of Far,
reaching with might, to it's own star.
No matter the image, no matter the way,
it's a star led journey to have our say.

Patsy  2015

IN THE DARK OF THE NIGHT

'In The Dark Of The Night'  2015

In the dark of the night,
and with eyes open  wide,
see the soulful cloud
hear its silent loud,
mournful, mood, passing by,
then disappear, with the sky.

Patsy  2015

MAZE COLOUR

Maze colour, meanders, leads the way,

'Maze Colour' by  Patsy  2015

safely, each and every,  homeward day

Patsy  2015

STORMING THE SKY,

'Storming The Sky' by  Patsy 2015

Storms of colour drive the sky,
and drive me too, almost wild.

Patsy  2015

DASHING AWAY

By Patsy  2015

Raise the curtains carefully, take all time, will allow,
the magic's about to happen, anywhere, anytime, now!!

Keep the lines dancing, keep the laughter light,
play that magic music, while the night is bright

Patsy  2015

KINDRED SPIRIT

'Kindred Spirit' by Patsy  2015

Looking at the world, upside down,
trying to get it straight, right way round,

Letting things float above baby's head,
baby eye's must open, just before bed.

Patsy  2015

AUTUMN LOVE

'Autumn Love' by Patsy  2015

Let leaves fall, days fast fade,
let their colours bleed into the earth,
rest peaceful where ever they may

Let leaves cover all, in a blanket warm,
glorious hues, from head to toe
sleeping there forever,
night after night,
morn after morn.

OH SMALL ONE

Cutting to the bone, cutting to the bone

Left all alone,

Left all alone,

A tear for today,

quickly wiped away

'Oh Small One' by Patsy  2015

SCHMETTERLING (Butterfly)

Here is the freedom of a full heart,

"Schmetterling" by Patsy  2015

why fly far when it's here at the start.
Flying far beyond one's own wise world,
looking for the most precious  pearl.

Drink the nectar of lilac, the divine,
bow to the Sun flower, as if at a shrine.

Patsy  2015

MOONLIGHT MASK

Moonlight Mask by Patsy  2015

Slipping behind the moon, leaving defined marks,
sliding away from the sun, moving into hushed dark.
Healing the scars of time, with light minded balm,
melting shadows away, leaving no trace of harm

Patsy  2015

LOOKING INTO IT

Stretch, dip and dive off, off the solid land,
scratch, scrape, straighten, reach where you can.
Immerse yourself in royal colours of the known,
that cover and glow only, on the royal throne.

Patsy  2015

"Looking Into It" by Patsy  2015

AZURE

"Azure" by Patsy  2015

Where is the blue, the colour of sky?
It's wherever we choose, you, and I.
No need to follow the well trodden path,
Simply mix all colours for a mucky mud bath.

Patsy  2015

BOARDERLINES

"Boarderlines" by Patsy

Cross boarders, break the bind,
cut the cord that was left behind.
Blend the blur of, jaded life,
draw
forth the brilliance of true light.

Patsy 2015

THE HANDLESS MAIDEN MYTH

Handless Maiden Myth by Patsy 2015

There was once a maiden, beautiful! so fair!
It was as if the God's had placed her there,

for all to admire, all to adore and love,
her praises to sing through out the universe,
like a perfumed prayer, to heaven above.
(To be continued)

Patsy 2015

MINKA

Minka is miniscual and so very cute.

"Minka" by Patsy 2015

She does a belly dance and also plays the flute.

Flicking her scarves, quivering her shapely hips,
the scarves flare and curl, then crack like whips!

Patsy 2015

THE CALMING

Calming the storm, casting the nett,
resting within what one may get.
Sifting the jewels from where one cast,
discarding first, the historical mask.

Patsy  2015

'The Calming" by  Patsy

SILENCE

Wait in silence with your hope,

"Silence" by Patsy  2015

tip of tongue, taught on teeth.

Wait in silence for your loaf,
Starve as you watch a silent thief.

Patsy  2015

SILLY DUFFER

"Pumpkin Head" by Patsy 2015

I'm such a silly duffer, quite off my head!
Sometimes I even, look under, my bed!!

Spooky shadows lurk there, or so I've heard tell.
Somebody once said, they grab your foot, as well!!

Patsy 2015

POPPY PALS

Poppy Pals by  Patsy  2015

Push your pen across the page, or tap the keys,

of a computer, or just, whatever you please.

But do keep the door open, to your heart, your love,

it does brighten my world, so give yourself a shove!!

Patsy  2015

OFF LIMITS

"Of Limits" by  Patsy  2015

Tread the sharp nails of needed consolation,
walk the soul's way of much consternation,
pass your own, varied peace, along the way,
keep a coin for your tongue on the last day.

Patsy  2015

INTOXICATION

"Intoxication" by Patsy  2015

Dive deep, then rise, fly high wise ones say.
Greet the new morn of every blessed day,
with joy and gratitude, ever full of grace,
and get that look off your, unhappy face!

Patsy  2015

MISERY

Why is misery, so hurtful, or, even harsh?
Enough to force the breath, and, body apart.
Innocent and foolish child, quaint, naive?

"Misery" by Patsy  2015

Warped from the sins of original mother-Eve?

(to be continued)

Patsy   2015

REVELATIONS

 Let's look at the shape, the form as well,

'Revelations" by Patsy  2015

the lights, dashes, scratches can really tell,

what's going on in the mind of its maker,

it will all reveal itself, sooner or later.

Patsy 2015

PEOPLE

"People" by Patsy  2015

Out into the cold land, out into the snow,
go anytime or anywhere, simply just go!

Snow flakes drift around me, chill my mouth,
while my heart beats the words, out! out! out!

Patsy  2015

BRICKS AND MORTAR

'Bricks And Mortar" by Patsy  2015 

What's a home, without it's fire and, its hearth?
A cold, an empty tomb, without a beating heart.
Cow shed or stable, would mean more to a child,
than eyeless walls, now blank, now blazing and wild.

But nature waits in hiding until the time is right,
and begins to creep across the darkness into bright,
colours of the grass, and of autumn leaves' warm hue,
melting into the darkness, warming the tomb, and me, too.

By Patsy  2015

SUBMERGED

Oblivion sinks into a swathe of tattered cloth,
 merges with another's deep immersed wrath.
Currents keep forging, the way of clouds, winds,
till the bowed head slips into a wasteland of sins.

"Submerged" by Patsy  2015

ECLIPSE

What can take one, away, out of hallways of black?
Towards light, out and away, from the hungry lack?
What can take one into cathedrals of pure colour?
filled with the infinite, given, by a loving mother.

By Patsy 2015

"Eclipse" by Patsy  2015

A SLASH

The blade of tongue, slices through,

"A Slash"  By Patsy  2015

the ground of silent sounds, wounds, all true.

So, startled, fear, the wild animal runs to hide,

mouth's silent awful scream, terror, open wide.

Patsy  2015

BLACK BLOSSOM

Black blossom on deepest bending bow,

Black Blossom by Tushie 2915

as low as the taken blow, can, or will allow.
Grey leaves that curl backwards and now wave,
on wisps of smoke from an empty, airless grave.

By Tushie  2015

SPINDLY SPIDER

Spindly Spider by Tushie  2015

Spindly woody spider, crawling up the wall,
stop look and listen, before you start to fall.
On your fine silk thread, clamber back home,
quickly snap your door shut, no more to roam,
around all the rafters, in corners, or others beds,
go now woody spider! be safe, in your rusty shed.

Tushe  2015

SLIDING ALONG

It's hard to share with grown ups, they make too much talk.

SLIDING ALONG  By Tushie  2015

Another thing that bothers me, is the way they always walk,
so very far above me, heads held high in the clouds,
In winter, their coats flap around, like scary black shrouds.

I wouldn't worry about it, not nearly as much as I do,
if someone would just be my friend, how about you?
I've got an imaginary friend, that only I can see,
he says he likes me a lot, because he's a lot like me!

Tushie 2015

THE MONSTER

"Where are you now?" the sly monster says,

By Tushie  2015

I'm coming right over to chop off your head!
I'll put it in my kit bag and take it far away,
and come back for the rest, another fine day!".

Tushie  2015

VEILED ROSE

Veiled Rose  by  Tushie 2015

Once more the hurting until four in the morning,
has awakened, the memories, and the warning,
that pain my silent companion, my elusive partner,
is forever in the wings, present, and forever after.
No matter the hindsight, the wisdom of it all,
the innocent, trusting child, eternally awaits the fall.

By Tushie  2015

BLACKWOOD

Blackwood By Patsy  2015

Blackwood is the midnight now, no moon too?
See how faint it is, as I look around with you?
There must be more to see, than now appears.
The light will surely shine, on all our fears.

Patsy 2015

BRISTLE BLOOMS

Stark sort of stuff, grown from slips?
Seems to need a bit, of a twirl or twist?

By Patsy  2015

Turn it towards the light, or into the shade?
Let it take its time, that's how beauty is made.

Patsy  2015

FLUTTERBYE

Flutterbye  by  Patsy  2015

As I look on, wait for the dark circles to spark,
a flutterbye hovers, and seems, about to laugh.
Why should that impression come upon me?
Perhaps each dark circle, is an angry bee?

Patsy  2015

SWAMI

Swami  by  Patsy  2015

Oh I'm so in love , I don't know what to do!
Tell me, dear Swami, do you love me too??
Does our closeness stir you, as it does me?
Oh lovely long neck, could we two ever be?

Patsy  2015

A TOUCH OF LIGHT

In the old lady's garden, blooms a secret sight,

A Touch of Light by Patsy  2015

it sleeps in the daytime, wakens at night.
Spindly spider comes to visit, talk and play.
She's most welcome at dark, but not in the day.

The old lady was young when Spindly first came,
they didn't know that danger and fun, aren't the same,
so together the two learned about give and take,
and also learned to meet, while others aren't awake.

By Patsy  2015
