Sky Beneath

I’m being watched
As I clamber up a slope
Hunted down, where do I go?
Panorama without hope
The rain streams down
I struggle my way up
Lost, as I pray
“Father, take away this cup”
Deeper down
I sink through clouds
Towards
the sky beneath
Skin goes numb
as the dark enshrouds
My frame -
I cease to breathe
The world is sleeping down below
Windy forest of stone
As on this peak of melting snow
I face my destiny alone
Balancing on the edge of a cliff
Spinning head, this is the end
Spiraling down the abyss as if,
My climb is really a descent
Deeper down
I sink through clouds
Towards
the sky beneath
Skin goes numb
as the dark enshrouds
My frame -
I cease to breathe

Ghosts

A man stands by the side of the road
Pouring black coffee in his eyes
I should have kept on driving but I stopped and asked him why why why
“I have a soft spot in my forehead,
where the bad thoughts roll right in.
A Leviticus kiss”
He continued
Gemmed by a lifetime of sin
“You would never understand my ghosts they make me tell everyone their names”
In the shadow of man I could have become
I was humbled by the strength of my own ghosts
Shark sandwiches
Always on my mind
She said she would tickle my chin
If I paid her for the time
A Photograph
A Broken path on
a lake front shore
I know what I lost
But I don’t need it anymore
Reactions
Are
Automatic
Hammer and a nail
Regrets are automatic and mine are mine
I’m ok
living with my
Ghosts
So full of doubt
So much to prove
Tried way to hard
Rather than lose
Young and dated
Or old and jaded
You decide when you know
Tell me
What is home
If it’s not full of ghosts

Circle's a Square
07:13

No rose-tinted glasses
No citizen of the world
No changed personality
No following the masses
Returning culture shock
Trying to adapt
Weighing the bad and the good
Confused around the clock
Circle’s a square
An old-world language
Modulates thought
Mixed-up new and old words
Different angles caught
Distant friends fade away
Keeping neighbours close
I don't know
where home is anymore
Circle’s a square
Two mother tongues
Two lands of two fathers
Two families
Have become one
No one is home
Home is anywhere
No need to go, gotta go
Circle's a square
Circle's a square
