52W13 week34 - Tannic Glass

13/7/2014

 
52W13 week34 - Reflections
Broken down and ground to burning dust
between the what we perceive as now,
and what we knew as once was.
Held in dark suspension,
little more than a glowing shroud
embers left to carry on
and extinguish in the night.
Surface skimming, floating along
reflected off tannic glass,
misrepresented reflections
never seem to last.



Photo is of the moon and clouds reflecting off the surface of tannin soaked waters in an inlet near my house.

52W13 week33 - Lost

8/7/2014

 
52W13 week33 - Lost

I watched a man for a little while
who seemed out of time and out of place
Looking dimly into the now
and with no sense of his future,

he couldn't keep the pace
The world had turned so very far
When he was a small boy,
he tried to hold on, to stride along,
to keep himself good and clean of any marks
Turned out the world was not his oyster
or a precious articulated toy
He wore and tore along the very seam
that kept him anchored in the now
 The wear and tear,cast him back, so very fragile, 
to when his thoughts were keen
He will never mind the now, nor the future never to come,
rather remembering all he had lost
So very out of time. 


52W13 week32 - Clutter to some

29/6/2014

 
52W13 week32
I knew the time had come for us to move along.
Clutter to some but memories to us,
numbered, labelled and packed away
in shrouds of unread papers.
Capturing news and advertisements of the now,
discussing the latest and selling to some
what could be the greatest.
If you had credit or at least 24 months
to consider the folly of the want exceeding the need.
Handle with care and directions to stack.
If only the memories could be stacked
neatly with a minimum of fuss.
Still moving on and cataloguing our dreams,
fills me with hope for more.
Joys of discovery in opening boxes
and straightening out memories,
or clutter to some.

52W13 week31 - Simple

22/6/2014

 
52W13 week31
Chatter and quiet come as they may
weaving across the redwood floors.
Rattle and clink of glasses and plates,
echoing laughter chases back and forth,
across a warmly populated room.
Music combines as the coffee revives,
simple pleasures so deserved.
Captured in moments
that can be added up
to form warming respite
from the grinding vibrance of life.



52W13 week 30 - Thunderous run

15/6/2014

 
52W13 week 30
Spent my time running the boards
pitter pounding back and forth
no reason but to chase the sun
enjoying the sound 
of my thunderous run


boundless energy unleashed in the hall
sprinting along
enjoying it all
Nothing but a fire
and the comfort of the boards
is all that I desire.

52W13 week29 - Wings on my Feet

8/6/2014

 
Picture
Pavement dreams massage the pace
of my feet drumming simply
to a beat all of my own
Left and right can't be told
from either as I move along,
rapidly chewing up distance,
carving up a footpath's song
Dust devils swirl from
wishes of wings on my feet,
dancing briefly in turgid air
before collapsing back 
to slumber in concrete bedding
Sycophantic steps still
and rest gathers and binds
my feet in lush quiet

Did but walk

3/6/2014

 

Did but walk

When I took the field

and held the disc

I stopped and admired

And felt a wish

For a man

Who did walk with gold

And smiles

His brace it glowed

With unearthly fires

Greatness I had seen

Of this I would talk

For alas the man with gold

Did but walk

I was chatting in FB with the Captain of Eastern Greys, a masters team attending WUCC14, and wondered out loud if I cold apply gold leaf to my knee brace.

This tickled my fancy and I quickly threw down some words to capture where my mind was going.

I still think a knee brace covered in gold leaf is a great idea.

52W13 week28  - Flick the switch

1/6/2014

 
52W13 week28
Flick a switch and turn me on
rub me like a lamp
and I glow all night long
No secret in making me shine
got to find the spot
where the power pushes out
and makes me feel divine


When all is said and done
the workbench bathed in sweat
I know honey, oh I know
when you flick the switch
I will shine so hard 
and kiss you like the sun


Some like the dark
lying with secrets under sheets
not me my sweet
I know that when you find the switch
my heart shines to your beat.

Torn feet

28/5/2014

 


So much I have

travelled

walking all alone

looking for something

something I should have

known

All the roads

are empty

travelled by a few

looking for something

perhaps it is you

though my feet

are torn

I'll keep on 

walking

hoping for something

something less than

scorn

So much I have

traveled

lost without a 

home

looking for something

forever all alone

torn heart

torn feet

walking all alone

to emptinesses strident

beat

52W13 week27 - Blur

26/5/2014

 
Picture

Moments move past in a rapid stream
pulling me under, dragging me down
drawing me deeper and deeper to darker dreams
fighting and urging myself back
clawing up against the current so dark
drawing breath as I break through the mirrored surface
sense afire, tears burn my eyes
clouding my vision, as my sight begins to die
blurring and fading all that I see
leaving a mark, spiderwebbed eyes
can't take the past that means so much to me
wondering about the future
so many moments yet to come
ready to drown me once again
however I am not done learning how to swim
draw me down once more
I will shall rise up to clarity
where the light is not dim


The image above captures the blurring of my vision after a bad bacterial infection. It came on rapidly and in a day left me with a cataract in my left eye. The infection is slowly coming under control, however it is spreading to my right eye. Rather than cry about how unfair life is, I choose to be positive and take this a challenge and learn from it.
