cozy aromas fill

aromas fade
and so goes the peace
i'd hoped for today
foolish
when will i learn
that
some things
never
change

for your pride
you get
a new bottle
firmly armed
with looming disaster
keep the lid on
steady as she goes
all hands on deck
arrows point the way
to battle stations
well worn from
overuse
tread carefully
between the
eggshells
crushed
and lying on
the deck

tossed away
time and time
again
only to return
determined
to shroud
all my light
in doubts

time to play dress-up
i want to be just like you
comfortable
if just for a little while
so much more than me
but its wriggly in here
woolly and itchy
inside your skin
is this how it
feels on you too?
or is it just me
being me?

three blind mice
three little piggies
one as all the others
works from the top down
try to teach them better
but what do i know
it started at the top
that's clearer to me now
doesn't mean i'll stop
trying to change this
for the better
maybe the trick
is
to start from the
bottom

Call this world an impressionist painting
Infancy floating down the dream
Up close I see detail unfolding
Colour showered with relief
Distance here's no object
When looking through the stream
In the days before soft rubber
Brought focus and connection, (correction)
Well they offer me a laser
But why would I want that?
Whilst here I have another mode
Just waiting in the wings
Where I can take off my protection
Take it off at will
When safe enough to see no danger
An instant insufficiency
Right here in the can
Warm like soft putty
And swimming with Matisse
excellent thanks!

i was not here

The young man sits on a cold cement bench in the early morning sun.
His sobs form a steam that rises from his buried face.
There is no shame in these tears, no need to hide.
There is nowhere to hide from this pain.
The double glass doors to the hospital
slowly open and close, unnoticed.
He is in deep thought, I know, lead by the pictures in his head.
One by one he will move back through them.
One by one they will become apart of him
and one by one they will stay with him forever.
This I know because I have pictures in my head too.
Pictures I have kept a lifetime.
Pictures that still make me cry,
pictures that I love and cherish, although painful.
He lifts his head, our eyes meet,
the sadness rushes to my heart with that one glance.
If only I could spare him.
Looking at his round red face,
I can't help but think of my father, in more ways than one.
Now in the embrace of his mother, the sobs become stronger
His words almost inaudible,
"He doesn't deserve this. He doesn't deserve this, he's really a good guy."
'I know honey, I know.'
Then the only thing that my years and my pain
and the pictures in my head can bring is this,
'Everything happens for a reason'
"No, Mom it doesn't."
But the answer lies in the pictures that are now his to keep.
The pain, the love, the loss that will live with him now and forever.
The answer to the why is this....
so sad
brings so many of my own pictures and tears to life
good work, but sad that you know these feelings so well

cinnamon and sugar
cozy aromas fill
my dizzy head
this morning
seems promising
but i know better
don't i
aromas fade
and so goes the peace
i'd hoped for today
foolish
when will i learn
that
some things
never
change
They say smell is the first thing we remember
And the last we forget
I have certainly had this, and no doubt so have you
Walking down the street, inert
A fresh blossom perfume, a woman, a man, a memory, a place
Instant recall
With hazy edges
Mind reels
Spinnning, spiralling
Feelings
Rise up as childhood
Spinning, reeling in scent
A centre deep in the brain, opens up
warm fragrant centre where memories live
But more than memories
Place
A person
Me You Them Then
So be careful what you smell for
These fresh linen sheets that speak so crisply today,
May just be tomorrow's undoing
A scent, a pang, a wave,
almost too much to cope with
Inhale and grip
A solid piece of wood
Grip a solid piece of wood
That's my advice

sandalwood and amber
the wood
that solid wood
scented with memories
of earlier times
deja vu
a glitch in the matrix
or past lifetimes
can't be sure
but there it is
heady and alluring
plain as day
sandalwood and amber
sweet and smoky
floats in my memory
grab onto
that solid piece of wood
and hold those
memories
some clear
some on the edge of reality
hippie skirts and sandals
opium dens and dreams
sweet and warm
others unknown
but real and present
hold them
for your own
for today
they are what
makes me
feel alive

The lady smells of sandalwood, amber
She drifts by, hardly notices me
Her tears fall
Down my own face
She buried me
She cried
And then she walked away
She left me nothing

rain falls on my heart
rain falls on my soul
but no one sees
the rain that falls
deep within my mind
tears that fall for all
things lost
for people, dreams and desires
that couldnt for whatever reason...
...remain
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
what they see
is the sheen
the scarlet
and black
some call me
beautiful
but i wonder
what solace lies
within the
black depths
i walk beside
there is no
beauty in this
world
only pain
and loss
scarlet
amber and sandalwood
console me
no more

On the Brink of Life
The young man sits on a cold cement bench in the early morning sun.
His sobs form a steam that rises from his buried face.
There is no shame in these tears, no need to hide.
There is nowhere to hide from this pain.
The double glass doors to the hospital
slowly open and close, unnoticed.
He is in deep thought, I know, lead by the pictures in his head.
One by one he will move back through them.
One by one they will become apart of him
and one by one they will stay with him forever.
This I know because I have pictures in my head too.
Pictures I have kept a lifetime.
Pictures that still make me cry,
pictures that I love and cherish, although painful.
He lifts his head, our eyes meet,
the sadness rushes to my heart with that one glance.
If only I could spare him.
Looking at his round red face,
I can't help but think of my father, in more ways than one.
Now in the embrace of his mother, the sobs become stronger
His words almost inaudible,
"He doesn't deserve this. He doesn't deserve this, he's really a good guy."
'I know honey, I know.'
Then the only thing that my years and my pain
and the pictures in my head can bring is this,
'Everything happens for a reason'
"No, Mom it doesn't."
But the answer lies in the pictures that are now his to keep.
The pain, the love, the loss that will live with him now and forever.
The answer to the why is this....
It is his pictures to keep.
brings so many of my own pictures and tears to life
good work, but sad that you know these feelings so well
