gone midnight
echoes
my light bulb just flickered out
weird
to light the room with a haloed glow
something's stirring somewhere
you can feel it
If space existed beyond these four walls
I would drop in a pebble
and watch it tumble into the distance

    today
    the drummest of dol days
    I reflect that I have been visited by fifty dreams from all time
    vivid as snow falling at night and people who move like friends in a dark, dark dream
    'tis that which must have brought us right here
    to and from ourselves
    or at least
    this is what
    I imagine

    sorrow rises like spikes
    coming up from several places
    spikes lift from my shoulders
    and from my chest
    sorrow comes up in front before me
    the lifting makes me
    It takes me heavy

    still believing in love
    still believing in a sacred space
    to keep safe from the lashing
    constant lashing
    still believing in her
    what a fool I am
    the difference between her and me
    was every night she got down on her knees and prayed

    moving like a place I don't know
    clearly, blurry paints its way
    a florest growing right past up to
    the road I thought had gone

    you folks are awesome

    I am tired; my heart is
    sick and sad. From where
    the sun stands I will fight
    no more forever."

    electric friends feel something they don't
    terribly uncertain of which way to go
    'to whom do I speak?'
    matters not
    in the grand scheme of things
    things in the grand scheme of things
    often get lost
    melting like ice cubes into the ocean of something
    us, seeking something, often one thin thread is enough
    just the faintest glimmer of humanity
    to recognise another
    stranger heart beating

    my light is back on
    I hear two clocks ticking
    it's restful
    it's always restful before midnight
    after that things get decidedly worse

    I'm hamming it up for the benefit of the Americans - it's the only way for me to stay sane around here - to become increasingly British!

    Maybe Chadwick will join us for a cup of tea

    Ok...now I've seen lots of "instant messages" on the forum intended for who the hell knows but the person writing them....but this is the first time I've ever seen a "note to self".

    (pretends shuffle through some pretend nothing or nothings)...um, ...
    ...Chadwick is correct, Tremors...

    You have won
  • tremorstremors Posts: 8,051
    Naw - I was seeing this as a thread for collaborative musings. Nothing to win here. Hopefully Rollings we may continue some time, or maybe I should start a thread for 'Wistful poetry written past midnight' ;)

    my view holds
    empty-handed, lay-down streams
    what's now in mirrors is
    glass once in windows
    viewing sand though its space

    what you gave to me
    a view of everything
    I see
    going away

    Holy lamplight, Tremors,
    I think I just described rearviewmirror
    although at the time I didn't even know it
    isn't that strange, a little?

    Yeah, stuff like that happens to me writing here - it goes in deep that stuff. You have produced a distilled ethereal RVM! Like

    Tears bristle
    What is left when the fight subsides for a minute?
    Just the desperate sadness
    That this will never be over

    giving in, not up
    turning to, not from
    living with, a given
    can't live without
    you think
    you've trained to ignore
    what your heartbeats deplore

    what you said stiffens
    hits the floor

    Sometimes I sit on a bench around hometime
    middle of the town, end of the day
    it's relaxing, watching the people cycle past
    drive on past, amble by
    it's not as hectic as the morning
    they're going home
    they have somewhere else to be
    me I may as well stay here for a few more minutes

    everything for me
    resonates "temporary"
    never so cozy as
    limbo warm
    my home

    Autumn night riot act beyond twilight
    Genie coming out of the bottle like all those years ago
    Smoke, ghosts and firelight
    Being set free
    Reminds me of the time I stepped out into the night
    Left them all worrying so
    Whilst I prowled the night a cat
    Fixed only on that fading orange glow

    they say time is the healer
    but I wish I had the fix
    that would let ego melt away again
    to before the time I grabbed it
    for too many years
    it's the only thing that's got me through the day

    Mystical strangeness indeed today. Have never seen one of these, in three years of looking - but today my vinyl charity shop had a whole load of new stuff in - top of the pile was this one

    IMG-20110917-00077.jpg?t=1316275195

    Now I do indeed own a Nick Drake record! 4 days on from publishing my request ;) I must try this more often!

    Feeling gratitude towards whoever is running the universe :)

    in keeping with time
    dirt of, with, and to
    all for one necessary
    come the first of tomorrow
    I'm keeping love with mine

    love with is mine
    it's such a stronger word, is to
    like keeping love with mine
    or one keeping four not one or two
    like love keeping love with mine
