Several weeks pass

rollings

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

tremors

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

rollings

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

tremors

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

rollings

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

tremors

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

tremors

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

Note to self: I need to buy an old Nick Drake LP as soon as humanly possible

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



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

rollings

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

:shock:

hmmm..... I must keep this special "wishing well" here in mind!

Rollings, this piece is so fucking good I feel it deserves a thread of its own. Stunning. The writing is so 'tight' - I don't know how else to express it

+1 Nice!

stay with me a while longer next time
stay with me til I can't wait until you have to leave
like old times
you and I are way too similar
to ever get anywhere at all
way too fragile in all the same places
way too strong in all the same
yet seeing you still lights the room up, the colours swell and burst
only not quite like they used to
when the colours bled out of the walls
and seeped into my every soul
Blessed are the signs of age
the fuses that just turn the temperature right down

Godfather.

Thankyou. You are kind


stay with me until I'm sick of the sight of you
until I'm gasping for some air
until I sense your train rumbling away into the blackness of the night
and feel the pang of your presence clinging to every lonely wall

rollings

several weeks pass
and still in rounding past the part of
the past which we did
I couldn't breathe upon hearing yours
passed off and left for sleeping--but alive to me...
awake as I'll ever be
warm as home on the walls from where it used to be
expanding and contracting like we do
saying our acts of digestion
while sparkling specks of blissfulness
become sun spots for the honey moon

tremors

tremors

always looking down on something
always peering in the window from outside
always trying to stay one step ahead
of the gnawing feeling
gnawing at my guts
this year we learn
one step ahead is still enough
