Surreal

Surreal the scene, within my dream

A place of ghastly horror

A figure hanging in the sky

A stark magician’s tower.
Surreal the scene, is this a dream?

This place of dark morbidity

Or am I banished far away

For becoming a liability.
Surreal the scene, I need to scream

No life within my view

Is this a place of spectres

With hatred dark to spew.
Surreal the scene, was that a scream?

The hanging figure twists

How did I get into this place 

 No skills, to deal with this.
Surreal the scene, stark, sinister, scheme

Then a searing band of light

From the tower emanates

Illuminating a portal wide.
Surreal the scene, whose diabolic scheme?

Is this a horror fantasy?

What do I trust, in this farago

I only have my vanity.
Surreal the scene, grey, drab, unforseen

It’s meaning for me scary

I need to travel forwards

Trust my instincts, find sanctuary.

The kind that all the songs and prophets preach.

That ideal relationship, just out of reach,

 The kind that all the songs and prophets preach,

Have I just got scales in my eyes?

Stopped seeing the best, the love in the guy,

Has it just got layered in dust,

Melded down with layers of rust,

I assume that I know all there is to know,

Stopped seeing the sparks and caring, so

Have my expectations just got in the way?
That ideal relationship just out of reach,

Maybe it’s there, if I don’t impeach,

I need to look at the whole,

Test out my beliefs ,then cut out the bull,

I need to analyse my feelings, pull them apart,

Maybe test,  the workings of my treacherous heart,

Get out the duster, scale the rust,

Look hard at my lover, try or bust,

The ideal relationship maybe within reach.
The kind that all the songs and prophets preach.

Aura

The aura surrounding you, mellifluous sound and light

Colours blending and changing, music in my mind

 Your aura enchants me, pure cosmic delight 

There is beauty, surrounding us keeping love inclined 

Words alone cannot tell, meaning, so sublime

Diverting my love

I got carried away by our interaction,

Thought it was a source of mutual attraction,

I got carried away by your seeming caring,

Those whispered words and the texts endearing,

I imagined ,we shared something special at times,

I am sure we did, fleetingly, or maybe I am blind,

I knew you had  others,

Then there were your brothers,

Our time together, seemed  intense,

In this universe, it felt immense,

I realised, I had been carried away,

The day you forgot my words, of yesterday,

As one of the crowd, I am just a fleeting fling,

It won’t be me, when cupid, releases the arrow from the sling,

It pains me to release these silken chords,

But our relationship, will never win any awards,

I got carried away and am getting hurt,

I am setting us free, my love to divert.

Live tomorrow with pride

Hold the joy of the moment

Keep it safe within

Whatever happens tomorrow

Don’t let the demons in

When things pan out in abundance

Remember, that moment of bliss

It’s yours to keep, to treasure, to learn

Like when, you  stepped off the cliff

If your dreams don’t pan out and things go askew

Regroup, retrench find the siren song, bright not blue

Don’t give into despair,or  let the black dog sit

Dive right in and salvage the good bits

Hold the joy of the moment

Don’t let the demons in

Whatever happens tomorrow

It’s a new day , free from sin

Learn from the good and the difficult

Don’t let angst, cast that moment aside

Let go of anxiety and anger, live tomorrow with pride

The enforcer

My wrath can be great, I am the enforcer

My compassion can be great, I am the assuager

I am here to defend all that is good 

I am here to punish the bad, am I understood?

I have been created to subdue the outdated beliefs

To quell the  need for conflicts, to lead to new reliefs

Love and peace is my first option but please understand

These swords in my hands, are more than metal bands

They spew love or retribution  with equal force

I will not hesitate to find the just cause

When things are looking bad

In the blink of eye you might catch, the flutter of feathers 

As I fly by, vengance and compassion  my tools for all weathers

I am the enforcer, I am the assuager, fashioned in the balance

Hope you never need me life can be a pennance.
