I’m watching

Orange street Light

pasted

on an old Chapel wall.

An Advent Wreath

Clinging to a Podium

where men preach.

People settling as light fades.

Fog quilting old stone

and empty lanes.

Cars slipping by

in respectful monotone.

Now and then

A faint sanctuary light

flickers bright

in hope.

High Tide

Here I stand, alone
accusing

A woman of half light
Claws barely sheathed

Consumed by anger, desire
and a terrible love

Blaming you for
days without dreams
a half life of broken promises
and raped delusions
resisting an overwhelming impulse
to devour you
crush all that you are
passionately, with a dedication that pulverises you.

As with the tide
I gush forth;
Bubbling simultaneous
Enthusiasm, frustration and despair.

And then lie still;
Empty dreadful and alone.

There are moments when all is calm. Equal.
Hence I stand and say:
I defy you, I adore you, I love you I hate you.

I acknowledge your simplicity,
Recognise your submission
to muted dreams and capabilities-
your compromised existence,
your confined aspirations.

As the sea to the land
Gradually I would erode you
Whittle away at your very core
Undermine your bedrock
Consume you;

Laying You Bare.

I challenge you then;

Face me, day after day;
As I rush at you relentlessly
Beating at you: Smashing at your Surface:
Eating away at all that you are:

– Resting awhile -
Resting, Resuming
Resting, Resuming

Until: no more
But an Echo
On an Empty Shore…
