Starlight angel

 

A starlight angel came down to me

Sweetly she spoke

'We are star dust upon nature's wings'

And I awoke

no longer sleepy.

My heart broke free from the shackles

holding it down.

I planted myself in verses.

Let them bloom,

blossom bursts of the finest words

lifted through the gloom

on the winds of love reborn

 

Softly I flew on clouds of hope.

I knew, I know that the light

of day leads to a new road.

A place where the glisten of sun

settles on waves of glittery gold.

The shine of day leads to a night

where the stars sway in the sky

and the moon elevates our hearts.

And I will ride those rays of light,

knowing that life can never hold me down.

That hurt can’t stick around  if I don’t let it.

 

Spent so long chasing the sunrise

when the moon was always my light.

I let my fleeting mind elope on fantasy rides

Whilst I stood aside losing hope

Never noticing that the stars

would align whenever I looked

at them glistening in the sky.

But now I know that truth lives inside

and the magic flows across

your beautiful countryside

 

If you would give me home

in your heart and mind,

my flesh and bones

would find the way to your door.

I’ll carry love in a heart

that was once turned to lead

now your alchemy has created gold,

and I’ll roll along this road for however long,

maybe forever more.

 

Until I find the right one

on that journey, I’ll soar

because my hearts wings are beating strong

and the rhyme sings only to me.

And through it all

I’ll carry love in the swept away tears

that land upon the floor

watering seeds planted when yesterday

sowed its stories for us to adore.

And I’m sure

that when I find that door, it will be left ajar

for love seeps through the air

no matter how near or how far.

100 reasons to be happy

 

How time flies so quickly,

it seems like only yesterday.

I was unprepared.

That darkened room atop the stairs

A cavern of poetry.

There was no preparation.

This was a life change

like none I’d been through.

A lightning strike cutting the grim sky in two.

What had gone before - now just words

left on the cutting room floor.

Beyond that door

100 things to be thankful for.

I entered in trepidation.

 

I remember the faces as they

blink like scrapbook pages

across my eyes,

Names scrawled,

handwritten flickers across my memory clouds.

But the words rang loud,

they hit me in the guts.

I was down they lifted me up.

They shone

100 times brighter than

the power of the sun.

 

The people downstairs

sat nursing beers,

completely unaware

of the world of words

that was forming up here.

I remember when it was just a baby,

there were roots growing in the floorboards.

A sapling starting to sprout

letting its leaves touch the air.

Friendship trees that would last 100 eternities.

And the shy poet found his feet.

The voices starting to shout.

Filming those first stumbled steps.

I felt alive.

 

Time ebbed and flowed.

On the move to the board gaming cafe

All new scenery, but the magic still glowed.

The words never ceased, they increased,

describing in beauty every roll of the dice of life,

every devised storyline in the tabletop game of time.

Each beautiful line spoken

in sublime rhythm from

the lips of poets in their prime.

and then it was cut down .

Doors locked shut.

Covid was in town.

and we were at home.

Everything sucked.

 

But nothing could stop the flood

The words had to be,

online we created a buzz.

A show every month,

me cramped in front

of video editing software.

No idea what I’m doing,

but also, no fear.

Laughs and tears as

poetry slipped in between

sketches and quips,

We kept the shows coming

in the year that wasn’t here.

100 reasons to clap and cheer.

 

We re-emerged,

like bears from hibernation.

The world had changed

but our words brimmed

over the edges of pages.

We found new stages

First LCB depot

and now Phoenix arts.

Poems sprung forth

from hearts abloom.

Friendships blossomed

in a field of verses.

DJ Ninja Bob holds down the tunes.

Sammy booms into the mic

a sacraficial poem for the baying crowd 

to open up the night.

Before we laugh and cry, smile at life,

love a bit deeper than ever before,

and the audience no longer

merely claps and cheers.

Now they roar.

And even in my saddest days

You give me 100 reasons to be happy.

Some Antics

The place that helped create me.

Love drifts oblivious

 

Love drifts

oblivious,

yet I dance

on stardust

as it lights down

on me.

Love is delirious

and I’m unable

to control my feet,

the rhythm keeps

pulling us

like tides of a sea.

Love is delicious

It flutters in the belly

like popping

candy for the soul

and I feel full.

 

Love sits with

quirky angels

whist I move

at awkward

angles,

but love

sees not the weird

I wear as my skin.

It sees

the me

that leaps

around

within.

Love is transcendental

It is beyond elemental,

it’s on no timetable but

it ticks on eternal.

 

Love

spins the world

like a DJ

playing all

the right songs.

I stumble on

her dance floor,

wondering, should I?

But having no choice

as my feet move in time.

Gazing out for too long

like I’m on a secluded beach.

Love surfs across

the candyfloss clouds

that I keep my head within,

never noticing

the way she sometimes

glances shyly at me

and whispers a sweet

word on the wind.

 

Love lives

in the wind,

in the air

we breathe.

Love lives

in the cracked

clouds

where sunlight

pours in

and I bathe

in her light and believe.

Hoping some

of it will seep in.

Hoping she will play

me her song all night,

so I can dance

in her presence again.
