Shuffled deck of love

 

I shuffle my thoughts

because the deck

makes little sense.

Trying to find meaning

in the randomness

of happenstance.

I just know that

somewhere in the distance

a vibration fills the atmosphere,

not a sound of fear,

nor the echoes

of thunder rumbling near,

but a song of love

trying to find my ears.

 

I place my hand slowly down,

flipping the cards one by one.

A distraction from life

that is leaving my mind war torn.

I want to witness dawn as she

tears apart the ocean of night,

parting the clouds

to bring forth the light.

I want to sit upon the silver satellite

and watch you rise

like a phoenix

from the black fires of night.

 

As I flip through the cards faster

like a mystic spell caster,

I'm seeing images in my vision

I see you and me, deep in a dream.

I see the slow rise of sunshine

breaking across the sky,

sprinkling the room in light.

I see you start to wake,

as I slumberly start to forget

the adventures of dream walkers.

I see you blink away

the dark waters

clouding your eyes

and kissing me.

 

The signs sing for us,

the stars blink a message of love.

We just need to look up

once in a while,

and smile.

In my hands I hold my destiny,

not in the cards, but in the deeds

I do today.

In the things I give away,

sharing what I have,

my heart, my love, my words.

My worth is in these and more.

It pours from me if I unscrew the tap.

I don't need anything back,

I don't need to say anymore.

Just to see you smile, hear you laugh

as I open the curtains

and let the sunlight pour across the floor.

I'll be happy with that.

Steps to forever

 

I want to see history,

walk through museums

witnessing ancient stories.

I want to feel the electricity

of a room filled with ghosts,

faded memories of past imagery.

I want the synchronicity

of yesterday and today

to become one,

so I can witness life

in its three-dimensional glory.

 

I want the wooden beams

to pour their memories over us,

as we walk through these

relics of another day, together

facing the oncoming eternity.

I want to whisk you away

to another time and place,

be it a fantasy island

lost where time's

distant heartbeat sits,

or a romantic hideaway

where our kisses

will lift any clouding mists.

 

We could take the cobbled streets.

The buildings hanging all too close,

trying to feel the

essence of your heartbeat

within their masonry.

We can gasp

at the ornate surroundings

as we take our

first steps into the past,

this place of luxury.

See the walls hiding us away,

as we walk where

phantoms never sleep,

and ghosts never lay.

Where the night and day

blend together

into an untimely fantasy.

 

We can stroll through fountains

feeling the water

evaporating on love burnt skin.

We can explore towns

where timestreams haven't ravaged

the glorious sheen.

We can walk beside dreams, centuries old,

where hearts have been bold,

opening their love

to the one they wish to hold.

In truth, I want to be anywhere,

everywhere that the sun sets

upon your beautiful hair,

with the moonlight

dancing across your eyes,

as I'm whisked away

to dream of our first steps into forever.

humanity stands at a crossroads

 

We are taught

that the devil dwells

down in the depths,

of some fiery hell,

but I know I've seen

his face smiling.

When I've been

walking at night,

at a crossroads

in my life,

I’ve heard him

speaking from the shadows

just out of sight.

It's in the acrid scent

of acid that pumps through

some men’s veins.

The scent that the devil

is around again.

 

From time to time

I’ve seen his grimace

from the tv of mine.

You can see it

in the lips spread across

teeth that are too big.

You can sense it in the air

when it gets the sulphuric tang

of electricity burning

through the atmosphere.

It's in the bolts of lightning

that strike down with fear,

or the missiles that fall

when the warlords start to call.

 

Preachers speak of heat rising,

burning you to a crisp,

teaching us, with a wicked lisp

to follow them like sheep,

or is it more like lemmings

ready to leap?

We are taught that good and bad

are external sources,

but from what I've seen

it's us that use them

as a set of resources.

 

We bleed the lands dry,

we steal another man's life,

we take over distant lands

to create a retirement fund

that we won't ever be able to use.

We set fire to the fuse,

whilst looking away

when tears are cried,

babies die, houses are torn

down in rocket fire.

Our hands soaked in their blood,

then we have the nerve to

speak of the other

as if they are the evil

and we are the good.

 

We are told to believe that good and evil

are ready to do battle.

That the angels have our backs,

as long as we practice what they preach,

if not then it's a heatwave

beyond our wildest beliefs.

As the skin begins to peel

when the itchy heat gets in deep,

but from what I've witnessed

evil and good live amongst us,

in what we do and say.

In the demonic way

we ravage another man's

countryside. Why?

Because we can. Who will stop

the march of the unkindly ones?

Is this part of some grand divine plan?

Or just that the devil truly lives

somewhere deep in the hearts of man.
