My salty wet face

Sinking under cloud and sea

Back where I belong 

Mountains of regret 

Bury the last of my dreams

In headlights frozen

Blue bottle clouds swarm

Clamouring out for fresh meat 

The circle complete 

After the black storm 

Cloud mountains roll over us 

Words I can’t undo 

A persistent flow

You penetrate my weakness

Like a water leak

All those lonely nights
In the darkness of my mind
Invisible light

Hanging in mid air
Us two foolish clouds drifting
Into orange light

Am I climbing down?
Did I give up too easy?
Spin out of control

Long meadows shimmer
Grass seed halos at sunset
After all my life

What is in my heart
Is buried so deep inside
Lost in the quicksand

Early wood smoke curls
The first breaths of a new day
Years of growth consumed

The sun is rising
Awake, thy dreams pass away
Receive the mountain

On creaky floorboards
Polished by thousands of soles
Like you wear me out

Hidden grey matter
What kind of dark light resides
Behind these grey eyes

Stare into the sun

You can’t forget by trying

Deteriorate

Watch rain clouds roll in

Stacked slowly ‘gainst the sunset

Drifting off to sleep

Gossamer splinters

Tangled, entwined in teasels

Grey matter twitches

An ancient orchard

Brambles squeezing out apples

The fairies are lost

Ruined castles rise

Protruding from the fenland

I can’t let you go

These broken windows

So many stones I have thrown

Just give up on me

There’s another world

A space that’s inside our heads

And that’s where we meet

Restless devices

And a broken dream machine

Tiresome tumult

Between your warm arms 

A dew drop grass sea shimmers

Die in the sun rise 

Between fairy lights

Buttons polished fairly bright

Backward ferry rides
