Experiment with light



Experiment with light.

We all shine in the azure
On this bright 
Ocean earth pearl  
Tumbling infinity 
Radiating reflected light  
Flowing out and beyond   
the endless Waterfall of time

So as not to look down
not to look back 
But flow forward
Keeping well on.

Stay with in
to look without,
 purity of the pearl in a grain of sand
 the deepest silence in sand grain mind 
In many layers of  the luminant consciousness 
Which illuminates 
Phenomenal phenomena

When invisible
We see the un-visible In its true visibility.

When we cannot see
We have no faith  without faith  We cannot see  Yet faith is a raft  to cross the wild wild sea And leave it all behind

(I will not look out at the distractions
down at the corrupting)

Throwing light to Truth
Truth to love.  Eros, phraternia and agape 
All of it a smiling dream

Ever-seeking  soul
Can you know the silence ? 
Know silent light? 
The stillness of it all 
The micro vastness  of God 
moving 
In every atom. 
All things dancing  in the radiating vibration  of the singularity of being

But none of the above
And none of it with out the light of love

Sci philosophy

the poet sees deeply 
But science sees only process and theory
It cannot own knowledge, 
Nor imagination or leaps or vision
Fooled by hypothesis
Slowed to a crawl by arrogance 

It does not see behind 
The thing itself. 
They only see the parts.
The Russian doll atom
The poet knows 
It is lighting in a reflection 
A cracked mirror of desperation 
An acquired taste
A chance encounter 
A reaching out
 And a taking in
all consuming synchronised 
Passion
A turning sideways to the sun
And hard to face
Rejection 
A totality of being

One doll to represent it all

Time

Nothing can 

protect you

but  love.

the day slips

 the sun rolls

Toward the hills, 

warm light spills 

on the kitchen wall, 

in the distance laughter, 

calls


Outside the slow 

pacing clouds,

Precipitate,

petrichor 

 fills the air.


Chin on hand

From the longing window

Stare at the passing shower

And Wait and Wonder.

At the passing  hour


Time is a fly

Bone idle buzzing,

against the pain

My pain and yours

But love, love

close

And in separation 

 knows Nothing

Of  truth or what is true


But it alone has the power

To heal me and you.

Corner of a Dream

I came around the corner of a dream
And saw you coming 
down the  old lane
  I recognised your blue eyed smile
 What are you doing here?
 We screamed 
We hugged in tears and joy 
Your wet tears on my neck  
Laughing and crying 
We walked the wooded  field edge 
down to the stream 
Among the bluebell bird song  
And talked of times gone by.
 Your family and the perfect sky 
How every one was doing now 
Your children  
Whom I will never know, 
Long hours in sun  
we sat cool toes in a pool
 A lazy summers day 
You and I 
As the evening set 
 we fell away 
Slowly to sleep 
On the hospital grass bed 
You smiled  
Through the respirator. 
I held your hand 
And parted
 I awoke 
howling into the dark

Hyacinth moon

Y Tir Cwastraff


April is the miracle month
Resurrecting life 
from dead land
fecund Ram 
flood moon
The moment in full colour,
Steeped in plenty, 
Womb full desire. 
Weaving  memory
On scented breeze.
The perfection of being 
In the sheer forever now.

The seed sap 
bright liquid dawn.
Sun surges 
through stem 
the engine of leaf
the engine of me
The force that
Explodes blossom
That drives my blood
Knows no winter
Sees only
Death the generator

April is the fifth Force 
Surprising us with
sudden rain 
shivering the lakes surface

‘Coffiwch! Dim Sais! Cymro dw'i!
Go iawn Celt!’

We called across the lake
of the drowned village
As the submerged bell rang.
But we knew them of old
So rung  a slow curse.

Mixing blood and soil
Wild hyacinth scented
Cauldron monthed
Wild moon miasma,
Thunder struck by creation:
loveless you will be
In the unreal city
Virus ridden lost ape 
Alone in the karma cafe 
Rain streaked windows
Lives measured out
In cigarets and ringed
coffee cups
Plastic spoons.
With no real home
Nor hope in deliverance 
Educated far beyond 
Our Intelligence

Loser


Success

Like bloody evening falls, 

Over my content 

My heart slows

Under its seductive whisper 

A gold feather of lead

A cup of tea gone cold

An empty hall 

A closed theatre

vacant seats

Something just not right


The candle gutters

A lazy Spider crawls

Shadow play on walls

As I wait 

in the dust 

Of silence 


foolish I 

Poor silly man 

Wanting it all

But never catch as can,

Must be content 

With my discontent 

I consent 

But at what cost?


For had I won the universe 

And you,

I still would say I’d lost it all

And say it was not true

Iridescent death

King fisher
cobalt flash
bolts under
the weeping willow’s
latticed leaves 
plunges the surface  
of the reflected sky. 
Fisher King 
under the Skin 
of the rivers flowing fleet 
to strike sublime  
 scaled flicker of fish,  
Iridescence inspiration.  
 Depth dug meditation  
To hold the mind open   
And sink up, out
and pierce flesh  
Flick the surface 
of the evening splash 
streaming out beyond
 to become kissed sublime. 
Sheer Stealth from above 
the fisher of souls 
ignites his fatal love 

Experience once

The flower cracks  the seed That grows the bud  And the smallest atomised grain blooms the maths of things  Joy love, fear and pain  the equ...
