Trevor Seery

Wakey, wakey rise and shine,
When the tide was high and you were mine,

Diamonds shine when put with Gems,
...

Drunk with love,
Sober with pain,
Awakened by the rumble of drops of rain,
I remember back to times gone by,
...

I am the Shadow Keeper, with you through the night, flashing in the window and along the stair flight,
See me sometimes, sometimes maybe not,
I will make you paranoid until the darkness …stops,
When a curtain moves or a sheet blows I will obey,
...

A kiss to hand, a kiss to mouth,
A kiss that seems to be smuggled in doubt,

Eyes to scars and ears to fears,
...

A glow of phosphorus orange hangs above the tree line,
Shrouded in clouds and time,

Used as an anchor,
...

The Moon stares at me from a lofty height,
Wind cuts through the trees,
a distressing sight,
...

Its just one of those things that happens to us all,
puts us in harms way but never to fall,

A momentary glance to eyes that shine,
...

Look beyond the shoulders to the eyes,
Windows of the soul and the seer of lies,
Lips to touch so soft and lush,
Whispers secrets often.
...

Eyes squinting in the bright lights,
Head held high in the suns crystal flight,
Rain drops fall like tears from my face,
Not because of loss, not because of pain,
...

Bitter as a lemon,
Sweet as a peach,
Like the fruit atop the tree,
Just out of reach,
...

The Sun, the Stars, the Moon and Mars,
Too distant to touch too close not to clutch,

All things connected to me, round the world forever to see,
...

...

With a wave of hands and shouted goodbyes,
a close of the doors, as years pass by,
o my how the time flies, minutes 2 hours and hours to days,
before you know it, years mark graves,
...

Nest are built in the tallest tree,
clad in an ivy rich green sea,
winds do whisper stories and fables,
they are caught by the branches of lime and maple,
...

And if the days were to turn to dark, and the nights never stopped,
I would still feel the same way I felt on that hot day in June,
the sun beat down so stifling a scene, Such a beautiful flower,
untouched unspoilt but experienced in the ways of the wild world,
...
