By death-time pronounced for word takers - sent shrill
came 10,000 moonics - flew down from the hill

Waterfall words splash tired closing mind -
eyes flicker - churning - relentless search

November solitude - an interlude-
new Rhythms- shape a change in mood-

If space and time, as sages say, Are things which cannot be, The fly that lives a single day Has lived as long as we. But let us live while yet we may, While love and life are free, For time is time, and runs away, Though sages disagree. (TS Elliot) Hi to everyone, After not writing anything for 14 years I have decided to start again. I write from simple and shallow to deep and abstract - all in-between-no rules! Hope you like some of my poems. I have never really tried to publish or shown them to anyone before. I have never received any feedback up till now so i would welcome any comments good, bad or in-between and give reviews freely to others Best wishes to all, John)
War Of Words (Contemporary V Abstract)
By death-time pronounced for word takers - sent shrill
came 10,000 moonics - flew down from the hill
An anointed collective - en-mass - darkly formed
passioned earth crust collated - for souls yet un-mourned
Stern archers awaited and strengthened loose backs-
raised neck hair of cavalry snapped back to its cracks
And all was a valley - surreal and unchanged –
where certainty vanished - captured madness in frames
Staggered breath - shredded shivers through misted vent came
a sent wind chose dead-screamed our widows by name
And all was a valley – surreal and unchanged –
as mashed hoards of manics- merged unhinged with deranged
Commenced to attack - set an eagle - our gaze –
mighty wizards from dim world - spelt hell fire with praise
Twisted eyes of the foe rained about us to drain –
their sprit of hate lust – that quenched from our pain
When morning awoke every last word was said
every syllable broached - every last letter dead
And all was a valley – surreal and in flames –
as two worlds of words - both convictions lay slain
