Boom - 1/11/2016

Champion

Bang, bang, boom, boom
Battle cries fill the room.
Window left, window right,
Coaches call, autumn night.
Window down, quarter four,
Winning kick, hit the floor.
Trophy raised, newfound fame,
Cheap champagne, won the game.

Swaybill

The sand and clay were mixed and new but worn.

when ice and night forswore their souls to light.

An echo screams between the columns scorned,

a lantern glows between them shining white.

Two coat tails whipping 'round the bending aisle,

a tempest growing romance budding new.

Midsummer blinds while smoke and wine beguiled,

unfounded tables found are set for two.

Alas a famous two sit down to note,

their subtle scratchings on a parchment page.

her ghoulish phantom now and then is wrote,

his Triumph lost and gone before its age.

He writes to join them now in modern way,

in hope of clearing clouded mind of grey

Journey through the stars,
chasing dreams and hopes and fears.
Paths are fraught with danger, joy,
loss, fear, ceaseless noise.
Greed and need and duty's call,
lightning surging, fingers pall,
Forest ghosts and deserts' glare.
Swampy, misty, city's core,

Keep me grounded, keep me fair
until true balance fills the air.

1/8/2016

Out of time,
Can't be late.
Seal the night,
Seal the fate.

Childhood song,
Evening fright
Pale lit day,
Risky flight.

Growing close,
Laughter still.
Epic quest,
Windows' sill.

Fading now,
Slipping dark.
Job is done,
Missed the mark.

She's got a ticket to fly
Bloody Sunday Monday night
Dancing soreness
Prancing sadness
Feels good in the moonlight and rain

Altitude

Altitude 
shining above platitudes
pedantic semantics
breakfast on display
robed in golden threads of silk
made and made again well
perhaps a different size
or confusion running riot
or angry buzzing noise
or sashes crossing chest
or eagles screaming nest
or anything that lies below
altitude.

For CM

Foggy nights and whispering stars
Who forever sing me to you
All these chances all these dances
Bring me to you, and you to me
Bring me to you, and you to me

Brassy walls and frigid nights
Hedges grow across fruited lane
Radiating right beside me
Bring me to you, and you to me
Bring me to you, and you to me

Iron light and glowing core
Who forever sing me to you
Dances, glances, and romances
Bring me to you, and you to me
Bring me to you, and you to me
