Poetry

Poetry is the magic germinating out of the miracle of life

Imsidina Songs 

120

The power is pulling all resources together to begin something soulful?

119

Can I call out this bewildering build up of black and white storm?

118

A call a silk ribbon call out of the moon-misty night marvelled in my dream

 

117

Two quivering scarlet lips rising through thick mist in a dream

116

The round about that shows the sign of your home is fog-egged

 

115

This open window this open road this open book all shut now

 

114

Pure purple clouds will you take this dark note to the port of paradise?

 

113

Where do broken dream ships and a wounded wings seagulls end up I wonder

 

112

The phrase that phased you in me said: Igloo Gold when I was a boy

 

111

Number you are not but my colours and their song sheet

Go Up

110

The pier goes deeper into the sea leaving its light reflection on dark water lit by the moon

 

110

Every breathe I take makes me richer for I suck the pearls out of them

109

When the night lights up her bedroom of darkness I sleep in quiet counting

 

108

My loneliness lingers like fragrance of spring that has drunk you

107

These sparkles in your eyes and these lights in mine are connected shapes 

106

I think of you like clouds think of mountain

105

History’s made up memories disputed and dug out in the dark

104

Sam sang the solid sanguine song that she knew and stuck to her gun.

103

Copy not at no time make your will will and work hard

102

I speak of spikes and sparks both sing the songs of truth

101

In the imsiminous hour in the imsidinous shower I ring the bell of words

 

100

A century sighs for some untouchable voids keep forming clouds

Go Up

99

Love is not in the air rather there where you blend all things fragrant

 

98

This rain painted glistening grass spells a refreshment even in the cold

 

97

I think of ships and harbours and their coming home

 

96

Thermal radiance up and down brings the seasons

 

95

Now is near both gone and to come: some position!

 

94

My body is a shoal of cells sealed in the unity of silver membranes

93

The script unfolds the inner scriptures of things

92

There is no music in no connection lapsing chords falling in place

91

Fear foils us like tin foil undo that unholy thing rise up

 

90

Sing insam ring mansum call the winter to heat the spring

 

89

Kiss is the dish made of four little petals of a flower blooming

Go Up

88

This year is ending bending into eternity’s rendition tent

 

 

87

It plays safe when you agree it ought to sing equally when one disagrees

 

86

These omsantian aurelian words meanlinglessly light take them

85

Numbers rise high and low slowly count the beauty’s beats

 

84

River Thames tames the city with delights of her high and low flows

 

83

They want walls and wallabies all in boxed up imports or exports

 

82

Imsum onsana indina onsapa umnisma  oonasim

81

Beats beating bare bones of silence and sampling the sapphires

 

80

Only the power of word magic I command in the cold and heat

 

79

Once they will call an English poet home who wore wrong coloured jacket

 

78

This broken glass hatred bruises you why not melt it and let it flow out

 

77

This nest where things are nestled in motion’s clasp lie our place

 

76

Talking of seasons listen to them changing the water’s being

 

75

In my palms I hold a firm space a living thing for you

 

74

Pain and joy alternate the monotone mindful of your flaws

 Go Up

73

In the sky the night drives her dark chariot charging on through the space

 

72

I give you this straight line of a poem: bend it if you can in a circle

 

71

Seeking solid shapes in a flux of things unfolding magic’s matrix

 

70

Do not please do not seek solid cause for what I write but take it

69

Tell me ring my bell and sell me not anything but tell me your note

 

68

Night’s love bite in a spread of white diamond dew on the grass

67

Plush green grass green gorgeous my garden shines winter’s love

 

66

You are what I call my space that shapes my thoughts in weaving fields

 

65

This place this space this sphere where I am is areal

64

Speak as if God can hear you and your voice will become gold

 

63

Stretch your arm as though it is elastic and can reach infinity’s end

 

62

Look where you are you will find the scene that requires your attention

 

61

One two three where you are dig your knee in the grass

Go Up

Listen to the voices of people see how their dreams landscape them out

 

59

Home-temple you build keep it temple like

 

58

Going home: you are at home all the time

 

57

This line is short enough to tie you in embrace

56

This line is long enough to ribbon you around light

 

55

Pains find their way into your pots and pans flush them out in music

 

54

There is always something to sing about find it  

 

53

When you are fed up fix a red tomato and look at it afresh

 

52

The dawn dawns in a beginning start a new line: sing

 

51

Between here and there connects two speakers in relation

 

50

In the lonely place where I walk pain’s path I look for larks and sparks

Go Up

 

49

I know knowing is not all living makes its nest

 

48

 

The earth early riser responds to the dawn chorus

 

47

Hinge on the door the door hinges on the hinge and the house?

 

46

Trust the beats trust the knitting links that form us

45

If I call your name it is because you call mine in my tongue

 

44

I breathe in air that floats in on the river of the wind

 

43

This line lines up a path all straight going to the lake

 

42

Thoughts are my jasmine nights for you to wonder in

 

41

And be unlike me and not like him and surely not like her

 

40

Begin carrying a bag that is too big too short and too out of reach

Go Up

39

This and that hat bat and rat and their calls must call in sick

 

38

Am trained to train workers that work and not work out of line

37

I am asked to make money while I can only print notes of wind

 

36

In my dreams there are screams of children that are locked in schooldustry

 

35

It is you who I am speaking of it is you that faces the mirror

 

34

You are not going to laugh at my cost, oh, no, not at my expense!

 

33

This flesh and this flush car together they are metal metally flawed

32

So do not call Sophie to say you are a song when you are a soggy sod!

 

31

Gathering rubbish forming a grammar of waste technically you are dead

 

30

Live in the long hand of the shorthand that tells you be in a hurry

29

Far out into the depth of nothing there is still music forming

28

I write your rites and wrongs where all has gone astray

27

You read a book here is one: the mirror

26

Follow this squirrel that jumps over the city wall looking for his nuts

25

The traffic flows the lights and the noises work well yet machines mark our length

24

Silence seems solid and still and no spark seems plausible

23

I am in love with Irenium where isles are coral and I am in touch with pearls

 

22.

I will tell you Neil his name is not Will and he lacks the will to seal your murky deal

21

They always like to put people in their places all fixed in like bricks in walls

20

They ask for my tick on a box and I give them an infinite one

Go Up

19.

They want me to name my group I give them oceans

18

They wanted a woopsey map and I give them my palms

 

17              

I began the bright birding up where all birds fly light without passports

 

16

You called my name and it blew me like a kite

15

Buy the tickets to go to heaven but how are you going to fly?

 

14

Lost is not found love is not gathered in a calculator’s display

 

13

The wind is my ring and I call in the notes to note my melodies

 

12

Speak as though poetry is a magnetic flowing out

11

Love is to be a flow to farm a climate of musical mess on a map

 

 

10

I give you grasping power to grab the magic marbles: grab

 

9

May peace pearl out through your every beat and bone

8

Everyone is no one but all that is none I call you as in I

7.

Come and walk with me my hands are holding hyacinth-time

 

6.

Sing this silent song that refracts through the white clouds in lights

5.

 

I call in response of calls that are beyond audibility’s grasp

 

4.

Here where near and far fork out the map of a new country

3.

Measure this spread that piles all poles and ends in a silent song

 

2.

 

Counting all coral calls of silence I gather a basket of sonar pebbles

 

1

In one little life’s laurel light of a line I give you photon call

Go Up
