The Act! (Fibonacci)

The Act! 

Mask
of
painted 
cheer and joy
Beneath lurks the pain
Etched through sadness and worry's knife 
Concealed with trickery, a veneer; sad eyes blatant

The Harlequin

He came to her like a harlequin but acutely attractive despite the flamboyant guise
His playful teasing a welcomed distraction from her lonely and tortured demise
His words and sentiments lifted her self-imagery with his sweet patter and gentle tone
He dulled the pain, and tamed her fear, opening her up to a world that she had once known
But apart from the compliments, stolen moments, chaotic but pleasing innuendos and banter
She knew it could never be; a figment of fantasy, as security and love he could not grant her


He was promised and bound to another as was she; the future was planned and expected
The winds of attraction danced tauntingly between them, whispers of ecstasy and pleasure detected
The dalliance that could never be was only ever to be imagined within her troubled consciousness
These illusions and desires she must eradicate, deny, condemn and imprison concealing her brokenness

Music Transcends!

Music Transcends!

The bleak lights penetrate the soul of an empty club
The sound check looms eerily in the smog through an over used Sub
The base growls its low tones, the guitar pierces the light
The tune begins abruptly causing the onlooker a fright
The drums entrance the listener as the singer begins to croon
The promise of what is to come infiltrates their minds like cotton in a loom
The audience silences and awaits with anticipation and baited breath
The gig commences, cascading into an enigma of calm and intoxicates by stealth
It touches, caresses, transcends the people who have paid to listen
Beads of perspiration and the light of joy within the eyes of the performers glistens
Is this what it feels like and is perceived to have made it?
The band can only wish and pray to realise this actually and sustain it!

The Chameleon

To all, you become the one whom they convince themselves they so absolutely or desperately need.
The one whom they lust for, with wanton, deepest desire and unquenchable masochistic greed
The one who understands, empathises; the most kindred soul and the only one who is like-minded.
The player, the patter merchant, the one whose manifest declared is so perfect and beyond splendid.
You change, you alter, you penetrate deep into their sub-conscious realms and then their souls
Once they're smitten and reverently hypnotised, you begin to further puppeteer, orchestrate and effortlessly cajole.
Your personality dedicates itself to mirror theirs; reflecting their hopes, dreams, fantasies and fears.
Painting a canvas of lies that will bewitch and romanticise with the seduction of fake sincerity and tears.
Your alluring façade, so beautifully illustrated, is a triumph, a masterpiece and a success indeed!
However, through conjure, you have inadvertently robbed yourself of a true existence which is a vital need

Time

Time

To a child time is an enigma,
something to learn and be understood.
The moon and sun rising - a Phenomenon.
A vital lesson synonymous with parenthood.

To adolescents, time is a dictator;
controlling their whimsical desires and dreams.
Their hedonistic follies turning them into vindicators;
demanding more time for freedom and the end of regimes.

To adults in their prime, time is a routine;
a ritual undertaken without any contemplative thought.
Speed is what's required; they are not expected to glean.
Convenience and time-saving devices are frequently sought

To senior citizens, time is precious; 
must not be squandered and should be relished at all cost.
For death is coming closer and of their end they are anxious
Their regrets weigh heavy as their times of youth are lost

So should we be saving, killing or defying time?
Or luxuriating, revelling and basking in the sublime?

Megaliths


The stones; they loom dominantly against the night's murky sky, 
awash with a purple stain.
Such a megalith or henge is of an age gone by,
of a generation lost but yet they endure and remain

Shrouded in mystery, steeped in the undisclosed,
cloaked in legend, in ancient myths of old.
From mouth to mouth throughout the dawns of time;
their legacy, is now but a story, a riddle that shines

Oh why did our ancestors build such triumphs;
these magnificent structures of wonder and awe?
Our minds hypothesise, deliberate; search futilely
for archeological clues and aspire to learn more.

I sense a magnetic pull towards them; my spirit...
my soul commanded as if within them I do belong
Betwixt the stones, the wind moans her sweet melody
and hypnotises with a familiar, alluring song

In times of crisis I feel compelled to make pilgrimage,
so as to find some needed solace there
Their  calming, gentle energy invigorates my sense of well-being
and with me their peace they share

The sovereignty of these majestic landmarks
still evades comprehension and civilisations through time
We can only know what we observe and how beautifully they channel celestial light

Even though we have unearthed the scattered remnants of our forefathers
and their illustrious artefacts
Despite us and what we've dug, burned, plundered; these sites still stand, largely, bewilderingly intact

Perhaps we are missing the point;
they were not built for what we perceive as a practical function.
Maybe, instead, their essence remains untainted,
pure, mystical and beyond our presumption

I believe this is how it was meant to be;
so through them we can acknowledge their ethereal grace
To be inspired and enlightened by their divine reverie,
within such a spiritual and philosophical place.

Insomnia!

She sleeps, without sleeping
The dull light of dusk, or is it dawn;
penetrates and invades her troubled mind
Her thoughts infuse an enigma of the past;
obscured, twisted, tangled, confused and distorted
Deja vu, but in reverse
A guilt-riddled perspective subjects her to a pain she has felt before
The hand of hindsight has been dealt and cast

Surely, the murky pool will become clear this time over
Faces and places of the past entwine and mingle with those of the present 
Relationships become elusive and undefined
Colours radiate and words linger longer
Her eyes are weary...
she looks for meanings or at least some kind of solace

Questions begin to cross the realms of consciousness 
She hears her mind ask itself "Am I dreaming?" 
Rudely the trance of slumber is broken...
her focus redirected and emerges within the hypnotic rhythm of the rain
To no avail, she struggles to reclaim and return to the plain her mind was on
Her body shivers as the sun once again, predictably, rises
So too... she knows this unsolved nightmare will return again

It's superfluous

Its only function is to control, cap and restrict

Rejected Love

As she lies next to his beautiful, masculine frame
Her heart wishes secretly that things could have stayed the same
Her body tingles and surges with  hedonistic anticipation
Although she knows what lies in store will only be futile and filled with frustration
Undeterred her sensual urges grow and flow more intense
He intrinsically senses this and positions his body in defence
She promised herself she would keep from advancing... she would refrain!
As rejection is almost assured it will only injure her confidence once again
Her lover, husband, soul mate, partner,  friend 
Can she allow herself to dream that this painful cycle will one day cease and end
She not only craves the fulfilment and tactility that being a part of him brings
She also longs for closeness, divine connection that she hoped would transpire when they promised with rings
As he drifts into slumber unaware of her torments and deep seated pain
She embraces her pillow, tears silently fall  as she feels abandoned once again!

Why?

Why? 

Beneath the stars there is a pure and undiscovered light.
Although the majority of us hesitate, but eventually regain the fight.
Of what others see clearly and our ancestors have claimed
Is fundamentally why we are here but yet why so restrained?
The unfathomable fear and inhibitions that within us do dominate.
To be as one and yet to indulge we must not procrastinate.
As an infant untainted by ebbing, incessant greed.
To share the love and to fulfil vital, primitive, core need.
As the circle of life unfolds abruptly and is revolved
The essences of our clarity is diluted, polluted and subsequently dissolved 
As to why, where, when we walk these endless plains?
To be loved and acknowledged, is it all in vain?
We are who we are and who we are, has always been.
To pass undiscovered is our futile fate, which is undeservedly mean!
Our gift to all, so pure, surreal and indeed innocent in its nature.
Although we may trudge, lost, through the abyss in trusty, dependable waders 
We know where we are going and where we have been.
The rest is a mystery and remains elusive and unseen!

A

mind never
existed; yet!
You're mistaken; virtuous I am not!
My sanguine lips befit of blood I've shed
Slain without ruth,
wanton loves;

Thus,
never
has it been
in mortal time,
easier to quench my ravenous thirst

Damaged

Bruised,  battered, bullied and bereft of all hope
Damaged, destroyed, dishevelled but dare not, she speak
Saddened, sickened, sullied and scared of a repeat

Abused, ashamed, assaulted; anxiety prevents her sleep 
Devastated, disgusted, demoralised; detrimental to her health 
Controlled, contained, concealed, camouflaged; she weeps

Maimed, molested, mutilated; misery surrounds and engulfs her
Wrecked, wounded, weakened and wronged by all concerned
Ridiculed, ruined, raped and robbed of all she's earned

Traumatised, tormented, tortured and tragically alone 
Eradicated, extinguished, embarrassed; endures silently to the end
Scarred, soiled, shattered; thus suicide her only friend

In hiding

In hiding

We are aliens, impostures in this secluded and far away place
Under the radar, like ghosts; always careful to leave no trace 
Like rats we pilfer, borrow, forage, recycle and raid the bins
Wanting to be together and so deeply in love are our only sins
Like the owl, we are nocturnal and like shadows we have become
The wild weather plagues us at night but to it, we shall not succumb 

The barn it is our palace, our love nest and our shelter from the storm

Monster Within....PTSD!

How many more of our boys will be left to suffer?
Wives, girlfriends, partners, children, fathers and mothers.
Traumatised by seeing their loved ones shattered and broken!
Through the atrocities of war a monster has stirred and is woken 
Invading, consuming our Hero's every thought
The enemy it seems... not the only thing that must be fought
Left unable to escape, even when they try to sleep
As its intensity grows and to their subconscious it leaps.
Corrupting and transforming their once peaceful dreams
Evoking night terrors, flashbacks… making them fall to their knees!
Actions, words, emotions lose all incentive and meaning.
Drugs, alcohol et cetera, become crutches upon which many… are leaning
Their future robbed of hope, good health and cheer.
Replaced by self loathing, paranoia and fear.
Their loved ones look on helplessly, frustrated and ill equipped!
To deal with the consequences of the balance tipped.
Oh where now are the ones who sent them to war?
When our lads are bled dry and shook to their cores.
Really..is it too much to ask that our Heroes be cared for?
Ironically, our politicians continue regardless and instead deploy more!
When will the recognition be given to those with their wounds unseen.
The treatment, empathy and funding required to deal with the aftermath....PTSD!
