Your heat (#4)
Posted: September 27, 2012 Filed under: Poem 2 Comments Driving is merely transportation it is not arriving. A destination may be reached with or without frustration. Not all journeys are for pleasure nor to be taken entirely at leisure. Sometimes I take the wrong turning travel without precision make the wrong decision and feel I might be simply an imposition. But when I hold such thoughts I turn instead and set my course to you because it was is and will be in the furnaced passion of your heart that I choose to burn.Meet The Limebird Writers

Two rabbits – a poem of 9/11
Posted: September 10, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: 9/11, Poem, reflective 4 CommentsThis poem was written not long after the events of 9/11. I cannot think of how to describe the emotions and the aftermath of that day without cliche, but these words came from the heart and stand a test of time, I feel?
Two rabbits.
Two rabbits,
oblivious to
two towers tumbling
and thousands of
subsequent oblivions.
Sometimes we forget
that telegraph poles
were once trees,
and that great civilisations,
and their emblems,
never lose their capacity to lose their dominion
and be brought,
awesomely, abruptly,
to their knees.
In the sands at Bournemouth
Someone has scraped a name –
Caitlyn.
I hope it was the work of a lover.
For we must remember,
That love’s constancy
aims to please.
Meantime,
we are all but as rabbits,
caught in the twin beams of headlights
and impending oblivion.
