Peacocks Cry

We know peacocks cry

But clouds whisper and stars sing

Oh so quietly

Exhilaration

Posted onAugust 25, 2018August 28, 2018AuthorMoon Biscuit

Spirits flying high

Exhilaration

Undercurrent of fear

Knowing the fall

Must be near

That it will be swift

And the destination

Deep

Bread

Posted onAugust 24, 2018August 24, 2018AuthorMoon Biscuit

Mindful following

The recipe

Careful measuring

Ingredients

Push the button

For the size

One for the colour

Fingers to calculate

The number of hours

‘Til bread was needed

Next morning, Myka

Calls out “oh no”

Which button did I not press

The one with ON on

Tiny But Mighty

Posted onAugust 16, 2018August 16, 2018AuthorMoon Biscuit

Stealthy ninja demons

Are gathering

Just out of sight

Of his mind

He senses them

Preparing to pounce

On any exhausted

Anxious self-doubt

They are tiny

But mighty

Fighting their way through

Hairline cracks

In his carefully crafted

Mental defences

The Vampire and the Sun

Pale vampiric face

Gazing at the bright sun’s rays

Missing ancient times

Guilt and Fear

Posted onAugust 11, 2018August 11, 2018AuthorMoon Biscuit

Guilt and fear

Frustration and tears

Gush out of the well

At last

I’m a thief he yelled

I’ve stolen your life

You’ve sacrificed

So much for me

Tenderly

She smiles into his eyes

You’ve supported me

With my hopes

And my dreams

Where would I be

Without you?

Exhale

Posted onAugust 3, 2018August 3, 2018AuthorMoon Biscuit

Do you ever
Suddenly realise
You’ve been holding
Your breath for days?
When you eventually
Breathe out
With blessed relief
And see things
Through different eyes.

Loneliness

The weight of her

Loneliness

Crushes her bones

Glacier Point

Posted onJuly 30, 2018July 30, 2018AuthorMoon Biscuit

Home of silver-clad gods

Turned to stone

As far as the eye can see

Glacier Point Yosemite

Took us close to tears

And struggling to breathe

Almost unbearable beauty

Blinding Light

Posted onJuly 26, 2018July 27, 2018AuthorMoon Biscuit

Millions of tiny blinding sparks of light

Showering down around her

As she painstakingly tries to weld the shards

Of his broken heart back together

The Well And The Ladder

Posted onJuly 22, 2018July 21, 2018AuthorMoon Biscuit

I was having a bad time

In my well of self-doubt

When along came Myka

With love in that smile

And a ladder

To help get me out

Hidden

Posted onJuly 21, 2018July 21, 2018AuthorMoon Biscuit

Plaintive owl cries

Have unnerved him

Awakened something

Hidden deep within

Tugging at something

He’d forgotten somehow

Or something he

Doesn’t yet know

Red Kettle

Posted onJuly 20, 2018July 20, 2018AuthorMoon Biscuit

We have a shiny red kettle

With a shiny silver lid

Being a bit clumsy yesterday

Hurrying to put on said lid

I quite dramatically missed

It skidded down my finger

Taking my valued skin with it

Just to make matters worse

Only as I was stemming

The bleeding

Did I start reading

The calendar just above it

With the incorrect ill-timed words

“Any day is much better

Once you’ve put the kettle on”

Constancy

Posted onJuly 14, 2018July 14, 2018AuthorMoon Biscuit

Profoundly lonely

Since losing his beautiful bride

He needs to go down to the sea

It provides him constancy

That missing heartbeat

Of his own dear Constance by his side

Soundtrack of the Sea

From gentle ripples

To thunderous roaring waves

The moods of the sea

Seeping into DNA

Soundtrack soothing hearts and souls

Persona

Posted onJuly 3, 2018July 3, 2018AuthorMoon Biscuit

Which persona

Are you using

Right now?

She used to deny

To herself

Quite loudly

That she owned more

Than one

But time spent

With her siblings

Brings out

Sulky petulance

With certain

In-laws the

Mischievous elf

With authority

The rebel

With parents

The patient saint

Manifests briefly

Unconvincingly

The schemingly mean

Appears

In the depths

Of revengeful

Midnight

Magic Happens

Posted onJune 30, 2018June 30, 2018AuthorMoon Biscuit

Magic happens when:

Disparate voices harmonise;

In velvet dark star-studded skies;

At dawn when the sleepy day awakes;

When that place in your soul no longer aches

Pieces

Posted onJune 29, 2018June 29, 2018AuthorMoon Biscuit

Spending so much time

Trying to find the pieces

To construct the whole

Lines

Posted onJune 25, 2018June 25, 2018AuthorMoon Biscuit

Are the lines drawn

In the same sand

As the sand that has

The flags in

Do the lines in

Our faces

Show how much

We’ve laughed

And how often

We’ve sinned

The lines that

We’ve crossed

The loved ones

We’ve lost

And the worries

Of living each day

We have crossed lines

And lay lines

Battle lines, deadlines

And lines that we say,

Like a habit,

Day after day

The lines of a song

That stay with

Us forever

Even if we

Misheard them

And sing them

All wrong

The lines of a poem

That once touched

Your soul

That now you find

You can’t

Quite recall

But the feeling

They gave you

Lives on and on
