Tock Tick

tick tock tock tick
tock tock tick tick
waiting
in the dark
for sunrise and breakfast and the first lick
of jam-covered fingers
and the kick
of morning caffeine
before setting out upon yellow brick
tick tock tick tick

waiting
in a fog
of tired brain and heavy lids
where sandman poked fingers
and dreaming hid
any sense of time
before tripping over that yellow brick
tock tock tick tick

Too soon back
to the land of lonely
and land of snow
to powerless life
and meaningless show
tickety tockety go go go

tick tock tock tick
tock tock tick tick
time to hit that yellow brick

The World Revealed

After midnight, under moon
As we venture unto doom
Charming countenance, soothing voice
Smothers scream behind rejoice

Pretty pictures in the glass
Hold our futures and our past
Stolen moments crumble by
Without focus, with ne'er a sigh

Hide beneath the blankets soft
Gross with comfort, unknown the cost
Eyes bewitched by beauty's skin
Virtue flounders and covers sin

The world revealed does not exist
But it enchants us with its kiss
Poison arrow will each us fell
If we do not resist... The Spell.

Fall

Dry fluttering colours till
The senses with crisp and chill
Memories arise clear and filled
With family drives and apple pies and misty river mills

Fall the weather
   Fall the leaf
      Fall the stumble
         Fall the teeth

Forest carpet, orange and red
Cleanses the mind of useless dread
Rustling music fills my head
Sharpens thoughts, like energy shots; the dregs of sadness shed

Fall the weather
   Fall the leaf
      Fall the stumble
         Fall the grief

Music is All Around

Above the light
Almost Front and Central
Mainly in the heart of town
Staring at treetops
Talking to Chimney Swifts
as they make their chimney swift sounds

Music is all around
It's all around me
Music is all around
I try to sing with it
Sometimes I'm right in it
Sometimes I'm too busy feeling down

I wanna harmonize
and synchronize
But can't memorize worth a damn
Please don't sympathize
Just turn those eyes
And mesmerize this little lamb

Music is all around
It's all around me
Music is all around
Bright up my chorus
Be my song forest
Be my light and my sound

Be the light
Refresh the night
Reset the moon and stars
Don't be right
Just be the shining knight
To the fireflies caught in jars


Music is all around
It's all around me
Music is all around
Please sing me in it
Sing me each minute
In the music I am found

Something About August

- inspired by Tanis MacPhail, written Aug 4, 2014

The cicadas song
awakens old summer past
Lemonade on lawns
of dry, mowed grass

Hide and seek games
dawdle just around the corner
Novel pages ruffle
in the window-seated dormer

There's something about August
As bees bumble flowered tracks
Something about August
That brings the memories back.
