The Light

Posted on November 17, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

I watch it burning sometimes; that bright candle in the room. I watch the way she walks about; bright sunlight in life’s gloom. I know I don’t deserve her and I often wonder why she chose a grumpy man like … Continue reading →

The Bigot Within

Posted on November 11, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

There’s nothing like the openness of the bigot held within; that dictates to us what’s right or wrong before our thoughts begin. It’s always so high and mighty because we hold it so; that bigot tells us what we think, … Continue reading →

Words echoing in my mind

Posted on November 10, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

There’s words that come from who knows where, that fill my heart with love and care. I hear them echoed in my mind, their beauty is not clear defined but resonating deep within I cannot help but let them in … Continue reading →

Words from another place

Posted on November 10, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

There is a way, a winding way from deepest fear to light of day. There is no way, there is no path; it leads away from comfort’s hearth. It is so clear we cannot see the way that takes us … Continue reading →

When Waters Rise

Posted on November 2, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

We’ll know their lies when waters rise before our eyes and our world dies. We’ll cry our woe but we should know ’twas our death blow; We’re our only foe.

The Final Joke

Posted on October 28, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

Life is simply death not done a race that’s run but never won. The toil of moving through each day thinking there’s no better way. To finally die is a release; at last a soul that’s left in peace. My … Continue reading →

End Of Days

Posted on October 25, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

I’ll tell you the truth, I will not lie; the planet’s fucked, we’re all gonna die. We’ve gone too far, there’s no reprieve our world now dies – no time to grieve. We didn’t listen when they spoke; we dismissed … Continue reading →

Rebuilding Earth

Posted on October 20, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

The Doomsday clock’s pendulum swings; in the West we clutch our precious things. The world is burning, we don’t care about this planet we’ve stripped bare. Though some may see what is to come our whole damn world is somehow … Continue reading →

A Bitter Brew

Posted on October 19, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

Without laughter there are only tears as I look around at all life’s fears. I feel the Planet’s deep distress at what we’ve done – this bloody mess. And so my humour bubbles up to overflow my sadness cup. I … Continue reading →

My Gods

Posted on October 18, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

The Gods I face are mine alone; it’s from my acts that they have grown. I stand before them morn and night for Judgement in their precious sight. But though they may be Gods so real ‘tis with my own … Continue reading →

ME

Posted on October 14, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

I walk, at times, through city streets; the sound of madness my heart meets. The madness of a world gone wrong; the music of the ‘streeters’ song. So many souls without a home; doomed by us to simply roam the … Continue reading →

Surrender is victory

Posted on October 14, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

“Surrender is victory” I heard a voice say; “There can be no winner at the end of day”. I’d battled so long, I’d fought all the way, how could I resist the pull of the fray? I stood on the … Continue reading →

Specks of gold

Posted on October 14, 2019 by a foolhardy florilegium

So much was found but never learnt; delusions that I now know weren’t the reasons I saw vistas new where sights unseen so often grew. The wisdom passed by on my way; I wandered, blind throughout the day. Today, with … Continue reading →
