Take Heed My Friend - A Trippy Verse For Welsh

Jonathan Creeks hoola-hoops are orbiting softly on a gentle breeze,
Flea bitten pigeons are singing heartily to the great Lord Cracken.
Dead and dying dogs with trippy cups of tea,
Green spring sprung, wet still makes mud,
Drink heartily my friend, she awaits you.

Take heed boy,
It’s a rare deed that must be sown for flight
To come to those unknown,
Take heed my friend,
Even ornithologists have oracles, debate,
Articulated moose regurgitate themselves for you,
Will you wait?

Mystic magician devouring imagination,
One more place still, no vacation,
Plastic insects, urban bizarre, photo opportunity for the blind,
Read it first, ha-ha
Opportunity has only two pees,
Two police men at your door, knocking shit into your mind,

Days Unsleeping

Days unsleeping where will it end?
Smoke your soul away my friend
Learn to keep the devil at bay.
Though still you letters he'll send.

No more to know
No more to see

Nowhere to go
Nowhere to be

That's the mystery my child
Each born wild and to be tamed
First you are bathed
Then you are named.

Wash away the flesh of the womb
Open your eyes into the white room
Bright light bursts into cavernous cave.
Banished from a world of dreams,

Ask 2: Take your place in the tapestry of life.

It only happens once, play your part, as best you can
Who can ask anymore of you than that you tried, failed still
its no surprise to me that they would always hold us down.

Get your head out of the clouds, you’d hear them say,
Then running circles shadow play.

A return to the elemental, a state of calm,
Slip in lucid tides, hide away behind a wave of passion,
Ride the wheel, turn back the tides,
Tell me how you feel is this reality for you,
I don’t know what it is no more.

Open up the doors of perception, clear the mind of impurities,
Drift away in placid calms, I wont do you know harm babe,
It’s beyond me to do so to think like a genius, to act like a fool.

Turn it all in, back again, another point of view
Another face you thought you knew.

Beyond the Horizon a War is Waging

Beyond the horizon a war is waging
As raging forth is the beast of mans decay.
Upon dusty desert trails they are seeking;
The homeless ever running throughout
The hills upon which they used to cast there gazes.

Now crazed and loosing sense
Of reasonable instinct
Defence hath become an attack
Upon the nature of man himself.

When one suffers we all suffer for our race,
Faith may heal but never with the zeal
Required to race cannon fire in the name
Of any Lord of the feathered heavens above.

Imagine the dismay,
The bombs ever falling as thunderous rain,
The pain of children lost,
The pains of desert frost

The Solar Disc Inferno

The moon is a sliver plate upon the table of the night
The solar disc inferno is raging above some far off distant land.

The air is warmer that it was before
But still biting with icicle tongue
And we the young
We are aging
The pages of history are turning
And over new and distant horizons the sun is rising
On the world ever lost in spiralling creation

No one moment can exist into the next
But we may slide, graciously at times
Into the abyss and return with the knowledge of love

Through the gateway to the kingdom of shades we stride
Holding high our heads with pride in the knowledge that we seek the light divine.

In the eyes of the one you love the sacred is to be found
In the smile of a child is the wonder of the universe unfolding.

Chaos Rules the Garden of Her Harmony.

Out of the calm expectancy we claim as security
Rides a child of glowing radiance, born of the blood moon tamed.
He sleeps within the garden evergreen
Keeping clean the blue that glazes the dreams of children
Reflecting upon their means.

We as dogs are reared from birth to conform within uniform.
We are taught that man in the lord of nature yet fickle by
His own existence. We learn beyond the translucent panes
We know as escape that upon our hands the blood of our
Mother stains. It pains me so to see the mother that bore me birth
Laid placid in acceptance of the turning of her children.
She is butchered. Chaos rules the garden of her harmony.

What are we to do as brothers of the grain?
Are we to watch our mother writhe in pain?
As we abuse the Love we receive from her nurture
Using the excuse that we are by the nature of our stature destructive.
Ever excusing our actions with the construction of abstractions
All we are doing is refracting the truth upon a reflection distorted.

Here I am Alone

How strange it is that I should feel this way,
Disjointed, disillusioned, isolated from the day.
How strange it is that I could feel this way,
Disjointed, disillusioned, lost within dismay.

A deeper blue than I’ve ever known beckons beyond my shoulder
Each moment I grow older, each moment a lifetime’s fading

Self pity breeds self destruction, yet how am I to construct
A world of splendour when I am forever scared to face endeavour?

Sick I am of fading in and out of blue,
Always I am waiting for the moment that I find you
Longing for the Love I offer from deep within my blue.

Outside you stride un-willing to hide
From insecurities bred through paranoia.
Here I remain, paining soft and slow,
Growing more and more annoyed with myself
For placing hope upon the shelf and allowing

Bloodshot Skies

To fly on the wings of a dragon trailing destruction in her wake,
This is all we know a nightmare set so far in stone it’s impossible to shake
In foundation, as consolidations are offered upon the sight of tragedy,
Offered the witness describes in colour the plight of imaginations pallet running dry.

Too many tears I’ve cried for the girl of skin tight denim wears
For the girl destined never to shed a tear for a love she could never
Comprehend. Understand me when I say, I never wanted it to be this way
Striding forth into the foam, roaming, searching for a place to call my own,
This is all I ask.

To swim the deepest blue in an attempt to drown my love of you
This is how I start the day, defences laid bare in every way.
As rose petals fall to autumns calling, embracing the ground as they land from flight,
Mother earth in her yawning, awaiting the dawn
As consolidations are offered upon the sight of tragedy
Offered free tears the witness describes in colour the plight of imaginations
Pallet running dry.

To awake early morning by bloodshot eyes, I’m running free from bloodshot skies,

Rise throughout the day.

An empty page lay as a child un –aging
The page is raging, awaiting the kiss of the ink.
If only to forever miss the interest of waking eyes,
Forever into obscurity the child is sinking.

We are as Adam and Eve cast from the garden of Eden,
We are as children with wisdoms eternal imbued.

I lay here alone in sinking.
Thinking un-blinking of knowing
Your touch to be real.
Here I am out of reach, insecure,
Here I am seeking a cure to my ailment,
Here I am placid in descent.
As you adorn the town in multi-shaded fineries
Not so far beyond the horizon. I’m dancing out of time.

Two oaks entwine, there branches alphabets in the wind.
A lake beside doth conceal a girl
Upon whose vibrations angels swim.

A Walk Within Valentine Gardens.

To you who drank from blue bell goblets,
To you who sipped from the chalice of Harmony
I wrote this song for thee.

To you who smooth my soul with questioning
I request you treasure the memories I leave you
As I will forever hold true the memories I keep
Of you hung safe within the galleries of my mind.

I lied when I said to I felt no extremity within the realm
Of emotion - Yet with each thought an ocean I feel
As though I'm drowning in a sea of Sorrow, Engulfed below the tides of Woe.
The helmsman of sanity's sailing is shaken, awoken are his senses.
Constantly building his defences he'll always be late for the morning show.
Seek Persephone in procession with Harmony.
Arise a Rose, blooming as the Moon caress' the midnight sun.

The games we play, throughout the day
Doth sway my heart in swing.
With happy a heart alongside merry a cheer
