The feast of St, George

Never to recant his faith in the Lord.
Advanced, gifted with the sword.

Soldier of the Christ. Fought courageously
in belief.
compelled evil to hell as angels roared
in raw relief.

Onwards to the realm.
Converging from afar with Godly squall
and brush of helm.

Under his pennon they forge.
Chanting 'Jerusalem'
for the feast of St, George.

I will cry

I will cry,
until my tears
overflow the rivers
and become lost
to the seas.

I will cry,
until the deserts thirst
is quenched
and raindrops drip life
onto the barren.

I will cry,
until the angels 
pluck a melody
onto my poetic chords 
and carry me home to rest.

Alone, I cry
and like the frozen sea 
I struggle to know 
the reasons why.

Flames of promises

She's left much more behind
than a single blonde hair
on my pillow.
Inspiration oozing,
like rain overflowing
the leaves of a willow. 

Feelings unchained as her
absence is felt.
Flames of promises 
ignited from a kiss.
This night everything what's 
known about her,
I miss.

Red apple treat

Like the addict there's a craving, 
appetite for the need.
Fantasies thriving, 
irritation for greed.

Summon a resistant, 
so stunning too weak.
Redolence, sweet,
oh to taste the 
red apple treat. 

Call on divinity, 
interrogate the same faith,
inside demand, so unsafe.

Whirlwinds, wisp a whisper,
of a needing inducing sin, 
ferocious, the conflict within.  

Remembering

Feels like I've been here so long.
So I strain to think back,
to when things weren't so wrong.

But all I see is my hands 
cuffed in a sweatbox. 
So I strive even harder,
trying to forget about locks. 

No! I'm in a cold court cell
and like a scared snail,
I retreat alone into my shell.

Still thinking. endeavouring to remember. 
All I can see is a man in a wig,
dictating my future, how I am going to live.

'Stand up! Sit down!'
Fixed on thinking 
It's causing me to frown.

And then, I remember!
the girls! the beach! the sun!
back in the days when it was fun.

Attempting to stay in this memory,
until this time has past.
Getting there, can't come too fast.
