Mother’s Loss

Posted on 27/09/201627/05/2017 by john keast

There really was no one. Except a visitor. She stood before her, lowered her head to look into her eyes the way women do, and pulled her in. She was embracing loss; a lonely woman with red eyes who wondered how her love, given freely as a mother had not been returned. So her silver…

The Far Corner

Posted on 26/09/201627/05/2017 by john keast

Today she wore blue, an old cardigan, the buttonholes at odds. She tried to smile; creases of pain – the loss at the corners of her mouth. Broken promises, too etched deep. She looked away. Then down. She always sits there. In blue. Her smile is not a smile. It is sadness pulled up. It…

in your pocket your words always few and well-used something deep in your pocket you took out and showed us putting them back again in a closed hand down into that darkness wearing thin the coming light that one afternoon smashed in your eyes just when you have a measure of what you’re up against…

Blue Moon

Posted on 23/09/201623/09/2016 by Greg.O

Oh blue moon I see you so bright, as your colour reflects brightly upon the water in the night. I see pigs flying south across the northern sea, it makes me curious what this could all be. As i see you pull the tide, so much of a surprise to see what is inside. Oh…

The Fall Of Man

Posted on 22/09/201622/09/2016 by Greg.O

Can you taste the world, it burns festering inside of me. Can you love at all, hating everything that it will always be. They control the evil ones in those positions poisoning the society. I thought it was me that was breaking to see right down the broken hearted machines. If I had known the…
