Never Ending

/ mikesnexus / Leave a comment 
day dons

nights cloak

becomes

the turncoat



unfurling

across the land

advancing

relentlessly



without end

devouring all

within its dark maw



victory is short lived

light returns

...

but for how long

Closer

/ mikesnexus / 2 Comments 
closer to edge

everyday now

any day now

it draws nigh



into the void

how far

how high

dare we go beyond

the realm



dare to dream

possibilities exist

its there

within our grasp



… closer and closer every day …

Our Mortal Coil

/ mikesnexus / Leave a comment 
this life

this mortal coil

to be or to live

shedding this toil

just how long is the life

we choose to live

close your eyes and dream

if you dare



gaze through the window

what looks back

in the stain-glass

an image

a reflection

or

nothingness



look beyond the window

into the distance

at our own possibilities

over the horizon

beyond the veil

a probable future

awaits
........

tear that veil

Ode to My Beloved

/ mikesnexus / 2 Comments 
you lift me up

and set me down

with you

life is rich

without you

its not life



this life

an another

can we expect more

stars are raining down

as your hair

brushes the sky



close your eyes

and dream

if you dare

this life

and then the next

….

into the sunset

Answers in the Wind

/ mikesnexus / Leave a comment 
it's all just

blowing in the wind

when cowls fly

and doves scrape the sky

angry white horses

relentlessly throw themselves

against the sand



time is like mist

sweeping over the mountains

swirling ….

to and fro

its all a daze

as shadows become real

and

…..

questions are answered

when the wind blows

Responsibility Abdicated

/ mikesnexus / Leave a comment 
easy is the hand

that holds the gun steady 

as you pull the trigger



bloody is the hand

guided by the steady hand

on the hilt



uneasy lie the tablets

as calm hands

hold the water jug



its not murder

its not death

just doing my job



not my doing

not my responsibility

just following orders

not even gods will



nuremberg defence

is no defence at all

use your conscience

and object

Blurred Lines

/ mikesnexus / Leave a comment 
truth at the flip of a coin

heads or tails

you still lose

do not adjust your set

even if it is

out of focus



blurred lines

merging into a gray morass

indecipherable enigma's

everything

and next to nothing

reality is transformed



fact becomes fiction

life becomes reality

alternate is the new the norm

art is no more

drink and feast

for tomorrow you die

Over the Horizon

/ mikesnexus / Leave a comment 
what lies over the horizon

what is at the end of the road

a light?

an escape?

a void?



a sigh

of relief

or an expectation

overcome with emotion



weak at the knees

weak

must be strong

stand tall



breath deep

savour the end

the light rapidly advances

emerging into

….....
