Coloured By A Different Light

The colours are different,
Through different seasons,
Through different eyes,
For different reasons,
Coloured by a different light.

Our demands are different,
As are our needs,
As are our wants,
As are our greeds,
Coloured by a different light.

Shadows shade the changes
As the sun changes position;
Each minute is now
Focused from a new direction,
Coloured by a different light.

The world grows old, designed, restyled.
Upon the day, within the hour,
A newborn child,
The bloom of a flower,
Coloured by a different light.

The truth, misplaced, abused.
The whole damn muddle contradicts;
A soul confused,
But the pattern fits,
Coloured by a different light.

The circle points the way;
Learning to conceive, perceive, understand;
Accepting the shadows, realise change;
Reaching in reflection for want of a hand,
Coloured by a different light.

THE FALLEN FLOWER

The fallen flower,
Trodden in death, to death,
Beneath the heavy rubber tread.
The power of the flower dead.

The clumsy footed man,
Lumbered on thick legs, bow legs,
Carrying the gnarled twisted torso.
This man shall fall also.

The Power of the Flower

 

Arguably, poetry had withered away and all the would-be poets have become singer songwriters or just lyricists. The few die-hards who remained steadfastly loyal to the age-old graft of crafting a poem would, I have no doubt, condemn me for uttering such blasphemy, but whereas the poet was once celebrated by a society that placed the master wordsmiths on high pedastals, nowadays poetry is practiced by a few who gather in dark corners and twitch with the tics of the misunderstood artist. They were so misunderstood in fact, the audience had dispersed leaving just a few lice infested tramps who actually were sleeping off their last binge on the meths bottle and, unknown to the aspiring poets, they were left to recite to each other in whispering madness... But now, of course, poetry is experiencing a small rennaissance and, as I am particularly fickle and vain, I thought I might hitch a short ride on the back of this poetry wave and spreadforth my own seeds of inspired thought...
