An opening in the fence
a dark night
a well panned escape across the moors
a lost child stumbles in the dark
a night as full of fish
as it is of sharks
every missing heart
Opened like a book
Another night of easy graces
and gracious ease
another opening
the heart sees in the darkness
and across the seas

help me im falling
Another opening

 Vanguard of the New Movement

Behind his polished cedar desk,
surrounded by his phones,
Sits Blazer Dyke(The yachting type),
The vanguard of the clones.
The Archetype,
The number one,The vanguard of the clones.

Crossing over busy street,
where noisy traffic drones,
Walks Blazer Dyke (without a bike),
The vanguard of the clones.
The autocrat,
The ectomorph,
The vanguard of the clones.

He strides across the cobbled yard,
Where pawn shops offer loans,
That Blazer Dyke (Whom i dislike),
The vanguard of the clones.
The cannibal,
The parasite,
The vanguard of the clones.

He passes through the wicket gate,
To churhyards full of bones,
That Blazer Dyke (on a midnight hike),
The vanguard of the clones.
The necrophile,
The narcissist,
The coprophage,
The sybarite,
The telepath,
The Anti-Christ,
The vanguard of the clones.

cryptic,and haunting poem my poetic friend,
much to read between the lines ...
seems to speak of being pulled in two
directions...
pulled back by the past and
tempted by the present ...
which offers a possible escape from the past ...
am i even close? (smile)
fear of falling ...fear of failing
very real fears for us all.
take care poet in the dark

 And it's good that I'm not angry,
I just need to get over,
I'm not angry, anymore
Cry when you cry,
run when you run,
love when you love,
represent the ashes
that you leave behind

God I have tread these water several times.
a great vision into the murky waters of the soul.

Joel.

 I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.
