BATMAN'S WINGMAN, ROBIN CALLING!

“I sent him out half an hour ago for worms and he's still not back!”, says Robin ; 0)))

 

Using a little humour to lift my mood. Writing a little poetry for catharsis.

 

Connections ... (between my poems and pictures, music and quotes) … sometimes they may appear tenuous and inexplicable, but within the beauty of my mind they are inextricably linked.

 

People … I am very sensitive. I feel things deeply. Things that others may easily to be able to dismiss, may bring me down. I feel no need to explain or apologise for something that just is. I am just as God made me, but all things have consequences ...

 

Friends … those people who embrace me as I am and always bring the sun to my door. Thank you! <3

INJOY – SOL SEPPY

 

I waited all day for the rain

the clouds hung heavily in the dark grey sky

I clung dreamily to my romantic reverie

and as the rain fell I let out a wistful sigh

my patience was rewarded

I did not wait in vain

the pitter-patter; spitting; lashing

on the skylight window pane

I pushed the Velux blind right up

and viewed the strange and eerie light

watched the big fat tear-shaped droplets

give themselves up without a fight

this melancholy mood of mine

this big black dog of Hemingway

I fight it hard to no avail

the beast will have me anyway

so I relax and settle down

upon the antique inherited settle

pick at the broderie anglaise

that lifts and crinkles and tests my mettle

idly my fingers trace the carvings

created in another land

the story that my uncle told me

so that I might understand

now he is gone and I am here

sitting on green faded velvet

the wonky leg that broke when I

stood on it; hung Christmas lights and felt it

give suddenly beneath my feet

I landed awkwardly

twisted my ankle and thought I broke it

but nothing at all showed up on the x-ray

all these thoughts and feelings crowd me

surround me and increase my mood

I want to sleep; my mind needs calming

it runs at speed; perhaps some food

to comfort me; to nourish me

to fill this bottomless void inside

then perhaps I'll drift and slumber

escape reality; I need to hide

the rain is slowing; the wind is rising

the noise they make is ever-changing

I love the wind; I love the rain

I love the shadows and the shining

some say it is a gift of mine

given to me after my childhood drowning

but sometimes it feels more like a curse

I try to laugh; my head is pounding

how can a name written on a page

affect my way of thinking so

I feel the sadness without reason

the déjà vu …

ditto ...

the echo

L E T T I N G G O …

blood-letting

go

will I fade into insignificance

or into mellow yellow …
