Invisible

-
Swathed in his cloak he wanders in silence
They cannot see him
 Incognito, he is hidden from the glare of their sight
Imagining the ease with which he passes right by them
No bullshit or traumas
And no bloodshot eyes.

Taking revenge on individual proponents
The flock is dispersed
Vengeance is his
The sheep without the herder
Are easily fleeced

Transparent unseen breathing with ease
No need to look forever behind
Each corner taken in the warren and classrooms
Threats disappear when you cannot be seen

The truth is they see him

They wait by the bus
Following behind they swear and they cuss
'Ho gay boy, hey poofter'
Who is your boyfriend?
They laugh as he crumbles
Tears from his eyes.

At home in the morning
Mother is caring
He masks all of the terror
There right behind his eyes
Quietly he slips out of his front-door
Determined to get there
But fearful and timid

Despite all of the nerves
The confusion, crouched demeanour
He wishes he could fight them
Right now
All at once

Invisibly fleeting
Throwing the blows
Punching with venom
Smashed, broken nose.

Unseen he's a hero
His family don't know
Teacher's oblivious
To his silent screams

The bullies they ruin
Confidence in children
Brutally squashing
Dreams with their ire


Humour they call it
'did you see him crying'

Uproarious, immature laughter
Adolescent, alien to reason
Torturous, uncaring
Chipping and wearing
His armour is broken
Happiness gone


Ideas of dying grasp at his soul
A walk in the woods
No way to turn
Sleeping and swinging
The boy has now gone
Bullied to death
Invisible

Torn,



AGL

Fight for your life.

The soft sand ridden muddy path Under my feet Is cushioned for me by sturdy black boots Sloppy, slick slimy navigating as every part of my leg plays a part in keeping me upright Sinews twist, the cramping ageing muscles uncomfortably held in kilter Heading for home Light retreats The ever arriving daily dusk clocks in I can't see the car quite yet. This place takes me away But only for a short time Drudgery Routine Work Though enjoyable Wears at one Through time, burdened by the worries of others Chinks appear, cracks of darkness on a golden life Wandering, watching  twigs may snap Wind blown pine trees sing in high pitched terror Birds dart Rabbits unseen? But for borrows Buzzards soar A red kite adorned a fence post Squirrels elusive Watching Just in case I might see one race by Even in the periphery of either eye A busy head is a safe head? Freedom from worries Eating and gnawing Snatching at anything that will offset these thoughts Let th

Physgill. Watch the swiftly feeding swallow Sun outside But not it in the hollows Of the shrubs and the greenery Fresh cut lawn Hydrangea, Rose Honeysuckle aroma The fields with the peas, A sea of swaying green Moves like an ocean The sound of the trees Moved and being shaken By the summertime breeze Cattle in the drive way Pheasants shouting loudly The deer are cautious Barn owls swoop in darkness Caught by car lights Badger scurried across the road Foxes rare The game keepers gun. A lamb down a tree trunk Discovered by Rosalind Pulled out by a farmer Care for injured falconry Rescued for love Of all that was around us The freedom The tranquility The sea and the solway Not too far away The Glen with her garlic Appetizing rambling Down to the shore Where pebbles and boulders You arrive at the bay. The cave has a host A man in a smock Ninian the monk Later canonised Who sat in meditation Considering faithfulness Sheltered from harm. C

Positivity explodes from every pore Despite my doubters This year I'll do much more More for others if I am able More for my family Food for our table. Be all Be everything Reach for the star's Grab opportunity When it comes along Don't be fearful of anything If you can't see it It's not there Resolutions are a misnomer Bound to fail unless Heroically striving You can drag your self from bed Failure makes you hurt inside Disappointment is the foe When February roles in Defeated You'll weep inside Lie low Avoid the gaze, the question's About The intentions you shared before So this year I'm not trying to change dramatically My aspirations will be tempered Measured in a way My mind is set to a default I've probably had before Self doubt is now the enemy Belief in me is raw Attraction Is the focus Bring it to myself Ignore the dampened shadows That have me running scared True to me and the possibility That wha
