a dying sun

It’s rooted too deep
It’s too much lost sleep
To sink beneath the surface,
can’t concentrate; no focus
No prospect of reprieve,
just gazing out to sea
just gazing out to sea
With vows of aid you healed
With vows of love you bound
With vows of peace, convinced
Only purity
Assured of family
Assured of fulfillment
Only faith to prove
A saviour guaranteed
It's too hard to breathe
It's too late to leave
but fade in isolation
benign incarceration
no prospect of relief
infected refugees
just waving helplessly
Only faith to prove
Only faith to prove
Trust in the sea to cleanse
Wading in, holding hands
last hint of warmth in the wind, a dying sun
a glance behind, the urge to carry on
Scrambling feet torn from the sand
fight to hold. desperate fingers, grasping hands
too numb to grip, relinquish to the tide, to fate
there’s no redemption here, abandoned rocks, no-one waits
Choke on relentless waves,
bitter with salt.

Instinct

The world you once wanted to save
is now the world you need to shrink
Past glories on repeat
drudge to fine-tune machines
Of no consequence, too minute
to grasp a problem small enough.
At least one worthy of your time
Lick the tasteless lard off your lips
shaking hands grasp the pills
Instinct melts away
No place for truth and honesty,
processed thoughts for the better
Instinct leaks away
No rage to subside, placid,
buried in wet soil - 6 foot thick
Your reactions: sugar glazed
The cushioned blow - sarcastic
Instinct melts away,
processed thoughts for the better
Instinct leaks away
