[calumdown]

tangled hair

a must for wind to muddle
tangled carelessly
words that mumble sometimes stumble
from lips that dwindle dreams

dancing orbs peered grey and white
from beneath chiselled brow
and preyed upon ever-moving landscape
with dull caution

all in this
whilst night came day
souls passed and hailed the way
placing guiding lights to plateau sky

and deepening splendour
streamed and fell in ornament to the universe
it gushed
and seized the form with might

the protector of night
foreseeing all things
deemed it so

monolith to solitude

so it would seem
magnificent and done to sky
forged for always

at first slowly
the seasons waned
movement unchained by wind's decay
loosed a portion of tanglehead

it fell to earth
and lay
with the majesty of an abbeyed ruin

jackdaw settled
and took the sight of he
proclaiming the right to another's eyes

in pursuit came zephyr
to touch and fell the anatomy grey
and scatter like dust
the stones that lay

a triumph in silence
a treasure unknown

monolith to solitude
so it would seem
a triumph in silence
forged for always

Its not my thing but a very good friend of mine is a world famous poet and has wrote loads of books.
I was walking through town with him a few years back and a woman approached him, she was all giddy and asked for his autograph.
I found it hilarious and weird as I had no idea he was so well know in the poetry world. Although his OBE was a bit of a clue..
