Universal Seed
Universal Seed
From black sky
A white eye
Fell
Into its arid womb
Scorching a tunnel to its centre
Its light-seed glowing in gloom
And from its heart
Nature grew
To the tattoo of the Universe’s call
Man, animal and ubiquitous desire
All risen from the fall
Then the created created
Compelled to make the world anew
Panning art from the mundane
They bound its complexities in small brains
To better comprehend
From whence they came
But the music stopped before the dance
And the light dimmed to dark.
The seed in the midst
Of our fruit withered into
A winter emptiness
That sucked all art inside
Its final extinguished twinkle a wink
Of blissful and eternal sleep.

You've got to Start Somewhere…
Hi everyone. This is my first blog, so I apologise for any clumsiness. I'm going to use my blog primarily to get my work 'out there', as it were, and any feed back would be much appreciated. With that in mind, here's a very short poem, which I was tasked to write in my creative writing course yesterday. It's still floating round my head a bit, and may undergo some changes before next week, but at the moment I feel pretty good about it. As I said, any opinions would be welcome, whatever they may be. On that note:
The Chant
A word
Plunging, into the sea
Of swirls and patterns secluded in the deep
Roaring waves that tremble on ripples’ shoulders
A primordial, universal catechism
