The Sanctum of Sanity

Wednesday, 15 October 2014. A Sonnet to Sanity. This season of the rout of reason. Ripens the toxic fruits of faith,. Infecting guileless children with a love of death. Blood stains the hands of zealots. And prompts the lips of leaders to deny the truth. As they try to dissipate our fears with lies. What are the hopes, of those who value death? Where are their smiles? Where their laughter, or their joy. To soften the embrace. Of death’s cold love for all our brief imaginings. 169;James Rainsford 2014.

Tuesday, 27 August 2013. Without work, weeks wobble. Leisure leaks from weekends. Of Sunday’s soporific hours. So, when you ask. 8220;What day is it today? I struggle to recall. The shape of days,. The contour of the hour,. The power of Friday to excite. Siren call to work. Days become as one,. No tasks to give them form,. And each one born anew. With absolutely nothing,. We must absolutely do. 169; James Rainsford 2013. Kind regards to all, James. 27 August 2013 at 19:11. Isnt that what we call freedom?

Monday, 19 August 2013. If you must come, as come you must,. Don’t come in winter and awake. The fat cat dozing by the fire. And don’t appear in fertile spring. When birds begin to sing of love. Above new shoots of verdant grass. Summer’s not the time to call. And is the least good time of all,. When nights are light, and loved ones. Bright with hope, can’t cope with death. Autumn might just be OK,. Unless I’m feeling fine and well. Then it would be capricious. And suspicious if you call. They used to sa...

Wednesday, 5 March 2014. There’s only now. There’s only ever, now. Lines can linger long upon. The printed page,. Where rage exhausts itself,. Down centuries of change. Promising a life remembered. Or, a future,. Where we transcend time. Tempting us to live a half-imagined past,. Or dwell among uncertain dreams. Of futures filled with desperate hope. Now is where we live. There is only now. There is only ever, now. Now is all that ever was,. All that is,. And all which shall become. 5 March 2014 at 17:37.

Wednesday, 1 January 2014. A Sonnet for 2014. New hour, new day, New Year. Dawning to the howl of wind. Waking to the wails and tales. Of the newly dispossessed. Arriving where religion rules,. With victim’s severed limbs. Flicking switches to extinguish. Lives much worthier than theirs. So, welcome to the coming year. Where fear will stifle truth. And youthful eyes, still full of ‘whys’. Continue to cry tears of blood. 169; James Rainsford 2014. Tab below if you'd like to express a view. If you wish you...

Tuesday, 30 July 2013. There are no birds,. Reach their final view. Once moved with gestures. Touched by dreams,. Claw the winding shroud. With talons of despair. Where the time has gone,. No closer to the truth,. Yet having known the. 169; James Rainsford 2013. Note to readers: Posted to Open Link Night at Diverse Poets. I'll respond to all who visit here and leave a comment.

http://thesanctumofsanity.blogspot.com/2013/10/fundamentalism-freedoms-such-fragile.html
Tuesday, 1 October 2013. Freedom’s such a fragile gift,. Bought dearly with copious blood. Of guileless youth, too young by far. The irredeemable finality of death. It’s tragic when we know so much,. Can access with an on-screen touch. The truth of how we came to be. Yet, neither you, nor me, or anybody else,. Knows how to counter the insanity. Of the fundamental wish to subjugate us all. How may we strive to win. This crazy contest for control? Born from religion’s dread desire. To dominate the world.
