Backers & Barrackers
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 25 October 2009)
Credulous conspiracy
The sound swept away
Leaving a golden statue
The centre of epitome
Idolatory for tax purposes
A mansion and a chapel
A church and manse in reverse
Corpulent punctilious hegemony

Scaffold
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 23 October 2009)
The light shines on the
scaffolding of
conundrum
As the victims fall in
their various
ways
Amid a hushed silence
driven by
money
So integral to the interplay
of power and
submission

Monocontagion
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 20 October 2009)
A facile facade fading
Delivering unto death
A lifeless life
Monocontagion
Of a powerless elitism
Caged like a cut flower
Amid pangs for meaning
Marketed as favouritism
As firm as an Arctic thaw
And does the spin give rise to a second chance
Or crucifixtion at the self

Blessings
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 9 October 2009)
Moments in time
Make up a life
Blessings in disguise
Heartfelt desires
Smiles and tears
In company
In solitude
Sit back
Relax

Lifeforce
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 18 September 2009)
Hands above the future
He grasped the ether
Knowing that perfect being
Heaven ever present
Never denying
Sun radiant
With healing warmth
As though touched by the universe
Lifeforce
That plain ambience
Of dissipation into the whole

Dual Dynamism
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 5 September 2009)
The dual dynamism flowed
Dual dynamism despite drudgery
A dual dynamism pervades
One consuming, contentious
The other subsuming
From never an awe-struck position
They stand religiously
Clinging to a lost Eden
Though apples do keep the Doctor away
Still little is won on the periphery
So one moves with alacrity
Between two worlds
Softened by heart
To the needs of others
While satisfying self in so called ‘sin’
Woeful behaviour being up front
Telling it as it is
Seeking truth in competitive haste
Never knowing doubt
As well as you’re told to
Driven by ambition
Yours and theirs
Yours to keep sane
Theirs for the company
And warmth of desire
And in that dangerous place, solitude
Where all can be seen
Thought gives way to reason
And the heart hiccups into sensory delight
And wherewithal is found
From thence it came
The dual dynamism
Where all is second to none
And integration leaves you
At peace

From Youthful Days
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 1 & 4 September 2009)
Youth came in from youthful days
While ageing seems tied to sequential hardening
A decreasing range of sexuality
Where motivation is thought out daily
Yet experience says that mellow’s arriving
And the whole has almost gathered
So much so that there is an easing
Where externals give way to self deepening

Overcast
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 29 August 2009)
The overcast in life is free
It brings you joy eventually
If you can wait
Patiently
It’s neither here nor there
Your wanting spree
Dispersed among that qualifier
Learning
And your answers will come
With certainty
Either forcefully or in stillness
Listening
