Contradiction mocks
the pseudo-sage.
No charlatan
this clown-chameleon,
subject to his nature
compelled to seek his way.

Spirits of nature
they reach far beyond
human understanding
Perhaps they smile at the arrogance
of the brilliant ones

Bemusement
Seems odd
to hear crying from the periphery
when in actuality
the voice
put itself there
in the first place

I'm so close to not going
My mind in overdrive
imagining the worst
Phantoms of fear in my ear
Help....

Here I sit
on a Saturday night
Sounds of males singing
in the street below
Cannot see, blinds are closed

Road block
It was more symbolic
on the periphery
beyond the din
of song and jester
we are here
we are coming next

Stumbling block
I don't know what to believe
You haven't hidden it
Done it in full view
Next step is?

All the while dreaming
scheming for better times
Of simpler dawns
floating with the tide
The ocean mist
whispered goodbye

she steps naked
in front of the window
back to the street
palms appear
on the window
oh-oh, a crack!

There is silence there now
they took her down
smashed her freedom with words
put her behind bars
It's ended

If only hearts could talk
The lies we'd know
These would destroy us all
I'm sorry to who Id hurt

She'd been naughty
He threatened to take her behind the woodshed
She smiled,
Grabbed his hand
Took the first step

Woodshed sounds romantic
with flowers around it
scents of roses in the air
lullaby for the pair
she loves it

Not shortlisted
It really wasn't that good
But you hope
You're wrong
Determination sets in
Next time it'll be different
