New Years Eve
Times keep flowing without knowing that in a few more hours it will have devoured another year, shedding a tear for the ones who aren't here to bring in the year with a cheer one of lifes mishaps that perhaps is something good one day maybe ill be able to say that I understood the reasons behind lifes doings for now I have to continue pursuing the meaning to this turbulent life glad to be alive another day just something that I felt I needed to say, what a year this has been filled with its ups and downs that are guaranteed to come back around in the year that follows I see it as another chance to get a new perspective on this demented life which ferments the most beautiful things out of the agony that it stings into all of us thats something we can all share, true happiness is achieved once your are able to find it inside it doesn't reside in material objects nope it rejects those feeling in a day or two that kind of happiness is never true, I can finally say that ive walked down the aisle with my diploma making my parents smile finally done out an about into society trying to figure out what to do with my time aside from writing rhymes pick a profession so I won't fall a victim to the recession gotta stay one step ahead so these bills don't overflow my head, crossed a lot of things of my list made plenty of new friends, got plenty of laughs from the years trends picked up a couple of habits while I tried to lay some to rest, but its a bit hard at times trying to progress when the problems constantly linger an infest another year to do right an resist the temptation from becoming the destination to go when I simply just don't know it doesnt judge right from wrong it eases my mind with each toke takes me away as I let out the smoke brings a feeling of hope ive learned to cope I've picked up the pen to ease my mind when I feel confined an feel the need to define the fucked up thoughts that go through my mind sad to say that plenty of friends headed the opposite way in a whole different direction this year was far from being anywhere near perfection it was pretty memorable though plenty of memories were made they will always remain storing them somewhere throughout my brain hopefully this year to come will be just as great the next year at this exact time this will be the great debate if I'm still here if not oh well I guess at least I had fun this year

Burying my burdon at midnight
Velvet ropes
Decended as the curtains closed in on you
Then the cage doors went down
The Marquis suffocated your selfish self
The gates were then locked
We were all urged away
As the dinomite was set alight;
To wish you away
Goodbye my enemies,
Goodbye my Scars
2010 was bliss; compared to you and curse
2011 you nearly killed me
And the greatest love ofwhich I found
Now as they watch you die
I'll be sleeping like a baby
Didn't care to count you down
We'll all go silent in this city
As we turn a blind eye
And we bid you farewell
You wont catch us speaking of you
As if you were forgotten
As if we could forget you
God knows that we all want to
But I'm burying my burdon at midnight..

A Gum(ful) Year End
you coalesced
into my timeline
in the last hour
of an over-brimmed
year
gentle eyes that
melted away the details
of your hard face
a fellow nomad
freezing, weathering this
blizzard
that edges us closer
to the scaffold -
life
a Precious moment
shared by two
souls that had wandered
continents to meet, celebrate
with man-made Stars
pray they guide the twelfth
newborn of this millenia
smoothly to replace the old
the scent of tobacco engulfed
this drunken mirth spiked
with remnants of burnt wood,
we stand deafened to the noise brewed by
the first cries, laughter and songs -
the departed’s adieus
to make space for the new
to make space
for revived hopes
strengthened wills
dreams more vivid
even if it were for
a few spirit doused spells
where the world seems
less heavy, less bleak
where a simple act as sharing gum
just for a magical second -
appears more bountiful
filling us both with a touch of
ecstasy.

Three hundred and sixty five days
Flow like waters through specified ways
Thesame game
Thesame play
Dreams dreamt
Dreams unreached
Physically poor
Mentally rich
As I sit in blissful peace
In the last night of the year
I look back
Behind my back
Is the troubles of the struggle
But life itself is a gift
So Im convinced
Im still here for a reason
As I match into the new year
My focus never shift

Bonfire .
The end of twenty–eleven
was upon us.
Craig and I
sat in the bush,
on the farm
we had a truck-load
of wood,
he'd been collecting
all year.
Craig,
lit our fire
it started to burn.
We added logs
with each new log -
bigger
stronger
hotter
amber
flames-grew-and-glowed.
their movement, rapid.
I was only into my
second whisky.
Staring into
the blue-flame-haze
massaged my mind
into a trance-like-state.
I wondered…
if a fire gets hot enough
to liquefy the sand
beneath it?
I wondered…
if Jessica
will start talking
in the next month
or two?
The tenth hour arrived,
clouds gathered quickly
thunder-roared-loudly.
The-Highveld-static
developed into
a pyrotechnical
electric-storm.
I was in awe
of what the universe
sends with rain.
We sat staring
at lightning
at fire
at our dreams
at our realities
at our
vivid-imaginations.
We discussed possible
plumbing systems
above the clouds
it would need
24 inch galvanized pipe
32 inch shower roses
and electric ball valves.
The storm stopped.
We were soaked
our fire was
almost redundant
but we had
savoured every minute.
Predictably,
the skies
lit up with
cheap-Chinese-fire-crackers
that BANG.
The human race
was attempting to compete
with their own
Gods.
Need I tell you, who won?
Or do you have the image
of the first
twenty-twelve
thunderstorm
at twelve-twenty,
in the morning
nestled in the forefront
of your mind?

Authors Note:
Reference to "Highveld" is a part of South Africa, where the farm is.
The area is renowned for it's spectacular lightning & thunder storms.
