A Toast for the Dark Times
Agenda in a time of fear: Be not afraid.
When things go wrong, do right.
Set out by the half-light of the seeker.
For the well-lit problem begins to heal.
Learn tropism toward the difficult.
We have not arrived to explain, but to sing.
Young idealism ripens into an ethical life.
Prune back regret to let faith grow.
When you hit rock bottom, dig farther down.
Grief is the seed of singing, shame the seed of song.
Keep seeing what you are not saying.
Plunder your reticence.
Songbird guards a twig, its only weapon a...

Fantasy
Tonight you'll be the sight in my dreams
like the one Wendy looks forward to
a star to the right
a place to fly
to discover and retain
that innocent self
To get lost in confusion
and get wiser without losing affection
let me take a peek
of Peter Pan's paradise
Come, be the guest of my slumber
And i do hope you'll be staying over
like the one Wendy looks forward to
a star to the right
a place to fly
to discover and retain
that innocent self
To get lost in confusion
and get wiser without losing affection
let me take a peek
of Peter Pan's paradise
Come, be the guest of my slumber
And i do hope you'll be staying over

One September Afternoon
While looking through a window onto trees,
In the glass I catch my own reflection.
Superimposed on everything I see
I become both language and inflection.
In margins on the page I play a game
Refining what I think I understand,
I cannot step outside this brutal frame
Although I try and act as though I can.
Art Pepper’s “There Won’t Be Another You”
Rewinds itself in circles round the flat,
I try to find myself a different view,
Lost notes collide, metaphors refract.
The mind defines the meaning that it...

Why??
I don't like goodbye.
We will meet again someday.
It may be a while.

I Missed Them All Today
I missed my wife today
while she had to be away.
Realised how lonely I’d be
if she wasn’t here with me.
Without her love and smile
life wouldn’t be worthwhile
I missed my wife today.
I missed my children today
seeing them happily at play.
Sunny days and ice creams
bedtime stories before dreams.
They’ve grown and moved on
now my little ones are gone.
I missed my children today.
I missed my father today
working Monday to Friday.
Taking us out on Saturday.
preaching in church on Sunday....
while she had to be away.
Realised how lonely I’d be
if she wasn’t here with me.
Without her love and smile
life wouldn’t be worthwhile
I missed my wife today.
I missed my children today
seeing them happily at play.
Sunny days and ice creams
bedtime stories before dreams.
They’ve grown and moved on
now my little ones are gone.
I missed my children today.
I missed my father today
working Monday to Friday.
Taking us out on Saturday.

Distance
If only I had of known.
At 10000 miles away.
I would have grown to see the beauty there.
Only a fool would stay so long.
But, it was for the people not the places or things
People, I needed, who needed me.
Not for the red cars or googles little bing.
For the one two or three people I call home.
My soulmates will always be there.
For now I can roam the streets.
Not knowing where I will end up
But knowing, I always have...

Commitments
Who deals the game, who draws the cards, you search your heart, you make your bet, the pot is yours
that’s commitment. You think, you act, you analyze and decide if commitment is a matter of convenience or a matter of conscience. If life goes on in a series of commitments then true freedom exists only in your mind. There you can wander, you can wish, you can explore and you can fantasize without fear of judgement. In this world fear of judgements is the enemy of commitment. We crave acceptance so we make commitments. Are those commitments ours or are they decided by the dealer of the...

Unknown
Sepia hair with golden streaks
coral eyes that reached the farthest seas
you were a innocent child
one with big dreams but lived in a small town
no one really knew your fate
not even you
you woke up each dawn and walked into the forest
you were never scared of dark shadows
you welcomed them because you escaped your reality
they gave you hugs and wiped your tears with their false promises
in return, you gave them your precious heart
you saw the sunshine in every heart
...

Hello
Roses are red,
Tulips are yellow.
I'm not a poet,
I'm just an average fellow.
I don't play guitar,
I don't play the cello.
I may not go far,
But I try to be mellow.
Words have no meaning,
If they don't come from within.
Dreams have no ceiling,
Unless born out of sin.
Let's play this game, and may you start,
To critique as you will.
And tear me apart,
As no longer i care or even feel.
I'm not here to be judged,
Just speak from my heart.
My words form like sludge, ...
