POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Inlak'esh in these dark times be the light my friend its all a game we play after all,
Empty Nest
This delicate duality we find ourselves in
can no longer be ignored.
Continual signs pushing me
out of my prison cell towards you,
I no longer have a car
or car licence..
I could weep at this situation,
finding my self trapped
melt down
crucify my self on the needle ,
binge drinking brain cells into oblivion
Burning super nova bright one last time..
or looking forward, turn my plight
into a beautiful driving force,
that final push I need
I will always call Australia home,
but in returning to my ancestral home
I...
can no longer be ignored.

Incomplete Lullaby
how my heart quickens
thinking of our future
I am so love sick for you,
your husky voice
haunts my thoughts..
always pushing me
towards better things
chase me my darling
across time and space
I want you in my arms
right now, forever and ever
If I was but a bird
I would fly into your heart
tonight, now why wait
I am doing everything in my power
to be with you
but alas I have no power
over the bureaucratic red tape
As the lightening dances across the sky
I pleaded with the 'gods', old and new
if this...

A Rose To Seer
It has been written,
our endearing legacy
to this world
how so far apart
we found something
that happens but once a life time
If my heart had wings,
an owl would knock thrice
on your window sill
For all those lessons
that you inspire to teach,
to that question I so often hear
How do you know so much, in such short a time.
Seems you have never found someone before
who had such a grasp on what you see
That perhaps I am not as crazy as I seem
The magical depth of your mind
forever keeps me, guessing...

The Long Kiss Goodnight
The music ,
along with the distraction
of dishes and washing to be hung
provide me little solace
during these hours apart
my heart aches
trying to jump
from holes burning in my stomach
I know how it is for you
when I say
One more song
play for me again
one last time
trying to prolong
this, procrastinating
enough to hear your voice
just a little longer
Goodbye, eventually gets said
the hardest words for me to say
go for those few hours
but we both know we must sleep
I am selfish though
for I...

Wayfarers ( mikimoondancer, Carpe_Noctem collab)
Under a blanket of stars, moon overhead
where we first danced
where you first said ,I love you
Where you always say, until the next sunrise
I know this is goodbye,
but...
the way my dreams reflect in your eyes
and my fears become extinct when we hold hands
the way you gently get me through each night
it hurts to be anywhere, except by your side
I'm whole with you in my life
complete with your arms around me
you point me towards greatness
no-one's shown me faith like this
until you
I'm someone only you can see
you've taught me...

To Experience This
When the music hits
I like to close my eyes
Travel to the place they sing about
Here I find you, soul of my soul
Yesterday, 'Jerry' played as we 'Rippled' as one
Oh my love, to see our souls dance
Under a blanket of stars
I like to close my eyes
Travel to the place they sing about
Here I find you, soul of my soul
Yesterday, 'Jerry' played as we 'Rippled' as one
Oh my love, to see our souls dance
Under a blanket of stars

The Next Chapter
This chapter of my life
fast closing,
my future chapters are unwritten
but I am a seer-so-to-speak
I see two paths that I may choose,
this is the big 'IT' for me.
That, stay in 'Australia' and die a nothing
or...
take a gamble and fly to you.
Never before in my life
have I been so sure of something,
before I lacked direction
I was just a helpless leaf in the breeze
Now my heart guides me
soul of my soul calls out to me,
even if this was not true love
the kind that 'Hollywood' make into a movie,
I know in the...

Who Cried First
I feel sick to my stomach,
pushing food around my plate
the talk at the dinner table,
background noise
something I mostly ignore
Besides I don't feel like it
dumb it down to their level
Round up is bad, no good you see
nah round up has been tested ok for pets
I bite my tongue
but really thought
Monsanto what a bunch of evil fucks
you can't say things like that here
people look at you, with that
you crazy conspiracy theorist
I duck outside, waiting for coffee and cake
such a lovely day, I find charcoal in my hand...

To Ignore This Would Be A Crime
Never thought I would feel like this
Just a lost soul, alone in a fish bowl, year after year
My heart sung, through time and space, calling, calling..
I feared my heart had withered, all emotionally dried up
A spark..from some mysterious stranger, a kind word was all
This is something new, I think I like you
Feelings once strange and distant, one thought lost
Slowly at first, but how can I deny..I feel good
Never before has someone so captivated me
What ever spell she cast, it worked
No one before you has had such power over me
From talking on...

Cry Freedom
We are nothing more than numbers
on a fucking ledger sheet
Pawns in a sick game of chess
played by the global elite
Well check it mate
I'm the pawn that crossed the chess board
My eyes are open
the truth is, it's all in your head
Governments don't give a fuck
about us, population control
on a global scale
I refuse to die a slave
wake up
It goes a 1. 2. 3.
Sick of the hypocritical bullshit
of stolen freedom and lost liberties
No longer do we swallow your lies
The time is fast approaching ...

Confessionals ( the needle and the damage done)
Now, I have been pretty honest about my drug use with my parents.
Told them I supported a weekend eccie habit by playing poker, god those days where fun, go to the cas win four-five hundred bucka look out weekend.
Pretty evident by now I am a HUGE stoner, but to set the record straight that is a flower.
Back on drugs, my logic behind telling my parents was..say I partied a little hard, pushed the envelope so to say, at least if I died it would not be that big a shock to them, being a black sheep and all I thought only fair.
I remember one night after being out all...

Yearnings On The 545 Express
Invited into your dreams..
dance with me maestro,
beneath a blanket of stars.
I stand here awake,
you and I are but one
in my minds eye..
Our lips, firmly pressed
locked in a deep embrace..
gazing deeply into eyes
reflecting back such warmth.
This dull bus ride does not compare,
here in this reality I am but alone.
Perfect time then...close my eyes
drifting off back to you,
like an ocean vessel drifts
towards its destination,
carried gently
by the sea breeze.
Tender my touch, tracing circles
around...
dance with me maestro,
beneath a blanket of stars.
I stand here awake,
you and I are but one
in my minds eye..
Our lips, firmly pressed
locked in a deep embrace..
gazing deeply into eyes
reflecting back such warmth.

Perfect time then...close my eyes
drifting off back to you,
like an ocean vessel drifts
