POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Moments of the day that take me on my way.
What if..
What if under these starlit scenes...
She left the chains?
What if, she left her familiar hold
And wrapped her hand on mine
What if under the masks of flushed nights...
She were to stand as in my dreams
What if the gifted wishes of falling stars
Really mean this time is ours..
What if, what if, all along
The place was mine to move my hand and find..
She left the chains?
What if, she left her familiar hold
And wrapped her hand on mine
What if under the masks of flushed nights...
She were to stand as in my dreams
What if the gifted wishes of falling stars
Really mean this time is ours..
What if, what if, all along
The place was mine to move my hand and find..

The wrap of night...
In the deepening hold of shadows fold
The chase of day has given way
At last we greet the rest of night
To lay upon the time of sleep we meet
Our weft off arms and twine of fingers
Loose their hold on lingering threads
The shreads of fraught thoughts
Set to last rights in the trickle of nightly whispers and their tickle
We give life to the quarry of dreams we seek
And share comfort in the embrace
The kiss of warmth and thought
The presence of the heart
That we find waiting in the wrap of night to wind.
The chase of day has given way
At last we greet the rest of night
To lay upon the time of sleep we meet
Our weft off arms and twine of fingers
Loose their hold on lingering threads
The shreads of fraught thoughts
Set to last rights in the trickle of nightly whispers and their tickle
We give life to the quarry of dreams we seek
And share comfort in the embrace
The kiss of warmth and thought
The presence of the heart
That we find waiting in the wrap of night to wind.

Truth to mill
The last of the final harvest
It's grain as yet unmilled
Standing in the thrashing hall
It's thoughts lay partially spilled
Amongst the last of spent husks
The fragments of shattered stalks
They listen to the rushed winds talk
Through the vented walls barrage
Of autumn storms and winter days
As I face the malaise of final thought
In longer setting days now brought
I set the of stone once more to turn
And from the spin of labour spill
The last weight of flour and truth to mill.
It's grain as yet unmilled
Standing in the thrashing hall
It's thoughts lay partially spilled
Amongst the last of spent husks
The fragments of shattered stalks
They listen to the rushed winds talk
Through the vented walls barrage
Of autumn storms and winter days
As I face the malaise of final thought
In longer setting days now brought
I set the of stone once more to turn
And from the spin of labour spill
The last weight of flour and truth to mill.

Persistence
Instinct beats it's defiance
Against the violence of silence
The brought thrashing of thought
Pacing its binds of indentured conjecture
Races a heart to tear the traces of it's viens
By the prescense of abscense and the hold of it's lands
It falls to the sands
A wrought form of exhaustion
Caught in the hands of memory
And the salve of their finds
That what is to be
Is the persistence of time.
Against the violence of silence

Pacing its binds of indentured conjecture
Races a heart to tear the traces of it's viens

It falls to the sands
A wrought form of exhaustion
Caught in the hands of memory
And the salve of their finds
That what is to be

Sustenance..
It's at moments like this, I feed my hands the endless bounds of chores
To cast the winds by the motions of labour
To raise the clouds and their reign of thought
It gives purpose to the passage and meaning of time
It seems to me that it's a question of faith
Faith that in abscenses, anxieties will be subdued
Faith that in concern, curiosity will return
Faith that in distraction, right action will strengthen
For me faith that the night bares a star
Is no different to the faith
That what I hold dear, is near
I have faith that whatever life...
To cast the winds by the motions of labour
To raise the clouds and their reign of thought

Faith that in abscenses, anxieties will be subdued
Faith that in concern, curiosity will return
Faith that in distraction, right action will strengthen
For me faith that the night bares a star
Is no different to the faith
That what I hold dear, is near
I have faith that whatever life...

The Kiss
I lean back into the abyss
The grasp of nothingness
And all that exists...
Is everything in time
There is nothing amiss
In the breadth of ness
Nothing awry in the bout of breaths
Within closed eyes and the intrusion of wonder and it's why's
Everything is as it is
For the reason that it is
The continuence of motion
The resolution of action
Is the persistence of this
The define of our line
The passage and kiss of time
The grasp of nothingness
And all that exists...
Is everything in time
There is nothing amiss
In the breadth of ness
Nothing awry in the bout of breaths
Within closed eyes and the intrusion of wonder and it's why's
Everything is as it is
For the reason that it is
The continuence of motion
The resolution of action
Is the persistence of this
The define of our line
The passage and kiss of time

Critical
In every meaningful work of hand
The God given expression of mind
In every rapturous emotion
The moment alive
In every birth witnessed
The death passed
A composition of song
Balance and time
In every beat of the moment
Adrift in its depth
The here and the now
The necessity of breath.
The God given expression of mind
In every rapturous emotion
The moment alive
In every birth witnessed
The death passed
A composition of song
Balance and time
In every beat of the moment
Adrift in its depth
The here and the now
The necessity of breath.

Raptures release
I am ravenous as I set to quench hungers fill
Upon the bottomless well of ink
The myriad of clustered threads
Are spun like spiders webs
Across the mines of minds
A perpetual clematis of creeping scenes
Breaking flowers in all the seems
It’s heart stands as the lone Wellingtonia
A giant above the shrouds of trees
The defiance of time will be as a mist
To evaporate with the kiss of light
And burn under the eyes of suns
Flayed, running across the broken red skies of dawn
To rain upon mountain ranges
Brokered with the rising...
Upon the bottomless well of ink
The myriad of clustered threads
Are spun like spiders webs
Across the mines of minds
A perpetual clematis of creeping scenes
Breaking flowers in all the seems
It’s heart stands as the lone Wellingtonia
A giant above the shrouds of trees
The defiance of time will be as a mist
To evaporate with the kiss of light
And burn under the eyes of suns
Flayed, running across the broken red skies of dawn
To rain upon mountain ranges
Brokered with the rising...
