POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
dreamy
the lonely
the jungle is sweating
and this heart is beating
as open pores expel
toxic love,
the warm light excels
the photosynthetic process
striving to be in routine
with life's cycle.
the canopy kindles this soul
as patterns of light and shadows
depict a tangible painting,
as the leaves sway to a silent sound
deepening wavelengths
pull this mind to the ground.
the jungle sleeps
as the night sky glows
stars combust to their death
billions of galaxies away
they shine on for an eternity
but their heat is felt,
and gradually...

come with me
tiger eyes in the jungle skies
treacherous tracks on steep land,
salty seas and waterfalls
wood
fire
cracking
and night stars
enchanting dwellings in the woods,
with green moss and fireflies,
soft and pleasant whispers
in the wind
sing
vanished is the unicorn
and fairy folk,
but still,
magic remains.
And this
I want to show you.

salty seas and waterfalls

Choices
choices spin in our biosphere,
craving to be captured
and gain momentum
in the depths of the cerebrum,
to embrace the preferred reality
making every breath, destined
to it's selected path.
will it be,
criminality? insanity? wealth or poverty?
life choices warn of their penalty
and still, in such ease
we slip
into
a place of no time
where memories inspire present thought
and the future sleeps with one eye opened.

winter's melancholy
barren tree's mark the winter's melancholy
and crushed leaves on the pavement design
abstractions in shapes and colours
to form dancing figures
that move to the quiet music
broadcasted by whispering winds.
the clouds engulf the sky,
as the moon lights the stage,
for the actors to take their place
and mimic fallen grace
in the dead of night
it's a delight,
to watch it all sequence itself
in silence.

mute
If I could just raise my head above the noise of destruction
to ease the toils of tension
I would marvel at astroids,the planets and their sun
while thoughts expand to embrace creation
to which nothingness has won
so lost in fragile comprehension
of this universe profound,
galaxies sparkle promised kin,
never to be found,
a solitary peace within
chants one and all is null
and the reverb in my skull
is decoded into a
sound of silence
In this silence, the destruction is mute.

Dreams
shade the light and colour the dark
and ignite a magical spark
for I'm enchanted
by your firelight
together we're majestic
so fuckin electric
higher than the tallest mountain
together we are a most colourful fountain
shade the light and colour the dark
for I fire a magical spark
and you're enchanted by my firelight
as we dance in dreams
we are the dust in the sun beams,
and as i wake from deep sleep,
Nothing is as it seems.

handwriting (draft)
its all rage sprawled out upon this digital page
with lies that lay behind the screen,
but paper does not lie,
it is honest and transparent,
a screen, screens our minds,
a digit sequence to replay thoughts and rewinds
as the characters appear black against white,
my long lost handwriting diminishes in spite.

star dust
success brings
smiles from the inside
and an inner peace to settle the star dust,
but power envelops all in a desired lust,
to surpass positive potential into rust
as so greed is its seed,
and vanity is it's plead.
power shall devour
but humble intentions
repay in the cycle
of the cosmic eternity
and
success brings
smiles from the inside to glow,
in peace with stardust.

Autumn Series 2
summoned by the full moon
these eyes diffuse the glare
while silhouettes of barren trees
design an interesting scape
of concrete and bark
contrasted against the dark
the translucent curtain's drape;
of orange lights and whirling fallen leaves
capture an unfulfilled longing stare
as lips delicately sing a forgotten tune,
of the calling of an autumn moon.

autumn series 1
golden leaves rustle
the soft sun and silent winds
play along in melancholy
colliding notions
ignite a fire in this damp soul
and the calibrating emotive thoughts
sync into motion
as the dance of shadows
upon the stark wall
design the form of a delicate
whisper.

coffee and Cheesecake
your house
always warm and loving
your smile magical and sweet
your laugh, medicine for the soul
and reggae resonates in memories of your dancing feet,
for one day we will again meet,
and greet with loving arms, playful chatter
and cheeky grins.
So now you have parted,
but you never really left
because your heart beats
within our souls forever more.
your house,
a haven for those in need
you loved with all your might and glory
your good deeds are a never ending story
you nursed,cured and mended those left...
