Empty.
Empty chair surrounded by such panoramic
beauty but you don’t see it . The steps to it are
insurmountable as grief is insidiously cunning and infiltrates with reminders of what was and not right beside you .
It has a viper like grip and you dangling from its jaws . It’s relentless in memories and it can’t allow you time out just to recollect your thoughts or peruse your surroundings.
It’s familiar but it’s not you feel old and tired to your bones trying to realise that you haven’t stopped breathing . It feels like it when you are cast out into the new and...

Faith looks Forward
There once was a woman
With a heart as pure as gold
She had beautiful eyes
A contagious laugh
And her smile was something to behold!
She went through life
Loving and naive
Fell in love with a man with tricks up his sleeve
He was drawn to her light
And to her pure energy
But in the end,
This “love” would be her undoing.
The man was void.
He could never have enough.
So she gave her all to him
In the name of love.
She couldn’t have known,
But she would never measure up, ...

2024
The year of twenty twenty-four is near
and with it comes a hope for better days.
A time to heal the wounds of yesteryear
and face the future in a brighter gaze
But what will be the challenges ahead?
What trials and tribulations will we face?
Will we be able to overcome the dread
that lingers from the past and leaves a trace?
In nineteen twenty-four, a year of change.
Two men of different fates and different lands:
One breathed his last, the other saw the light
one left a legacy, the other began his fight.
...
and with it comes a hope for better days.

For MJ, my Melody was once my Joy
I, am angry.
And you know,
not all of us have the iron skin of the three hundred spartans who stood against the persian hordes all alone all on their own.
While you laugh and smile alongside your comrades there are those of us who scream ourselves to sleep at night,
wondering when the next bottle of pills
The next dose of drugs,
The next hateful word
will be thrown at us with a veiled contempt only we seem to be condemned to see.
And the thoughts that follow make me angry,
angry with the world and it’s kaleidoscope of colours and...

reign overthrown
I watched the words
unexpectedly appear on my screen
barely surpressing an internal sigh
I really shouldn't be surprised
because after all...
I was the one who walked...
but never blocked
unnecessary...I thought
debating momentarily...
...should I even reply
in the end I did
just to see where it went
and quickly discovered something unforeseen
I knew him...
...he no longer knows me...

The Green Forest By The Ancient Dolmen
It's a windy morning, and i am on burning embers for a hike uphill; a pine perfume wafting with the breeze, An October wind has left a motion over the rocky hills,trees in waltzing enchantment under the magic spell of Pan's Flute,a few locusts,is what remained from a long Summer,
skipping among the stems, and the weeds, with a joy that harbingers a very cold winter.Carpe Diem in Nature s' spirit
The pine forest ends where an open wide space is strewn with Dolmen,the past megalithic stones that exhale a prehistoric breath over the rocky hill; ...

the healing word
The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to
the healing of the world.”―Marianne Williamson
tether not thou the tender tongue
that tempers tears and thorns,
when tyrant terrors thrust their throng
at you and blow their horns.
delimit not the lisping lips
that lave the limping loins
of him defeated by eclipse

Two Unlikely Friends
Death and Life met in passing...
Life said "I have a question that needs asking"...
"Ask" said Death...
"How do you do it, taking souls?"...
"I do not choose the day nor the hour.."
"Sadly I'm given this destructive power.."
"I'm but a bridge between heaven and hell.."
"To them all I say is", "I bid thee farewell.."
"I couldn't do it" said Life...
"I'd lose my glow"...
"Giving life is all I know"... ...

The Virgin Forest And the Wise Mind
The Virgin Forest And the Wise Mind
When Summer waves, i come into the sun, embrace her shine; and live within her blazing heat.When Summer comes, i open my hands wide to gather of the heat inside of me, and leave the cold to the next time to winter freeze.
It is a hush in the wild bush, as i come here every morning. Here is my shrine, my solace.Here is the place, i worship my own God, in my own ways, with my own quill; from the deep of my heart i can sense his omnipresence, feel his breath in every creature i see, even in the venomous snakes that slither into their holes, that...

Mother
I don't want to resent, nor live my life blaming you for any turmoil my character may cause in my now peaceful life. My frustrations, as they should, have come from things I have done, but also from things those who have loved me have done. You have to understand control is all one wishes to claim in this life, even though intemperance is inherent from the moment we open our eyes for the first time and fight the very air filling our lungs with a cry of pain. It is here in this forced existence that one would realize, if they could of course, that control is but an illusion. I have not had it...

The Ghost of You
talking to the ghost of you
in starlight underneath the moon
you're the needles' eye that I slip through
when I'm talking to the ghost of you
I'll never feel any better
if I don't accept that I'll always love you
I never see the man that died
was he just a lie?
you've always been sealed with pride
but I know there's an ocean inside you
when did we drift?
the answer to a question I'll never get
It makes me sick
I reach my fingers out to find an empty bed
I...

Flowers And Graves
Caws of dark crows fill the forest edge, above my head, they roam the wide sky, casting ominous screams into my innermost hearing like a nail, piercing my heart. and leaves a wide gap for the mind to ponder and fear the next to come..While The rocky hills send their Poetic Zephyr, awake a dormant wave of sad feelings.Taken into the hills and the pine forest, that lies beneath, i respond to natures' inner call, willingly following the beaten pathways, of shepherds and flocks, sometimes all along,i drift into Summer's musings, recalling the dead silence of the scorched evenings of glowworms...
