This is me
This is all I’ll ever be
This is truth
From the heart
I’ve been like this from the start
This is true
I just turned it into art
I just took my muses, used the tools of music, got into it, building up my Noah’s Ark
Taking lessons from the past
To depart
from the dark
that I come from, but I’m cut
On a shard
Of the glass
That my chin was made of, ha-fucking-ha
Guess the laughs
that were shared at my expense
Were a test, I couldn’t pass
As a youngen I would always feel I was the weaker part ...
This is all I’ll ever be
This is truth

I just turned it into art
I just took my muses, used the tools of music, got into it, building up my Noah’s Ark
Taking lessons from the past
To depart
from the dark
that I come from, but I’m cut
On a shard
Of the glass

to read and see
If love is blind,
Then the greatest love poems of all time,
are written in the braille of scars.

When Death Comes ( After Mary Oliver )
When death comes,
let them say I mastered
the anatomy of words,
that my life was poetry.
Let them say I humbled
that bulwark of ego –
that bane of pride,
leaving a quiet legacy.
Not with the flying colors
of a Rainbow lorikeet
capturing its beholder's eye;
but, a female cardinal –
her lackluster appearance
ensuring the nest survives.
Let them, despite my human
mistakes and many faults,
say I at least loved poetry –
that my...

Pools of poetry
My hand just holds the tool,
My soul supplies the fuel.
Emotions flow
With words in tow.
Will flames ignite this pool?
My soul supplies the fuel.
Emotions flow
With words in tow.
Will flames ignite this pool?

Rituel Poétique
It's how I spend them
these afternoons it seems
such poetic dreams
all alone with my self
Pink bean bag chair
lazy scrunchied ponytail
warm licorice tea
my sharpest graphite
A new tome of poems
cracked open
spilling out its
lyrical wonders
While I sit and whisper
each plump word
so its heard
by only me
Feverish pencil scratches
broad underlines
then quicksilver dashes
a constellation of stars
these afternoons it seems
such poetic dreams
all alone with my self
Pink bean bag chair
lazy scrunchied ponytail
warm licorice tea
my sharpest graphite
A new tome of poems
cracked open
spilling out its
lyrical wonders
While I sit and whisper
each plump word
so its heard
by only me
Feverish pencil scratches
broad underlines
then quicksilver dashes
a constellation of stars

Love on, you lost angel
Nobody knows who we are,
no matter how close or how far.
Dream on, you lost angel.
Build upon whatever love you do have
because this love may not last.
Love on, you lonely angel.
We'll dwell in the darkness
of tomorrows dimming dreams and
sail on this time wave.
Come on, you gods and goddesses,
you lovers and givers,
come on you bringers of peace and communion and dream!
no matter how close or how far.
Dream on, you lost angel.
Build upon whatever love you do have
because this love may not last.
Love on, you lonely angel.
We'll dwell in the darkness
of tomorrows dimming dreams and
sail on this time wave.
Come on, you gods and goddesses,
you lovers and givers,
come on you bringers of peace and communion and dream!

our lives are strangely our own
no, we can't trade places,
there's no where you can run or hide;
our lives are strangely ours to own,
so it doesn't matter where we go,
we're stuck on this side.
perceptions ours to change or keep;
we look down at our hands,
what a vivid experience this is,
i often wonder if this is a dream,
maybe we're one eternal being
deep asleep, holding on dearly
to a reality that never had to be,
yet will always
be our own.

On Haikus (theory & practice)
THEORY
Fitting seventeen
syllables, five-seven-five,
in three lines is diffic hard.
PRACTICE
The Bounty
Captain walks the plank.
Mutineers wonder: what next?
Pitcairn Island waits.

Writing
Thoughts of you
Filling my head
Fuelling my passion
Length in my hand
Feeling it’s weight
Gripping firm
I start teasing
My movements slow
As I start
Motion builds
As my excitement grows
At what I do
Hand moving faster
And faster
Frantic in need
Eyes almost closed
Lips parted
As the moment comes
My final release
My satisfaction
My completed art
I take in the sight
Of all this ink
That scrawls my page.
Filling my head

Dream on, you lost primates
Remember when we were infants?
Have we grown any since then?
Dream on, you wondering primate.
Now there's a look on our faces,
we don't know how
to fill the empty spaces.
Dream on, you lost primates.
We got caught in the middle
of development and extinction,
trapped in the time wave.
Come on you creatures
caught in this chaos,
come on you loner, you angel,
you GOD and dream!
We tried to control to much,
we're getting out of touch.
Dream on, you wandering primate. ...

When your mind ...

Maybe because ... They've BROKEN ... !!!
The CARDINAL Rule ...
of Being ... YOU ...
NO MATTER What ...
