Family Acceptance
The children’s choices triggered his stress-point -
that familiar Xiphoid chest-pain
though deep down he knew he was just as crazy …
and crazy from a different perspective
can mean ‘truly alive’.
His own most prized possession?
A 3-masted Xebec model ship-in-a-bottle -
and his hobby interest in old-cameras
using throwaway Xenon flashlight bulbs
was legendary in the church.
Not surprisingly his two offspring,
expensively educated at Xaverian College in Manchester,
insisted on unusual careers: his daughter
fanatically playing...

Kill or be killed
They say
The past is the past
I'm to leave it behind
But when the past is on repeat
How do you overcome?
There is no way around it
I'll RIDE through it!
I'm composed of:
Pain
Smiles
Past
Present
Highs
And lows
Like a great symphony goes!
As my future unfolds
I hold
Those painful threads
That keep me strong
I hold onto
Those joyful memories
That lift me up.
It only stings
As the needle
breaks the skin...

Self Flack Rhythm Attack
Blind Pain Rains So Insane
Drunk Like Water By The Brain
Entrained Still Yet Maintained
Mind Warped And Soul Stained
Can It Be The Crazy Is Just The Lazy
Consciousness When It Falls Hazy
All Just An Act Until They Then Taze Me
And This World Does Not Even Faze Me
I Am An Act Should I React Or Attack
What Do I Still Own And What Do I Lack
I Am Really There Do I Need To Go Back
Between The Worlds Door Uncracked
I Know I Feel I Unseal All That Is Real

Flux
In the rear view mirror I see myself asleep in the back,
the road trailing out behind me like the future in reverse,
littered with all the stuff I'm going to do.
The stuff I did this morning closest.
My final days just there on the horizon.
The rest of my days in between.
Ahead there's all I've ever done
and I'm condemned to relive it,
revisit each indiscretion,
mistake and
act of villainy.
A few moments of joy.
And the car I'm driving is the inside of my head.
The windscreen is my eyes.

labyrinth
the memory has many rooms
and many rooms have many doors
and many people come and go
and go and come through doors and rooms
and if each door should have its key
each key sat neatly in its lock
how many hands would turn those keys
to lock the doors of memory?
how many hands would take those keys
the keys to rooms with doors now locked
how many then would keep those keys
how many keys would then be lost?
the memory has many rooms
and many doors though some are locked
memory hides some things away

Summer's Gone
Did I ever tell you the story of how Summer and I broke up?
Well, here it is then...
So, when I woke up that cloudy morning, Summer's bags were packed.
I asked, "Where you going Summer?"
"I'm leaving you. I'm taking all my things too,
The Sun,
The Sunsets,
The Heat,
The long days,
All of it."
"I see." I replied. "But why?"
"I'm done here, I'm done with you!"
"But, I need you."
"Our time together has come to an end, I hope someday you will understand.
You've changed - I saw you...
Well, here it is then...

keep it moving
I dreamt of a rugged landscape
traversing it in my bared feet
sometimes they bled
so bruised they would throb
at others it was beautiful
and smooth
with sunsets & the moon
though I noticed as I walked
my footing only improved
if I maintained momentum
the ground around me crumbled
from time to time
as people & things dropped off the sides
some making a great deal of noise
others...
in absolute silence
and somehow I understood
trying to retrieve them meant
I too
would be

Perhaps
Perhaps it’s been
So long since
I’ve actually had
A close friend
Maybe I’m too forgiving
Because I let others
Hurt me
Time after time
Again and again
Perhaps I’m too nice
In some ways naive
Does that make me
A door mat?
For everyone to walk
On whenever they please
Maybe I should show
Courage and learn
How to say no
Put myself first for once
And learn to
Love myself more

Now Unfolding
I, alive, relishing in a craving to be
Yearning for this lifetime to come
Longing to seize what I've become
Infatuated by the acceptance I see
I, vital and animate, able to foresee
Breathing a life of eager continuity
Living a span of seasoned longevity
Seizing this flame, forever carefree
I, aware, learning to thrive and be free
Fancying an existence that now cares
Cherishing the delight my mind bears
Fond of the being I behold before me
Yearning for this lifetime to come
Longing to seize what I've become
Infatuated by the acceptance I see
I, vital and animate, able to foresee
Breathing a life of eager continuity
Living a span of seasoned longevity
Seizing this flame, forever carefree
I, aware, learning to thrive and be free
Fancying an existence that now cares
Cherishing the delight my mind bears
Fond of the being I behold before me
