Into My Mind
This mind of mine drives me to madness
Sitting in class fidgeting, fidgeting eraser spinning
Trying to concentrate whilst my mind is wondering.
I am a ‘Space Cadet’ endlessly daydreaming;
Fighting and searching for mental stimulation
To capture my mind and focus my attention.
This is a battle I rage every second day and night
Invisible to you, who think my inattentiveness is caused by carelessness.
Inattentive I am, that much is true, but careless I am not.
To write this I have tried harder than you.
See, the focus that comes naturally to ...

If I Left
If I left
This world
Would I be missed
Was my footprint
Ever felt
The doubts of life
Have been echoes
Whispers
That have exposed
Mu frailties
If the thread snapped
Would my fall
Be seen
It’s hard to notice
A drip in the ocean
The kiss goodbye
A lonely shadow
On cold grey walls
The broken smile
That covers all sins
I have tried
To erase the emptiness
Filled it
With useless emotions
That were never me
Questioning my own...

The Wise Guy
My date asked me...did i
ever go to school any
i told her...oh yeah honey i have
been going to school a long time
I've got 2 or 3 Masters degrees
from the schools I've went too
i know a whole lot of other stuff
i have learned here and there
i even know several tricks
i caught on to as time went by
i catch on to things pretty quick
honey you ain't never gonna see
a better educated man than me
you may not think i am wise
i just about know it all
ever go to school any
i told her...oh yeah honey i have
been going to school a long time
I've got 2 or 3 Masters degrees
from the schools I've went too
i know a whole lot of other stuff
i have learned here and there

Rockhollow in July
In the height of early evening you call, from beyond the stairs, beyond the kitchen door,
soldiers of purple and white waging war against my hiding, singing
the long song of Summer, as a gentle breeze drifts predictably in waves from the left.
I contemplate the last few nights, the utter delight of hearing a Tawny and then a mate calling back,
in the day being greeted by yet another artichoke's vibrant tufted hair,
and beaches on beaches I've been escaping to, because I couldn't face here,
in its steady perfection, acknowledging I created this...
