morph'd into a promise of light
it's this time
the cracking of dawn
one foot in darkness
the other,
soon, a step into light
being of two realms
bridging another cold night
morphing into a hopeful warmth
feeling tendrils of sunshine
wanting to upturn
the corners of my mouth
the night still clings,
barely-
but still there
gossamer like gooseflesh
spreads over skin of alabaster fair
coffee in hand
smelling the sun's want of command
breathing in my mantra
exhaling out all of my sin
corners glow, now in lit...
the cracking of dawn
one foot in darkness
the other,
soon, a step into light

the night still clings,
barely-

gossamer like gooseflesh
spreads over skin of alabaster fair

Warming rays
Warming rays
The poet laying staring at the Sun, it's warming rays across his face, a Rose appears in his minds eye, his heart begins to race
For it's not a simple Rose, it's beauty's beyond compare, elegant, soft and glistening, a Rose that is so rare
Petals of the softest Velvet, so tender to the touch, it holds the sweetest nectar, the Bees want it so much
Deep hidden within its folds, lays the most delicate shapely bud, the colour of deepest Crimson, as dark as passions blood
This Rose came from a garden, once strangled up with...

As Life Steals Into Mine
It all seems so unreal to me now,
a hazy distant mist
the visions of the future
the yearnings of the past
So young I feel, but so old I have become
The dream – it fades, as Life steals into mine
Hope is just a fantasy,
retained from childhood play
Tomorrow’s fields grew greener grass
The wind whispered hints of things to come
So old I’ll too soon be, so young I’d like to stay
A dream I need to grow inside, as Life steals into mine
Truth is all just relative,
or so they like to say
What works for me...
a hazy distant mist
the visions of the future
the yearnings of the past
So young I feel, but so old I have become
The dream – it fades, as Life steals into mine
Hope is just a fantasy,
retained from childhood play
Tomorrow’s fields grew greener grass
The wind whispered hints of things to come
So old I’ll too soon be, so young I’d like to stay
A dream I need to grow inside, as Life steals into mine
Truth is all just relative,
or so they like to say
What works for me...

"Fatso"
I hate myself for being FAT!!!
I want to stab myself in the stomach repeatedly!
My Soul is trim as is my heart
It's just that Mother nature defeated me.
I'm honest kind and caring
My integrity is intact
You'll be hard pushed to find a more loving man
But hurtful words about me have an impact.
If I could slice away at my flesh
If I could only melt away all my fat
I'd gladly take in my hand a hot knife
And keep on slicing til my stomach was flat.
I feel ashamed cos it's my worst self hate
When people tell me to...

You know you left a shine.
I wonder about, so many things in life
Like a hunger to a never ending slice
With every new day, comes perspective
Break away from the thoughts of collective
In each and every person lies a story
To ourselves we teach on how we journey
Never did someone fail to achieve when trying
As long as you believe, there is no defying
People suffer greatly behind our built walls
So we just keep building until a day it falls
We live in a place that’s deeply conflicted
Age, gender and race equally are all affected
...

Our love story
You are my love story,
and I write you into everything I do,
everything I see,
everything I touch and
everything I dream,
you are the words that fill my pages
with my desires
with my hopes
with my love
nothing will fulfil me until
we
are
together
at
last.

A Muse, a Rose, the same
A Muse, a Rose the same
From out of nowhere inspiration strikes deep inside my brain, it's all i seem to think about and now my lifes not quite the same
From a simple interaction, or something you have said, sparks off a poem, that grows inside my head
So with Quill in hand, from in my heart, my stanzas start to flow, I can see you in them but I need to let you know
But how can I be so very sure, so plain for you
to see, that you are my secret muse, it's you that inspires me
Can I put in a secret code, that only my muse would...

Hearing the whispers
and hisses of a dreadful day
Without a word to say
Only the voices of winds howling "look how they sway, sway"...
Puddles It ruddles it will stay...
Never will it go away...
Rain is coming...
But thunder is sounding
the house it is rumbling and pounding
The dark skies runway in black and grey
SHHHH.....
"They are aiming my way".....
No need to wait, for It won't delay
We are in June, no longer in May...
Windows taps and claps...
Sounds of water splats as it feels like it...
and hisses of a dreadful day
Without a word to say
Only the voices of winds howling "look how they sway, sway"...
Puddles It ruddles it will stay...
Never will it go away...
Rain is coming...
But thunder is sounding
the house it is rumbling and pounding
The dark skies runway in black and grey
SHHHH.....
"They are aiming my way".....
No need to wait, for It won't delay
We are in June, no longer in May...
Windows taps and claps...
Sounds of water splats as it feels like it...

Hope In All Its Glory
I have guessed Hope to be
similar to a fragile emotion
the effect Hope has on humans
is hard to explain...even harder
to understand...to understand
Hope you must experience Hope
you must see how Hope works
in its place...when Hope is all
someone has left...the true value
of Hope to a human being then
would be hard to know
similar to a fragile emotion
the effect Hope has on humans
is hard to explain...even harder
to understand...to understand
Hope you must experience Hope
you must see how Hope works
in its place...when Hope is all
someone has left...the true value
of Hope to a human being then
would be hard to know

cheers.
Darkly sparse rhetoric
whistling through smoke
here we are together
here we've come alone
Silently drinking songs
of dissonance and hope
our bellies are empty
but our hearts are full
We raise our glasses to
the absurdity of truth
we may be tired but
we are tried and true
With dirt on our hands
and a conscience clean
our sins are many
but still we sing
whistling through smoke
here we are together
here we've come alone
Silently drinking songs
of dissonance and hope
our bellies are empty
but our hearts are full
We raise our glasses to
the absurdity of truth
we may be tired but
we are tried and true
With dirt on our hands
and a conscience clean
our sins are many
but still we sing

Floating homeward
Darkness fell over her
Like gray liquid night
Her mind was not her own
Rest easy sweet child
Float homeward into the loam
No more pain
No more sadness
No more searching
For that lost happiness
You've taken your place
With the angels
Amongst the sparkling stars
Like gray liquid night
Her mind was not her own
Rest easy sweet child
Float homeward into the loam
No more pain
No more sadness
No more searching
For that lost happiness
You've taken your place
With the angels
Amongst the sparkling stars
