Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry
about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Matt. 6:34 NIV
to live in your past
is to fall asleep
in the arms
of the shadows
of yesterday.
it may be your last,
if you stop to weep
for the charms
and the ados
long passed away.
a vain future life
is a dream unreal,
for the sun
cannot hallow
longed-after morns.
don’t lean on a knife:
it cannot unveil
what the guns
of tomorrow
might leave forlorn.

“Hey Mr. Snyder, my husband and I badly need to stay put in your apartment. If you’ll give us just another couple of months we’ll pay back our rent. In the meantime, I can do any kind of work you have. I bet your pad could use a woman’s touch. I can wash your clothes without losing a single sock. I can whip up red beans and rice followed by better than sex strawberry shortcake. Is your mouth watering yet? Do you need a seamstress? I’m your woman.”

Too Nice
Desires fixer-uppers
eschews the unbroken
Dire Straits
Rouge obsessed world
kindness be damned.
Topsy Turvy
Man greets 20 pedestrians,
facing charges
The End
Spoiler alert
love will destroy hate

Husband
Husbandry - 'management and conservation of resources.'
I was young when we met,
people said I was wise, I wasn't.
You, in your bottle green car, awful music taste beyond karaoke, you training for the Alps - half Adonis.
Just what I needed.
You were angry, as angry as me.
It worked.
You were hot for pain, as hot as me.
It worked.
A few months later, from your stoic nature came terms, terms of abandonment and loyalty.
You said
"If you hurt yourself, ever again, I'll leave. I can't cope with it. It hurts me."...

Seed the Wind
In a frivolous moment of fun
I gave a single seed to the wind -
watched it fly;
knew it would fall
willed it to grow wherever it could
Even a weed can yield flowers
that may find favour with a bee
picked to elicit stemmed smiles
Perhaps flourish by the wayside
until their bright splash
colours eyes on a day
that have seen only grey.

As Is
I may be missing a couple of buttons
My zipper might be missing some teeth
But my fabric is soft...and warm like a
sheath
I may not be flashy nor shiny and bright
Not even close to the latest
trend
But I’m comfortable and welcoming...like an
old
friend
My zipper might be missing some teeth
But my fabric is soft...and warm like a
sheath
I may not be flashy nor shiny and bright
Not even close to the latest

live like the sun
today is mine,
to laugh,
to love,
to live.
just like a vine,
i thrive
so i
might give
my finest wine
to heal
the ills
of life.
to make sublime
the ways
of war
and strife,
i toe the line
lest, when
my course
is run,
i should repine
empty,
lost, and
undone.
laugh at yourself;
love will
smile back
at you.
love someone else;
thus, to
yourself
be true.

the world

Take it easy
If you reading this
I pray
Whatever u hurting from
Whatever is constantly
stressing thee
Gets erased from mind yours
Thoughts dark, overthinking &
doubt
From ur mind exit henceforth
Let clarity replace confusion
U not defined by past yours
All yesterday is not u
Claim today by embracing self
Mistake you are not
Yourself forgive
Claim a new you, a new reality
Take it easy mate
Wake up and face a new day ...

Fatima Finds Hope
Fatima Finds Hope
Her family had scattered to the four winds after their village became a smoking ruin. So she wandered the desert in a daze. At the age of twenty when most are just starting off in life, she was a refugee. Finally, Fatima found herself more chaperoned than captured by the strangest soldier in an ISIS uniform. He opened the door for her as though he was a gentleman. He said, “Good afternoon. May I take you out for a bite to eat?” It was like he was escorting her on a date.
This was the most peculiar abduction she could imagine. It was...

After Rainy Day
Veil of words lay loosened
along the brew of breezy leaves,
As brilliant beams gleam
beneath
those seeming greens.
So, what is left to say
of these eyes?
All the tears we cried
dry in brittle wounds,
Bathing beauty in smiling-bright,
of shadowless
blooms.
And on broken roads,
between cracks grow flowers,
laughter... and
Something like mercy
shines
beneath these...
along the brew of breezy leaves,
As brilliant beams gleam
beneath
those seeming greens.
So, what is left to say
of these eyes?
All the tears we cried
dry in brittle wounds,
Bathing beauty in smiling-bright,
of shadowless
blooms.
And on broken roads,

laughter... and
Something like mercy

Identity
What does it mean to be human?
What is identity a word used to classify ourselves,
Setting us apart from other animals, and why
Have we been given intelligence to destroy?
The planet, and consciousness to do good when
The instinct is to terminate what is a bother
To our wellbeing.
Is a multi-ethnic approach useful for the identity?
We tend to gravitate towards the tribe we know
With people, we feel a kinship.
Is religion good for us?
but we invented it together
With the massacre of those who do...

The Land, Always The Land
He has come out with a stick
It is carved beech with a bone handle
Paua* eyes shine along its length
This is my neighbour
His frame is weak, racked
with arthritis and its friend,
pain
He calls across the valley
“Got your spuds in yet?’’
This is what it comes to:
He could talk on the wisdom
of protecting Hormuz,
or how to make money (and keep it);
could mention those who watch him struggle
But it comes back to the land
“Not yet – but soon,” I say.
He shuffles forward, the paua glinting
“Don’t leave it too...
