Wildfire
Fire, we fear flames seeking to obliterate
to cleanse forest and planes and the land
can grow again a new cycle begin.
There are flowers that only bloom after
a fire, got a name too, ephemerals can
cover mountainsides and hide ancient
ice-age painting in my beloved Peru
We are strangely attracted to to flames
wish they could rinse our sins
but we have great terror of hell's fire
We do dread the fire in humans heart
passion can be wonderful but also
ruinous and manifest itself as greed ...

Name-calling
We who live in the west
do not see Israel as a colonial power
the last one in the Middle East
As many colonialists before Israel
this unlawful occupation will end
and when the dust settles, a new
the state will appear we can do business
with and hold song contests
Israel is the last gasp of this white
colonial mentality
So far, more than forty thousand
Palestinians killed in this miasma
of evil intent, but no one calls
Israel is a terrorist state that must
be eradicated
While Hamas, who fight...

Where wickedness has taken hold
I'm in love with a ghost
Of the girl you used to be
The one that was destroyed
In one night of uneasy revelry
Flowered with glowing design
Enraptured gaze for all to behold
Now withered and dying
Left alone in the cold
Beauty that left us in awe
Soul reflecting gilded sun gold
But the sun froze and faded
As she begged "please, don't!"
Now the light is gone from her world
And the winds blow sharp and cold
When you have to live
Where wickedness has...

the new tyranny
The New Tyranny
I had this nagging headache and went to see
my doctor, his waiting room was full of humanity
with an assortment of illnesses
The table in the middle of the floor used to be
full of newspapers and magazines, it was nude and
didn't even covered with a tablecloth
there was silence, ten patients looking at their
mobile phones while waiting to be called
I walked home took an aspirin and went to
bed in the night it rained
At dawn, the rain trumpeted on the old tiles
I stayed in bed until the rain turned into a soft ...

Fix Me
Fix Me
I really can’t get mad at you
That’s something I can’t do
My anger lasts for seconds
Especially with you
I’m trying to be sane
Trying to fix my mental health
Trying to be who you want
I’m becoming someone else
I’ve lost my whole identity
I’ve lost the will to live
But I have to move on everyday
For me and for the kids
Give me a few days to deal
To process who I am
To realize my potential
I’m praying for a plan
I know we’re in a rocky place
I guess I feel it too ...

Cancer .
I realise that first lie cut deep way beyond a flesh wound. No entry or exit marks it just ricocheted from my head to my heart and stayed with a nauseous feelings of complete dismay . Cancer just walked in and I thought it’s going to take him away and I can’t do anything apart from words of encouragement and kindness and compassion and bucket loads of understanding.
You told me when I was eighteen years old in a very vulnerable situation as I had left my home and family behind after an incident that changed my life from the moment I walked out the door. Fear and loss and feeling...

Social Anxiety
I wasn’t made for crowds
I realize tonight
I’m in a bar
With open scars
And fear that grips me tight
The lively vibe should ease my mind
Should talk and interact
Instead I’m stuck inside my head
And don’t know how to act
Topics randomly pop up
Each person makes their comment
The urge to speak takes over
Followed by the urge to vomit
I look around the table
And I smile and I nod
I start to feel I don’t fit in
And now the urge to sob
I blink away the tears that come ...

Dizzying heights
I had sex with my dad's best friend for the first time.
He approached me and grabbed my cock.
I was totally shocked,so I pulled away.
My dizzying fear,as Imagined my dad,would come back from shopping and catch me and his best friend pounding away.
I was frozen.
He was moaning and groaning.
Calling out my name.
I tried to make him stop.
But his strength was too much.
When he finished he left shortly after.
When i grow up, I want to be an actor.

A Little Bit Less
A Little Bit Less
I wish I weighed a little bit less
Then maybe I would see
It doesn’t matter what I weigh
It really won’t change me
There’s a notion in my mind
It would cure all of my woes
But you wouldn’t love me less
And you wouldn’t love me more
I wish I was a little less sad
That the tears would one day stop
The depression that takes over me
It controls my mind, my thoughts
I’m done looking for a reason
I just welcome it upon me
I’m used to it, my dark cloud
It’s become...

Secrets
We all have our secrets
Regrets? Just a few
This tale’s of the horror
Of what secrets can do
About 30 years ago
It seems like yesterday
I had to keep a secret
Or my family’d go away
I know I was a kid then
I knew that it was wrong
I knew that keeping my mouth shut
Wouldn’t last for very long
Back then I was so naive
I believed so many lies
In time though I forgot
For me better and oh so wise
Their words now they just haunt me
So many lies I had to keep
