Watching Waiting and Thinking (Five Short Poems Comp)
(i) Random
Waiting for the train
Watching random passers-by
Thinking no clean shoes
(ii) Tall Grass
Waiting for growth
Watching the tall grass growing
Thinking I should mow
(iii) Paint
Waiting but ready
Watching the first coat paint drying
Thinking, wrong colour
(iv) Bubbles
Waiting for the kettle
Watching for boiling bubbles
Thinking takes too long
(v) Scared
Waiting for a text
Watching my I-phone, then Ding!
Thinking scared to look
Waiting for the train
Watching random passers-by
Thinking no clean shoes
(ii) Tall Grass
Waiting for growth
Watching the tall grass growing
Thinking I should mow
(iii) Paint
Waiting but ready
Watching the first coat paint drying
Thinking, wrong colour
(iv) Bubbles
Waiting for the kettle
Watching for boiling bubbles
Thinking takes too long
(v) Scared
Waiting for a text
Watching my I-phone, then Ding!
Thinking scared to look

if death came over
me
i have no regrets
bliss
i have
had more than
perhaps what one could say
my fair share
if death came over
me
i would tell her
let's do this
as my last moment
with my muse
lasted much more
than a life time
perhaps dear end
you missed
the moment that
obliterated
the void
the void that was
much worse
than your infinite blank
black
.

sleapless in Cascais
Sleepless in Cascais
It was a strange night
Couldn’t sleep thoughts and images
Kept churning around and I was
Horrifyingly awake.
This is pointless, got up and drank
Several glasses of water, my brain
Was talking to me and I had no answer.
To distract myself I watched TV, till
Four in the morning slept like a baby
Until noon, the past is a bleak territory.
It was a strange night
Couldn’t sleep thoughts and images
Kept churning around and I was
Horrifyingly awake.
This is pointless, got up and drank
Several glasses of water, my brain
Was talking to me and I had no answer.
To distract myself I watched TV, till
Four in the morning slept like a baby
Until noon, the past is a bleak territory.

What We Need Is Here (Found Within)
The land in the eye is clear
not clouded, like the
numerical sum of its parts
Here, in the ancient waters
free of tallied reasons,
free in the mind's vastness.
Fearing not the infinite,
Heaven within The Earth
hides in a hill, unremarkable;
Faith appears above
as a bird, flying
into a sky which closes
Around it hiding reasons
to try for that which it needs.
It's abandon, it finds,
is hidden but everywhere,
embedded in everything.
.....

Truth is Music
Seek the truth in music’s arms
honesty that will evolve
adapting to the greatest need
to dispel the strident lies
that sum of chords expressed throughout
speaks veracity to the heart
even while the gross deceit
is expressed without concern
for the lost among the crowd
desiring comfort in their resolve
to escape from chains of angst
attached in realms of silent rage
against the palette of the world
wishing for sincerity
starved for blessings in the void
now fulfilled by music’s charm.

Guardian Angel
Someone watches over me.
So within I love thee.
While together and everywhwere.
All my life is ours to share.
So within I love thee.
While together and everywhwere.
All my life is ours to share.

A LIFE BLESSING
Here we are upon another day upon this place we call MOTHER EARTH as we wake up as we rise to OPEN OUR EYES to see and breath the air that gives us our lives in this thing we call LIFE but yet somewhere or some place, someone didn't get that chance to be thankful to see another day of life for we all sometimes don't realize how bless we truly are in life till you have no ability to live life as you once known it as life.

Breathe (2)
breathe...deep within the atmosphere
we live, we love what we hold dear -
breathe...within our dreams as they unfold
both when young and too when old -
breathe...every morning when we rise
the air is clear, so too the skies -
breathe...thoughts flow by on torrents born
from our egos they are torn -
breathe...sensations whirl as feelings spin
a constant motion deep within -
breathe...we become both sour and sweet
through what we drink and what we eat -
breathe...with all the beings of the Earth
we share it all...

Tears
Have you ever just sat and cried for no reason
Just broke down just by listening to a song playing in the radio
Or started crying when your child crys out because you yelled at them
Tears have many definitions and so many meanings
We cry when we are happy with thoses over joyed happy tears
They come when we are angry when we are fighting with tears of frustration
Sometimes we laugh so hard we end up with tears streaming down our faces
Then there are the tears of hurt and pain that we can not hide
Tears have so many meanings and sometime we can not...

My Child's Eyes
In My Child's Eyes I am his hero and I am his Favorite
He doesn't see the bags under my eyes
He doesn't understand why I'm working to jobs
He doesn't understand that I work my ass off for him and his daddy
In My Child's Eyes I am superwoman and I am beautiful
He crys when I go and squeals when I come home to him
He gives me a hug and a kiss every morning and every night
Even some kisses and hugs in between
He waits for me to read his bedtime story and snuggles against my chest
In My Child's Eyes I am the keeper of Cheerios and...
