If Only
I want to write a poem,some prose,
some words
that enter your heart
which is really your mind.
I want you to read those words
and weep with me for our collective suffering.
to smell the cordite in Gaza
and witness the broken homes and bodies in the Ukraine
To taste the suffering of those huddled in some dreary, cold alcove in your own country.
I want you to read my words and know our shared human experience.
Their suffering is not just theirs
It's yours,it's mine,it's our planets.
I'd love to write words so ...

Pour out your emotions with writing
Pour out your Emotions with Writing,
Is what you really should do,
When you are feeling down and out,
When you are feeling so, so blue.
Pour out your emotions with writing,
When you can't seem to figure it out,
When you really just don't have a clue, and
You are going through fears and doubts.
Pour out your emotions with writing,
When you have done all that you can,
When you don't have the slightest idea,
Through these trials, you continue to stand.
Even when you're feeling so down,
When your feel life is...

A home always with me
I realized this evening
That wherever I will live
Wherever I will go
Whatever I will do
I have a home always with me
This home is my body
And when I just sit and let thoughts and feelings come and go
Then increasingly I feel at home inside myself
In the physical feelings
And the very fulfilling practice of doing nothing at all
They say all of the problems of man
Come from him or her not being able to be
Alone in a room with his thoughts for 30 minutes
But consequently
If you train yourself to...

I CONFESS
I
know I have been
lax in some expressions
but as I am on
the stand in the court of love.
I gladly and freely
CONFESS
that I love you with
all my being.
I CONFESS
there is nothing,
no nothing that
will change or
stop my love for YOU.
I CONFESS
I love YOU more and
more as each tick
of the clock passes.
AND
guess what?
There's nothing you
can do about it.

No Ordinary Daisy
The daisy lay tattered
Among blades of grass taller than she
Her petals wilted and worn
Seemingly destroyed
Yet, she lay as if placed gently
The sun, perplexed
Gazed upon the daisy
Her stem curled
Her petals worn thin, nearly translucent
A few plucked from her body
Lay scattered nearby
The grass, imprinted with tiny hollows
Snaked away from the tiny daisy
The sun, with a full schedule
Had to get on with the business of illuminating the world
She made mental note to keep...

a small bank
A small bank
When I visit my bank, which is a small rural one
the bank lady who warns me not to overspend
and my wife meets I go for a coffee across
the road, they are both from Congo and have
a lot to talk about
The business in the bank is done, forenoon
the prize of pig feed and grain harvest, and so on
When I am alone, I like to come early
and enjoy the concerned people with no dramatic political
meaning other than survival
the real people's experience that contextualized
not democratic that those who invest in ...

Tumor
The Tumor
Last night, I watched a podcast
the man with the highest measured IQ
and I was pleasantly surprised
He looked and acted like a sane bloke
his views were an echo in my mind
best of all, he was like me, working-class
but had read the classics
his laughter was infectious
two hours well spent
His idea of God was how I think of God
there is good and evil in the world by
those who do not believe in the law of
nature and think they can ignore what
is fundamentally true
I woke up early following the thoughts...

Cha
I love my morning cuppa
It's always tea, no milk, no sugar
Always hot
It pulls me back to reality
Out of the morning fog
Fog so thick I can barely see life
But there it is a lovely cup of tea
Or magic, or whatever
Fogs lifting I can see now
Another shitty day in paradise begins
With me and a cup of tea.
N.B ....never coffee.

Growth
That winter was such a captivating cold.
Behold the blankness of the world.
The weight of peace
silently thrashes and swirls.
My heart sheds it's stone.
After an eternity of being alone.
Stark white globs of snow.
Form an amazing assault
on flaunting trees below.
A treacherous path faces my determination.
A mix of frenzied fear and energized elation.
What lies ahead is caressed by clouds.
Softer become my raging doubts.
The right path is often the hardest.
A test.
And with grace and growth we are...
Behold the blankness of the world.

Water Puddles
Water puddles from a heavy rain
Gray clouds above as they calmly remain,
The air is fresh, the temp is so cool,
No signs of sunshine or skies of blue
The Rain is Pouring from the clouds of gray
Splashing all over, what a Rainy day,
So, wear your Rain gear, coats and rubbers,
Please try to stay dry and avoid water puddles
B.R.

Just Listen
Don’t Speak!” “Just Listen!”
Listen to the Sounds that are Around You,
Listen to the Wind that Blows through the Trees,
Listen to the Buzzing of the Bees,
Listen to the Chirping of the Birds,
Listen to the Speaking of these Words.
Did you take the time out to Just Listen?
Listen to the Singing of the Chorus,
Listen to the Wild Animals in the Forrest,
Listen to All the Voices of Chatter,
Listen to the Rambling Noise of Clatter.
Did you take the time out to Just Listen?
Listen to the Wind...
