For a Jade That Sparkles
Those words that bring up feelings of nostalgia for a place
I have never been to before. Those words that I always trace
With my fingers. With my eyes closed they bring familiarity
And warmness that washes over me like the crystal clarity
Of summer ocean waves. It is like I am right there with you
Experiencing every laugh and every smile. Even the accrue
Of tears are fading away. I find my way back home as we
Are not meant to stay in the past for too long. We fully see
The way we paint and sculpt pictures with the stroke of our
Pens like a painter...

A Crow That Flies
He writes with glossy, feathered pen,
Self-critic, humor, erotic.
He’s got all the Deep’s hens and wrens
Twitterpated, spell-bound; he’s hypnotic.
There’s others who can do the same,
But that’s a clueless point of view, fickle.
I’ll never concur such a claim,
No other writes with a pen that tickles.
( for my dear Crowfly friend )

I have accepted myself
I have accepted that I can fail
I have accepted I can lose
I have accepted that people will be cruel
I have accepted life will not always be beautiful
I have accepted the reality of living in an unfair world
I have accepted myself
I am shorter than average
I am fatter than average
I will never be rich
I will never get married
I will never have kids
I have accepted all of this
I do not expect a miracle or to live my childhood dreams
I know there will be no Hollywood movies starring me
I will not be a model in...

Can't Put a Price on Kindness
Speaking words of encouragement
help to alleviate discouragement
this gives the soul some nourishment
and can make a friend more permanent
Lifting someone spirit intentionally
might build their confidence eventually
building up their faith exponentially
wanting to do it more, potentially
A kind word spoken out of sincerity
can help to bring a mind some clarity
and if it's done with regularity
might help to build solidarity
Kindness is a form of generosity
when given breaks down our animosity ...

Absent Without Pay
Sorry, I was distracted by the windfall of hog plums and did not realise the time
Spent on, wasted on, the observance of the beautiful shape of spots on my lover’s
Face; so now I am full of fruit and grace, antihelmithic and adoration, both supine
And upright, depending on where you are coming from; never mind, whatevs,
I am here, aren’t I, and nobody died while I was away, congratulations, my dears!

WET DREAM (visual poetry)
I'm out in my yard, an observer mime,
I'm lucky, others don't see what I see.
For though a rainbow is nature's wet dream,
I see a sign of hope, of destiny;
Being at the right place at the right time.
I'm lucky, others don't see what I see.
For though a rainbow is nature's wet dream,
I see a sign of hope, of destiny;
Being at the right place at the right time.

The Shepherd was depression
For too long I was a sheep to the wrong Shepherd
The Shepherd issued insults and orders like commandments
Followed like a mindless sheep
Penned in a field with a flock of drifters and misfits
Respected the Shepherd since I was a little lamb
Held the lies I was told to be the Gospel truth
Allowed myself to be used as manure to grow the Shepherds roses
The Shepherd kept the flowers but left me the thorns to make a crown with
Carried denial and self-hatred around like a crucifix
The Shepherd taught me to hurt myself
I whipped myself ...

Magic Carpet Ride
I want you to come
I want you to come
I want you to come
with me
on a magic carpet ride
a celestial journey
we can rise into the skies
and journey to the Moon
we can fly to Jupiter
once we are in tune
synchronize our breathing
vibrate mystically
let go of who we think we are
so that we can be
on a magic carpet ride
a celestial journey
I want you to come
I want you to come
I want you to come
with me
I want you to come
I want you to come
with me
on a magic carpet ride
a celestial journey
we can rise into the skies
and journey to the Moon
we can fly to Jupiter
once we are in tune
synchronize our breathing
vibrate mystically
let go of who we think we are
so that we can be
on a magic carpet ride
a celestial journey
I want you to come
I want you to come
I want you to come
with me

Connection
Our hands travel across memories,
Experiences and emotions.
Tentative at first, then faster, deeper. We both bleed the same shade of red, it tickles down from wounds, past and present,
Mingling as one.
To tear down defences and pull off masks,
At last.
We are layed bare.
We collide, sensitive and raw,
Whittled down to our nerves.
Closer together then when bodies join,
But that too, a part of the connection we share.
Breathing in sync, acutely aware of pain, longing and ostracisation we have shared.
These things have carved...
Experiences and emotions.
Tentative at first, then faster, deeper. We both bleed the same shade of red, it tickles down from wounds, past and present,
Mingling as one.
To tear down defences and pull off masks,
At last.
We are layed bare.
We collide, sensitive and raw,
Whittled down to our nerves.
Closer together then when bodies join,
But that too, a part of the connection we share.
Breathing in sync, acutely aware of pain, longing and ostracisation we have shared.

Dancing In The Countryside
I was trying to dance to a song by Britney Spears
But I tripped and fell on a leaf of prickly pears
I was hurt to the point of shedding tears
And thought to myself maybe I needed a new set of rears
But I tripped and fell on a leaf of prickly pears
I was hurt to the point of shedding tears
And thought to myself maybe I needed a new set of rears

Somewhere Else
up and down we ride the waves
rolling in the sea
all around and too below
wet liquidity
looking up the sky is blue
no clouds anywhere
skin exposed to the heat
shimmering in the air
we have drifted far away
from the sight of land
now alone far from home
I don't understand
we were lying on the grass
imagining that we
just by thought could conjure up
somewhere else to be
I thought of another world
far away in space
a water world, warm and safe
now we're in that place
...

Letting Go of Addiction
Maybe it is your eyes that drew me in and got me hooked,
But there is something about you that is like a piece of art.
You know how to fuel my addiction like adding wood to
The burning fire. Every time that you glanced and looked
My way it is like my soul had a mind of its own. My heart
And essence is what you took. Some part of me just knew
That I did not want any of it back. I just knew that it was
Going to be coming back to me bloody and blue. It is like
You squeezed the life out of something I used to think
Was so beautiful and chaotic. You...
