Helpless Love
Once upon a time all feelings and emotions went to a coastal island for a vacation. According to their nature, each was having a good time. Suddenly, a warning of an impending storm was announced and everyone was advised to evacuate the island. The announcement caused sudden panic. All rushed to their boats. Even damaged boats were quickly repaired and commissioned for duty. Yet, Love did not wish to flee quickly. There was so much to do. But as the clouds darkened, Love realised it was time to leave. Alas, there were no boats to spare. Love looked around with hope. Just then Prosperity...

In these moments
In these moments, when the past is overwhelming
In these moments, when there’s nothing but the scream
Of your soul, reapeating it: “I’m sorry”
when regret is drowning, no hope of a dream
In these moments it comes back with force and passion
In these moments when it mocks your good intent
In the outcome lie the demons of your sin
In the outcome echoes fear of failing once again
In these moments there’s no feeling in your heart to save you
No messiah, you can not command the storm to just be still
Just a human, but when the heart...
In these moments, when there’s nothing but the scream

In the outcome lie the demons of your sin
In the outcome echoes fear of failing once again
In these moments there’s no feeling in your heart to save you
No messiah, you can not command the storm to just be still
Just a human, but when the heart...

Paradise
All my life there were two things that I wanted
To be perfect and to have a girl that I could bond with
Nothing wrong with dreaming 'bout forever with a partner
All I wanna do is show love and be loved
In a world full of opportunities, that's paradise
A place where the grass is always greener, nothing terrifies
A cobra's lair is like a playground, your kids stay there at night
And come back in the morning; wake up and see their delight
You walk out to your yard, happy with your grapevines
Planning for a great time, hanging by the lakeside ...
To be perfect and to have a girl that I could bond with
Nothing wrong with dreaming 'bout forever with a partner
All I wanna do is show love and be loved
In a world full of opportunities, that's paradise
A place where the grass is always greener, nothing terrifies
A cobra's lair is like a playground, your kids stay there at night
And come back in the morning; wake up and see their delight
You walk out to your yard, happy with your grapevines
Planning for a great time, hanging by the lakeside ...

Days Of Our Lives
this poem is going
to be about several topics
throughout the verses there's gonna be
some good fucking intermissions and
some real to life confessions
as i speak of these
latter day activist with these new age acronyms
filled with acrimony and self righteousness
agitated minions bullying society
with their opinions and emotional pandering
slandering this party..that party..
pointing fingers all day every day
mad at this that and the third ...

metamorphosis
The end is in the beginning.” (T.S. Eliot)
some place to rest my legs
where i can spawn my pregnant eggs
an underleaf will do
where burning sun cannot pierce through
my ovum flush
is marvelous
my motherhood is prime
sleep, little ones
i’ve got to run
my wings are bound by time
five sleeping days is all
that we can spare before the call
for larvae cannot be
confined without catastrophe ...

Heading Towards Success
We live in a[b] rat[/b]/i] [i]race
As we run after success
A way of life we deemed to be the best
We try to outrun our peers
In this competitive life we live
Without a care for those
Who are going to be hurt in the race
It is in our nature to be competitive
Inherent in us from the beginning of time
In the story of Cain and Abel
Competition rouse our desire to succeed
In whatever feat we take in life
Success lures us, its power grips us
It arouses our passion
At times...

Kaleidoscope ( edited today )
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your old men dream dreams,
your young men will see visions.'
(Joel Chapter 2 v 28)
I saw the future from the stile
as of many days before,
every day I lean and learn
clouds disperse,congregate
as yesterday and tomorrow.
The field so wet a month ago
now dry as dust,the corn green
newly grown six...
your old men dream dreams,
your young men will see visions.'
(Joel Chapter 2 v 28)

Sweet, May She Be
May she always come to you as vivid as a dream; nearly so, that you almost cry Bringing forth a rattle within your bones; stirring and shaking you so
Blessed be her voice; hovering about you as if clouds over treetops high
Ever should you be a ship lost at sea; she - your anchor from a wretched undertow
May you feel ever so wondrous - as if being at the summit of the greatest mountain Cherish and nourish her so; as she brings the scribbling thoughts...
Blessed be her voice; hovering about you as if clouds over treetops high
Ever should you be a ship lost at sea; she - your anchor from a wretched undertow
May you feel ever so wondrous - as if being at the summit of the greatest mountain Cherish and nourish her so; as she brings the scribbling thoughts...

Sleeping in the Forest (A memorial to Mary Oliver)
That night, I slept beneath the watch of a familiar face, but one which I had not visited for quite some time.
I gazed deep into Mother nature’s nurturing eyes,
As she held me in her warm embrace
And so tenderly took me away
From the bane of my existence,
'Neath the skirt of a gnarled, giving tree.
Her pockets full of nuts and seeds,
The fallen fruits of her creation,
Bestowed so lovingly to me,
Neatly rested below its gnarled branches,
An enchanted slumber befell my eyes
As mother...

Wild Geese (God Gave Her Wings)
Hello, Sun in my face.
Hello, you who make the morning
and spread it over the fields.
Watch, now, how I start the day
In happiness, in kindness.'
-Mary Oliver
.....
‘Tell me, how will you be fearless and improbable
and beautiful, how will you become wise..’
(She asked this of the sunrise)
‘I will write upon awakening in the early morning mist..’,
she, to self replied.
‘And I want to grow wings, I want to learn to fly..’, ...
