The child in me writes day and night
But I say to you!
Yes you reading this!
We have but hands to write!
We have but eyes for sight!
But I say to you!
Yes you reading this!
We have but words!
We have but time!
Effortless effortless time!
But I say to you!
Yes you reading this!
How could one not be!
A writer of such!
To leave for a history!
Take my wonders!
Take my tales!
Take my story's!
Take the veil!
But I say to you!
Yes...
Yes you reading this!
We have but hands to write!
We have but eyes for sight!
But I say to you!
Yes you reading this!
We have but words!
We have but time!
Effortless effortless time!
But I say to you!
Yes you reading this!
How could one not be!
A writer of such!
To leave for a history!
Take my wonders!
Take my tales!
Take my story's!
Take the veil!
But I say to you!
Yes...

Reeling
Thought I'd seen it all
knew the players
knew the game
Two star restaurant
dizzying view
rhythmic conversation
coaxing me out
Followed by jazz
front row listening
tickling whispers
chipping away
at my frozen heart
Till the predictable
climax
back at his place
for drinks before
the shedding of clothes
like a minor
inconvenience
Moving in closer
fragile kisses
growing bolder
as my desire
boiled to the surface
Taking his...

the oasis the refuge- thirty trees in the middle of a salt pan
her ink
his solace
make not
no man
cry
for he knows not
when
to stop...

Coastal Melaleuca
Wandering the tranquil coastline forest
a secret sanctuary, sheltered by dunes
isolated by freshwater billabongs, I gaze
into enchanting tangled blue reflections
suspended in black tannin backwaters
twisted roots snare limbs and torsos
of lost lovers that carelessly ventured
beyond the safety of the sandy shores
Melaleuca, humble tree of hidden truth
sweet fragrant leaves heal my wounds
paper bark peels from crooked trunks
versatile fabric to her keeper’s customs ...

The Best
The best and most exciting thing in life
Is not love it is ending someone else's
The best way to mend a broken heart
Is to keep on killing random strangers
The best part of walking around naked
Is watching innocent on lookers throwing up
The best thing about having friends
Is it extends your pool of people to torture and kill
The best thing about god is he
Is a figment of the minds of the mentally ill
The best thing about saying goodbye
Is saying goodbye with confident permanence
The best thing...
Is not love it is ending someone else's
The best way to mend a broken heart
Is to keep on killing random strangers
The best part of walking around naked
Is watching innocent on lookers throwing up
The best thing about having friends
Is it extends your pool of people to torture and kill
The best thing about god is he
Is a figment of the minds of the mentally ill
The best thing about saying goodbye
Is saying goodbye with confident permanence
The best thing...

To a Friend
My Friend
I didn't teach you
anything
that you
didn't already know
you just needed
someone
to show you
The crossroads
where you were standing
under that skeletal tree
listening to the shadows
Whispering
Telling you
what you should be
But you
chose your own path
the path
of what will be
will be
in this
sad world
of conformity
where being
Different
has become a crime
to the Herd
that has no Spine

to the Herd

Remember ALL the Stars
Never get so busy watching the stars above,
That you fail to see the stars beneath.
That you fail to see the stars beneath.

The moon in her Wisdom
It is late and the moon
in her wisdom sinks
beneath the trees,
no need to compete,
rule the night,
rest the day,
sleep with the owl,
leave the sun
to hay and jay.
in her wisdom sinks
beneath the trees,
no need to compete,
rule the night,
rest the day,
sleep with the owl,
leave the sun

Peace
came for a visit
while the world slept
escaping the cacophony
of life
sat bewitched
swayed by distant waves
gradually reaching
warmth of your coast
washing the feet
of those who venture close
a priest kneeling
at the dais on Holy Thursday
humbled by the moment
stepping on the shore
I could feel you
arms extended
welcoming
never embraced
or given true respect
to a life held gingerly
by formidable restraint
rustling...

I heard a voice
I heard her voice
and winter moved,
spring arrived
like tenderness held,
like fresh flowers bloomed
so sweet, intoxicating,
in every way,
words she spoke
danced all around me,
I could caress each moment
if I were allowed to hear her voice,
every day.

few may flower
few may flower as much
you have established your self
on a purple flower bed
I am still laying flat
holding my bat
no one balls at me as freely
but your poetry is still flowery
I don't bat an eye
while reading ye
you are the only purple one
outside Royalty
you have established your self
on a purple flower bed
I am still laying flat
holding my bat
no one balls at me as freely
but your poetry is still flowery
I don't bat an eye
while reading ye
you are the only purple one
outside Royalty

STRIPY CAME BY
STRIPY CAME BY
Stripy came by early today
with nothing much of anything to say
with an alien stare and unfailing care
searching while perching for what wasn't there
Munching on sunflower seeds left out for Chippette
who also is, and isn't, my pet
Maybe an awesome member remembers a sweet night
as a baby possum scrounging September's twighlight
