LonelyI look at the stars
Hoping to see something
Looking back at me.

But its just echoes
Of dead and dying
Suns and worlds.

Nothing's listening,
Nothing's speaking,
Nothing really cares.

There is no design,
No grand plans to
Make the universe spin.

There's only darkness,
Suffocating and cold,
Consuming the light.

Resting In NatureGreen leaves, soft wind,

The gentle whisper of the breeze.

Frogs croak, Birds sing,

The water reflects the warmth of the Sky.

Calm breathing, light sighing,

The boy and the girl lie calmly in the grass.

Midday Mildness, Soft shade,

Trees provide the greatest shields.

Light shifting, kind yawning,

The Lovers stir in their sleep.

A summer day to never forget.

A nature orchestra providing the lightest music.

A day shared, Hands linked,

The lovers sleep in peace.

the weather latelywhen i tilt my glass up,
dregs of iced tea powder
become an orange starscape,
an eclipse wrought with holes;
summer, beautiful and searing.

On days like thisOn days like this,
I like to think
About just how lucky I am.

How lucky I am
To have food
And a roof over my head.

How lucky I am
To have a beating heart
And air in my lungs.

How I lucky I am
To even have been born.
Imagine...

Out of every sperm and egg,
And every unknown miscarriage,
I survived. We all did.

That in itself is amazing.
Then add on that life itself
Is amazing and wonderful.

How many systems
Must work in tandem
To keep me alive?

If one single DNA strand
Were to replicate wrong
My life would be irreparably damaged.

If my temperature is off
By just the variance between in and out,
I die.

These things astound me.

ReptileBy design, I survive hiding, quiet;
carnivorous.
I am my fangs, or my claws, or my muscle;
alien from accepted.

Please, do not forget,
my cold blood seeks heat.

The softness of scales surprises the skin
of ignorant fingers.

ignore what is placed before us
at our feets

dissolve into the endless stretch
of baby blue skies

LacusSunlight glistens off the top of the lake;
Fish swim beneath the cool, crystal waters,
And the wind chops at the surface,
Breaking, for a moment, the reflection
Of the azure ocean above.

song of love, death and tragedy.
of war that was outplaced by love

that song that has kept you singing,
the song that kept you breathing, the
song that every man, woman and child
would like to hear.

Ode to the WindWest to East,
North to South,
From great lands,
From the ocean’s mouth.
Who is this Great Whisperer
Who hums through the trees?
A zephyr wind,
A gentle breeze.

A joker you are,
And a saint, O wind,
To gather the waters
And in clouds send
Rain and snow,
But also dry out
The torrential flooding
And heal the drought.

You play in the fields
And run through the pines,
Playing with leaves,
Laughing all the time.
From the center of the sea,
To the mountain’s height,
You take off once again
On your continuous flight.

No maze you cannot solve,
No space you cannot fill,
Creeping from under the door
And by the window sill,
Never happy to

The Little BirdI used to have a bird

He sat on my shoulder

His songs comforted me day and night

Every time I opened his cage my heart filled with delight

For he was my only company

But then one day he flew out the window

I shouted and called his name

Until the night was gone

Sometimes if I play a song he would come to me

But when he did not come my eyes filled with tears

For I thought he had gone to the place in the sky

At least he was in a good place if he was or was he?

After days of not finding him I gave up and sat with a piece of bread

My eyes were bloodshot from nights of looking

Then I heard something familiar, was it him?

True enough

Morning CallMorning Call
Sudden shower
Lying half-awake in bed
The soft, tender form of my darling touching me
To my delight, the trill of the bugle
The tumult of the rifles
Had been stilled by the rain
The only sound i heard
Through the soft, quiet swish of my fan
Was the soft and silent swish of the late summer rain
I lay in bed to listen
Until 9 AM

light is dark and dark is lightHave you eaten from the fruits of insanity?
have you not yet bitten into the bitter sweet fruit of sins that lay upon truth?
or are you still living in the safety of a lye,
for I have moved on
while you are still hiding in the blackness of the day
I am bathing under the light of the shade
and though you are blind by the hellish suns rays
I can see
So I will take you by the hand and lead your wandering soul down the proper path of darkness
not the path of son and truth but the path of lies death and gloom
for this is the path of safty
this path was built for you...

Let Loose.
She's ripping her jeans off at the thighs.Pulling out her hemp flip flops.
Bikinis under tank tops are tied.Preparing for the heat of summer.
She dances with the breeze, and runs to the sea. With a free laugh in she jumps.
Waves crash overhead, but she knows how to tread the trails of this old friend.
That girl is on the loose again.
Bare skin on sand, shoes dangle in hand. Her hair dripping with salt water.
She falls on the beach and looks at her feet. White sand is coating like sugar.
She lays her head back and starts to relax,to the sounds of her soothing ocean.
Breathing in the scent of salt drying on sun warmed skin.

InsanityCold blue skies,
A horizon of red,
Cold hard lies,
A heart of lead.

The innocent forced,
To face the night,
The worlds a farce,
There is never a light.

Only variations of the dark,
The not so dark and pitch black.
Time burns stark,
Lives under attack.

Melts away,
In a river of pain,
Melts away,
Flowing from a pen.

Rip and tear,
Vision impaired,
Rip and tear,
'Cause I am no longer scared.

Army Of TwoThis army of two,
This me and you,
Standing strong against the world,
Unbinding love consuming hurt.

We could have fought,
Against the dark,
We could have sought,
Eternal light.

Hand in hand,
Arm in arm,
Tear for tear,
Year by year.

But we didn't,
We broke that bond,
Our love-wrought chains,
Who is to blame.

This army of two,
This me and you,
Left apart,
In confines of dark.

Me,
And you

ShadowsCardboard cut-outs,
Shadows of men,
A bloody war,
That no-one will win.

The war that comes,
Of a broken man,
And the burning sun,
Charring the outlines.

Now we meld,
With all we despise,
Melt into hell,
Chaos... Disarray.

Sanity inside,
In dark we hide,
Monsters and men,
One for every ten.

Ten part monster,
One part man,
Without a master,
Without a plan.

Just dark,
And un-preened claws,
Just flesh,
And blood on the walls.

Cold Steel, Broken HeartsAcid tears,
Cold steel skin,
Burning fears,
Abolishing sins.

Eyelids charred,
Tears of flame,
Eyes scarred,
To never be right again.

Body bruised,
From the inside,
Carcass lost,
Cast aside.

An emotional wreck,
Once a man,
Every delay,
Leaves shattered plans.

Piecing together,
What was set in stone,
Eroded in weather,
No longer home.

Tinfoil HatsTinfoil hats,
Alienation,
Human rats,
Ruination.

Alienated,
From the world I know,
Extradited,
From where I called home.

Cast among,
The deviant kind,
Those so strong,
But lost inside.

Defy,
All clichés and binds,
Rely,
On human-kind.

But no-one helps,
No-one tries,
And I melt,
Beneath tears I cry.

A Foggy Autumn Morning

Morning dew,

Slowly settles downwards,

Like a cascade,

Of divine intervention.

Withered leaves,

Crunch tenderly,

Beneath my feet.

The river runs fast,

So elegant,

The foaming, Thrashing,

Off the rocks.

Bird song flows,

Like love in the air,

Serenades the ears,

Lifts all fear.

Walking alone,

In pristine wild,

Peaceful and green,

Its beauty has been seen.
