Make A Dream Come True

After the water flows

All around you

Do you realize the beauty?

Laying in a field of flowers

I wish you could see

Everything I do

To make a dream come true

Don't be complacent

Fight for your right to sing

To write

To draw

To dream

Make your dreams come true

Her

True love is the rarest gem, 

And I've certainly found mine, 

In a girl who smells like cherries;

Whose laugh feels like warm wine

 

My heart swells at every little thing she does, 

Like the way she twirls her silken hair,

The way she scrunches her nose in the morning;

Half-asleep and all her loveliness laid bare

 

And when she holds me in the night,

I feel the ...

Musée des Beaux Arts (March 2026)

Once again, our thoughts turn to Auden,

Talking art in a Europe on the brink.

As springtime breaks, the bird of peace has flown;

The sick old men dispense the taste of death.

And Icarus? Nobody would care now

(Just as no one seemed concerned at the time);

An exhibitionist whose stunt went wrong.

 

While, on streets, a billion screens flicker

With dances of destruction th...

I turned to the sun in search of God,

The rays of light directed me to you.

By the time my eyes adjusted to your glare,

I knew wholeheartedly that I didn’t want to endure another sunset without you.

 

The moon wishes it compared to your beauty.

For what is the moon but a rock in the sky?

You are made of precious jewels, sunshine, rain, and laughter.

Sonnet: Imigh Hotovely, Imigh Smál Damnaithe! Imigh is Póg mo Thóin! [Out Hotovely, Out Damned Spot! Out and Kiss my Arse!]

The 1st stanza asks a question to which the answer is, of course, “No”. John Milton wrote Areopagitica, an argument against censorship.

Sadly, in the Britain of 2025, poets, artists, journalists, religious leaders and The Man on the Clapham Omnibus now face routine harrassment by the UK Government and the police, enduring arrest and imprisonment without charge or trial: and for what? for oppos...

To make life come undone

The Beauty in Despair and Illusion

It is here that lies your beauty
do not testify to me anymore
of dandelions and daffodils
of butterflies and bees
do not sing like crows
beyond the dispersion of sight
then gather
in cold bare trees
sick with
discord
dislike
misfeasance.
The reward for
transgressions
destroys the cache
of elegance
of magnificence
of splendor
do not pour out sadness
breathless
from your panting ...

The lights you seek are not these ones, these are mine

As I have searched far and wide

Yet these are the most beaufitul I find

Unique, like tears in the snow

 

I share these lights with the Emporer, Leopard and Crabeater

With an hour of sunlight, there's nothing more sweeter

This is not a draft

 

I don’t want to mask my poetry

I want you to understand me

Curse your perfect rhythms, rhymes, haikus

Your lyricism, your literary

When I try to adopt it, I turn mute.

Something channels through me

(I’ve never really found the root)

A demanding stream of consciousness

That cannot stop to breathe, let alone

Wait, conceptualise, draft, redraft
