Explorers
Beyond the rolling, molten sky
There dwells a place for when we die
To be reborn in starlight's eye
A genesis of every you & I
We'll seek out worlds yet to be seen
Become creations brightest gleam
Sew the thread within the seam
To weave new worlds of endless dreams

A Simple Question
I asked God, what is my purpose?
There was nothing, but the stillness of time
I asked Allah, what is my purpose?
There was nothing, but the stillness of time
I asked the Buddha, what is my purpose?
There was nothing, but the stillness of time
I asked my daughter, what is my purpose?
She said, with a wrinkled brow
To be my Dad, of course
To have met & married my Mam

This Day
As we stroll,
the dusky pink of a morning sunrise
turns the fields to candy floss.
We get sticky and wet
from the sweetest dew.
I stifle a yawn,
and the softness and scent
of moisturised skin
briefly brushes the redness
of my sun-flushed cheek.
She smiles,
all dimples & eyes of blue serenity.
And, for a moment,
there is no world but us.
Later, w...

Liminal
Liminal
I live in the spaces
Between leaving and arriving,
Jumping and landing,
Fearing and surviving.
(Clutching my duffel bag on the bus
To dreaded childhood swimming lessons.)
Half asleep, half awake.
Tests all done, results await.
Sweet honeyed pause before
The axe falls, the hospital calls.
Racing mind, facing blind panic, the reels that wind.
Life in...

A slow Turtle
A slow turtle, with a heavy back.
Wanted to sprint like the dotted cat.
He was sad because he didn't know his limits,
Devastated after seeing the results of his speed per minute.
Poor turtle knew a little about himself
Grew up among cheetah, thinking he was one self.
Speed was thing where he wanted to be the best.
Without even enjoying the process itself.
He could...

I AM! I AM! I AM!
charcoal toothpaste.
teeth whitening strips.
water on a bathroom floor muddied with muttered songs.
cans of who and why on a windowsill.
forehead sweat. made to stick fringes.
quick to anger. founded in a parent not so unlike.
jerking awake. jolting asleep. comfort nul.
calm mornings when the sun alarms.
evil feelings when green and yellow lie dormant.

The Breeze of Life
The breeze of lust
flows through the forest
of my heart
like a fallen ember
igniting the soul
of souls
housed within the growth
that has been my shield
The breeze of love
coalesces from the ocean
of my mind
like a gentle touch
filling my soul
of souls
housed within the depth
that has been my home
The breeze of lust
The breeze of love
together form one
to become
The breeze of li...

The Waves of Life
A child is born, a new and different soul
Who enters into changing waves of life
That carry him from birth until his death
Through sorrow, joy, despair and happiness.
The childhood starts as blessing and great joy
For caring parents that are nurturing
Before emerging in the cruel world
Where people always want what others have.
As growing up, the goals are aiming ...

As I Progress Through Life
As I progress through this thing called life,
I detach more and more from strife.
I rejoice in simple pleasures taught,
Because I fill my heart with love sought.
I still my mind and meditate,
Searching the universe in an ethereal state.
The peace I gain keeps me balanced and sane,
Ascending above this mortal plain.
The more I learn about this station,
The more ...

In the world of her
On the threshold she stood,
Of the house where her life smiled.
Waving wildly her small arms at him,
Of whom she was the only child.
Inside sat the lady of the house,
Silencing her sobs and drinking up her tears.
Careful not to let the the happy bird know,
Chasing her was the worst of her fears.
All laiden with arms covered under his coat,
To not let the little...

Oh, Poor Life!
Life is as tear drops of the morning.
When the sun throws its warm kiss
Away to the drop,
It becomes an invisible entity.

The Real Definition of Life
Life is a little shining star
That you can't define so far,
Life is a mirror lucid and clear
If broken, you can't feel her!
Like a dream life is fairy
Seeing it, oh, so scary!
Life is an extreme pain unhurt
As if it looks like an invisible art.
Life is darkness of the night
And the burning light of the sight,
Oh, life is a little shining star
That you can't define so far!

Kachō-Ōji (課長王子)
Close your eyes,
It's okay you won’t feel the pain anymore.
Close your eyes,
You can rest, no more fatigue or feeling sore.
Close your eyes,
This will be quicker than waiting for a cure.
Close your eyes,
It's time to meet the Angel of Death to relieve you from all that you've endured.

Come Back to Me
You cannot change the world,
but you may be able to be an
influence in someones world.
The world is wild and unruly.
Chaotic in nature. But you
can make a difference each
moment to feel into its texture
with your touch. It won’t be much,
but maybe it is just enough.
it is all you can do in the face
of the storm that matters.
Live it. Live it for those who can...

Metamorphous
You’re right
3 years ago, I viewed frogs as aliens
Now I wonder whether they’re angels
Months ago, I hated the sound of songbirds
Now I write their songs
I tweet along
Everything I did, I did do
It still was
Even if it no longer is
Whatever I am
I still am what I was
Even if I longer am
You’re right
I was right and now I’m left
But the person I was hasn’t ...

A Perfect Evening
Sitting on the couch next to you
Makes me feel calm, happy and content,
Like walking on a beach with a sunset view,
Every second here is time well spent.

Bottom of the list
Pumping fast to the heart
Blood
Skin feeling warm
To the touch
Inside and out, love flowing
It's flowing
Again
Into your veins
Another day,
Lost
An offer,
Again
Of a blanket on the grass
Your love in a cup
The warmth on our skins
Under the sun, like you planned
Time and time
Again
I've stopped my demands
Always promised
Always empty
If I were a substance
Could I get your love
