HOPE (Remove filter)
Access weekend
iPod plugged, young Victor’s
muttered not a word since my divorce.
Grace is up front. She carps,
“Dad, why d’you drive this Chelsea Tractor?”
Thinks she’s going to save the world of course
since reading a bit of ecology for GCSE.
I hang a left and bark,
“You think I never cared? You’ll see!”
My big Land Cruiser cruises
country lanes through blizzards of thistle-down.
The car-...

21st c. enlightenment blues
Rattling through the low hills
in the darkness and the endless endless rain
the train is overcrowded
because the train is overcrowded
because the train is always overcrowded
and the conductor’s now a manager
a voice we never see
mumbling something through the tannoy
about weather and delays.
We used to have seats
now we stand
and this is progress.
Outside
the airwaves are full bey...

Daydreams -- 07/2015
Time winds down
Tick tock
As I watch the clock
Days go by
It seems
Dreams so pristine
Staring out the window
Daring to follow
You to the horizon

Crush -- 07/2015
The speed
The rush
My face turns flushed
I'm being crushed
By your presence
Can't stand your absence
Laying, relaxing with you
It doesn't matter what we do
Quietly watching TV
Intertwined, breathing heavily
Or cracking up, acting a fool
Its not like back when I was in school
But its true
I like you
And I'm hoping you like me too

Here...
Here's to hoping
Instead of moping
Moving forward
And ahead
Being careful of the tread
But accepting of what will be
Climbing the tallest trees
For all to see
"Hey, this is the new me!"
Here's to laughing
Instead of napping
Feeling alive
Instead of drained dry
Watching, waiting
Still debating
But all awhile
As happy as a child

Always remember the beach
How about the beach? Sandy feet, fresh breeze. Seize the sunlight, beam just as bright
How about flying a kite? Light, the campfire, just right. Tent settled, just behind that tree you see?
How perfect could this be? Gazing beside one another; amongst grass and stars We huggled as if it ...

Security I Guess
Help me oh please help me
I havent lost my mind
But tell me oh please tell me
Why it is so hard to find,
I havent fallen off the truck
It crushed another man,
I know the training perfectly
But never met the sand.
A lonely man you'd call me
But you are to blind to see,
Im married to a wealthy wife
Who's tied me to a tree,
The branches shake above me
And t...

HOPEFUL EYES
What sad weary eyes we have
that see, in all the world,
such poverty and pointless pain.
Would not the sunlight bathe upon it
if we simply look again?
For the eye of the beholder
may choose the depth of tint
we see, through a rose coloured lens.
A hint of fanciful forms,
as they filter the rays they sense.
From beneath the haze
of the shimmering sun,
l...

The Butterfly Effect
I lay here cradling my mosaic heart, untwinned in your palms. My naked body and mind no longer intertwined, A fated dualistic death. I gave myself to you unwittingly, unknowingly, punishingly... Sensual, seductive emotions ravenously race through my every pore, One last butterfly kiss, wanting evermore. My heart decadently dances with perpetual palpitation...

Just-in-time
Blues don’t complain
For clouds are dense
Untold desires will rain
Dousing all in consequence
For they trust the Big Star
Will rise just-in- time
Seed when soiled
Smothered in darkness
Left out to be buried
is set to shed its brown
Believing the water splash
Will life it just-in –time
Rodents lair
Insects crawl
Micro-beings breathe
Free to sur...

FIRE ON THE HORIZON
The searing summer sun
sets on the distant horizon,
setting ablaze
in a shimmering heat haze
the careless cumulous clouds,
aglow with crimson incandescence.
Distant twinkling stars
awake in the turquoise twilight sky;
mysterious worlds,
afar and on high.
The end of another glorious day
with promise of more to come.
Days as fresh and gloriou...

Snail's Pace
I want to run, far far away
Where the grass is green, and the children play
Where the sun is beaming and the skies are blue
Where the days are longer and my dreams come true
If I could fast forward to that happier place
Perhaps ill feeling would disappear without a trace
Though If I cheated time, I might cheat myself
Perhaps challenges and realisations are encapsilations ...

DREAMING FOR ALL TO SEE
You say that I'm a dreamer
and so I may well be
but the dreams I have
aren't just for me,
they're for you and all to see.
The dream is of love,
of life free from harm,
a dream of peace and
shelter from the storm.
The dream is the lifeblood
flowing deep in our veins,
the dream will always be
for all to see
and all that remains.
The dream is t...

I Know
Maybe the grass will be greener,
The hills smoother,
The well deeper,
Sweeter—
If wishing makes it so.
If dreaming births hope—
I know.
The world won’t teeter,
The branch won’t bend itself low—
And the soil won’t rise to meet her.
Not for the dreamer
To grab hold of fruit that much quicker.
Nor will that water become liquor
Simply because it was told.

28 Years Later
Can you imagine infinity as a 10 year old?
Yet now, 28 Years Later, I think it’s no time at all
I know you’ve been with me, all this while, watching,
I grew from a child, into a girl, then a daughter.
There were times when I wished you weren’t there,
private moments, intimacies, melancholic memories,
I silently searched for you to surprise me,
my wedding, a fatherly hug ...

Living With the Opposite
In this world in which
We live
We are blind to what we will not see.
The opposite
They haven't light.
Daring
We clash with great might.
One day I will get away
And walk this path not another day.

HOPE WITHIN TIME
As another day draws to a close
So similar to yesterday
In my actions and the thoughts I struggle to keep at bay
Time is a thing I cannot control
Each day passes, then a month, another year
As I struggle on, not being able to change becomes the all-consuming fear
The rawness of emotion lessens
The cycle of terrifying darkness broken by hope has gone

~the Day i Fell for You

Kindly Here
Curious,
what is real? is it love?
We know for we see,
and sense,
and existence hands us ample space
to be, and learn,
and understand life,
that, without you and me,
would be pointless;
o' how important it is
to ponder intentions...
In love we're assembled;
in comfort,
and kind shelter.

Belong To You
When, whatever you want
I'm here for you, always near
In any circumstance.

Gone Till April
Hope I make the most of my gifts.
I'd be damned if I stayed the same person I was a year ago
Willing to work for mine, fuck a handout.
Whether it be a full-time nine to five or freelance, I'm gunning
for the top where I oughta be.
Not a rapper, just a brother presenting a gift for the world to see
possibly change someone's life.
All I want is for my family and my girlfriend t...
