There are no wise men any more
their old wisdom is lost
no old spells that cure
no potions endure
where once they saved the farmer's herd
the mystery is blurred
and spells that helped a marriage spurned
are no longer learned
the people who once were in their debt
turn to the internet
There are no wise men any more
their actions show their flaws
no old spell...

God Is No Man
Understanding the laws of the universe
Puts you in a position of overwhelming doubt
As your mind tells you that God would never take the form of a human scout
Decaying in this moment of nonsensical bout.
God doesn’t sit on a cloud
God doesn’t pretend to shout
God doesn’t want to meet you
Or question the defiance from the stench of your wet mouth.
The Universe is filled with mathematica...

Cunt
A word underused
A word that’s abused
So small, yet a powerful beckoning of call
A word remembered by all.
What makes me laugh
When fighting in a brawl
Is the fact the speaker doesn’t understand
That in the 21st century
This word has changed
And enters into a new plan.
To be blunt and to the point
To use the word Cunt! Means not a lot
At all.
I...

Feel It
Feel it with all your might
Feel it with all that’s insight
Feel it tonight
Feel it regardless of your fight
Feel the laughter and pain hitting right
Feel it like the wind lashing off the winter night
Feel it again
Feel it over and over again
Feel it like you can’t pretend
Feel life like it’s your friend
Feel it for all that’s lost with no end
Feel it again
Feel it while delivering...

The Smiling Man
After a long hiatus I offer a piece that came from my recent Greek Odyssey.
The Smiling Man
Ululant sobs of brush-cutters
piercing its Elysian peace,
rivers of tourists cascade
down through old Olympia,
as still as the flowering trees
that colour its ancient sandstones.
Fallen mere centuries past, archaic capitals,
prone like road-blocks, guide the eye
to legend,...

Face Life the Real Way (Poem)
He came into this life,
With atrocities of every kind,
As all he wanted was a life
Free of trouble
And heartache.
As he was looking for freedom,
And inner peace,
He was bound by beatings,
inferiority
And abuse.
He then reverted to alcohol,
All day and all night,
As he was looking for stillness,

Harmoniously With the Divine (Poem)
The more I separated from the divine,
I was clouded by the misty wall.
The misty wall was all I could see,
Without your lenses through the deep.
The more I pursue despite the lies,
I can see you and me harmoniously.
As long as you’re here with me,
There’s nothing and nowhere I cannot be.
And as long as you’re here with me,
I can just be,
Conquer mountains
In front...

Overcoming and Thriving (Poem)
Without mountains to shake us deep,
We are merely sheep wondering in the field,
Merely existing but not living,
On flat ground as we wonder around.
No opportunities to strive for,
No burning desire to reach for,
No journey,
Merely existing, wondering around,
With no desire to strive for.
We condemn what unfolds the journey,
And condemn what creates triumph,
In ...

Seeing Past the Misty Fog (Poem)
As I pull through in the misty fog,
Everywhere is blurry
But the forefront.
I put my backpack on my back,
I open it,
Let the trash drop.
One by one
The trash drops,
As I steadily gaze at the forefront,
Fully immersed on this present moment,
To bring me all I love and need,
Fully immersed on this present moment,
To unfold my path and destiny.

I Forgive You Because (Poem)
I forgive you because,
Holding on to hurts of the past
Is being shackled to the ground
With no escape
But the sound of your voice belittling,
With your sarcastic remarks.
I forgive you because,
If I don’t,
I will sleep walk my whole life,
Never getting anywhere
But listening to your voice
Condescending and obstructive.
I forgive you because,
T...

Despair Made Me Stronger (Poem)
My deepest moments of despair,
Brought about my strength,
And perseverance and faith.
The moments I so wanted an escape,
Were the moments I prayed and praised
Despite the heartache.
The moments of despair
Reconciled me into appreciation.
It’s what pushed me to be grateful,
Despite the trash in my back pack.
This...

Love is a Compass (Poem)
Love is a compass,
A guided direction
To bring us closer
To our divine destiny.
Though we may not know it,
Every loved one brings us closer,
To our dreams,
And mission.
As we struggle to find the answer,
A loved one gives us insight,
To our divine calling and
Unanswered questions.
Though we fight o...

Worth in the Wrong Places (Poem)
Some search their lifetime,
For wealth, riches
And fame.
The exhilaration
Of riches, fame,
Compliments
And flatters,
All for possessions and a pay check.
They live their lives,
Trying to gain worth,
Through their name
And pocket book,
And status.
Then when finally, their dream is fulf...

Seasons Changing (Poem)
Every season,
Brings its own mission,
To pursue
An unending trail,
With mountains,
And fields,
And open space.
Weaving and turning,
As we find our compass
To carve the way.
Pushing through uncertainties,
And doubts,
As we feel our fears
And declare our wants,
And don’t give in.

To My Protectors
Devotion
Soft whispers that guide me
Reminders that the game is not over
Reflection will not be neglected
Innate abilities rising to the surface
Ancestral Inner G has a purpose
Their blood is my blood
As Above, So Below
Ancient wisdom runs through my veins
Always observing
My ancestors leave nothing unnoticed
Gentle spirits that guide me
Giving dire...

For Every Journey There Are Obstacles (Poem)
Out of depression and sadness,
Came a desire for peace and happiness.
Out of sickness came a desire for wellness.
Out of judgment came a desire for respect.
Out of challenges and adversities,
Came a desire for victory.
Out of all these obstacles, desires were born,
And without desire, there’s nothing to reach.
And without adversities...

The Rat Race (Poem)
Competition is your best friend.
Living in expense and luxury,
Buying expensive diamonds,
And toys you don’t use,
To convince others,
Of your value beneath insecurities.
You created your own competition,
Out of jealousy and greed,
To prove that you’re worthy,
You forgot what it means,
To live life internally.

The Law Of Attraction In Motion (Sonnet)
The law of attraction can make or break you,
In a world of uphill and breakthrough.
Let honesty rule our sight,
As we break free of the treacherous light.
Let’s not allow pride to rule our soul,
By thinking merely of the world.
Let’s seek our inner treasure,
It contains our inner power.
And let our inner self shine,
Brighter...

Ancestral
Am I to speak for your past?
May I?
Should I intrude?
For I am the spectre of your years: I was there beside you
In your cot and at your play
Now
I am all that is left
I am the breath of your childhood
I am the oxygen of your life
There is no limit to my presence in your life

Scheherazade
This is my humble commentary on that matchless Middle Eastern and Indian story-book “One Thousand and One Nights”. Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's symphonic suite of the same name is the perfect musical accompaniment!
Scheherazade
Tell me, Scheherazade, how you fled
the evil emir like a bleeding lion,
his twisting, vengeful face now full with
requieted lust; your wisdom shines

Life Loved To Death
In loving, I set myself up for loss,
In caring, broken by those who don't give a toss,
What is the point in this moment or next?
We all end up broken, more broken, bereft...
From start to finish just feels like a flash,
Earn money, more money, broken for cash,
Tired and more tired waiting for sweet release,
When death's knell calls, signalling my peace
So what is ...

Little Girl
As I look into the mirror
A little girl stares back at me
Her eyes twinkling eyes shining so bright
Wind is blowing her hair nice and free
Running free like a child she makes a pretty sight
Her lips twitched into a naughty smile
Radiant face brimming with life
Her eyes shine with unfulfilled dreams
No worries no fear no signs of strife
I am mesmerized by her innocence

GOOD LUCK
Take a spot of wisdom
add it to your view,
widen out your vision
good luck will come to you.

We Can Escape
The photo is the poem, and it is called we can escape. It is about love and adventure.

Growing Up
Growing Up
All I ever wanted was to be a Man,
All I ever sought was maturity and wisdom,
So I tried many things to be
That Man,
And now,
I am but it has come at cost,
The ignorance of youth
‘Can’ be a blessing in disguise
For now I am that man,
I am surrounded now by children
for,
I have lived a life – known lie,
As I have sought...
