Knocking On My Door
I am pro any religion that advocates harming no others or taking a life
Protecting the innocent, nurturing the lost and protecting wildlife
They come to my front door, knock, knock, knock for my attention
A personal invitation right from my doorstep to join their congregation
And generally the same question they are consistently asked by me
“I think all killing is wrong, tell me, do...

Transcendent Love
Dear Lord, please find me
somebody to love.
God replied, no,
not just one love.
I give you an ocean
of eternal love
found only in faith,
poetry and music.
From this special place,
you will find love
like you have never known,
from kindred spirits
around the world,
transcending
space and time,
to give you a glimpse
of the divine.

Blissful Cliché
Follow your bliss so they say,
many a truth spoken in cliché
Do something to amaze you,
inaction really is so passé

Christmas Wishes 2020
My wish this Christmas
is faith replaces fear.
Loneliness gives way

Gratitude

Children play

the tattered old man on Christmas Eve
the tattered old man on Christmas Eve
snow was falling hard
as the old man struggled
through the deep drifts
on the country road
light shone from a
a farmhouse window
the old man smiled seeing the glow
it was a candle
the widowed mother had placed there
nightly since last Christmas Eve
a year ago
a man was found
frozen along this same road

Life Comes To This
Love is flowing down these blood-washed streets.
We are not done.
You put us out yet cannot put us out.
You have not won.
Hate hopes to overpower
Yet is weak
For Freedom's spirit cannot be contained
By anything.
We are not crushed nor wilted
Nor alone
We are not bowed nor beaten
Nor undone
Listen, for we still are brave to speak
Words will be waged
Look, for we still carry our ...

Beyond Trying
Try, try and try again can be oh so trying
Endlessly trying, yet never really achieving
“At least I gave it a go, I tried” is wishy washy
Trying is hardly committing, whatever may be
Trying offers an opt-out clause at some point
“Giving it a try” guaranteed to disappoint
Any road to achievement in life is rarely linear
Which way forward oftentimes a little unclear

Night On A Rainbow
arches and keystone
without one they fall
life sustained by you
or I had nothing at all
skies at time of damp
arch of hues on show
feast with brittle rays
grist for my rainbow
refraction bends light
you twisted my heart
with love's pot of gold
vowed we'd not part
rainbow but an illusion
your promise the same
capricious the crescent

Best Friend
On my darkest days you have been my light
You have helped me to shine bright
Always telling me that I belong
Always reminding me that I am enough
When my heart it blue
You are my glue
Nothing can describe the bond between me and you
You always see me through
Thank you for being my best friend, my sister, and simply you

Souls Remember
What is it about you that captivates me,
leaves my heart with a gaping hole.
You stay at bay,
but your muse has much to say.
Your poetic love shines,
creating a portal in time.
We share a cosmic kiss,
before falling into life’s abyss.
Souls remember,
what the mind forgets.

Fireflies
He looks out of the open window
at the end of the street,
cold and grey it seems like melancholy
& there she stands afar
calm and still,
like the depths of the ocean waters;
as the time slips and the
night sky drops on this world,
the moon shines bright as ever
envied, as it looks at her glaring eyes,
radiating without the help of another star
like firefl...

The Universe Hears
Energy we put out into the Universe
Boomeranging back at us in reverse
Negativity ensuring more negativity
Positivity ensuring more positivity

Time to take personal responsibility
Attending to thoughts and what we say
They create our reality every single day

Internal Liberty
Think deeply about your ideal utopia
Designed from life’s eternal cornucopia
Perfection as you always secretly dreamt
Going to bed at night in deepest content
Finally be honest with yourself here and now
Invest quality time in an internal powwow
Cutting straight through the trivial and fake
Clearly seeing the path you need to take
Need to find that dream to make i...

The melodic grass
This music,
it makes me want to fall from the water
float in the sky,
stare at those lips
and kiss those green eyes,
drink from the clouds
and jump on the pond
to feel the stars
and gaze at the stones,
the rythms , the notes
melt my mind
ignite my visible voice
I'm not here nor there
maybe inside a void
floating on the blues
maybe its a d...

No Doubt
What if we could have no doubt
What if we could all just look at this world through a child’s eyes
What if we could share our life’s without being judged
Let energies meet and collide
Trust that people won’t hurt you
Trust that people won't see you for the crazy human you are but instead for the new beautiful soul you’ve become

Kiss Me
Kiss me
in the strawberry fields
of your mind.
Kiss me
in rhythm
and rhyme.
Kiss me
until darkness
becomes sunshine.
Kiss me
from pain
to pleasure divine.
Kiss me
through sands
of time.
Kiss me
beyond death
to life sublime.

Smeared
you wanted it so I went on the scent,
you said it made you feel like a queen,
Christmas at that Knightsbridge store,
most expensive emporium I'd ever seen
perfume is fine when embellished by love,
every atom of the odour a tender reminder
of loving moments with your chosen one
with whom you couldn't wish to be kinder
it's when the passion cools and she waltzes o...

TheTime Is Precisely Now
Think about what you ate yesterday for lunch
really focus on it with all the power of your mind.
See it and feel it.
Strongly imagine you can taste it.
The flavours stimulating your taste buds.
The aroma filling your senses.
Next bring to mind a favourite childhood meal. Something you looked forward to every single time you knew it was on today’s menu.
In the same way, pi...

Uncertain
They cause us pain and yet we pretend
That it's love
love that will win in the end
Are we so blind by the challenge
Creating a false sense to feel valid
To remain blind is a choice we carry
Self worth cast aside and buried
So we can hold on just a little longer
The random good times
Make us feel stronger
You really loose your sense of self
In a set of cards you chose to delt

A Ghost Of Christmas Past
Granda's slouched
In his fave comfy chair
A Christmas cracker party hat
Hides his four strands of hair
His wife always said:
'Get the buggers cut!'
But he wasn't quite ready
To be a total baldy nut!
He wishes she was here now
Nagging at full pelt:
'If ye eat or drink one more thing,
yer gonna burst your belt!'
And Sophie's eyes sparkle

Narcissus V Phoenix
Narcissus creatures surround me.
Vultures, pecking at my serenity.
Testing my resolve.
Threatening to consume me.
Daring me to break free,
from a doomed mentality.
Do I close my eyes to injustice
permeating our atmosphere,
like The Great Smog?
No.
I spread my Phoenix wings.
Rise above the toxic darkness.
Bring forth healing light.
Spread peace, kindness, love.
Never give up ...

Affirmation
I would like my naked toes to caress a field of poppies
to dance; a fine expression of freedom and happiness.
to look up at the clear blue skies
and listen to the sound of singing birds
in the midst of wonderful harmony.
For time to stand still, a chance to inhale
To truly take in life, and the precious moments it can hold.

Chitter Chatter
Chitter chatter please cease
Give the world some peace
Inane pointless natter
Gossip radio patter
Careless words spoken
Constant stream unbroken

Texted unfeeling greetings

Feels like I’ve died and gone to hell!
Can we not really talk anymore?
Truly communicate…I implore!
Look past the superficial

Rhododendrons And The Hudson River
Unexpected botanical specimens appreciated as we wait
Rhododendrons growing wild, well untamed at any rate
We want to see it after dark, adding textures, night views
Navigated Hell’s Kitchen, towards our Liberty Cruise
Flowers near the ferry office, she takes photos up close
Standing back I admire her, a poem in my head I compose
The tour starts, Liberty awaiting our pleasur...

You,
made me feel something
Something I've been trying to avoid for awhile now.
You,
made me feel safe.
Made me feel loved.
Made me feel like the only girl in the world
In your arms, no bad could happen.
In your arms, I was safe.
In your arms, I was loved.
This unfamiliar feeling made me uneasy
Made me doubtful
Made me question everythi...

So Easily
her smile came so easily
before I could even blink,
she made my heart race
brought me to the brink
dress slipped off so easily
mysore silk of jade green,
the body of a svelte and
molten Myanmar queen
her love given so easily
from a brimming chalice,
no passion ever rivalled
what oozed from Alice
slipped away so easily
with barely a mumur,

Perceptions Of Reality
Our perception of reality
Our place in the world
Reality bubbles
Peering outward
From fathoms deep within
Sometimes overnight
Maybe a lifetime
Or more than one
Dismantle our own bubble
Take a good long look at you
Then the world
Created around and within us
Transformation underway
Re-learning
Awakening from spiritual amnesia
Unfolding

Mistletoe In The Cellar
conceived in a cellar, of
a Tommy home on leave,
mother waving mistletoe,
shortly she would grieve
official dad inert upstairs
exempt due to his arches,
Tommy back to trenches
bullets or forced marches
killed in action in the mud
in my blood's a war hero,
official dad a profiteer,
moral fibre less than zero
the duality in mistletoe,
fertile of ...

Advent 2020

Hard to believe that it's December and we're coming to the end of a year that has presented many challenges. In the Christian tradition, candles are lit for Advent, representing hope, love, joy, peace, and the light of the world. This year we're waiting for vaccines, an end to lockdowns and tiers and I've tried to ...

It's A Choice
Love is a tricky thing
Working hard to bring
Two people together
But time shows
Eventually
True colors sadly
Become normality
Familiarity
Some don't see
What they sacrifice
Continuing to give up
Compromise
Their want's their needs
All to keep the peace
Not to displease
The one they say they love
Letting go of some
Isolating the ones
You miss
Dont dismiss
The feeling that dw...

The Possible Image
“Labels can make or break us”
The topic for today “discuss”
“Good boy you’ve eaten all your dinner!”
Early learning, clear my plate and I’m a winner
“You’ve got to look smart to visit Nana and Grandad”
Ahh, so wearing my pyjamas all day then is bad?
“Pay attention in class, stop sitting there daydreaming”
How can imagination be wrong, my inner voice is screaming

Roots of Love
Roots of Love
Ones moon rises as the others descends.
The Sun brings their identity as they unlock their worlds.
One gusts into the world as Air.
One ignites into the world as Fire.
One love’s expressing through intellectuality!
One’s motivated by inspirations and aspirations!
The moon is the Soul of their identities.
One’s Soul reacts to experiences,
with discernment ...

In The Moonlit Night
I wished I could talk to the stars
As I walked alone in the moonlit night,
The light of the passing by cars,
Enhanced the beauty of the sight.
I sat down on the grass by the street
To add a few pages to my old sketchbook.
But you suddenly came to meet,
Perfectly letting me off the hook.
Now I walked with you
To live the best day of my life.
Everything began anew
The moment you asked...

Composition of Intimacy
Compostition of Intimacy
With fears of eternal solitude, I called truce.
Obstacles fill the atlas of our hearts,
distracting our impressions of exquisite Love.
Our painful beliefs insist we reprieve our minds,
voiding our previously learned doctrines of romance.
Phobias of Love furiously traveled the hourglass of our lives.
Chaos constrained our philosophy of enchantment,

Forget Black Friday.
Cancel Cyber Monday.
Go Giving Tuesday!
How can we focus on material things,
superficial gifts,
when children are starving,
sick, neglected, abused,
need clean water to drink...
If 2020 has taught us anything,
it is to see more clearly,
appreciate what we have,
lend a helping hand.
Together we rise above mediocrity,
spread love in o...
