Be Kind To You
Be kind to yourself.
We all make supposed "mistakes" which are not really.
…it is called growing as people.
forgive and move on.
Be kind to yourself.

Understanding Begins With Ourselves
So many feel the need to fight
Living life with no inner light
Why do so many appal
Simple fact that Love is all
My desire all lost souls see
Potential for all they can be
Life make of what we will
Finding our own truths until
Our future to be shaping, moulding
Parallel with our learning unfolding
Emotional balance only natural

Howling Edge
"Give children fire, so they can grow stronger than anyone you've ever known"
Take me to the edge
Give me wings to touch the sky
Let me hustle my sorrow into the wind
May my pain echo in a kind
Might it set their world on fire
Tears pumping through their veins
Let them know what I've felt
What ache I've been in
And they'll heal as soon as their own wind whisper hits 'em
As a hurrican...

The Spark Of Understanding
Why is it thought such a fight
Living life within the light?
Purely expressed feelings actual
Emotional balance is only natural
There never was anyone else to blame
Personal responsibility to now reclaim
Life being ours to make of what we will
Thinking purely, truths, freedom until
Our future to be shaping and moulding
Parallel with our learning unfolding

All The Things (Happy World Poetry Day!)
It being absolutely essential
To live our life to our potential
Drifting along, getting on by
Lazy ways to truth deny
Living this way being soul treason
Finding excuses, rhyme or reason
Looking away from where we should be
Closing our minds to our liberty
My reality took a while to sink in
Inner voice screaming, making a din
To be a poet my path to take
The safe li...

Taking Off The Jacket
A comfort zone is like an old jacket
Worn it for too many years
It doesn’t quite fit anymore and definitely looks tired
Shabby and worn out
Carrying on being worn because it’s comfortable
Now is always the best time to leave comfort traps
Stretching horizons
Stretching ourselves
Waking as the sun rises on a new place today
The thrill of travel

Where To Look?
Pondering the question…
How to be inspired?
Meditating, dreaming
Mind works overtime looking for the answer
Information meltdown time
Taking a quiet moment…looking around seeing anew
Inspiration?
It’s in every tree...city life goes on….and yet here we have nature
Nature still manifesting as the ultimate expression of art in motion
What could be more inspiring?

Connections
Our bodies borrowed from the universe
Made of stardust
Everywhere and nowhere at once
Souls having a human experience
Moving ego aside to freedom
Inspiration guiding our actions
Through universal connections
How often the truth hides
Right there in plain site
Seek and we find
I am the seasons
Life to renew
I am divine
And so are you

To Dream Of Greatness
I like seaside piers; in a parallel world I’m a Victorian engineer
In this world I am mostly polite and mostly sincere
I like architecture: in a parallel world I designed Carnegie Hall
In this world I just sketch buildings, taking in it all
I like trains; in a parallel world I drive them to Kathmandu
In this world no leaves or snow on the track will do
I like trees; in a parallel w...

Elvis passing on, just about remember the day
Failed to move me much in any particular way
John in New York on the street he died

In remembrance of our very own son they proclaimed
A statue of the man they commissioned Tom Murphy to craft
To greet all travellers, I think John woul...

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...

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

The Universe Hears
Energy we put out into the Universe

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...

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.

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

Feels like I’ve died and gone to hell!
Can we not really talk anymore?

Our place in the world
Reality bubbles
Peering outward
From fathoms deep within

Created around and within us
Transformation underway

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

Art on 5th Avenue - The Guggenheim
Walked through Central Park along 5th Avenue
Destination we’d read so much about coming into view
Standing back gaping at the alien architecture before us
Incredible building, sallying forth anticipation all abuzz
Worth the entrance fee to simply look upward inside
Enough procrastination, let’s go see art, we decide
Never given much thought to Van Gogh not strictly my scene

Where It All Began
Revisiting childhood memories
Going back…right back to where it all started
I’m a writer now
They enjoyed my stories then

Northenden, South Manchester
Now I’m back again after all these years
Or is it a moment?
Difficult to be sure…can we ever be sure?

The Jacket
Her most treasured possession
Fraying
Veritably threadbare
Once brown
Now no longer
Original colour faded out
Existing only in memory
As he does now

Her adored Grandpops
Three years since he passed away
His jacket
The one he wore come rain or shine
Became hers
Only hers
And the emotions
Which came with it
She wore it every day

Now Truly Living
With pure open heart
Negativity can now depart
In beauty to be walking
Inner voice talking
Cleansed, feeling whole
Mind, body and soul
Harmless ways of living
Caring and easily giving
Projecting what’s inside
All eyes open wide
It’s easy to really fathom
It’s about Love in every atom
In every action, every thought
The still point that is sought

But optimistic for the future

Melting clocks
The memory persists
A moment of genius
Pure sublime
Symbolism
And yet so much more
Inspired so many childish artistic endeavours

Immortalized in my paint
Still the memory persists
Drawing me in
To see
Needing to see
Reach out into the painting
What was the artist feeling?
Could I feel it too?

The Healing of Ancient Wounds
She wondered into his place of work
because she thought she was loosing her head
When approached by him she lost herself,
her wits and her heart instead
She found her will to try,
emotions she had lost,
physical urges she thought she had shed
The sight and sound of him,
the insight he shared,
her soul he fed
Cautiously she indulged,
dependency has only ever bro...

Inspiration and then the compelling need to write
Words coming from I know not where
Flowing through my hands to the page
Acting as a conduit for universal creativity
Getting out of my own way
This poem is not mine
An expectant audience awaits the troubadour
Do I get nervous before a show they often ask?
My response is consistent “no, never”
You see I am merely a co...

Last Train
Just as we think we have reached the end
Seemingly no way forward
All options apparently exhausted
I am reminded of train number 48624
Fallen out of use
Abandoned to the scrapheap
Or so it seemed
One winter’s day in the nineteen eighties
Stood facing into the icy wind
As with frozen fingers I take a photograph
Preserved for posterity now
This relic of a former...

Make your dreams big ones...big, bold and in glorious technicolour

And if the dream is possible, however remotely, there is a good chance the way will be made available to achieve your dream.
It will happen...the choice is then yours...how much do you want it? and how brave do ...

Confidence comes from self-knowing
Knowing is to journey within
Within is the source of all wisdom
Wisdom is to truly master life

Knowing oneself is growing
Growing is the true path

Wisdom is an acceptance
Acceptance is to know oneself
Oneself the true source of knowing

Some people take themselves terribly seriously
These people are to be avoided at all costs
Apparently, they give off toxic fumes…

Some people have their headphones so loud all can hear
