Shine On

Don't ever let anyone convince you 
to not share your soul songs. 

The weaponized words 
they hurl towards you, 
are formed from 
their own insecurities. 

You get one shot, 
in this time and space, 
accompanied by 
crabs in a bucket, 
and a host of other cliches,
determined to control 
your creative mind. 

Give in to dark energy,
and you become it. 

Rise above it.

The Deepest Caverns Are In The Heart

Mysterious and echoing and ever dank

Grottos where dreams wither and die

Where a million loves dried and shrank

 

Love is deeper than anyone can go

There's no bottom to that chasm

Its a death zone...

That's looks lovely and clear
But underneath is a dying soul
Which is engulfed in a black hole

Dont head for destruction
Give it up and live a new passion
It's only a black ...

Abyss

I could not do everything I wanted to do
so, I laughed it off and cut my throat
to descend into a bloody abyss
where my mind could open up wide
and swallow everything whole
doubting everything
questioning everything
criticising everything
until my mind had had its fill
and I rose back up from the abyss
and into the light
my throat still cut
but my life intact.

The Goddess is Dancing

Many years ago I was intrigued by the appearance on Perth roads of bumper stickers displaying the enigmatic statement that "The Goddess is Dancing". I had no idea what this advertising campaign was all about, so I put together my own preferred explanation.

 

The Goddess is Dancing

 

Far from the powdered sand-tracks

in dunes dry beyond ages,

past unwatered acacias

where the wh...
