Dream
Flow like a river
Dance like a stream
Ninety percent water
Ten percent dreams
Tumble into an ocean which kisses many seas
Get sucked up by the sun and turned into a raindrop
which calls itself ME
Then I fall onto a garden and nourish a plant
Which becomes a succulent vegetable
That is purchased by a distant aunt
She cooks it in a tasty dish and serves it to my d...

Let me control the media
The information given
May turn some peoples heads
We may believe we control what we are thinking
But who controls what we have read
When we make our informed choices
Do we think about our source
Or who employs the voices
Which try to shape our course
When we look at where we are
Do we not wonder how we came
To this place of isolation and division

Splendour

The browns and rainbows

Sister of Toil (a farewell to a workmate)
My hoary handed sister of toil
Has left our world of grease and oil
She now inhabits cleaner rooms
With nary a whiff of diesel fumes
No more long lunches in our dusty yard
Nor almost romantic moments 'neath a canopy of cars
Not for her skinned knuckles or broken greasy nails
No more bellicose chuckles at lusty workshop tales
I hear that now she is using Olay, or some othe...

Faubourg NOLA
Sunday night in a small jazz club,
Saxaphone bleating sweetly
And the bass is working up and down my spine
Like a rhythmic masseur.
Serving cocktails,
Seeing drunk people.
Now the saxaphone is braying like a crazy mule.
Drums sticking on nerve endings, like accupuncture pins,
But the piano smooths it out
oil to calm the white caps on stormy seas.
Late night in ...

Birthday Poem
On this auspicious day
All gloom must go away
No brows must be furrowed
No thoughts may be harrowed
All rooms will be light
All outlooks shall be bright
That must be the way
On this
Auspicious
Day
