Like a Mick Jagger
I got a problem, it’s with my son.
He seems so different, the odd one.
It’s not unusual with lads his age.
They’re going through so many emotions at that phase.

Finishing Excitements in Living LifeOf many Trails walked
Many lie in new awesome
Lucid wonderment's.
Unexpected Gates
Found in curious dreaming's
Trails for exploring…
More, than I thought known
More, then I can understand
Add to living life.
Beyond... just 3D
Imagination’s trails
Other Sun’s shining
From free...

When there's not much of me left?
When I'm faded,
Like a rock chipped away by erosion.
Would you remember me
When you're almost unrecognisable?
When I don't think I know who you are anymore;
Like a tree...

Heart gentle eye mindfulIdeality; the quality of being ideal.
That’s what I mean when I say ‘My heart
Resonates with gentle colours of feathers while
My eye is cautious of twigs with thorns and twigs
With small glints of flames on...

The ExcavationI profess that, my heart,
entombed,
as it might appear,
knows not another way,
other than to find warmth,
in the sorrow of my breath,
broken softly, by each word,
I use, to attempt and explain,
how I feel, on any...

This damned speck here is so irritating
I’ll try and cover it to find some peace
The only resolution I have is to calcify
It’ll take some time, but at least I’ll try
Hopefully then, this itching will cease

Man and JinnMy mind had always wondered of those we live among,
too many times I heard the tales and even learned the song.

The Victim, The Thief, And The JudgeI
Twisted chains bite deep
Terrorizing the flesh
And making it cry
A small beam of light
In an otherwise dark room
All that one could cling to
The steady drip, drip, drip
But the light provides little warmth
In the face of biting...

Girl with a pearl earring
I’m struck by the stark contrast
of her image
which leaps out
against a black background
Meeting the gaze
of her piercing blue eyes

A colourful teal and gold turban
