Success at Last
A lady at a coffee shop was sobbing.
Another lady, a Good Samaritan,
said gently: May I be of help, madam?”
“Not really,” she said, “it’s really nothing.
My husband...an accident...this morning,
fatal, and finally.” “Oh, I am so sorry,”
said the lady offering her sympathy
hoping she might lessen the lady’s grief.
“Oh please, don’t be. My tears

Torquay at last
2025.4.18
Easter Friday, a public holiday,
All the shops was closed so as M Central,
There was no piano.
It was fine by me,
I just had to find an alternative.
Yes, I was going to this place,
My first trip of this year,
With beautiful trees line of pines along the shore.
I came here many times before.
Yes, I went pass Geelong,
Visited and

Real education
starts
when the university
fades
in your rearview mirror
Its nihilistic
narrative
disappearing
in the mist
Umbilically
the ties
are cut
as light
comes rushing in
The wax of
dead
banal professors
— melting in the past

BRIEFLY
On this faithful day
Sudden gunshots everywhere
People running scattered
It's a dispute in my city
Gunshots everyday
So many innocent lives were taken unlawfully
People dies everyday just like mayflies.
Houses were burnt down
Leaving many homeless
Endangering so many lives
Agony everywhere
But the killing continues, no seizing of fire
Participants giving scores within themselves
Scores of

At Last My Heart Sings
At Last My Heart Sings
'Ere the sun sinks
And thy love falls endless
May this moment pause in beauty
To ponder thy kisses
My scarlet rose of love
Betake my spirit truly
As twilight falls gently
At last my heart sings
At last my heart sings

FREE AT LAST
I feel my soul leaving my body free from pain free from the unhappiness at last
I sore through the air laughing no more crying over the sorrows of the past
Touching the stars as I see my tormented life fading away
Screaming at the ghost of my madness to be gone forever and a memory you will

At last the Demond unbound
A Demond bound through the years,
Grew wise amidst silent fears.
He found it a ceremonial thread binding him tight,
The binding force that dimmed his light.
With laughter wild,he tore it free,
Hysterical joy,his spirit's decree.
He leapt with glee,no longer confined,
The numbing bondage left behind.
Yet. as he danced in newfound glee,
A thought arose,a bitter plea:
"What a fool I've been

Sanity at Last
Sanity is in fact the default setting
When dust settles
And dawn rises on a new day
Sober minds and eyes
Waking to see what needs being done
The hard and often dirty work of life
And not the wishful wistful dreams
Of hope and change

ashore at last
Ashore at last
The night in the hallway paled into a yellowish screen
showing a black movie, ca 1963
A time machine of memories sent him back to the years
to meet people long since gone.
A family at the dinner table of people he knew too well
the shadow of his 125-year-old father was not there

At Last
Just a little something
A heartfelt thought or two
A bouquet in the morning
Because I dreamt of you
I dreamt of fields of lilacs
I heard you call my name
I didn't see you anywhere
But towards your voice I came
Then opened up a clearing
I saw you standing there
Perfume emanating
From flowers in your hair
You

Peace at last
If you could see
beyond the skin,
to all my trauma,
buried deep within,
you'd be in awe;
I still manage to grin.
I struggle with sleep;
some days I can't eat,
left feeling empty,
dead on my feet,
yet my aching heart,
still continues to beat.
Some wounds cut deep;
few scars you can see;
most of it I keep,
bottled up in me,
awaiting the day
I'm finally free.
It all
