The bus station is empty,
three hours to wait.

The girl behind the counter,
long black hair hanging in ringlets,
stares lazily as we approach.
"May I help you?"

The homeless man wanders in slowly,
takes a seat on the opposite 
side of the room, facing the wall-
escapes through sleep. 

Hours pass;...

Take a piece of childhood,
Beaten by a dad.
Although you only beat them,
When you know that they’ve been bad.

Take a slice of living,
Not protected by a mum.
It’s only fair to leave a mark,
To punish what they’ve done.

Take a term of school time,
Where masters had a cane.
And...

A slice of life / a day in the life

Out in the elements – almost every day, training,
weather, sunshine, cloudy – B. C. fate – raining.
Seventy five reps, twenty times over my head,
on my back, thirty bench presses I’m fed
then onto twenty curls and I’m...

Life is as precious
As a rose, so beautiful!
And the slice of life
Tastes sweeter than
A cherry so sweet.
In the midst of life,
Myriads of lemons squeezed 
Make lemonade,
Keeping us all infinitely thirsty. 
God willing, we'll keep on
Quenching that thirst
For years and years to come.
In the final hour

He uses brickstones of Self-confidence
   To build himself a tall pedestal
         —that others may see

This rainy  morning you gave me a feel of your flower
Thank you I want to give you a poem in return
Soaked in  pleasant smell of the showers
I like your eyes going through these words from green fern

Thank you I want to give you...

It’s summer on the hill
With Day Lilies surrounding the house
Hummingbirds buzzing and chirping
Other birdsongs warbling in the trees
The black bear wandered slowly by
Then, rushed into the woods from noise
Shades of green everywhere to see
A slice of life, a peaceful place to be
As if the rest...

We are all on borrowed time
Yet we constantly search for
The next step in our climb 

Ponder pausing the pursing 
Taking a moment to slow down
To divert us from all the doing 

May realize how blessed we are 
Rejoiced to relish in the present 
In lieu...

Mistakes are trophies
acting like hapless failures
when they're treasures

Flaws are enticing,
everything real gets damaged
not struggling with age

Pain is beautiful
if tears become diamonds
instead of weapons

awakened by
the cool drop
o temperature
in the room
across my face
and just as
suddenly 
greeted by
the warmth
of the blanket

as comforting
as a hug and
as soothing
as a cup of tea
and reading
a good book...
