Star ChildLate at night
or on the threshold of another dream,
I power up my time machine
and travel over the temple tops
of an as yet unchartered heaven.
The mind flips over
as if some spectral hand
was turning over a giant tortoise shell,
the inner carapace is mapped,
and I see that an adventurous wanderer
has been here before me.
Before the light illuminated the...

To CancerYour presence is unbidden,
silent as a sleeping cat,
you're cancer.
Clothed in robes of despondency,
of deep tolling knells.
Yet, there's flowering hope
of exultation,
rising into another star-blessed
dawn.
You cannot, you will not dampen dreams,
they are always created,
nurtured from their infancy,
delivered into limitless life,
so treasured from a child's free mind,
as vast, as pristine as the universe.
Then, like pure doves they...

Her little light
The colours of the world have faded
My life, I would of traded
She was taken to soon
Her time on Earth a fleeting tune
Only three brief years she knew
Now, she’s gone from our view
The world feels black and white
Without her shining light
Too young, too precious, too sweet
In her absence, life feels incomplete
She should be here, by my...

What If He Says That to Our Daughter-In the dead of night, when the world is silent, her whispers haunt the shadows of my mind.
“Daddy, I’m so tired… I don’t want to be here anymore.”
Her small voice, trembling like a ghost, echoes in my heart — a chilling reminder of the fragile life we’re trying to hold together.
Late at night,
when silence drapes...

Alive, But Gone
I love you both with all my heart,
But Mum, you tore that love apart.
You made me choose, you made me cry,
While Dad was left to wonder why.
You spoke of him with poisoned tongue,
Bad words for ears still far too young.
You painted him in shades of wrong,
And made me feel I don’t belong.
He wasn’t perfect, neither...

Alone in the Cemetery
"...Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. [7] Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it." ~Ecclesiastes 12:6-7 KJV Bible

A cemetery of sortsContest: Cemetery

They called him wild although he hardly spoke.
Remote to them to breathe electric air.
He moaned in thought before the plastic broke.
A soundless pressure wound too tight to bear.
Each toy held codes he opened to translate.
He was not mean but simply born to ask.
No answers came from objects he’d ablate.
Limbs scattered...

FreedomThe say we are free but, our is hearts is at consciousness.
Thou mind is travelling the universe looking for freedom.
Hope is lost through the environment.
Our hearts are playing with fire, thou hateness is among us.
Why the colour of our skin try to define us.
Why our souls can't live with peace where freedom is available.
Hope...

They say heaven gained another angel when someone dies
But when it comes to the death of black lives
We say the universe gained another star
Because to us
It represents their light and love
Shining down from above
Each star a story of loss
Each star a story of pain
Each star a symbol of what being black costs
Each star...

Society's Treasure
Precious gifts, society's treasures,
Gifted from above, joy's warm glow.
Aged hearts find solace, homes filled with glee,
Yet harm them, and harm yourself, a truth to see.
Forgiving and gentle, they shine radiant,
In a twinkling, conflicts fade in a moment.
Jesus' wisdom resounds: learn from their paths,
Tend them with care, and blessings will bloom.
Guardians of innocence, counselors of heart,
Parents,...

Is God is watching?God is watching you. He is watching me
Whether you are a believer or godless
He is ringing the dinner bell, come home
Heaven's table is crowded with the dead
Stay away a little longer to make room
Don’t do anything to shorten your life
Don’t be in the wrong place at the wrong time
He doesn't seem to care if you...
