the essential
is light
beautiful
natural
genuine
spontaneous
The twisting of fate
O' these mortal coils,
When shall they learn?
Never is too soon.
It is that which is possessed,
From where power is gleamed.
So that those who have not
Shall remain to be employed.
Heed this warning,
O' potential proprietor.
He who would hold power eternal
Need in this, be covetous.
For if all have control
Then does it not cease to exist?
Nay, this the very cornerstone
Of which all is built.
So break your back,
Work and die under the sun.
Listen not to what I say
So that I may reign eternal.

I am in love with my verses
I love to rhyme in poetic rhymes
with them I cross all universes
Owner of my desires ...
I am direct current,
and Energy Central,
With my own thermostat ...
With inner force, repair
LEVELS OF LOVE DEFECTS
and feeding daydreams ...
My driving force
Come from above, I'm a motor
Metaphysical, Creating Waves
loving ... vibrating
human warmth, though
causing crashes and chills,
Burning calories in love,
I am a vortex
of affection, chakra of tenderness ...
Emanating love, I love so much ...!
We are
essence to essence...
scattered essences
or mixed, equal to
drops of sea...
as sweet rain,
we fall on salty,
then merged
in one water...
Essentially
we are this... !

(Dedication: For Paul Callus)
Time and space dance
Sorrow meets cheer
Sync with tact
Joy ever fades
Nothing much remains
Dust gathers
Joy even tempts
Offers nothing new
Dinosaur bones
Charm feeds
Empty charade
No escapade
Charm leaks
Messy tirade
Lament in loss
Words come
Echoes fling
Not much done
Words leave
Takeaway noise
Not much gain
Write in rhymes
Sign a song
Mind the glitch
Write in lines
Reason a poise
Mind the route
End game pulse
Matching
Point for point
End game tense
Cleaning up
Awkward feel
Haiku nature
Senryu posture
Cinqku textures
Fibonacci pulse
Strain in void
Quantum creation

Listen now
Your heart speaks
Soft whispers
Listen here
Your heart knows
Calm hints
A silence fills
Laughter and tears
Punctuate movement
A silence flows
Notice the gap
In between noise
The mind chatters
Unceasingly
Noise feels empty
The mind splinters
Mountain from molehill
Noise feeds ego
The soul sings
Music and magic
Rapture thrills
The soul plays
Wind through bamboo
Sighs in birdsong
The world twirls
Swirl of seasons
Devoid of reasons
The world seeks
Praise and plenty
Secure in empty
Time and space pun
Humour greets wit
Steer awkward fit
