Cctv Extract

A fire in the kitchen?
I smell of smoke in the hall.
Somebody is very guiltily 
Washing down the wall.
What’s left of the toaster’s
Just a burnt plastic shell.
Some time last night
We almost had a mini hell.

Thank the Lord for CCTV.
A bit of a disturbing sight
He’d come in a bit tipsy
Just after midnight.
Put the toaster on the hob
Switched

Opposites Extract

The ethereal glow only dims to get brighter
The day only darkens to later get lighter
The burden only shrinks to increase my strength
Time only shortens to extend its length

Sometimes we must bleed to know we're alive
Sometimes we must starve before we can thrive
Sometimes we must die to feel our best
Sometimes we must run a marathon before

Night Train To Berlin Extract

I write upon the page 
Words plucked from the air 
The clarity of the moment passes 
My words falter, fade and disappear 
Return a moment later 
Vibrant with life 
Razor sharp and crystal clear, 
The words of an old man 
Half awake  half asleep 
The meandering, ambling words of an old man 
Drifting in

Extract

When yesterday left, today I'm a little right. 
This is a tad bereft, yet full with almight.
Misconceptions or misinterpretations, either way it's confusion. 
Dreaming of incarnations, and snarled in the illusion.
Mass produced Catholics, unforgotten inside their cathedral. 
Discovered some of the relics, 
Ancient talisman are unbelievable. 
Go forth into the tomb,
Open the sarcophagus, let the

For Russians an excellent type of warfare
We will to drink until die out all,
But so enemies will die of lack of air

Extract 11 From What Changes

This change is the only thing that I had no control over
What I discover now is that I never had nor ever will have any control over it
That the stillness was always there
That there was nothing to achieve
That it was always way beyond me
And totally was me, every atom
No, it was never something outside of

Extract 25 From What Changes

It is amazing how the mind and emotions can take us on a journey
In a few moving deeply into some doubt
Or insecurity, vulnerability
Or overwhelmed, weak, inner crumbling
Feel it fully
Why not?
This is reality
And then, when the feelings are still strong
This sense of nothing moving
Nothing has moved
Nothing changed
All as it was
Everything returning to balance
There’s nothing wrong with

Epic Extract

Sing me a sweet song
of brave and heroic men
long ago passed on

(for some unknown reason, this popped into my head…no reason…odd)

Extract of Unhappiness

I have emptyness inside my bristling bones
Filled with sorrow, away, alone
I'm in between the lines of a blank paper
separate from the others, like a skyscraper
Does anyone lend out a hand? 
Does anyone understand?
Only one but he has reasons
to be gone at certain seasons
Will I ever find another friend?
Will I survive till the end?
I grow weiry

sheet sentinels
of bush


observe


a symphony of rain
wavers
a brook Rachmaninoff’s
the clinch of entropy


listen


Pastels of light
reach canopy
painting nature
With one luminous
golden strand

possum
crawling nose
scampers retreat,
as alien scents
reach downwind


become


cockatoo’s
Stark flamingo serenade,
into the pink
disc


wonder


the conjuring
of disrobing life,


its peaceful uproar
savoring
cinnamon specks
waiting future’s call


hope


salt cracks
from my face
at my feet

Childhood Extract

Imagine the weight of the air in that house
which in the summer months would strangle you,
wearing heated gloves. Tough luck.
A gulf of emotion that is always a week ahead;

trying to claw back
a sense of permanence

as it lingers in a cold sweat. Windows
crack with discomfort; the place is dead.
All of those whispering memories
that remind me of
