Moon And Stars
Looking out my back door as the day slowly dies
the sun bleeding colours across the endless skies
of all the hopes I ever had
I never knew would come through
I was hoping for something would show me what to do
watching from my window the night was on the rise
the moon spreading silver above the cloudy skies
of all...

The Mask of Her LoveShe does not love you.
She loves what you give her—
And when that gift fades, so too does her affection.
The modern man, deluded by poets and preachers,
Believes that love is salvation.
No—
Love is slavery wrapped in perfume.
She smiles when you provide,
Cries when you delay,
Withholds warmth to bend your spine.
And you—
Grateful for her cold embrace—
Call it passion.
You sign...

Light: A Spiritual Interdisciplinary InquiryWhen God said
“Let there be light”
Was it meant literally or metaphorically?
Did time arise crafting the photon
with the intent
of illuminating the basis of reality?
An observational lens providing the closest assumption of truth?
Or did the limit of human consciousness take precedence.
Therefore, implying we needed to be saved from the void of ignorance,
as light is the transference...

One Good Deed
People come and people go
and how the times do change
but something here needs to be done
it should be rearranged
preachers pundits politicians
won't ever set things right
the man in the street can make a difference
if he takes up the fight
so many souls lost at sea
tho' they're on dry land
action speaks louder than words
they need a helping hand

The Boiling Point
(A poem based on the lesson of strength, change, and choice)
She said, "I'm tired, this life’s too tough,
The road is rocky, the ride is rough."
Her father smiled, and with no word,
Walked to the kitchen...silent, unheard.
He placed three pots on fire that day,
With boiling water in each to stay.
A potato in one, so firm and round,
An...

Yesterdays
The shuttlecock's not got a feather
my balls have lost their tether
yo-yo and hula hoop have gone for a loop
chasing rainbow's become a boring chore
in any kind of weather
and me I fling and fly frisbees no more
as now there's come the day
when games and music I can't play
the fiddle has a broken bow
out of wind such...

Politically Speaking
A word or two about my view of the politicians
we presumably put in positions of power
hobbyists bought and paid for under the table
catering to manipulating lobbyists by the hour
where saying nothing yet flapping their gums
offending no one when sitting on the fence
doing naught but wagging their tongues
and all the while protesting their innocence
self-serving landing votes...

Britannia Rule
As an Englishman's home
is his castle,
I abide in my own abode
part and parcel,
but as I'm always being told,
by the trouble and strife
(Cockney for 'wife'),
how to behave
in my own house,
whenever the rules I waive,
I must ask, I have to say,
"Why am I not Lord
of all that which I survey?"

Onward And Upward
Until it's time to pop my clogs,
shuffle off this mortal coil,
I'll ensure my life is fun-filled
not just daily drudgery and toil.
As all work and no play
would make me one dull boy,
listless, senseless, bored witless,
not my Mother's pride and joy.
And so, in closing, I'm compelled to say,
"Exercise free will,
don't wait, hesitate or trust to fate,
before you're...

Tonight I Cried
Tonight I cried.
The silence after giving was louder than my music ever dared to be.
Six cards, six names—none turned toward me.
I asked why. The void answered with its back.
Tonight I walked into the open like a soldier with no armor.
The wind was a warning. The world—cold, familiar....

Don't ForgetThere's no ill will
No wanting for revenge
I don't want her to hurt
Don't even want her to regret
I just want her to think
To remember now and then
Please don't forget
Don't lose the memory of my face
Remember how you felt
Not the love or chemistry
But remember being safe
Anchored in the storm
I don't want her to be sad
That would not...

I REALLY HATE YOU!Cancer
I loathe and detest you
If I'm honest, I really HATE you
I despise the way
You keep popping up to irritate us
like a smirking floating turd
Which we’d love to flush away forever
Attempts were made to eradicate you
Skilled surgeons tried to cut you out
But you were like a ‘cling on’ in the toilet of life
And you wouldn’t...

Rock Bottom
You know you've hit rock bottom for sure
when you find your track
in a used record store
under a stack at the very back
of the ten pee CD rack
(does anyone buy them anymore?)
and you know you've hit the all-time low
it's a sure bet
when you don't see your song
in any list at all
on the worldwide internet
rock bottom don't...

Reading Material
Another chapter in my life
over much too soon
when there's so much more to live
it's just not opportune
but is Anonymous the author
or would it be myself possibly
writing this tale so true
could it be an autobiography
and yet I won't be put on hold
my one and only guarantee
tho' late won't be overdue
when it's check out time for me
for...

Deep Down
When I see the darkness, I see the Qliphoth,
Each shadow mirrors the fire I’ve crossed.
A soul forged where mercy is lost—
I rise from Hell with no fear of cost.
They say I walk with devils and flame,
That I’ve chosen a path of whispers and shame. ...
