The brevity of time in space
a moment may trice an instant
in your lifetime can't be measured
nor your species, your world, nor of
your sun's lifetime, for tis the absolute
measure of infinity ... it is you who is the

It seems humour is much appreciated
In this troubled world we live in
So I will continue to send out the giggles
Seems like there's not a lot of us
That write with a lighter touch
Which matches my personal approach to life
We're all just rushing to that glorious meeting
Way up yonder amongst the stars
Well I've still got some unfinished business
Down here before I make that inevitable trip
I still have my final act to go
Believe me, I'm having the time of my life
I wondered what I was going to do
To while away the hours when I retire
Poetry was the furthest thing on my mind
So with your blessings, once again
I shall continue to send out the giggles

In the indigo infinitum of your seamless sky
I am like a beguiled bird
Serene I remain in the surging storm
Within your fervent fold
You won’t let it wriggle my whispering wings
In the yonder firmament of your yearning
I will forever fly.

A bird, I fly in the azure infinitum of your seamless sky,
when the clouds carry the storm, so assured I remain,
you won’t let it wriggle my whispering wings, I won’t cry,
for in your heart's fervent firmament I will soar again.

Driving down the road of life.
There is pleasure.There is strife.
Walking through the trail of years.
There are hopes.There are fears.
Floating in the sky of dreams.
There are whispers.There are screams.
Sailing on the ship of fate.
There is love.There is hate.

For every yang,there's an opposing yin.
From birth to death,so many twists and turns.
From death to birth,we process what we've learned.
It's all as simple as a circle's bend.
There's no beginning.There is no end.
Every coin is tails and heads.
Every soul is life and death.
One half shows.One half hides.
We can't see the other side.

How sad, to be lost in a world where it is ever dark.
How tragic, to not see art.
To sink, when petals float,
to think, when the heart already knows.
I dived deep within your chest,
drowned proudly, in peaceful death.
Only to write for yet another soul,
that I tasted, but had to let go.
For this life, my sins redemption.
Born again, to live for you.
Give me liberty, give me breath,
give me freedom, out of this chest.
and again I swim in the memory of you.
No longer whole, as ink drips to tell it true.
Until the day it dries, it will be poetry and art,
to remember a man that had gifted a heart.

"Through Windows Abstract Ad Infinitum"
Ascending plural through the Sun
becomes One
Seen through different windows
Seams sewn in souls strung like pearls cast out into the world
Everyone is written into The Story, all accounted for, not gone unsung
Sun through the plural Ascending
One becomes
Windows different, though seen

The sanctity of life but a dream man hangs his hat on
for life has no meaning, more or less, than that which it is given
Breath breed excrete die Ad infinitum
Hero's, heroines, heroism and cowardice are but words, meant to draw lines,
odd imperfect over coats for the squirming upright worms of man.
To die, more or less, a coward or a hero, is still to die.
To rot in a garden gifted with sunlight, to re-toil in the recoil
of the curve ball sent, hither and yon, by the big Mac in the sky.
Blinded by the senses of a two legged critters with opposing thumbs
who can see, could see, but won’t see… who whine and cry
at the loss of even one sense…can the deaf not hear,
of course they can, with every stomp of the foot, every pulse of heat
inducing current, they hear what we hearing impaired don’t.
And the sightless see, with nose and hands and taste buds overblown.
Home grown, a gift placed for every sorrow, so, replace life with death,
death with life, dark with light, hate with love …no matter,
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction
Nothing ever changes.
