Chatham Ave

  I walked down the track 
                in the afternoon
  ten years of memories 
               cut in too soon.
  I started to sweat, 
                  I had no room,
  and overhead
                  a sonic boom.
  It’s far too early 
               to ask the moon
  just what the fu*k
              am I doing here.

  We reminisce 
              a thousand times 
  of drinking, swimming, 
                 blowing minds.
  Meeting people,
                friendships bind
  sitting under 
        those massive pines.
  Contemplating, 
                rehearsing lines
  but can’t you see 
             I don’t want this?

  Sure, I remember 
                  the early days,
  the barbecues, 
            the summer haze,
  the rising tides 
             in mangrove bays -
  constant laughter 
         and bloodshot gaze,
  but I tell myself it 
              was just a phase...
  and at thirty-three 
              I’m beyond that.


         Written: 1993

               ———

At the end of Chatham Ave lies a public reserve 
or park on the shores of the upper Waitemata
Harbour in Paremoremo, just north of Auckland
in New Zealand. A time and place of no return.

1717 Scripture Ave

I want a girl who rides with me on Sunday mornings
Because everything about her says take me to church
Curves make me yell preach
We a little late but she says a queen always arrives on time
The service is touching my heart, but I keep checking my watch for the time
Because I just want to touch your soul with my lips 
Honestly your body has become meditation for me, and I just want to say a little prayer in the comfort of our home
Your walls a sanctuary, sacred, symbolizing the synchronization of our holy matrimony 
You look so good in that dress, but my favorite part is letting my teeth undress 
You,
Got me on my heels in them heels but I’ll still have you speaking in tongues
Tied like my bow tie, slick in these pants but never slacking
Your body is a sermon and I’m ready to preach
Memorizing every curvature like the scriptures indeed
You’re aging like fine wine
I still marvel at the congregation of you like I’m admiring a sculpture in marble 
The shadows, the reflected light, the message of your art reminds me of a Sunday
If she takes you to church turn to your neighbor and say,
p.s. Amen…

Ave Maria

Hail holy queen
Mother of compassion
With a beauty that's rarely 
seen
Mother of all nation
With a heart full of love
She's the queen of heaven
That blesses her children 
from above
And takes away their heavy 
burden.
She's the mother of our 
saviour
Created with an 
immaculate heart
A priceless heart full of love 
beyond measure
That restore hope to those 
whose lives have been tore 
apart.
Mother of divine grace
That incarnate the only 
begotten son
And gave birth to 
redemption for the sake of 
human race
A price that can be paid by 
none.
She's the queen of the holy 
rosary
And mother of perpetual 
goodness
That defeat every misery
And brings everlasting 
happiness.
Mother of theological and 
cardinal virtues
And refuge of sinners
With an angelic love you 
can't refuse
That makes her children 
winners.
She's the queen of peace
And mother of good council
With her peace never on a 
lease
To those whose lives have 
been on a down hill.
She's the seat of wisdom
And the gateway to heaven
For she's the queen of 
GOD'S kingdom
And amazing like the stars 
of heaven.
She's GOD'S immaculate 
creation
Conceived without original 
sin
Mother of all nation
With a loving heart never 
been seen.
She's the mother of all 
mothers
With a heart full of mercy
An epitome of good morals
With the fate of the world at 
her mercy.

Premium Member Ave Maria

Gentle as motherly wind, your sacred place
Children we are embraced by a warm caress
Oh Ave Maria, filled with love around;
Bestowing us gifts of peace through times blessed. 

No unfinished trials here, or short mown days
As a guiding hand protects our daily tread,
While we implore the Angelus by heart
Your presence sprays beads of comfort overhead.

Feminine god of mercy, Crown of all souls
Your tender strength abides within, like the night
That imbues a power of wholeness in us;
Collecting our tears  with serenity’s delight.

Though worries may crumble under seasons’ rain
Ave Maria, such grace plods hearts to row
By lifting us with a message from your breath,
A whisper that overcomes life’s Lent, we glow!
