Long Barrier reef Poems

Depression is like dying
without hope this process will end well,
without remediation
at least not for my closely held ego-identity,
and despair 
this turning inward
creates a cocoon by avoiding outward.

Focal awareness of ego mortality, 
immanent and emanant,
eminent,
turns inward,

Long ago, in an estuary formed by the erosion of a fjord,
There sat a piano made of petrified wood with ivy cords.

It was created by a council of beavers, which governed the waters,
Who used local...

Her name was Ella and his name was Tim;
They lived in a little village on the big island's rim.
Each day in the early dawn they went for their swim;
Just little Ella and big brother Tim.

From beneath foam and spray, where the
Sun light never penetrates, in fathom's chilly forbidden
Realm lies a kingdom of golden coral reefs.
Poseidon’s children of the murky depths dwell, in liberation's
Untamed wilderness of the unknown.
Mermaids and mermen...

Wonder Wonder
I wonder what we left off 
As I sit thinking about the wonders of the world I see that there was one left out
One that shine through the darkness of these Northern Nights
It sails...

A Trip To Belize 

DAY 1

I travel the winding roads of euphony upon the hummingbird highway 
the ancient forests stand proud pulling every dream from with...

A giant magnet for young and old
Its many mysteries to unfold
For dipping toes in ebb and flow
Revealing wonders deep below
Calm and still like mirrored glass
Then raging wild a storm can blast
Giving pleasure, causing grief
Magnificent colour...

Recently I haven’t had my mind in the right set,
had no relief from the anger and grief, 
a time to forget full of regret, 
swept me down like the Barrier Reef. 

It hurts not knowing...

Exploring the suburbs at Melbourne
Glad are the late nights’ burnt

Bustling Bourke Street Mall
Epitome of a retail therapy’s call

The archaic Flinder’s Station
Scheduling warrants attention

Cho-chooing to Sydney
Never costs a kidney

The surmountable Clothes Hanger
Climbing it is not a...

Brenda and Banron bounced slowly on his boat
as the brilliant sun sparkled brightly on the glistening water.
Big and burly he was the boy she sought after in her book.
She smiled bravely as his battered pole...

Most of the time hidden from sight
surrounded by densely thick mist
the island had evolved differently
it was a place of tranquillity

No human foot had ever stepped on it
coral white sands gleaned and sparkled
palm trees waved their...

An island continent down under too grand to just ignore,
A land of coastal water where sandy beaches line the shore,
Ragged range and dusty plain colliding with each other,
A land of inspiring contrast nature took its...

it's you that i want,
 
i want nobody else
though your best-friend has lovely eyes
and adorable features,
her face is full of light,
her heart the softest
of all hearts,
her touch angelic,
her walk majestic
the look in her eyes,
like the...

From the sands of Palm Beach
To Uluru and Barrier Reef,
In the large caverns of Jenolan
When I've climbed on down beneath,
You see I always get this feelin'
No matter what I do,
That I'm a flamin' Aussie
I feel...

On Tour


To dive into the world of the great barrier reef would be enough
assimilating into the tranquil environment somewhere in the Capricorn
looking below while leaping merrily from a bluff
Like a babe in earth's womb, I...

No RIP
For The Great Barrier Reef
No rest and certainly no peace 
We have managed to kill
The oldest life on our planet!
Did I say our planet?
She does not belong to us
But we to her.
She provides for...

What if we lost, the Great Pyramid of Giza?
What if it collapsed, the Roman Coliseum?
What if the Great Wall of China, was suddenly gone?
The Hagia Sophia...was nothing but a song.

What if Stone Henge, had never...

The great barrier reef is amazing
so much there to feast eyes upon
such beauty makes one awe struck
scenes make you magnetically drawn

Such depth and scale in waters deep
so many fish species there to see
as well as...

I am fascinated by a place where the sky meets the sea. 
The line of the horizon. Above it, seagulls, airplanes and the clouds 
are hovering. Beneath is water filled with sharks, 
octopus and deadly...

the red glow so far away
so close, embraced
the burst of innervated dawn
restraining its awe

the uplift of a lemony-spring
sponge-squeezed from the sudsy sun
the faucet of quiet waters turned off
the aura of a red and white sail...
