Long Compasses Poems

A dream of a Rainbow coloured family

In the ocean there is a raging storm 
And a lot of boats 
With rudders that are shattered,
Compasses lost, sails that are torn.
And dreams that are faded or tattered
With...

and the future appears hospitable,
everyone has their rations, everybody is resting their pride
for on an expedition epic to each man and for a republic as well

For those who walk Your chosen way a world of dreams its glamour throws!
So be it then, so let us pass, let other nations hold the sway—
When we are gone, reproach us not that tawhid...

Love has us immeresed,
in an endless fathom.
Like tears that fall to the sea.
A symbol of loves' fleeting-
Phantom- 
bemused unto the deep.

Our understanding, 
a shifting current,
carrying us to some far shore-
Between summit and sands,
of the Isle...

"What is my role?" I asked.
"You are part of the crew," he said, not the captain as I was told.

Oh the images we freeze in time

the sweet, sweet scents that bring recall

the sharp and painful longing that belongings bring

for those lost or lingering on sheets of lavender

on shelves of shaving mugs - Old Spice

uniting farcical flocks all over the world,
gregarious garments, talismans & 
little good luck charms required by religions
to ward off “evil spirits,” to separate man
from “god,” or to just protect the fuzzy sheep

For a great distance, they had walked through rain that had splashed
so long, and so hard, that everything was turning white.
The downpour continued steadily through day...

I wonder if THC
and our Holy Cooperative Spirit
could be cousins
like Grandmother Moon
and Grandmother Tree.

Why do you want to wonder 
about something as curious as that,

Ice Ages Come With Colder Days
By February March moves on to centuries
Still the sky comes laden with atmospheric vapor
As light as ice, clouds abundance falls to the ground
As thaw fails to gather life’s potential 

If nature could take her pulse...

The moments we share are a gift,
uniquely qualified.
A magnetic shift, of consciousness, 
of honed homing sense equalized.

Through the protective layers it
sifts, like the hungry for a meal.
Moments weigh us in the balance
like a scale, 
scaling...

A compass is an instrument that guides.
Using this technology the ancients followed the stars outside.
We as Christians in this world have lost our moral compass.
Teaching vulgar subjects in schools, our true faith is in the...

n Dublin’s grand theatre, where dreams alight,
A hush fell over the expectant crowd that night.
Bucks Fizz stepped forth, hearts aflutter,
Their song, a secret spell, ready to utter.

The melody wove through the air like silk,
A tapestry...

Let’s scale heights
Let’s leap over buildings
Let’s skid over roof tiles
Let’s stay out of sight
Wear masks, a cape
Carry weapons of our choice

Let’s pretend to be kings
Wear a crown of paper
Assume we are the entitled
Wave sticks instead...

Surely, Sherlock was rooted in the home.
But his ruby slippers
Had worn-out souls
So the jaded detective
Followed Fitzgerald and the lost generation.
But somewhere in between chapters
And the thicket of printed syllables,
He took a wrong turn
And found himself...

On the loom of existence, our saga unfolds, 
Lives woven in controversy; a story is told. 
A symphony of chaos, a dance of extremes, 
A canvas painted with a myriad of dreams.
