Wings of rushing waterfalls, winds of alcoholic breath.
They yearn to take flight, to frighten...

Bugs near and far from the farm swarm
Got my own style and art form

People trying to help and others with no regard for
One another, events in...

Mr. Dartboard Dummy,
Oh, yes, that be me...
Hung the dartboard on the room's door,
One that opened out,
Toss a dart, when someone enters,

Hope in my heart never fails to cease, 
It triumphs over pain,victories these, 
The butterflies in my stomach flutter.. 
Picked one,held her wings and cut her. 

You said her name,and then the silence 
Pain triumphed...

As I take my palette of words
Wondering which shall I first use
A portrait of my self
I would not wish to abuse

That has been learnt the hard way
My feet are on the ground

I remember the smell of beer
going down the back steps
The keg under the dartboard
the men in long sleeves
Being carried by my grandfather
and each uncle one by one
Old Spice and English Lavender
as hugs and kisses were...

it's true, I just don't have what it takes to belong

I look up high, the stars return the stare
Of a polite sight, quiet everywhere
The largest stars bleed onto the skyscape
Rolling black velvet with its light escape

Some three trees extend their heights before me
Showered by raining...

This year my wife bought us personalised gifts
In order to heal little family rifts
Her sister was flattered and gave her a hug
When she found her face on a bone china mug
Her Dad kissed her cheek,...
