the miracle...

My Son,

There will be times in your life, when you won't want to go on.

Gardner's Bees
School holidays were testing times for Mum’s with things we done,
when us kids had idle time to chase the values of new fun.
We’d trained our dogs, built bushland huts, chased rabbits; camped at night.

My Name
My name was picked by my mother
Shared with brother, changed by grandmother, leaving me to uncover the truth from another
Not her so I suffered 
My name means Honesty, Sacrificer, and Admirer.

When the Gods Visited
When the gods visited in their ragalia,
We were like those that were dreaming.
We  walked in the shadow of our stupidity,
We Danced without legs in the public
Because thousands of our smiles were missing
And our white...

I met my big brother only recently
but he had been keeping tabs on me.
We were separated as children from a brutal crime scene.
We witnessed our mother's slaughter most brutally.
Two days we spent in her pool...

As the dust burns my weary eyes
I push on and compromise 

Looking for a long lost dream 
Of swimming through the waters clean

Bombs echoing in the distance
Dead and gone in an instance

Vacation Day 1
I sat in a meditative state
Released everything inside
Hollowed out my being
For a single parent whose son had died

I drove a thoughtless road
Until my destination was in view
Roger was crying in the shop
I didn't know what...

Disorder
Skin pulled tight over gaunt faces,
hollow eyes looking out at me,

dreading pity,
empathy,
apathy,
wanting form me

an ear i’ve given  too many times
from those too many times
so tired is this ear
that...

I watch you breathe in.
I watch you breathe out.
My entire world is trapped in plastic.
I’m surrounded by the sound of oxygen machines.

I Will Carry On
When we were younger
Our hearts and hands had melded
And brightened up a world

Then in winter, came snowstorms
And lightning, to burn up our shelter
A dragon roaring proud

So we were dashed, were broken
A nasty scar formed upon...

I remember Buster outside the old post office.
He was selling newspapers but mostly just giving you a smile.
