shoes untied,
hair uncombed,
just a run away,
no way to belong;
walking the streets so all alone
tattered clothes, ransack home;

Follow your brain and nurture strain and pain beyond measure.

Howl at the precious Moon
Drink til you make her swoon

if you're willing to put up the fight.

Never fall backwards,
Learn how to land,
Always...

The urge to travel,
to spread your wings and fly away,
never rooted to one spot.
never spotted on  a route.

Intuition in ascendence,
as day and night blur anaemic...

A reminder of the suffering …people less fortunate.

I searched for you in the night's dimmest light
Found quiet loneliness stirring in the dark
The moon's passing covered by clouds in flight
As it slowly traveled its nightly arc
This companion listened but never heard
The words pouring...

When despair and distraught go hand in hand
When you feel like you're crashing
And there's nowhere to land
You have a soft place to fall.
When agony and defeat are your closest friends
And the river of tears
Never seems...

On a secret journey she has long been 
walking in the dark alley of her lonely life
losing the fragile sanctity to the flood of strife
drowns deep within the sucking cesspool of sin.

I am just a tree
So be my taproot
Not leaves that fall
When seasons shoot
Their bullets of fall

I am just a man
So be my life
Not a wife that flees
When things strike
Like stings of bees

I am just a...

Where touch disowns
The seed unsown


The wind whispers

A kind heart here
That dwells unseen


The cause invokes
A touch...

Blankets hang like obese bats
from sleeping arms.
Is it the bewitching hour?
No it is 4 o'clock.

just the rumblings of a disordered soul.
Snippets of...

whose birthmark disowns
A life spent indentured
his spirit on loan

unable to leave
The future in chains 
contentment bereaved

A child of the moment
left on the streets
Time as his captor
in shoes of...

'I won't walk on it', says

She is afraid to tread on the land,
Our ancestral acres,
Now reduced to a mossy backyard.
