Long Ennobled Poems

I shall resolve to leave this
Place now...
And steadfastly search out,
Nestling between ridge and bluff
Amidst the folds of a foreign 
Land,
Several acres of unkempt ground
Fallow and rough;
Upon which stands...
Crumbled stone walls
With an exposed slate roof in
Some...

PART 1:          THE MEETING

Alone one night neath lantern light, I trudged a weary mile.
Forlorn, I went with shoulders bent (the storms around me howled)
until I met...

A narrow way
between left-brain dominant history
in wealthy solidarity
with right-brain prominent yin-flow

Heart-touched and nature-tasted
multi-generationally tested
both/and cooperative health
with either/or competing against
stretching
creatively/uncreatively fragmenting ego-integrity potential
for win/win left here/now
with win/lose health/pathology remembering night,
cautioning,
tip-pointing both/and heuristic
holistic
holonic timeless fertile right

Lay down your old ink pen...
Rise from the table...
Push back your chair.
Gather them all up...
Put them out of sight now...
Place them safely in the cupboard 
Bare.
Wrapped in stiff brown paper,
Strung tightly together
With thin white string;
Turn...

And O Life safe art thou, nor yet secure, 
Those averse to danger can scarce shun it, 
It better be braved, let streets be unlit,  
No success walks in on its own for sure....

She was washed up,
Her wings were crumpled,
Her body covered in blood and bruises,
An angel should never look that way.
Oh Lord bless her.

He was washed up,
His wings were cut,
His body a mask of defensive scars,
An angel...

In 1994 I was at a crossroads in my life. I felt desperate-desperate for a job and for work that impassioned me; desperate to change my routine and surroundings; desperate for adventure; desperate to do...

Beneath the deep silence of reason hides a breathless house,
The remains of oblivion, where dreams die like shadows at evening.
My soul weaves its infinity with countless shortcomings,
Heavy shadows of darkness, left in thoughts not ennobled.

INSCRIPTION ON THE MONUMENT OF A NEWFOUNDLAND DOG.

When some proud son of man returns to earth,
Unknown to glory, but upheld by birth,
The sculptor’s art exhausts the pomp of woe,
And storied urns record who rest below;
When...

When it rains, it shines in these radiant beaming eyes of mine.
When it's cold, it's warm in these promised lands I've come afar to farm.
When you're there, I'm right here and there's nothing for us...

Below the veil of twilight, memories sway in the moon's oaring,
Effigies of the departed rise like incense smoke amongst ruins.
They have sprinkled us with pale dreams, and now, flowers of forgetfulness in the yard,
Whisper silver...

From somewhere far beneath,
My father's face is rising to replace my own.
Each year the brightly silvered surface of my mirror
Reveals some other common feature
Pushing its way to the fore.

The silver of the years finds its...

Mother Nature is a book
That holds many lessons.
As God’s works are studied,
Our minds the Holy Spirit broadens.
In these lessons from Mother Nature,
Simplicity and purity they hold;
Lead the soul from secular attractions;
Provide purity and peace like...

Slight ajar, hand on the knob,
I stand from you,
Just a door away
Fighting back tears, bitterly sobbing,
Scarlett eyes;
With veins and everything ready to burst
I endeavour to dismount the beast of propriety and world,
Just to open the...

The mobile offspring's random choice
ennobled by the Doctor's voice
deceased to wit, parental watch
to be or not to be, the catch!

As millions thrust into the void
all life, conserving matters foiled,
while venture elsewise,  extra ~ toiled
embraces...

Where are you hiding little pearl?
Are you caught in the whirl 
of ticker tape and media mania?
Please don’t cower in the wake of opinion.
Like other things every person has one, and
for every negative dissertation,

They came saw and conquered

Geniuses are unique and rare, a kind

divine inspiration and powers of mind,
     women and men whose gifts defy the odds.

Your lovely glance is like first shower of rain

Wiping out my all fears and pain

Deeply grossed in you, in your love I rise

Lost in your love I am no more of mine
