I went cruising to Norway with my wife across the North Sea
We travelled the route the Vikings took but with added luxury
Our first port of call was Stavanger, it was nice to be on dry...

rain hitting the asphalt, the cracking concrete, water weaving
its way down the overpass. Residents cover up with plastic,
a conflagration of yellow light on garbage bags
hitting tree tops, branches, leaves old and new. Boughs
sagging with the...

Learn to heed the warning
of queer and ominous tale
the weird of Solomon Crowley 
his madness and long bewail

Once deemed as prominent prince 
sullen noble becomes fallen wanderer
deepest rages drive burning thirst
the burden of daily desire

I've dreamed of something special for quite some time,
a vacation I've envisioned that would be simply sublime.
I'll be leaving from Miami on a round-the-world cruise
and I reserved a balcony room to enjoy the scenic views.

I'll...

We had just got married - was the month of June
This is the saga of our disastrous honeymoon

We started off in a hotel in Norwich
The bedding was itchy just like doing ‘porridge’

Back home to Birmingham...

In the arctic frozen sky of the enchanting land the midnight sun
leans on the horizon briefly in bright summer and again it rises,
I didn’t know when a new day actually would have or had begun.

So sailed they then o'er seas well spent~ 
Torn their skys & mastheads back bent~ 
Under their bowsprits well to a'sea~ 
From ravages o'wind did'st they then flee~ 

Down from their bulwarks & under their...

I always take the lead and have never in life been lead.
In the mornings I walk Jess, at night I drink rum, eat bread
But when...

Let me tell you a story…

In the arctic sky of scenic Norway the midnight sun  
leaned briefly on the horizon in summer to again rise,
not known when new day would actually have begun,

Athens, quite a place, so full of mythology
Buenos Aires, in Argentina, a place I'd love to see

Canberra, is just antipodean class
Dublin, a pint of Guinness in a glass

Edinburgh, the capital of the Scots
Freetown, a city,...

On a grassy verge above the surging rill 
she stood fair haired and proud,
three leaf clover substrate at her toes.
Clutching saline bouquets I had plucked 
from my neighbours walk-in green house.
Woman of resplendent peerage cast...

Tasting the breeze 
High in the clouds she glides
Fjords far below 
Ebbing and flowing on tides
White sanded beaches 
Skirt azure blue waters
Sheep tread the hillsides 
On green rolling pastures

Peaks on mountains 
Still capped with soft...

Mariners in our wanderlust,
We sail beyond the horizon’s curve.
Fearful, we dare the briny deep
Out of faith in the dreams we serve.

Rough-hewn by years of knots and coils,
Our hands hoist up the canvass sails,
In the ways...

In heaven's grace the stars illuminate God's eternity

She cannot touch them with her fingertips they are too far away
What wondrous glory fills her with desire's joy...

A man from the "Land of the Midnight Sun,"
Where the fjords rose and the sky danced around.
He set sail on a ship at sea,
While a twinkling star bore the name "Sandra Jean."

Although He had not...

Many miles away, a mammoth journey to complete
Travelling by stealth, incognito, alone by wise choice
Hazy memories of his homeland and boyhood street
Friendless these lean years, no recognition to rejoice

Mercenary factions control his vagabond life

Iron heart; cage no free thinker.
Iron maiden has never gone away.
Question everything; search forever deeper.
In the end we are all looking to find away.


Plastic heart; turn the vinyl record on.
Croaking voices, broken strings; leave us…

High upon a platform, she dwells among two spheres
Her people mumble strange like chants, that rumble in salt air
The wizened Seidr woman, beyond her fertile years
will hold a staff, against her knees, in regard above...
