The Greatest Gift Given15 years old.

undertow of reality slapping
my fragility cold –

movement always finds its way)
O’, how the lies twist!
Twist like the dusty branches

LeverageI am the wrench in the clockwork,
a tiny twist in the gears of a universe
too vast to notice my pinch,
yet enough to reroute the cascade—
leverage, a quiet conspiracy of small forces.
Like a catapult built from...

You Can Lead a RepublicanYou Can Lead a Republican to our Constitution
(But You Can’t Make Him Think)
Though fools claim love for Constitution, ‘Founders’ floundered on its beach.
“One man! One vote!” ‘God’s revelation! ‘Women,’ ‘slaves’ vote? Who can teach?

An Open Letter to the Flat Earth SocietyDo you sometimes use GPS
To navigate your flat world?
Did you ever wonder how all those satellites
Get around to the underside?
Do you use a flush toilet
Or a siphon?
See, fluids can sometimes run uphill.
Your “the Amazon River...

Prayer and Reflection“prayer” & reflection
clasping hands together,
getting down on their knees,
squinting eyes closed
(in decent lighting which certainly
doesn’t call for such action),
concentrating on that thing inside
the most irrationally desperate parts of
their mind,
they begin to talk to themselves,
be it...

Hungry CloudsClouds
Cumulous, dense, fluffy, gorgeous

Intensely desirous like the light for the cave
Or the river from the mountain on the valley
Though black, gray and white near the shore
Deep inside the core

AloneMeeting you just felt so right
We matched
Like cookies and cream
Sparks flew
Bliss summed up in a kiss
Who said love at first sight
Was only a myth?
But emotional love can't always hold water
We began to fight
Things got heated
Chaise...

ImaginationAfter Kindy
little kids
wait with mums
at the big kids’ school:
Chat-time,
there and back time;
big-tree shade,
dust and long leaves,
water in cages –
shiny bubblers,
hot black play-ground,
bench-seats
low down.
Liz is back and sobbing,
Mum says, ‘What’s the matter?
Wipe the tears.
Blow...

Water the Element of CreationWater covers three quarters of the earth,
And provides for life that's diverse,
It is an absolute requisite for life,
And it's precipitation as rain,
Is what keeps this planet sane.
Without its hydration,
All living beings energy is drained.

I Have SinnedI have sinned, friend.
But my sin is not a God
To smother my Divinity.
Innate, alive
God writhes within me,
A burning fire
A tripartite light.
How low I sank
I may not tell
But in the muddy
Fires of Hell
Is not my destination.

Watering Time
stepping
I skid
to my lips
I sip
on my boat
I skip
from my arms
I drip
I dive through
I zip
my hands grasp
I slip
bucket with leak
won't fill
my story
doesn't hold water
truth that's weak
leaks out.
water like time,
slips, slides away, can't be held
