Premium Member Biography

My biography speaks easy gains;
Mind photography in words said plain.

I journey here to sing and dance
To fling fond cheer in tact and chance.

I weave magic in verse and poise
To string antics in voice and choice.

My lifestyle speaks of form and wit;
Heart humours peak that message fits.

I live my best with smiles and tears
To love sure quest as faith frees fear.

I learn to feed each need and urge
To know each seed in feel and surge.

My posture frames a sense I see;
Soul knows the same truth and beauty.

I linger here by eastern shores
To live with cheer that sizzles more.

I tell my tale with reach that tells
A mindful sale that works out well.

My spirit sings inspired thought;
Form comes to be with play and plot.

I am a man who understands
To screen and scan both brand and trend.

I am a soul with body-mind
To love one whole with life I find.

My moments here speak of finesse;
My code I steer with charming zest.

I am a man who lives with joy
To love and plan and embrace ploys.

I am good cheer spiced with grandeur
Right now and here as soul splendour.

My memory reminds fond tact;
Feelings set free pure cause and pact.

Touch the Stars

Gentle hands caress the golden flame 
your kiss inflame's the passion of my soul 
touch the stars and sing your lovers praise

With work the house hold duty's come and go
the more we do the more our love does grow
Gentle hands caress the golden flame

Respect is gained from efforts on both sides 
neither one a slave well others hide
touch the stars and sing your lovers praise

He cooks and then he cleans up all his mess
She works from nine to five and does not rest
Gentle hands caress the golden flame

We are a couple built to make it last
we love the gentle touch and giggle songs
touch the stars and sing your lovers praise 

In life respect is earned from working hard
the gentle love is gained from humours games
Gentle hands caress the golden flame
touch the stars and sing your lovers praise

Premium Member A Good Sense Of Humour Blunts The Sharp Blades Of Reality

Razor sharp reality creates the deepest wounds.
Heartbreak bleeds through the tears of the soul
Blanking the mind, making life a blur
While we seek to find a way to make ourselves whole.

There's no such thing as convenient times.
Reality will strike without warning signs.

So what can we do to blunt these blades?
We must find a way that is not in vain.
The wields of reality we cannot evade.
So let's find a way to dance through our pain.

Laughter is said to be balm for the soul.
A good sense of humour can shrink our hole.

A former victim of bullying
Can laugh, looking back,
At the foolishness betrayed
By those who chose to attack.

Losing loved ones, the sharpest cut of all,
Can inspire you to smile at things quite small.

Was there something in their manner
That caused you to giggle?
Was there a particular phrase they used
Or their shuffle or wiggle?

Sometimes comedians can turn a phrase
That leaves you drifting in humours haze.

Humour can be a distraction.
It can help you process, help you hope.
Humour lights up the pathway
So in dark places we can cope.

A surprising paradox we come to find
Humour blunts blades while sharpening minds!

Cherish the value of humour.
For it can be your special key.
A good sense of humour blunts
The sharp blades of reality.

Premium Member The Element Earth

In ancient Greek philosophy
			and science, Earth was named as one
			of a quartet of elements.
			The other three of great import,
			we're taught, were water, air, and fire.

			The ancients named four "humours," one
			to parallel each element.
			Black bile was most like earth--described
			as heavy, cold, and dry. These points
			were taught in  Aristotle's time.

			The Pythagoreans declared
			that Earth revolved around the Sun.
			"Blasphemers!"--the response from some.
			The ancients also found that Earth's 
			a sphere, not flat, as most believed.

			Much knowledge of this element
			called Earth is based on what was learned
			before the time of Christ about
			geometry, cartography,
			and medicine . . . the list goes on.

Premium Member Surreal

On a surreal dream
Watch the colours stream


Strange sights come to light
As fancy takes flight


Strands of light go round
Curling sparkles ground


Reason feels lost wit
No logic can fit


Rhymes upon odd mimes
Awkward as cracked time


Round and up and down
Facets of mad clown


Frown and smiles distract
Surreal feels abstract


No mindful tact here
Bleeding yet unclear


Cheer is such a fad
Madness swirling mad


In this surreal world
Feel the spiral swirl


Crash upon strange fest
Fate humours mad jest


Frozen laughter cheers
The scourge of mad tears


Lost in limbo land
Fallen angel bland

Anatomy of the Oranges

you’re not adams apple 

the  fruits from tree of the knowledge 
of good and evil
in the middle of the garden of eden
in genesis

yet at you 
the round oranges of this afternoon-town 
i stare 

and my pate gradually 
becomes pregnant 

the  wind that comes after 
having a touch of your lips 
puts the waging of its tail on my forehead 

and my guava-leaf begins to melt 

thus my hardware-business is going 
into liquidation 

the physician to the king is telling 
it’s the symptom of an awful fever attended with
the morbidity of the three humours of the body 

used and used and used

your smile has not yet become 
stupid 

so from where the lamp-posts of the 
town start 

there are the cutlets  and the bolster 
they are not the only to utter the last words 

i’m too 
in this summer 
trying to  decorate 
the gate of my cage like wedding ceremony 

if any soundless dew-drop comes 
to prepare and feed me 
my birth-day frumenty 

but i’ve no tongue 
at all 

all over the face there are only the eyes

and to the fate of my staring-at 
has ever so much blessings been available

(Dedication: For my wife Ann)

I see you dear
Eye to eye here


Love is a gift
That ever lifts


You see me voice
Rhymes that spur poise


Zest floods fond fest
Jest humours quest


Just you and I
To sculpt fond sighs


Heart and soul know
How wonder grows


We find blessings
In good living


Fond moments stay
Upon the way


Love shows us how
To live right now


Joy wears a face
So full of grace


On rainbow light
Such lasting sights


Truth simply shows
Pure play that flows


You and I dear
Journey right here

FUNNY  CANNY  PUNNY

            The great guy Punny
             makes fun, yet funny.
             Witty and canny.

             Spontaneous laugh
             much more than enough,
              serious on bluff.

             Jokes not to explain
             Pun doesn’t go in vain,
             but to entertain.

             Humours to be spun,
             not grave ! Cheerful pun.
              Real joyous fun.

               Sure to feel sick,
              true meaning to seek !
             Punny the guy descent
              Actually absent
              on own wedding date.
             To bride, he didn’t pay debt.

Premium Member Ann Darling

Thank you my dear
For grace that cheers


In a fond glimpse
Fond feelings stream


Such sparkling eyes
Highs merge with sighs


Dream upon dream
Love ever streams


We journey far
Dance here on par


Joy frames delight
Time brings insight


Love wears a face
Charm in embrace


So many years
Have flown my dear


We walk this maze
Fit wit to daze


Each day brings finds
Warm peace of mind


Here faith and hope
Sync with love's scope


All in due time
Love mellows rhyme


This lifetime trip
Primes zesty grip


My dear darling
Love plucks pulse strings


Wit humours zest
Prize path and quest

Premium Member Mystic Moments

Early start
East Coast Ferry Terminal;
Sleepy journey


Trip for two
Getaway spa resort;
Rest and recuperate


Mystic moments:
Retreat into void --
Battery recharging


To re-jig sense
Spur sensorial feel;
Find and anchor


Getaway mode
Three days of rest;
Tropical idyll


Sing a song
Joy floods again;
Refresh soiled templates


Doing nothing
Can heal you wholesome;
Empty cups need refill


So there you go:
Two lovers
Playing catchup


Take your trip,
Embrace emptiness;
Rest weary wiles


Here by this bench
Watch people passing;
Wit humours worry


Driver's hot seat:
Fast luxury car
Speeding away


Now for a pit stop
Mechanics of motion;
Preventive maintenance


Bus trip homewards
Observe fellow passengers;
Flashy mobile devices


We flood the bus
Private thoughts lurk;
Ready to unleash


Air-con bus ride
Morning masquerade;
Chameleons in-transit


Glare of morning
Sun in my eyes;
Drowsy dreamy crazy


Missing the point
Stray words dislodge;
Meaning decapitated


Drowsy movement
Blurry sensations;
Graveyard shift starts


Report and lodge
Complaint that cuts;
Fire a loose cannon 


Moody mindset
Uneasy dawn;
Distant tremors


Exit the start
Enter the end;
Roundabout lurks


Highway song
Go fast within limits;
Speedy Gonzales!


Follow the signs:
Deliver me
From my slavery


Illumination saves
Ignorance and blame;
Choice rewards freedom


Morning story
Sleep put on hold;
Awareness now grooms
