To take fresh air in his garden
Than waste his time in a pub,
To be dressed in simple clothing
Than in expensive high class dresses
That bursts a whole in his...

When the child 
finds the imprints,
the child will place
its feet firmly

in the 
Love 
marked, 
for the child alone

brick walls 
along the 
Blue Highway 
to be smashed

like teeth -
to be 
broken,
alone

In this fragile eggshell
I will call life
for security's a mirage
I chase.
Existence is a gamble I take

desperate gamble.
Not a problem –
to dissect, I say
but an eagle’s call
heard.
A life joy-filled
sorrow
I feel every...

Friendship

When you think you can’t go on,
And you’ve stopped singing 
In the middle of your song
And your body feels numb and cold
Cos someone says, you are wrong,
So you’re confused and start to fold
