Long Livings Poems

Broken hearts
bodies
neural systems
minds
heal in a profoundly broken,
sometimes revolutionary,
way.

Almost 18 now,
youngest son Yin speaks no domesticated,
commodifiable
marketable language,
only primal syntax of saintly glory,
heroic internal/external story
without distinction between "live" and "love;"
he can only know life/love as co-arising NOW,
inviting...

Skynard told me, when I was young
To live my life but to live a simple one
Lord knows I've tried but I took a different road
Life can be a mess or beauty can take your breath
But...

The unrealistic acts we put on to manipulate one another, living and sleeping with active minds. The act of evil smelling over the surrounding, guilt brightly sparkling on our visages without pardon we step on...

I am a master in my eyes, a master in disguise. So cleverly concealing pertinent feelings of thoughts, one's intrusive dealings, that are boiling my insides. A wizard behind a curtain, that’s how this all...

There is an echoing whispering amongst the trees,
A deadly chanting’s whistling, of disembodied voices
Calling upon the living to beware, for you are entering
A no man’s zone, turn from here humanity,
Dare not enter look away in...

Dear Awakening Poet

The family gathered to celebrate the new baby
A home filled with love, past memories and joy
Smells from the kitchen perforate the room
Children and laughter, barking dogs, purring cats
Aunty Flo’s paintings proudly decorate the walls
Grannies old...

#HEY, SAY...

GIMME A GLASS OF ROOM TEMPERATURE WATER, FOR STARTERS...WITH A BRIGHT LEMON WEDGE, TO TAKE OFF THE EDGE!

"IN FACT, MAKE THAT A DOUBLE!!"

NO, I DON'T WANT NOTHING WITH FIZZ,
NOTHING WITH FROTH...
NO SCREWDRIVERS FOR ME,...

Three Popple logs still lie where they fell,
a log triangle; an overgrown dell.
One newly fallen and two not so new,
dissolving repose; beginning anew.
A leaf carpet, yellow, oranges and brown,
soften the lines between logs and the...

Standing upon centre's stage as the crowd became frenzied amid anticipation 

Wild in abandonment as their naked bodies began to dance within the aisles 

Shouting in revelry this festivity celebrating the end of summers, dawning

Searching for the betrayer of you and I

I went to Burundi central Africa
Where river Nile was, I...

These things are passing
temporary in their afflictions of
to be dealt with in problematical
or carried a brick of sacks
slung this weight upon the back
to weigh a feathers heart
against solutions search

These things are transient

I watched the raindrops 
one by one they fell
they filled an empty hole
till it became a well
 
every word of yours is dew
like this rain I seek
the hole here large and empty
for a cistern of...

Such a beautiful building
Airy and spacy and light
Just off Hesse Road, a place,
For that occasion, just right.
One of the trawlermens’ churches
A community now scattered and gone
But thanks to these old photos
It's memory will live on...

I watched an old man plant a tree,
Then describe how beautiful it would be,
Knowing he wouldn’t be alive to see,
And that resonated with me,
Because it was such a selfless act,
It really was as simple as...

as builders spend pennies
flipping profits on houses
lifestyle gurus
show us how to fold trousers

and chefs under pressure
scream out all their orders
while people in need
are labelled as hoarders 

and bookies fix odds
for the afternoon races
as judges cast...

In a place called Wester Ross
An area in the Highland Glens
Lie fields of atrocities past
That deter the bravest of men

It all happened so long ago
On a bleak dreach winters night
A few farmers were staggering home
Until...

Death and destruction, evil and hate,
Its not a horror movie, it’s the great debate.
Doing dope or not , such a simple quest
Vary simple in theory, just give it a rest.

But as easy as it is...

No Graves

Those fraught with tears the dead unborn have plight.
Young spirits yearning praying seeking…day.
Graves?  None for unborn stripped of every right. 

Energized by life…microscopic sight.
Dreams yet unborn still hope to find their stay.
Those fraught...

No one wants love they only want likes, 
freely protesting they haven’t got rights! 

Raised by the system playing the victim, 
that’s the ambition that they envision. 

Say you’re offended by my point of view,...

My son you'll wake up an adult tomorrow,
And I"ll try my hardest to play pretend
That I'm as Happy and excited as you are yourself
But i know its the beginning of the end.
