I recall it was just the other day
Featured in the daily for which we pay
Your blown-up photo splashed across
The front page for all to gloss
Your background and your virtues extolled
For your wedding bells were soon...

It is time to grieve a cop has died
Son to a mother, darling father to a child
Leaving kin behind and many more
Claimed by the force to have been beaten to pulp by a mob seeking...

Why was my whole special school life, 
An interpretation of nature and school?
A philosophical contemplation and analysis,
A freeway inquiry into the education tool. 

Because the god concept was lain out,
On the household table, delicately spread,...

JUST LET GO
By Leon Enriquez


Life here is a jigsaw puzzle
Each day brings you a new challenge
So we learn to bear with struggle
We tarry and fault-find talent


With each problem we encounter
We twist and turn...

They keep watching
Forever observing
Constantly snooping
As the public keeps on fuming

For our safety we are watched constantly
Electronic eyes unable to account
For the nuances of human behaviour
Infiltrate all aspects of living
Criminalizing us
Laying bare all our sins

Intrusive watchmen...

Sleepy thoughts loiter,
Dreamy images disappear...
Sun stabs sudden focus.


Subconscious thoughts come
Abrupt as light streams,
No time to think.


Senses aware one by one:
Like octopus tentacles
Twisting and curling to touch.


Edgy promontory here:
Eyes scan the cityscape fringes,
Twenty-storey window view


Far below...

Pizza boxes line the floor and litter my recent calls,
I don’t know the time of day or the last time I ventured outdoors.
Lost in my own worthless abyss, drowning in my thoughts,
Look at this mess...

Home is Where

Home is where
your first and lost loves linger
the scent of Cusson’s Imperial Leather
and lavender, like a silken scarf
curls and twines around your head, 
her marshmallow touch,
teasing your memory.

Home is where
fresh baked bread and apple...

The Monstrous Past
I try to put the past to bed and tuck it up so it can’t escape
I say goodnight and creep away, but it’s always by my side.
I try not to look and hope...

All the boughs that we were shaking,
vows we were taking,
were the nows we were forsaking –
lessons in love.

Strong on style, or long on laughter?
Hard to figure what you’re after.

All the codes that we were learning,
modes...

A funny thing happened on the way to the market
I arrived in my Porsche, there was no where to park it
So I circled the village; and parked it in a side road
When I returned an...

It really doesn’t take a lot of effort,
To get things feeling better than they seem,
Settle back and close both eyes completely,
And that’s the way to start a brand new dream.
Ambition in a dream is without...

The world has discovered it's coveted holy grail
To Jules Rimet we honour let the football feast set sail.
Countries unite and teams take flight to a designated host nation
Little kids feed off this passion they tune-in...

Across the floor it slithers
Black tendrils creeping in
Searching for the  beings
That revel in their sin

It spreads across the floorboards
Engulfs the carpets too
Gets in every single corner
Then makes its way to you

It gathers round the...

O dear Lord, let my thoughts fly upwards, 
For we have sinned abominably against you,
And never bothered to think of You.
We raised false idols of our own making:
The gods of power, money, and lust.
Our corruption...

Standing still is certainly not an option 
Ignorance of technology expect corruption,
Guarantee your safety, protect your identity 
Never divulge passwords, just think security,

Over decades so many changes, some good
Fascinating inventions saying that we should,

Take responsibility...

You love animals - so now go and sleep with them,

put your airbrush away, better it should just...

Back to school,
Back to classes,
The holiday is over,
Children are happy-sad,
Early to bed,
Refreshed and sound to arise,
New session, new scheme,
New session, new curriculum,
Teachers are back on their feet,
They are faced with the daunting task of strategizing,
Preparing...

Behold the cold village Baskerville fog
  and holiday summer fields bundling hay,
the Officers Club back door buying grog
  till all our money slowly pissed away!
And lock and load shoot to kill in dead...

Today I spied my shadow,
And I asked it to dance.
Once it would have taken the challenge.
Once, when I was young. 
Where are the memories of yesteryear?
Dissipated with the passage of time?
 
Today I'm bent with...

Ashen, does the ending of a day time faint;

Wallow in self-pity – do hoary shadows loom

Pastel shades over silver ridges all as one constraint

Become a neutral dark with overtones for doom.

Drab of any choice which...
