Every year someone is always expressing
that Christmas is imperialist, and oppressing
people not of the Christian faith,
That it’s unfairly taken Soltice’s place,
that the historical Jesus was not born
in the last months per Holiday norms,
say ‘Merry Christmas,’...

Dragon's back! It’s Easter Time and, Yes; we’re going to church today...

With that invisibilty of age
I can fly my life like a kite !
Uninvited and unseen,

the young forget that we were young,...

My life flutters by, like a butterfly.. a lullaby,
Making me cry and sigh, untill I die,
I'm lying here thinking..  it's all been a waste,
Just a hasty taste, of all the pleasures I've chased.

This P.M.A,...

Dear Fatima,

Here are a few words I am afraid to say.

Come to the edge, he said. They said: We are afraid.

By planting seeds of any kind you make crops grow.
Fertilizing the soil we get a crop of fresh food, this we all know.
By planting seeds we insure our lifestyles and what determines our bliss.

They laugh and roll their eyes when I
stand up for heroic western types,
for pulp-adventure, and old-school action,
they say this shouldn’t bring satisfaction.
With a haughty air they claim it’s cheap,
‘mere entertainment,’ and nothing deep.
As if popcorn...

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...

Don’t forget ……

Why you’re running so fast?
Look they’re moving faster.
Ok, but what’s the purpose?
I can’t talk now, need to speed up to cover the gaps.
What about your aim, your rationale?
Damn it, it’s a competitive world.

Peace of mind, where is it you have you gone
You have left me and now I’m so forlorn.
You were at my side for 60 solid years,
But you have left me with so many fears.

Peace of...

Life of lifelong dance—
Of rainbow shades and fragrance,
And with bees romance,

Flowers, I envy
How ye manage this, tell me,
Asked a man in trance,

Yours too, Butterfly,
And O Honey-bearing Bee,
O ye swaying tree,

There’s no secret key,
They all said...

I watch you as you sleep mysterious man.
Lost in a land of dreams - inhabiting a 
different world  to me - temporarily.

Or maybe you always do?
Do you really know me or I you?
Married, yet...

Stop postponing life and start living

Often we push our thoughts too far
And it is common for us to worry about the past
Skipping the present
Missing the point, diverging from the current.

The past is something we once...

A Friday from hell

I was writing about consumerism.
What is the point when people get up at five in the morning?
buying tumble driers that use plenty of electricity in a country
where the sun shines nearly every...

There’s a line that needs to be drawn
As the sickness is coming on
We’re battling a war here
Don’t know the reason behind this fear
It consumes us as we reflect on this horrific mess
But we’re coming with...

Missing the Point 

By Elton Camp

Cracker Barrel is where I like to eat
Their great breakfast just can’t be beat
And, to eat in there I will also try
Since their health rating is so high

The place has...

First, we believe in the each other,
but odds are that misconstrued whispers would play tricks... 
Taunt
Dawn breaks as we flounder in the misery of our thoughts 
Letting go of reality, struggling to reclaim it from...

What does it mean to be free?

Does it mean that you live in a place

where you can choose who you want to be?

Take on the world and mold it

in a shape you want to see.

A story of suffering, two people you know
one of them close, the other not so
a painful experience mutual for both

When stars are perfectly aligned
A fervent eye will meet another
Never needing an introduction
Feeling like it just belongs there
Making a home without permission
Like a bird-nest in summer garden.

But it's a random occurrence;
Not everyone is welcome there,
When...

inspired by Lewis contest

Sounds casual and shallow
Distracting the  peripheral;
Reserved,distant and unreciprocal.

We say hello but do not talk

Never revealing what we feel,
Recserved,remote and unreal;
Hearing but never listening.

We say hello but never talk.

Hastily in a hurry
Missed...

I'm always missing the point,
I'm always passing the days,
I"m always the child to anoint,
I'm always the adult at play.

I'm always the word thats in...
