The world doesn't care unless you're pretty or dead
If you're not a Kardashian they won't care about what you said
I'm unsure if I'm here to stay or if I'm just visiting 
But I'll force your...

My life as a Kitten

I perk up an ear as always when I hear the car start
I run and hop as fast as I can, looking like a hare
Not able to contain myself, I rush...

Her skin is pale and lifeless, wearing a peculiar looking amulet draped across her neck, 
I...

I love how twilight transforms
My curtains currently are an art work
Of light, shade and mystery
Where the growing light creeps in
Producing patterns and pictures
Giving places unnoticed previously
The limelight, a moment in time
Imperfections add character
Ever changing as...

I've found land again, the darkest land that I have seen,
And I can't see a single thing.
I sense these peoples ears perk up as I begin to lie again,
"I'm staying in sick again",
Huhh these lies...

Grey cotton wool clouds enfold the mountain tops,
Creeping forward like an army on the move.
Now and then, dropping their wet cargo
On vegetation, withered from long months of sun.
Gusts of wind carry fragments of birdsong,
Rejoicing in...

From hunting comes 
From hunting drums
From hunting hums
All bright stars
Near and far
In New York or Trafalgar 
Those stars in skyscrapers
Those dazzling gold vapours
The government shapers
The controller of all papers
All go on hunting 
And keep counting
And...

For years and years and a few more years, it now seems clearer to me,
That we’ve lived well, in the nutshell of our small town obscurity.

Life has been grand, on two acres of land of...

I'll write a funny poem
Why?
Because I am happy
No reason why :)
Why does the sun keep shining?
Because if it doesn't
It will be called moonshine
And it doesn't want to be called that
Why did I learn the reason...

A funny thing happened on the way to the Red Barn
I opened the door and out Kia flew out, 
Jumping over a stair or two
Clearing the porch, there was dew on the grass
Kia sliding along...

Her arms laden with small garden tools and sweet scented flowers
She wanders into the graveyard, and treads the trodden path
Noticing the subtle differences given with the different hours
The gentle swaying of cobwebs after they are...

As I stand before this old, dilapidated house,
A structure fast decaying and about to crumble, 
With its walls painted grey and white,
And the plaster bearing cracks and marks,
Memories leap out,
From the moss-grown crevices of my...

For every moment a word is said
my heart pushs rewind, and I submit the right idea this time,
but never was a pause so long that I could end this joourney, and be content
with the results,...

Joy comes in the morning
The birds await to sing their hymns
After being lonesome in darkness
The whippoorwill has brought 
Them comfort and hope singing
In the stillness of the night
Wildlife come out to play
For they can see...

My pencil is dull and my mood is in a lull
my hand has stalled and my thoughts had walled
I’ve written about all there is to say
Just can’t think much of anything today. 

I feel like...

Educated fools make rules that tell you and I what we should or should not do
Rules needed to continue to burry you under the edification of demons
To resurrect menus of abuse from a time of...

There's a price to be paid for everything.
Nothing in life is free;
So be sure of a thing and the price to be paid,
Is it worth it? If not let it be.

We pay a price for...

Hamlet's story 
is sad and gory.
From the start the outlook's bad.
The king, i.e. Hamlet's dad,
got bumped off by his loving brother,
who then had the nerve to wed Ham's mother.
One night Hamlet met his old man's...

I see visions in my eyes - I see the skies
Beauteous be ! My tranquility , rising and shining
The visions in my head - then permeate
