Long Prioritised Poems

Who were in my life when I was a young child, 
But I always saw myself as a summer bumpkin, 
Sprung from spring as I was optimistic...

Some days poetry flows
sometimes it is just words.

In the final spring - a poet
yearned for an immaculate blossom,
for his fingertips to bring a painting into life - to
meticulously cultivate and craft a masterpiece.
I recall an...

Sometimes if you have mild Cerebral Palsy, 
You don't ever need to admit that you have it, 
‘Cos it's not obvious, only you feel the tension, 
In your arm, your hand or face, so you...

The switch flicks 
 - and in that moment everything changes. 
The flicking switch 
rearranges everything; 

what was important is suddenly 
unimportant.  Priorities re-prioritised. 
Problems of great magnitude 
minimised by the flicking of that...

These dead dry valleys were once full of water? sounds unbelievable

The forgotten, the disregarded
The ones from which life has only taken

Wear not the garment of poverty,

Money is happiness, 
Money is respect, 
Be money oriented, 
Thy...

Smile on our lips, accepting any fate
Amidst turbid life storms, we yet stand strong 
Conscience pulse prevents us from doing wrong
Vivified by bliss, that never abates

Agendaless presence, life...

To listen, she asked
Your verdict already cast
Expletives punctuating ignorance.

Her tears exciting,
remarks dehumanising,
impossible to retract.

her livelihood,
you attempt to deny.

A provider,
you succeed to be.
Material a measure to...

To attain quietude,
first things first, thoughts must cease,
that thus, free from desire,
wayward ego’s consigned

bliss magnetism potent.

To attain quietude,
round the clock, all the...
