Cease towards the child she bare
Yes she may be forgetful
Yet I shall never forget you

We'd laid old George to rest the week before,

no heirs to his estate, so one thing more
to do, and that's clear where he'd spent his life.
Downstairs had been quite...

A bug upon a green leaf sat
Cautiously eyeing up a cat
Who, unaware of the bug's intentions
Continued with its cruel conventions:
Of catching a mouse then setting it free
Then leaping up it once more with glee
Until the...

A Debate

The Atheist
I see no reason for a god
Indeed for any type of god at all
I look around at all the churchmen
The pompous richly dressed ones
And wonder what their founder would have thought
And then at...

recognition of our true constitution reveals
we are not merely limited mind-body combine
our soul being encased in five sheaths or coverings
of which the first and grossest is the material organism
the second our pranic energy field, which...

I am letting go, I am giving up on you, us, the future…
I hope you won’t feel like I’m depriving you the chance to voice out your opinions

As an earth bound entity
Encased in this organic form
That decays moment to moment
Bewildered by illusion, thus in delusion
We are asked to repent and believe
That we may return to God’s fold
Wherefrom we strayed away
Termed as fall...

they had grown longer over time and hell had frozen

Rain had relegated him to a trough of his own making

He sat in a muddy pit once ice thawed...

'Twas the night before Christmas, all children were in bed
Elves were loading the sleigh, for Santa's big night ahead
A heavy fall of fresh snow had now covered the ground

I was called a winter’s child by most people,
Who were in my life when I was a young child,

But at the striking of that aged light
Where the anguished reddened heat...

Who was Lizzie Van Zyl?
A small girl stands on Woodcock Bridge
Pointing at her reflection in the water.
The glint from the sun, and a cold wind,
Distorts a distant memory of gold, and places long forgotten.

For the...

it's all for you
nightmares
mental anguish
imagined heartache
the worthlessness of me

Something
I'm not
another realisation of self

first to know
last to be told

this realisation of myself
i don't belong

i know nothing
its what i am to...

Electric lies

I died a little inside when, through your displays,
I felt, Love, that you did not really believe in our story
That you thought, maybe, it could simply be a little madness,
Another pink cloud floating gracefully around
