Her life turned upside down, endless chorus of tears,
jilted she hoped he would stop in the name of love.
What was once endless love was now songs full of fears.
Her baby love left her lost like...

Life, 
Filled with complexities & complications 
Wider than the broadest imagination 
Narrower than the thinnest reality 
Sweet-sour 
Beautiful-"ugly" 
Tall-short 
Poor-rich 
Slim-fat 
Bitter-sweet........................ 
The unimaginable, unpredictable & unexpected are all in it 

Sometimes imagined & taught...

A round of applause, you've melt my heart to stone.

By the light of day,
Near the edge of night.
I heard whispered tales,
Of an ethereal sight.

With my muddled vision,
By now spirited head.
Bound for the graveyard,
To walk among the dead.

The air had been cooled,
By an early winter...

Its truly difficult to put everything I'm feeling into words this way. 
I don't know what to think 
I don't know what to do. 
I'm partly confused and partly in another world. 
I can't find...

Spirit of the Navajo
How hard life has become
Reciting prayers of long ago
Alcohol an escape for some

How hard life has become
Water is a scarcity
Alcohol an escape for some
Look at them with pity

Water is a scarcity
Wells will...

The river’s running higher than the river’s run before
I knew it was; there’s three feet of it on my kitchen floor
And next doors garden shed came crashing into my front door
But I needed a number...

Answering The Past

I tell you what
you ask me why 
Inside this ring
of time disguised
Two hundred reasons
passing go
Retracing steps
— of long ago

(Dreamsleep: March, 2024)

Make your bed with today
no one’s promised tomorrow
The present is visceral
its moment...

I’m missing you
I’m craving you
Our love is magical 
You’re beautiful

Every time I see your face
I think I’m going to die
I feel a heat attack coming on
‘Cause baby you electrify
Your soul is pure, you’re full of...

Tears of forever echo in our years
over the lives of Haiti’s deaths
in debt we become overwhelmed with fear
deaths progeny inevitably un-done, born
the streaming blood of life’s prodigal matrix is done
a wholesome cocoon of chaos, calamity...

It burns
Brighter, fiercer, nuclear
With effulgent incandescence
But only when untended or 
denied the expected trajectory

For there is beauty in this 

A Glorious Thing indeed
The rarest of things truly
But to wilfully deny it? 

There is beauty in...

Dead Ballads

Written on the pages of time 
read tarnished couplets and 
quatrains 
which corroded pauses are 
leprechauns sat on pots and 
pans 
which melt before and after the 
rain. Yet the lyrics exist, they 
are...

man kneels in grace
he is hammer for the god's of war
creating his place with a hum and rattle
time is man's finest driven rival
a flash in the sky 
we fall and fly 
lost inside our own...

"When love fades into the depth of night, stars lose the glimmer of their light."   
Poet's quote.


A star riddled sky recurs in beautiful dreams
We danced and whispered tender words of love
Only Orion overheard
Oh,...

When, oh when, when will it end?
The inhumanity that recurs again and again.
Mere mortals true, but true animals too.
Too many with hearts dark, through and through.

History stained with innocent blood drained,
The countless lives lost and...

I Am Right Here

Thy lent shadow tenders thee liberty,
In occasional fading of the sun,
Willed to oneness, stayed in captivity.

Rift recurs thy stained disability,
A jigsaw puzzle of thee spreads undone,
Thy lent shadow tenders thee liberty.

Thy severance...

I am stuck in a cliche
the narrative recurs
I need to leap out
As I am in loops...
The sentences just re-happen
   the words repeat
Oh I have to portray these beautiful phenomenas I encounter continually,

When parents consumed with rage draw near

Children abused will cower in fear

No measure of pain can they disguise 

As the teardrops fall, the waters rise

How many screams are piercing the air

How many scars on their...

Many a time,
I am dead,
and as yet arise alive,
to feel good and bad,
if feeling bad recurs  more oftener,
than feeling good,
then situation again rises,
when I once more am dead,
bad sometimes is shame,
sometime my untruths,
and at...

Crashing tides, a relentless assault,
Bitter cold winds, a chilling jolt.
Faces slapped by nature's icy hand,
Entities from the deep, a sinister band.

Waves rise with a thunderous might,
Like demons dancing in the pale moonlight.
Each gust of wind,...
