So Paul and Barnabas went up.

With my hound
Somewhere in the lost and never found
Lost in time

Ringing
Stinging
I see the past
Went by fast
Love all around
Happy laughing sound
Someone to...

I walked this life alone
So much I have grown
Trying hard to be true
In all the things I do

Wishing I could make...

A voice whispers inside my head
Thoughts of love feel me with dread
Don't let anyone near
Hold no one dear
They only bring a tear

Never to stay
Staying alone
Cold my heart has grown
No love shown
Days come and go
Before...

So much left behind
Life stuck in rewind
Doing my best 
Trying pass life's test

Practice Takes Mind

I planned to write so many poems
Some long and some one line.
The purpose was for betterment.

Sent to some friendly minds.
Oh, fragrant...

Times the world overloads me
All I see
Close my ears
Cover their tears
Seek some peace of my own
To protect me from all I've been shown

"Dear Jess, when I first met you,
We were halfway through Year Nine,
You had enormous hair and pigtails
And a grin as big as mine,

We were friends from that day onwards,
And had so many good times

I have come so far
Forever reaching for a star
My legs so weary
Of life's bitter sweet dreary
The pain 
The stain
I want no more to hold
Memories of life untold
I'm about to fold
I want to rest
No more test
Everyones...

All night I tossed in its wayward waters foam

The pages grow thick and fluffed
  music flow touched in the rough;
a thousand poems maybe more of heart, soul and mind,
  the ability to visualize life as kind.

Opened my eyes and saw the light
Through the shades and I was glad

No words come at my command
Fertile thoughts flit through my mind

To all you wannabe poets,
Here's a word of advice ere you start:
If you want folks to love it,

Thomas Higgins was busy doctor
And spent his evenings with the rector
Who managed a nearby seminary;
He was a man loveably down-to-earth and ordinary.

He spent the hours between four and six
In the nearby arboretum studying twings
And the...

Looking deep down that inner pen
where ink flows from it’s well
there the emotions charge to surge
with structure and imagery fit to gel

Whatever the picture that’s painted
the poet’s inner self pictures it’s own
raising up it’s individuality...
