On my first cycle I met a couple sitting on the corner watching me like big brother
The young man shouted at me in...

Students their little burning harmonies | you compos’d it 
One single gallery | public arras blasé debate re-placed
Sheets just- | cool on clothesline whiskered with wear.
Variousness was it| trusted its core | bayou, brilliant books

I saw old images of different views of Ho Lang Island
The stone towers built by Spanish still standing erect

It was dubbed as a "no man's...

GHOST MIRRORS

Ghostly images captured within the prism of reflected light,
Ethereal waves rippling against reality’s framed surface
Of the translucent, as phantom hands press, slamming at
The fragile glass of dualities deadened zone of existence!
A sudden shimmering, in...

The wheels spin, turn generate; electricity
A well-oiled machine or perplexed finery called the human mind
Irrelevant, an idea has sprouted like seasonal plants coming to life
Gone again, the sun has...

Big trucks rolling down the street
With a message that is very deep
Big trucks rolling down the street
Filled with mixed concrete

Big trucks rolling down the street
carrying tons of steels
Stone truck, cement truck, steel truck
And truck whose...

Needed something other than itself.

The other was rich with wealth, in its spirit, it knew love was shown it, and so it grew, and was 
kept, offered it as it grew strong, moved within itself...

Ignorance
I wish you would afflict me till the end of time
Ignorance you’re a petty thief that steels only what she wants
For what you can’t feel you deny
What you can’t see you will not seek
Your epic...

On a journey down the mile
A priest knelt down in prayer
“Our father help me guide this lost soul
To your loving embrace 
That you may be his last judge 
His stain of death will mark him

A Partridge perched upon a tree
entices him to throw something!
When songbirds sing and flap their wings  
two turtle doves, cause headache pain.
Those mocking words, thread-worn with wear.
 remind him of the dollars spent.
Defeat caves...

 Fall a white feather
Against the weight of earth
 On the  ground covered in dirt 
It lands there 
To be seen 
By the blue eyes 
To be hold 
By a bare hand...

How do I get him to notice...

Rearing up
	before it lies
dark shadow cast
	and block the sky

through bitter cold
	and blazing light
even its might
	now scars are borne

	and spirit quakes
the one must climb
	and overcome

simple brawn
	courage strong
no sure...
