My Heart Will Go On - POTD
POTD 30th August 2018

And yet a sense of foreboding permeates the midnight air

Glowing days that were once red-cheeked and ripe with promise,

Tapering from the golden stand and the sturdy base,
To the glorious flame and the ever fading light.

Once I Was a Prince - Part Three

Billycan Creek
When I get tired of the concrete and tar
there’s a place I can go, and not travel far,
that hasn’t been touched by progress at all;
nature stands still beneath gums growing tall.
And in amongst shadows with...

The Surety of Love
Would you march in haste
A mountains tapering side
Or defy the abyss of an oceans
Infuriated tide,
And to exist for I only
When affairs volunteer so rough
Then I’d believe it’s true to state
That this is surely LOVE…………………

Youthful ambition, combined steel order shout
Is enough to break organic, is enough to force you out.
Just listening for my orders, pain ignorance my plan
Childish delusion, a boy acting of a man.

Out of the Box
The moment I am out of the box
Foxes and hyenas surround me
Needy greedy aggressive seekers
Those who even a second before
Lay hidden in hibernation
In the tightly closed boxes of steel
On the verge of elimination
Thanks to the...

What They Saw (Part 1)
What they saw, that seminal liberation day,
Defied, at first, all comprehension;
The winding dirt road uncoiled to a clearing,
Snaked to primal ordinariness, a camp, militia deserted.
Static gates, fences of rust stained barbed wire,
Ramshackle huts in the...

A Circus Clown
suddenly from somewhere, a street urchin
an untamed bird of the wider sky
dropped down into the circus tent.
before him unfurled, scenes eerie, awesome!
soaring lions and tigers, gibbering baboons,
caravans of camels, animal tamers and acrobats,
artists balancing...

What Whispers the Wind.
The winds is too haunting
its dour, dreary and daunting
its voiceless song is wanting
for souls to listen it flaunting
Its whistling tunes that play
eerie melodies of dismay
oft sweet, oft an angered fray
they beckon me to come away

Suddenly from somewhere
A street urchin-
An untamed bird of the wider sky
Dropped down
Into the circus tent
Before him was unfurled
Scenes eerie….awesome!!
Roaring lions and tigers,
Gibbering baboons, caravans of camels,
Animal tamers and acrobats,
Artists balancing on poles
Swinging from bars to...

Illuminating my room through the large...
