Long Unrecognisable Poems

REGENERATE :

Doctorated at a premium university,
Lost his concentration to absurdity,
Discarded his desire for rationality. 
Sorry for this dude's unfortunate category.
As solemn as his heart aches,
Peace was lost from the face.
Deep troubles that he stake,
Wrong squad...

 NOTHING LESS ~ NOTHING MORE

The ambushed night when all was still,
Amidst the gloom, anxiety took my will.
Though the moon cast its calming glow,
shadows lurked in the night's dark flow.

As the final...

Lost in a room with only my thoughts,Isolated from the world,
A room my only familiar, I listen to the laughter and the conversations in the halls, imagine all the stories held between these walls?

At the breaking of the new dawn
Where the hopeful golden glow melts the dew
A sleepy world awakens to the brightened new dawn of life
But at the striking of that aged light
Where the anguished reddened heat...

downsizing was meant to become
a tool for freedom and devotion
yet it remained a passion unfulfilled
crowded in cherished possessions

they call me a hoarder although 
I prefer to be seen as a
distinguished collector
stylish hunter and gatherer
connoisseur of...

In The Realities Of Despair

Anxiety has kept me awake since many a night
Though exhausted as I am, I’m unable still to sleep
Corners of my house hasn’t a darkness no more to hide
Is there only defiance...

The magic of the puppeteer’s hands, brings life through the strings
The mass of wooden limbs on the floor, unrecognisable as things
They all applauded as they watched the master puppeteer at work
He made his puppets dance,...

"Night Flight"

the sky is 
an open eye
blue as the
Orpheus ocean 

clear in the 
shallows' grit
naivety irritates it 
birthing hard gems

it calls in 
from beneath 
the undertow 
a new dawn  

Morpheus deep
bipolar colours 
unrecognisable
hues and...

Tough 

Your back is brittle, like time-greyed oak,
Curved like a bow,
The string constantly tight and ready.
The glare from your eyes:
Like cold steel.
The things that you do, 
Always securely perfect and correct.
Your voice strained 
Like a...

Somedays I feel like I'm surrounded by bars and bricks
encaged on a stage in tar that sticks.
There's an agonisingly unfamiliar reflection in the mirror,
as my eyes detect an unrecognisable inferior figure.

I can't see the stars...

The way the old lay,
weak, it's difficult to make out the words they say,
sometimes they speak nonsense and mumble away,
but somedays they are okay,
acting more like themselves from back in the day,
yet still with less...

it's easy to imagine the moon fell out of the sky
but no, it's still up there, where it's always been
    I look around to see what chases me; nothing moves...

The Shed.

The door creaks open and refracted light creeps in,
A place filled with creation, even in the bin.
Smells of shaven eucalypt and mountain ash fill up all the senses.
Planes, saws and a miriad of tools...

In the quiet morning light, for the first 
time, I truly gazed into the mirror, 
What I saw was unrecognisable,
I must confess I was  close to it but 
had to draw closer still,
I was...

I opened my heart
A heart without walls
Fragile & weak
Tired … damaged
I bared my soul
My past, my fears
My ghosts.
We shared
We laughed
We kissed
Together we danced,
Like children without cares
In the rain
Under the stars …. I was hypnotised
Your sensual...

Jimmy warned Pinks of her dangerous inclinations 
of chugging too close to the capricious edge, but she kept laughing 
and refused to listen until she skid and bounced down the hill.
Jimmy retrieved her in an...

Time has turned us into strangers to our own past, 
unrecognisable beasts in search of some unknown variable 
to find a stability as a rock to our own convictions 
that were lost with the change...

when funeral fire consumed his mortal remains,
roaring flames burnt his bodily musical domains,
peering through the glass portal one could see fires lash,
every inch reduced to unrecognisable ash!!

For five decades his golden voice reigned the music...

Imagine reverting to type
How we all scowl at those that do
Yet we are forever missing from ourselves 
In this glory of being 'better'
Then, maybe the awful revelation that I am this bland entity
Are we all...

Promotion, bonus, we believe good job well done,
we saved money let's give the rich a ton,
aluminium is nearly as good as zinc 
nearly half the price that's how we have to think,
what about residents complaints,...

In a city with no foundations

People are pursuing meaningless goals

Waiting for completion in their lives

Believing everything and nothing

In a city with no foundations

People only see their own inverted images

How difficult it is for them 

To...

"As a Child to Man, The Turning"



When the father is missing
Where goes the child
Walking barefoot wild
on a beach where 
all his sandcastles 
are washed away 
and mothers and sisters
are holy 
their towers high
unreachable 
he is...

Shadows are indeed peculiar things
they look at you from many an angle
looking at them seeming so false
sometimes everything looks real tangle

Deep inside there seems you're there
but differences from one self is sure
unrecognisable in many facets...

In this strategic somewhere
Battalions marched to nowhere
Keeping peace in face of dragons
Concealed in the foothills.
Tiger tracks in sand vanish
As though sucked into oblivion,
Wiped out by desert storms
And the unforgiving winds.
Dear Whoever letters mailed
To post-boxes, obliviously,...
