With some very cool memories, of the sand and green foam.

On the drive back I had resolved, to take the scenic route,
Like the pathway down Magnolia...

Damian had a restful sleep.
Up at 9  simply shaved 
Showered savagely ate. And 
On the road at 10 to retrieve
His future.  He hoped she was
anxiously anticipating 
The surprise. The weekdays 
The road was...

Losing hair is a sign of ageing,
Except for other eventual reasons, of course.
Thank God, I'm just getting older, not ill.
My sight is not the same anymore.
Even when wearing glasses, focus is sometimes blurred.
Knees? Oh, please!
None...

My thoughts are blinking quickly deep in my brain. I’m happy you decided to join me, I’m so glad you came. If I didn’t pour my feelings out I think I’d go insane, well except...

This is a true story of seven students
Agone days of those ill-famed fiddles
Musing with drolleries – assiduity on catchy missies
And lamed against educators animalism.
Books usually kept aside but concentration hard on last night
Weekends glossed upon...

sun streaming through
the window nearest our bed . . .
my love’s golden hair

I am awakened by bird song. What a beautiful start to a brand new day. Having wakened before my darling, I gaze at...

Weekdays I toiled in honest sweat; weekends were for the blokes
down at the pub or at the footy, hearing tales and telling jokes.
Forget about the wife at home; her nagging only causes trouble.

I like to think that Daddy's gold watch chain,
and the way it came about,
was the true story of "The Magi",
that O. Henry had mixed it up a little and changed it, 
as sometimes happens.

I remember...

I see you floundering in a world you thought you knew
You once saw it in ticks and tocks, and pay checks…
You were blindly tripping down someone else’s path
Playing cards dealt from unknown player’s decks…


You once...

May succulent grass upon buds in June
I walked alongside you September, arrived in you October,
it began in December and ended in January
I slept in February woke up in March and danced in April

Human, I am...
with a nagging existential curiosity 
about people, nature, and life in general. 
A spiritual being, I am...
I indulge in woolgatherings and strolls.
A poet, I am... 
I'm always doing the cha-cha-cha with my muse.

The Earth stood still

Dirty black shoes 
Ripped up jeans 
Stopping me on the road 

We were so young when I first met you 

October sky 
Dark March nights 
Birthdays in July 

I was 16 when...

One does not have to die to be a hero,
Though many heroes paid the ultimate price,
That is but one among many scenarios,
Of steel, faith, valor and noble sacrifice.

Heroes dwell in neighborhoods across the land,
Who work...

Nomadic Hearts

Seems just yesterday simple Jane's heart kept perfect time. Ticking, never losing a beat. Days seemed good. Nights seemed hopeful.

The streets of her town, barren of big city chaos, knew calm. Knew boring. Knew...

Snow-drifts
as time
along a fifty mile strip
of cracking tar rubbed raw by the constancy
of speeding cars roaring past this crumbling city,
indifferent to the frost matted fields
or the give and take of December lovers
walking hand in hand...

Cuz She’s just living for the weekends.
	Uhoh ohhhhhh
And then she’s waiting for spring break,
	Which you know will come and go.
And then she’s holding out till summer,
	Always arrives slow.
But summer freezes over, and on comes the...

Somewhere between increasing size of the uniform
Maturity kicked in, and I grew up, mom
Molded to be different than the peers I grew among
If I were to, meet my child avatar, how I would be viewing...

Death of My Father

Sunrise seen from hospital window view
his body wasting away nearby
Nothing! Nothing, I could ever do
death was coming and I knew not the why

Strong man lay there in misery and pain
cancer eating away...

I have said it before in previous poems,
Yet my message has not been heeded,
We don't need you telling us how good we are,
And that you envy our place in the world,
Little old New Zealand,
The land...

I can’t believe it’s weekend already,
the busy week has hardly been noticed
as if it were like yesterday when,
I started tidying up my room upstairs.

  Other commitments rolled in on weekdays;
