Flood over my mind.
When I think of Karetes.
I feel complete.
With all the family there.
They left lots of memories.
For all of us to share.
 Making the person that I am today.

They guide...

Dreamscape

Fright night echoes sounds clink tapped chalices,
Amidst caused bruised concoctions aplenty,
Dons alehouse barmaids geniality,
Fair distance yonder gates of said palaces.

Camaraderie placates fools, nightfalls,
Host chambered snores all else unpleasantries,
Wenches clear tables its swill and varies,
Whilst yon...

and all the wisdom this story lends

two men play checkers every day
each hold in their mind memories that stay

We killed insects in our house without any remorse
We swept clean anthills in our garden without any afterthought
We trampled on insects while walking

We cut trees, made many homeless
We ventured into forests, killed for flimsy reasons

We...

the card game bordered on theft,

You cherish violence
Is it your way to settle scores?
You hate peace
Wreaking havoc is all you think about
Though your secrets are held close to your heart
An aspect of individuality promoting secrecy
With every act you inflict unbearable...

As a non-golfing husband I revel at tales
Of sunshine filled days chasing small balls,
Some in the rough others in sand,
All these brave girls fighting nature's pitfalls.

I hear of the times the flock of wild ducks
Hindered...

With animosity I endure each pain
Read each word as they describe disdain
Do not compare or look for blame
Distill yet comforts release the gain 
The outer world always preaches 
while villains they reign like leaches
Do not...

picking up turtles that fly in the wind

or you might never be a boy again!

Are there robins hopping my frozen ground?
Sound of widowers voices all around.
Chilled to the bone, I make nary a sound.
My suit and tie are not keeping me warm.

Icy northern winds blowing in a storm,

Without having to test death
You leave me with sores
Deep within my soul
Death,please have mercy on this generation
Oh,please...
All we want is a free-stress life
Leave us alone...

by the white gate,
and leaning on some other railings painted blue
I saw her yet again,
her eyes focused on the twilit meadow,
last time by the river,
she was one of the few that...

Face up! Courage high. Up early? Great!  Attitude fly!
Full of pep, vigour, vim.
In great shape, need no rest.
Jumping over peers
Who have lost their zest.

Lost their sight, their hearing, their lust, their sense of play.
Now...

Fell out of a limousine
Drunk out of mind
Spoiled
Filthy rich
Child
In time


He loved
All his toys
Then a woman
Showed him other joys
Sweet, just close your eyes

On champagne dreams
Wearing butlers shined black laced shoes
Away they went
From here to the moon
In...

Life is but a fleeting mist.
What is now, will soon be missed.
Seize the moment, say in words:
God’s greatest to you, was her.

Days of ordinary passing,
Too soon leave for nothing’s lasting.
Take the time to cherish her,
All...
