Driveni hear the ticking of the clock
it's in my head and in my heart
the pulse of life doubtlessly finite
so many things i want to do
the tic toc getting louder
it echoes in my brain
rummaging through images and dreams
while time rings evermore elusive
i get up in the morning determined
with a yearning to break free
driven to spark the...

Never Contradictory
I don’t always say the right things
Words don’t always come easily to me
Revealing the way my heart quietly sings
Lifting the burdens too heavy to see
I don’t always reach out with grace
When I see a heart yearning, full of doubt
Yet, I know what it is to offer an embrace
To the souls who struggle to find their...

The Shopping Trolley
Early morning
and it is still dark.
An abandoned
shopping trolley stands alone
in the centre of the car park.
I take pity and return it back
to its home and the company
of its own kind where it
rejoins the others
in their long coitus line.

daylightIn a blazing glory..
The sun rose again.
The Light intertwines through the branches of oak trees… as they were reunited lovers' hands.
The meadow’s dew shimmer… once again, it’s a forest of diamonds.
Crisp air fills the lungs ….
I feel at peace in mine....

This Morning(On Father's Day)
Like most mornings, I awoke,
Got out of bed on the left side.
Not sure if that was the wrong side,
But I know for certain,
It wasn’t the right side.
Aloneness is sort of that way—
No offer of a second opinion,
No pat-on-the-back save a broken arm,
No meaningful conversation around the table.
A moment of nihility—this morning.

Painted Lady, Morning Glory
Early each morn
before the dawn
she primps and prettifies
shadows her eyes
lines her brows
lipstick applies
rouges her cheeks
powders her nose
lacquers her hair
files then paints her nails
fingers and toes
pampers places
it never shows
and every night
washes it all away
only to do it
go through it
all over again
exactly the same
at sunrise
the very next day

A Sunday Morning RainThe soft pitter-patter of rain drops falling
against the AC in the window
It's rhythm rocks me back to sleep
drifting away within the sound of
tiny drums of water droplets from
the clouds above.
A sudden clash
screaming crack of boom
thunder shakes me awake
as a torrent of rain showers
the earth below.
Up from bed and sit outside
inside the screen in porch.
Feeling the...

Morning BirthOften I gaze
In shadows I sought refuge
Healing waters from the valley of visions
Measured my portion
In weaves I sowed my seed
Through many days of distortion
We Tilled the sky
It bore us life
In his ways I hope to walk
The King of Kings is Yeshua
He rose again from the grave
Often I gaze
In gardens of plenty
Toward the east
Toward the Valley...

Twilight SeaThe lovely sea sparkles in the haunting light of the moon.
Waves of deep cerulean crash against the jagged rocks.
Sand of the purest white guards the vast shores.
The path of the moon drifts along the glistening surface.
A light spray of the twilight sea kisses my face.
Amidst the sea, in the rhythmic swells swims a silver dolphin.
The...

That Morning Brew
That first cup of coffee, what could be sweeter
It's starts the day right, it's a sadness defeater
We wake up all groggy and stumble over things
Into walls and doorways, to a table we cling
Lucky if we make it to the kitchen in one piece
Hopefully we won't get splattered with grease
While cooking up bacon and eggs and...

A Journey To Far AmericaThe sleepy begonias undulating slightly so undisturbed
leaned forward to encourage and wish me good fortune,
while the apricot trees spread around their strong aroma,
a dazzling daylight was rising from the majestic mount;
a soft voice rose from the next room, it was mamma
calling me: I sprung from my bed in disorder without
feeling grumpy, the alarm playing Mozart's...
