Spine chilling velocity
Willing feverish ferocity
Pollution spilling atrocity
Pushes our buttons
Top billing forging
Fiendish drilling pomposity
Gluttons gorging in the isles of muttons
Coining the term “purloining”
Plunder even here down under
Cast asunder..can hear the thunder
In the proud land of
The long white cloud
Scold from the fold to heal
But won’t listen..do a deal
Gaudy gems appeal..glisten
History sold for pieces of gold
Cower to...

I dream in aquamarinememories of an exotic sun rippled sea
as undulating waves caress a warm beach
i see colours scintillating, bleached
this brings forth images of paradise
and means sublime happiness to me...

A Glimpse Of ParidiseA GLIMPSE OF PARADISE
PARADISE IS CALM AND PEACEFUL
A PLACE THAT HAS NO PAIN
SADNESS HAS NO FACE HERE
EVIL HAS NO GAIN
STANDING ON A SHADED HILL
THE TREES ARE BRIGHT AND BOLD
COLORS DANCING IN THE AIR
TOO MANY TO BEHOLD
NEARBY THERE’S A RIVER
THAT’S SHIMMERING IN GOLD
AND IN IT SWIMS A TALKING FISH
FROM PROPHECIES OF OLD
IT KNOWS OF MANY...

ParadiseLate night, under the bloody moonlight.
Sea breeze, I can almost freeze,
With a clothing that is ripped.
I lay on the soft mattress,
Like a damsel in distress.
Waiting for a knight,
That would be willing to save such mistress.
I feel like a pebble, being thrown in the water.
I may stay afloat, but will inevitably drown.
When will such misery leave...

Our Landyou free me of my mind,
every moment we share together our hearts bind.
looking in your eyes is like watching the waves,
when the time comes we have to separate my soul craves.
waiting for your voice to soothe me,
this land was made for us to love free,
for us to never have to loose touch of one another,
a...

PURPLE PURPLE
Purple my soft moss seat in paradise
amethyst crown purple so wise
High Priestess purpled silken silent and bold
has no need to compete with cool
Countess whose court is neat
but oh so cold !
What a sweet treat to see
ripe ripple granadilla purpled fall from tree
she made an indigo way from leafy branch
to loamy...

A Slave to ParadiseBecoming a slave to my own paradise,
Becoming clingy to my own disregarded appetites,
Becoming a prisoner of my own created prison,
Becoming lonesome in my own crowd.
Recognising something lethal,
Pouring out something eternal,
Bearing some dirt of civilisation,
Tearing apart the burden of my own existence.
I've created my own traps,
Living forever in my own satire.
No appeal on the docket today;
I...

A Paradise Sepulcher
A promise born, a life designed,
To emancipate, to break the bind.
But fate dealt blows, parents passed away,
Leaving her to shadows, in a world astray.
She sells her body, a living corpse,
A pretty face, a paradise sepulcher, a tragic force.
Uncertainty looms, her future unsure,
A womb evacuated, her soul obscure.
Loneliness creeps, a dejected soul,
Yearning for companionship, a heart...

Scarlet ParadiseIn the storm of my mind,
You were my quiet yearning.
Nothing to hold onto, nothing to chase,
Nobody can adjust to this phase.
Do not claim the jargon words,
Words mean nothing when they are hollow.
Letters and pauses are only the reflections of my urge
To put you in my precious seat.
I see a scarlet paradise,
Beneath the fabrics, beneath the...

How do you find your loved ones once you get to heavenHow do you find your loved ones once you get to the hereafter?
How do you navigate your way through the billions of souls
who fill heaven from floor to rafter?
Will an angel come and take you by the hand
and lead you to their doorsteps in the promised land?
And will they be surprised to see you?
Or is...

Habemus Novum PapamYes, indeed we have a new Pope.
I wonder, however, if we have a new hope.
As a matter of facts, we have two popes:
One is active and the other is passive,
Which means that one is inactive,
The latter was a hell of a man who shocked: folks,
Foes, rivals, parishioners and cardinals,
By resigning his post,
By becoming a different...

Adam and Eve and the raising of CainHave you ever thought about the raising of Cain?
Where did that boy get a rage so completely insane
that he ended up murdering his younger brother?
Did he learn it from his father and mother,
who must've been in such deep, psychological pain
for having caused Eden to go down the drain.
