It's Harder At Night
It's harder at night
In the dark all alone
Just the hum of the ceiling fan
Where my thoughts start to roam
I worry about you
Where you are how you've been
Are you healthy and happy?
Or in pain again
Are you eating ok? Are you sleeping?
Are you warm in your bed?
These are the questions
That spin in my head.
I try to

No matter the provocation
Don’t forget ‘thank you’ and ‘please’

Cultural Crux
Is there anything you root for in our garden now?
Must I cultivate it to make it grow?
Can't seed so many plots, I know.
Is there anything you savour in our melting pot now?
Seasons changed, and our flavours compound,
True essence to distil.
Blinded by what familiarity steeps
You know our brew only too well,

The Preservation of Peace
Clawing at granite walls
searching for that perfect peace
Using the shavings of those walls,,,
to construct yet another wall
to preserve the sheen of peace.
but
Peace is a restless beast...
escaping through the first crack it sees
To keep its pristine

Self-Realization For Preservation
Self-Realization for Preservation
At 3 and a half I met mom number two
Only after mom number one just wouldn’t do
Nine years have passed, and I survived the abuse
Mom number one took too long to get stable
Now a 12-year-old must choose
I picked mom number two simply because she was all I knew
I’m 33 now and memories

Earth's Clock Ticks and Tocks
I look around my immediate field of vision
All I can see is a prison
A prison controlled by leaders to maximize profits and destroy our eco systems
Humanity and Mother Nature are the true victims
I feel the light of life as it dims
We are drifting from ourselves as we let the corrupt and evil hierarchy create these

Self-Preservation
Self-preservation laudable
What then about our soul
High time we ego disable
Bliss ensconced, feeling whole
Gods light within awaits
Feel innocence gyrate
What for then, do we wait
No hesitation

Hidden Joy
I stay in the dark, far away from eyes
Who will see what they like not
Who cannot wish me well
Because on the past they dwell
Like a hoarder who hoards anger from memories of the past
Of a situation that did not last
I stay away from pictures and public posts
Away from an opportunity to boast
About the one I

Caradog's Fight
Faithful companion, Caradog, without necessity
Habitat fed his needs, our bond rapidly developed
Fierce competent hunter amazingly adopted me
Heritage unable to continue, thylacine near relic
Decision to keep him secret was tumult traumatic
Exploited Tiger captured disallowed me to have it
Slender sniff nuzzled friend was a multitude more
Central to my craft's formation, carved wood replica
Tangible muse

A Sonnet For Self Preservation
Once a lover said to me “I’d like to pick your brain,”
“You’re a beauty darling, but I think you’re quite insane.”
I did not doubt a word he said so I opened up my mind
I think he got a little scared when he realized what he’d find.
Empty bourbon bottles, littered in my head
Crumpled up old snuff
