And cries bled out the ground 
Hushed over earthen weeping 
And golden fields were drowned. 

In tears of quiet, silence
Sounds out the nothing drum
Beats t...

Nor like the calmness of the river before a storm. Be full of rage at the deafness and blindness of Mankind. The qu...

...Love’s scars, such exquisite markings;
Branded with a faded fine line stain,
you’ve taken me taken my heart;

The Common Poet

...I have conversed with the common man
in warm and well-worn pubs.
I have been a ribald, and a leery lout,
a seducer of barmaids.

for a boy to grip and hold on
to climb without bare skin

...It still stands,
old wounds scabbed in gum,
the moreton bay fig 
that I climbed as a child
and stabbed
to harvest 
the white bleed
of its hurt.

High in its branches
I cut my initials

      If Dullness Be Your Plunder

    Speech be silence gone amiss
    But if speech be ne'er to be.

Songs of flapping birds relocate
Forest rustles hibernate

Brisk, harsh breezes pierce l...

I can feel it slowly crumbling. 
The pieces have started falling to the floor. 
They instantly shatter.
I try to pick them up,

	Perhaps it's where I sit right now
	With sins just conjured from the past,
	Decisions made, though not in haste,
	Ideals  I thought would maybe last.
