Just like mother, like daughter.
Same sin committed,
Though one has better chances
Of reclaiming her true love....

Trying to be present,
  I gave up the master plan

Sacrificing what’s past beyond
  —reclaiming who I am

Contagion of anxiety,  
a blanketing wind 
Deafening all
with the force of its emptiness
Reclaiming the silence
—in betrayals of fear

The winds of disaster
blow solemn and cold,
sweeping away my heart

From out of the North,  
reclaiming my soul
—in torment to depart

Little steps towards solitude 
Inner eye feasts on control
When small belief is penitent, impetuous 
Growing doubt buried

Rise from the shackles of fury
Reclaim the lost goal...

forlorn beach awaits
high tide of life, reclaiming 
wasted stones, sands

bringing back boats
loaded with catch of happiness
prosperity, festivity, longivity

desire the chain and revenge our refrain

seeking expansion, to God prays
reclaiming innate bliss nature
far above form caricature 
divine love and light, our mainstay

Racing toward the rampage of the storm
Raging river ripping free roots 
Rocking the foundation form
Reeling back in the loot 
Rocks raking through wood 
Reclaiming home 
Render goods 
Unknown
Roam

The seed of a park,
Indigenous plants emerge;
Reclaiming beauty.

password to open the heart forgotten 
we wandered earth like a deluded ghost
then one day we became a child again
meaning innocence was then soul’s outpost
cleansed of stain, we broke free from ego’s chain
reclaiming light by God’s love begotten...

God’s breath withdrawn
feeble form fell
strangely heart was calm
then the current was restored 
rekindling life in dust

ignorance thus dispelled 
wayward ego aligned
with the pulse of love sublime
resting machinations of mind
reclaiming inner light...

I trace the path of murder, reclaiming
the blood stains
on grass. Becoming a stranger
in my own land.

Stranger ? Yes.
Lead name missing.
Always wanted

less than enough. 

I bare my chest
scrawling a blue butterfly trying to
unwrap the colour.

Buried in the sand of ill regret,
a rifle washes free
Remembrance of a time when darkness coiled,
a snake of Russian greed
Its chambers empty, sights removed,
it could not, would not, fire
Perdition’s tide reclaiming fast
—its shame into the mire

(Warsaw: March, 2022)...

I’ve felt the stir of resolution
to throw off careless greed.

I’ve heard the soothing voice of reason,
long thought to be extinct.

So pound your plowshares into words,
turn your anger into votes.

Let’s march together towards sanity,
reclaiming fragile future’s hope....

Stars race as
Time in space
Aligning themselves
Inside the solar system
Resuming 
Westward
Alluring
Yellow-orange
Twilight
Older
Than
Heaven's
Exuberant
Symmetry
Terrifically
Arranged
Reclaiming 
Supremacy

Tapping into redemptions dream,
I put my smaller dream aside

And reveled in its greater power,
reclaiming truth from lies

So blessed in this light ablaze,
than by candlelight unknown

In thanks I kindle warm again
recharged—with heart aglow

Moon Story

The moon is fractured 
by hawthorn trees
cracked in velvet 
Twigs formed 
act as structure before its mirror
Silver and black, 
hopeless and hopeful 
as our forever 
the frozen superior quietness that rises 
silent and slow
reclaiming ancient shadows
washing living ground...

lost souls wander
in deep discontentment
hypnotised by the environment 
yet reclaiming in an instant
vibrancy of their soul
in staid silence

aliveness here now
immediate and intimate
delights in the beauteous dance 
unaffected by outcomes
being always free

as a drop in the ocean of vast space
both distinct and yet part of the whole
all that that remains for us to do
is to entwine with oneness in our life role

so to this end our will we bend
melding, merging with the all-that-is
and thus in wonderment ascend
reclaiming in heart, love’s bliss fizz...
