The Eagles Nest
The master’s shelter
Once promised eternal reign
My city strangles
Now stolen by the seconds
before blurred and moth eaten
Tomorrow still yet formed
Destiny take its chance
laughter strangles silence
and noise creates the home
velvet voices dance with vibrating violins
octaves often overreached, to
inoculate innocence in
children's choirs, our
expectations exceeded, our experiences
string us along, and strangles us subtly
suffocating,
sooty smoke
swirls silent,
serpentine;
coils around,
hisses above
crude contours
of blackened
smokestacks;
strangles the air,
dims morning light,
darkens ashen fog:
toxic smog.
Courage is action
When terror strangles your heart
You act anyways
Violence subdued, men
Become peaceful, not harmless
Peace is self control.
Love exists only
When acted upon in pain
Love's not without grief.
TIME
Mantled with the cloak of
Time
Weaved by the hours’
Hands,
Man strangles to escape
Mortality’s embrace
But all his efforts
In no AVAIL:
The law of
Fate
Unchallenged remains!

No escape for words from freedom’s ink,
My blood is jailed in sleepless veins.
The tears of awareness dissolve belief,
Blades of grandeur slice my nerves,
And stillness strangles every motion,
Crushing rhythm into endless death.
The Infernal Serpent
coiled ’round the soul of man
strangles the love and understanding
imbued by the Creator
supplanting it with hatred and distrust.
The result
conflict

The sea is melting
The water level rises
To the eyes as tears
Even in earthquake
There is no wave in that lake
Grief numbs a man's heart
Birds taste their voices
The air clamours with fresh songs
He knows it is spring
The sun melts the mount
The river strangles silence
A vision of peace

Horror
Horror strangles me…stunned I see bestiality’s swords shred innocence…my tears light candles for hallowed healing.
Odd feels awkward
Feel not backwards
Odd angst linger
Point no finger
Odd strange regrets
Loss strangles set
Odd echoes curl
Sour tense now hurls
Odd flavours greet
On mad sad streets
Odd angles stake
Touch pampers fake

Singapore
I want to be free;
Free of this disguise.
I am held captive,
It chokes me inside.
The rope that strangles me;
Takes away every moment of Glee.
I wish I could be free,
From this eternity of misery.
I want to explore;
But I am bound to the shore.
Every time I try;
It burns mean to the price
Odd affair
Old style air
Prompts despair
In full flair
Jazz jangles
Mad tangle
Now strangles
Lost dazzle
Crazy craft
Pierce loose shaft
Leaking raft
Drowns old draft
Goodness strains
Watch wet rain
Flush old drains
To stream pain

Look now:
Do you see
Somehow
More clearly?
Look here:
Do you know
How fear
Strangles flow?
Look deep:
Do you find
How sleep
Can be kind?
Look well:
Do you feel
Thought tells
How glimpse heals?
Look then:
Do you dance
Here when
Joy flings chance?

Singapore
Such subtle strokes
Private pen pokes
Buzz busy boom
Rich rapture rooms
Strange strangles spoils
Oomph only oils
Touchy thoughts tell
Signals sure splice
Be beyond blame
Fool flashy flame
End easy etch
Swift sonic sketch
Dig deeper dear
Craft crazy cheer

My love is on a rope
A string from my heart
That dangles around my neck
A noose of love
That when pulled too tight
Strangles my trust
Walked like a tightrope
I tiptoe around your lust
A balancing act
From above
If I fall there’s
No net or glove
So I light myself on fire
And walk out on the wire
Waiting to see
If you truly love me
Grows like a weed
Strangles my mind
Takes over me
This evil vine
Planted in madness
Sadness it's seeds
Watered with fear
Sunned in mediocrity
It's ravaging, savage
It twists things, it lies
Pain's it's photosynthesis
That's how it survives
I have to break free of it
Hack off it's leaves
Pull it out from it's roots
Before it overgrows me.
In years, the real tyrant in any country is gross bigotry
It's like a rope that strangles the will to be free
It's like a poison that kills the heart of one's volition
It's like a potion that sways the whim of one's emotion
If on heaven's will I shall have the chance to live again
I'll not choose to be born in a land full of disdain

Mime in sweet chime
Rhyme cites crisp time
Joy in swift ploy
Employs fond toy
Bright words take flight
Sight in brisk light
Play on the way
Stray winds the day
Sketch in firm match
Catch a new batch
Voice words of choice
Poise strangles noise
Know what you show
Grow with prompt flow

Singapore
the one i love refuses to love me back
screams with joy to another
and whispers nothing to me
stares and mumbles
something uncomprehendable
But i long for his attention
seek for his voice
found his tolerance
and was rewarded with his vengence
i silently beg
turn around and notice
the girl sitting beside you
and...
evoke the pain that strangles mine heart
Form:
90 Mile Beach
Watching the waves surrender
The beauty of this dance
Played out like a contract killing
The wind rips at the land like a starving rat
Angry at the moon for the tide
Screaming for answers
She strangles the trees
Barely visible in the blue-black light
A silhouette against the sand
Longing for the horizon
He waits like a wayward anchor
So tell me a tale
Make it a grand sale
Tell me a story
But make it happy
There's just too much tears
That corrodes my cheer
So please tell me now
The why that strings hows
All I want to hear
Is poise in good cheer
I know too much fear
That strangles me here
Crowd your crisp telling
With happy endings

Hamlet Place, ACT
My memory endures a tourniquet
as it tries to forget, while holding blood.
It used to sport a bouquet
as it tried so hard to boast.
Bouquet becomes tourniquet.
A flow is held.
A part of me is throttled, my throat is squeezed.
It wants to loosen - but strangles.
Some things will not release.
Eyes will gawp, try to pop.
Memory can cause so much pain.
That tourniquet that holds so much.
(4 May 2003)
In the darkest room
In the bleakest corner
There I lay
Lash wounds across my skin
Dried blood upon my lips
A whimper strangles my throat
And you stand at the doorway
With menace in your eyes
And hatred in your heart
But somehow
Deep inside me
I love you
And when the sun kisses my skin
I hope in a moment of clarity
You see me in a new light
A human born
Just like you

There is no failure
While good challenge calls power
Of will to first try
Truth will lead the way
Like flashlight in dark of night
Paving each path bright
Start right now to cut
Blossoming complacency
That strangles like weeds
My drug of choice is:
The Word and my will to live
Filled with gratitude
For this we pray and
Reflect and exercise and
Dine on whole soul food.
