Chasing shadows to mirages
chasing a light's glow
is fraught with daft illusions
shadows grow and fade
mirages beckon off-road ~
echoes are hopes oft broken...

London and Mouses
Victoria couch station does not go
To sleep.
It's not even a one third of an aesthetic
But poets make frogs into princes so
...
I see the becoming in change. The
Comfort of being taken to a
Known destination not needing
To know the way.
It happens only in travels like that.
I see the becoming in repetition. A
Man sweeping the...

CROSS COUNTRY BUS JOURNEYToday’s thought
Tomorrow’s venture
Bags packed
Wheels ready to spin
A Greyhound bus open road ready to begin
The journey through state to state
Stopping at towns being no mistake
Four days travel
Freeway wind
Various interstate routes
Distance far
Bus comfort than a car
Recline and relax
America’s acquaintance
Passerby wave
High Mountains up look
Heart of hope
The sense of cope
A friendly hand
Goodness in the land
Major cities after major cities...

Ways of Providence“The only real influence I've ever had was over myself.”
The Artist Edward Hopper ( Re: Altering or creating Providence.)
Assuming there are more brilliant ways,
That our life takes twists and turns like a maze,
Yet do we have influence over unforeseen plans,
For our future and the way it evolves and spans ?
I believe that our...

In the abyssal silence of fading stars, I travel through shadowsIn the abyssal silence of fading stars, I travel through shadows,
Under the heavy eyelids of night, I walk the ancient, nameless path.
Mysterious words, like an old prayer, roll in echoes,
Calling the forgotten spirits of the forests to dance under the moon.
I feel my soul cradled by the cosmic wind, on its unseen wings,
In an embrace...

Plane JourneyI fasten my seatbelt,
Remembering the Testament
I had scribbled —
The leanest Testament ever.
In it I had written,
Among other tattered rubbish?
I have nothing
Naked I came
Naked I shall fly away.
Seated by the window,
I borrowed courage from
The wings of frightened birds.
With one grunt of mechanical breath,
My feet squelched off the grimes of the
Soil,
And I befriended the skies,
My heartbeat louder...

REPATRIATIONI left with a bag of dreams
and a heart full of hope.
The roads were wide
but none felt like home.
I spoke in borrowed voices
slept under unfamiliar skies.
Smiled through winters
that never thawed my bones.
But something kept pulling
a voice, a scent, a song.
A name I once answered to
still waiting where I belong.
Now I return, not empty
but carrying what...

Honolulu
If you're going to Honolulu
be sure to wear a flower behind your ear
if you're coming to Honolulu
you're going to meet some gentle people here
more than just a fashion statement
a plumeria represents birth love
spring and new beginnings
so it’s no surprise
a woman's romantic status
it can also symbolise
if you're married or unavailable
wear it behind your left
on the right...

Howlin' Like The Wolf
We're goin' out to Idaho where the potatoes grow
honey we're leavin' quite soon
but if you call it quits then I've had my chips
and like the wolf I'll be a-howlin' at the moon
I'm over this Sunshine State yeah I can hardly wait
baby we're leaving at noon
but if you say 'No way!' and you wanna stay
like the...

Roots That Breathe Within My HeartbeatRoots That Breathe Within My Heartbeat
At every step,
their shadow guides me,
My father, steady as an oak in the breeze,
my mother, tenderness in all that feeds.
Their hands wove the thread of my fate,
with patience, love, and a steady gait.
Though time may rush and the world may spin,
my heart always flows back to...
