Word-Weary
I don't choose the muse
the muse chooses me
but when I need her most
then whereabouts is she
abandoned and self-mocked
not word one could I pen
with writer's block
my fate cast to the wind
but if the wraith had knocked
as does opportunity
I couldn't tell
on the other hand
her silence rings a bell
so left to my own devices
of weft warp and weave
forged

Tapestry
Times colours wrap around seasonal dreams
Weaving pictorial thinking with silken words
That sew themselves to the pictures you see,
While warp and weft combine to story tell
Of life within the veil of faithful hearing
As trials attempt to rip the weft and tear the warp
From earthen cloth that talks of tapestry hung,
And story woven in earth's natural colour;
Did

Nuptial Time Warp
If we stayed young
and didn’t age
would marriage last
to turn the page
Would love endure
and pledges stay
with time becalmed
— and youth sustained

Time Warp
The scars left by those yesterdays
Leave her trapped in the past
With a never ending pain
As melancholy shadows are cast
Her heart finds it hard to dance
To the beat of love
Memories leave her in confusion
As she searches for elusive answers from skies above
She seeks freedom from her illusions

Warp, Inc
I work for Warp
It’s a warporation
That builds for war
And our warring nation
Financed by banks
With no inclination
To give their thanks
For the world’s cremation
Wily banksters
Have mastered inflation
Besting gangsters’
Fake money creation
They were dead set
To make a cash fountain
That’s based on debt
Higher than a mountain
Which is a boon
For us workers at Warp
Where we’ve ballooned
Into a mega-corp
Yet have no fear
Unless

Self Involved Warp of Coziness
each artist is working in their own world
they share a studio, but none are aware of others
they are in a self-involved warp of coziness
one with their canvas, paints calling to them
each one in a bubble of self-indulgence,
distracted by nothing, comfortable in their cocoon of art

Warp Speed
Holidays go by quickly, as if they don’t want to hang around. My life seems to be happening at warp speed.
Lisa and I start our two-month summer fellowships tomorrow. It’s hard to believe it’s actually happening. Like most things in my life, this fellowship started as an obligation to my mom - shrouded in vague,

Space-Time Warp
Immersed in a space-time bubble,
memory lost, soul’s in trouble,
for now it is entrapped therein,
knowing not how it may begin
to claw its way back into light,
without help of spherical sight,
with the only tool to access
is to opt for thought flow recess,
since silence restores cognition
of it’s true self by ignition
of polarities within form,
manifesting a benign storm

Time Warp
Loving you is like chasing a rainbow
From many years ago
When your existence began to show
And my fate began to glow
I wish to roll back the hands of my time
And hold your clock still
So our seasons will rhyme
So do with what we feel

Warp Factor 3
Walking into something blinded by light
A painful and embarrassing experience
Remember that excessive speed can kill
Planets might be hidden at speed of light
Forget the bright idea show intelligence
A vehicle which travels faster and faster
Cannot change direction in an emergency
The light might be visible and also fluidic
Obstructions dangers will always be solid
Remember law of

Warp Factor 2
What is after speed of light is it darkness
At the very edge of our known universe
Reaching beyond our human endurance
Please we want to take you to our leader
Facing a choice to return back to earth
Aliens came in peace but beat a retreat
Cause they couldn't understand humans
Terrorising each other because of greed
Oh the joy keeping

Warp Factor
We boldly go where no one has gone before
All because we couldn't travel as fast as light
Remember that space is vast in all direction
Power is necessary if we're to boldly go there
Firstly we left earth gravity then we see space
Acceleration is a key factor to space travelling
Collision inevitable due to flying debris around
To keep

Time Warp
They say you can’t
Go home again.
But I did.
Not a good decision!
There’s a time warp
Between then and now.
Things shrink in size.
Memories shatter
In the light of now.
Where is the couch I hid
Behind to read
So I didn’t have to
Go out and play?
Where is the tree I
Loved to climb?
The people are gone.
The rooms are empty.
Even

Welcome To the Time Warp
Welcome to the Time Warp
Does it seems that history seemingly repeats
Where the simplicity of life is so rare to find
And the kindness of heart finds no retreats
No sharing of wealth, greediest of mankind
Where fear amongst the masses abound
Perpetrated by forces designed to protect us
Where human rights are lost without a sound
Our way of
