World. Poems

For a blissful moment

I sit silent to meditate
gather my thoughts breathe in and out
~ the world pauses for peace

Darkside of Aquarius

Boldly, the hellions appeared.
Riding in one-by-one pointing accusing fingers.
Out of the eerie darkness they rode,
as if from the depths of an abyss, they came.

The first offered aa toxic libation.
Lethal words ranted like a preacher
hurled like fire and brimstone.
A tenebrous warning as time runs out...
"Mothers keep your children at your knee.
Soon the world will dwell in

Blood Moon captivates sky-gazers around the world

I timed my departure to coincide with the
lunar eclipse, but the
eastern horizon wasn't apparent,
in the park, or at the top of the road
my local high points

I scanned the firmament along, with
other rando hopefuls but there was
no show to see so
onwards and upwards we went
as wine of a deep red hue
wasn't going to
buy or drink itself

Fight for what's right

I'm refusing to lose hope
there's rising evil in this idyllic world
~ let me catch my breath

School of Life

Nature’s chemical soup is ordered by catalytic love
Form and being are created to the beat of her mother’s heart
She bursts into the world, gulps her first breaths and cries
From that moment of birth her schooling begins

On leaving her mother’s womb she senses a vastness of sounds, lights and smells
Poorly formed shapes parade in front of

Infinite Cosmos, Infinite God

The God who did the cosmos spread,
is still alive, he is not dead.
Nietzsche declared that God is dead,
No wonder he soon lost his head.

The vastness of the universe
declares this God to me and you.
Only a God who’s infinite
can create what seems infinite.

The concept of infinity
reveals a godly quality. 
So, though the world seems infinite
yet only

Barefoot in a Winter World

My first steps, a shock,
bare feet on the cold white ground.
Soft powder covers
the world, a blanket of quiet.
My breath, a small cloud,
hovers in the frosty air.
I hear my sister's gasp,
my brother's shout of joy.
The cold stings my soles,
a thousand small needles.
I feel the small sting
and I want to run back,
back to the warm place.
But my

Autumn Wind

As the sun sets down beyond my sight,
while leaves turn from green to red
and all is dark save for the light
shining from stars overhead;
whose light now just barely shows.
The leaves that fall from the trees,
and all the while cold autumn wind blows
from the forests to the seas.

And as the wind now passes by,
whispering without a

A goal for Three Point

The goal is to score a goal
Go for goal and earn three points
The world stage football festival seems cold
Thou art giant among Aficans
Set the pace and surmount Mount Rwandan
The rest will bow down

Plight

People of other faiths, in other nations are also dying,
but, to their plight the whole world is not crying.

Meeting somewhere in the middle

face to face worlds apart
words go quiet when sad eyes meet
it's hearts' turn to speak

In a proxy war

In a clash of burgers and biryani,
Manchurian with Russian fares so many,
All else that watch the fun
From fence with just bread-bun…
To guess who’ll lose, who’ll win,
It’s too early a scene,
Seems, burgers might lose their ‘reserved’ penny.

No Longer the World

Everything changes; life rearranges
The way that, for years, things would be.
We go with the flow, for what we used to know
Is no longer the world we can see.

It isn’t just age, for when people engage
With each other, the way that they act
Seems more crude and imbued with a mean attitude
That is lacking in manners and

The ABCs of Surviving The End Of The World

Always remember to pack the essentials,
Bat, Bottle, Bag, Boots,
Cut down anyone who tries to get in the way,
Don't look them in the eye, it only makes it harder,
Enemy, everyone is the enemy, yes, even them,
Find what you can, anything, you'll need it later,
Get up, you don't have time to rest, not yet,
How have you survived

Fall's Fury

The vibrant world now rots and wanes,
in envious, burning, final pains.
