I think of you still, with just enough sour to taste the sweet. In a solo adagio movement the memory of you is never complete. I scream your name in silence and hope you hear me. From these marshlands let it be. I remember you as perfect, perfect isn’t true. It would be if IContinue reading “Awareness In The Dark”

As The Night Sets In
With balloons and union flags lets meet. We’ll sing and dance in the street. But tonight, let me see and hear you. One knee still on the floor. He, like him, are not with us anymore. My girl, I have not left you behind. I’m waiting for you to overtake me. The battle is inContinue reading “As The Night Sets In”
Seville
A miracle splashed from out the blue sea. Dabbed dry with grattitude, as a melody played, beautifully. Seville now 180 minutes away. Smudge, I now know we can fly. I didn’t have dreams when I was young. It makes me won’t to cry. Through all the suffering and pain. It’s hard not to think likeContinue reading “Seville”
We Felt The Rain
When darkness faced the deep, we felt the rain. Your heartache wiped my tears. Introduced through our pain. I put my faith in that smile, unsure of what was to come. But God watched on. I saw His throne inside the sun. Their vision blurred with lies. Though not our eyes. Our eyes will seeContinue reading “We Felt The Rain”
The feast of St, George

Never to recant his faith in the Lord. Advanced, gifted with the sword. Soldier of the Christ. Fought courageously in belief. compelled evil to hell as angels roared in raw relief. Onwards to the realm. Converging from afar with Godly squall and brush of helm. Under his pennon they…
Night Sky
I stare at the night sky. Beyond the abyss. Patterns produce beats calling me into action. Shedding a light into my soul. Sparking the reaction. Good and evil crossing fine lines. I now graft like I’m dancing. Embrace responsibility like rhymes. There’s victory in a rock pile. Smash, smooth and stack them. Offer them andContinue reading “Night Sky”
The Otherside
One day felt longer than a week. I now no longer hide. But what’s behind the waterfall I seek. Looking in from the otherside. Old and Young. I want the knowledge of the departed. With air still filtering in my lungs. When you’re alone pass by one time. Help make it mine. Lets collaberate, I’llContinue reading “The Otherside”
Free Speech
Sit or stand. But lets talk freely, find out what we think. Stamping our position in the world. It’s the antidote we drink. Listen learn, then them you can teach. Utter what you believe. Even if foolish in your speech. Swallow your errors let me criticise. You will move forward. We learn nothing in ourContinue reading “Free Speech”
Iron Sharpens Iron
I prayed in my perplexity. There stood a woman, blessed with beauty a slave to her integrity. My complexity shook her for a moment. I watched a tear roll down her cheek. We spoke of why I act. Now it’s my thoughts I speak. Iron sharpens iron. Now for them I can stand strong. TheContinue reading “Iron Sharpens Iron”
Pretty as a Picture
We stared without words. I was lost in your eyes. A connection without words. Not fabricated with lies. The joy of heaven shone uncomplicated. Without need for St. Paul to convince me. Nor did I need the code of Da Vinci. Now one less tear in my heart. A rose petal taken the spot. HardContinue reading “Pretty as a Picture”
