let the water flow
so wastefully to the sea
it’s stupidity
you call yourself a vandal…
because it’s cooler than dumb?

Once upon a time
I had the time to reflect
Seasons come quickly
So as the end approaches
Ev’ry flower is a gift

words fail to arrive
i stare at an empty page
while the cursor mocks
blinking away the seconds
then i reach for a pencil
‘times you need a son
to remind you why you’re here
always a sweet thing
to know that he will be there
not just for this fathers day
…
(this is my talented son’s latest song – he does all the instruments, sings and produces the clip – maybe I’m biased, but its Dad’s Day, I’m allowed haha! Love ya mate)

perfect eyeliner
concealer fails to conceal
ambiguity
…
haute couture flows above heels
she holds her breath, and then sings
sun, don’t touch me yet.
winter’s pain still lingers strong
in darkness I dwell
…
with melancholy on me
I don’t want your warm embrace
sometimes there’s a god
who’s whispering through the trees
humming through the earth
reminding me of my place
and my duties in this life
walking the dog
a gap in the mist
frames once secret silhouettes
mystery revealed
beauty lingers long after
smokescreens slip back into place
Clamorous lunchtime
Silenced as summer sizzles
Pensive cicadas
Await passing predators
Mirages suggest relief
silver moonlight slants
bathing autumns fallen leaves
sleepless feet wander
through memories of summer
the vixen wears a new coat
