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
