bin liner
black mamba
danger danger
who can tell
where he came from
this foreign creature
tortuous twisting shape
of a snake
moving in the grass
bin liner mamba
danger danger
don’t bite me

Fallen seagull
Fallen seagull
lying there on the ground
disheveled shape
made from a plastic bag
one day you’ll fly free
and be reborn
from the streets you call home
Down by the sea
Down by the sea
The serene tranquility
Seagulls fly over
As the skies change
And the wind blows
Often one knows
The surrounding meaning
Is what wonders are made of
To the ends of the earth
when one sees
to the ends of the earth
what encompasses
has it’s worth
bring forth a new beginning
write down the meaning found
let the old ways pass
to be distributed around
make way for them
for they have seen the light
to banish darkness
that comes at night
through all that has been discovered
what has been revealed
to dream of each other
the reality is sealed
Love has found me
Love leaves us
like the tide
ebbs and flows
we feel the changes of the moon
as the stars reflect their light
bringing us home
seasons change
as we follow each other
across the continents
when we find the time
to reflect on what has come
we see our future
in each others eyes
love has found me
where I haven’t yet been
Dreams
dreams lead into dreams
let your conscious fly away
as the subconscious governs the night
succumb to Morpheus
let him be your guide
as you venture ever further
to reach an understanding
when you wake
and try to remember
has this been your life
that when you close your eyes
you are seeking surrender
in dreams
Blackbird
with your orange beak
what will you speak
in the garden green
your feathers pristine
moving around
up and down on the ground
bring about a shape
part of the landscape
flying away
watch him go today
Grey Days
Grey days
lead to contemplation
to find a place
when sunny days have gone
where the weather warmed the soul
as the heart beats freely
that feeling of spring
when autumn days have come
to darken the horizon
as winter is here again
Christmas Day
Christmas day
can you hear the bells ring
sitting around the Christmas tree
may you have a merry time
being a part of a family
may each gift bring joy
let the season of good will
bring love into your home
as the neighbours come round
or seeing close friends
greeting loved ones
let this time never end
the festivities have just begun
food is on the table
wine is being poured
crackers are pulled
best wishes bestowed upon all
Fire Escape
starlight during the day
I hear her call
moonlight shines down
I see her fall
escape down a fire escape
to hide from them all
embrace dreams
to hold a candle too
reposition life
to a standstill
beckon forth from within
thirst for knowledge
the key to begin
The Golden Tears
