I had this dream in mind from last night, but couldn’t find a place for it here… Get there before it’s too late the road is sludge, so it’s a hard, hard slog but each step follows the last step splashing mud everywhere Good thing clean clothes aren’t that important it’s the work, always the [...]

Frayed (a poem)
A long day. Only one poem, but an improvement on yesterday… Is there another way to make the spark if the first encounter isn’t enough? Disappointment hovers so near the surface I can hide it, but I know it’s still there even as desire stretches me taut and tendons fray All the turmoil hidden thoughts [...]
That’s what Xmas means to me (A poem)

(I don’t have a title for this one yet) (a poem)
One of the advantages of going early at an open mic is that there is plenty of time to be inspired by everything that is going on… I don’t know the chords I just write the letters and hope you answer I don’t have a stamp I just try to make an impression and hope [...]
A Lifetime Worth Exploring
I want to feel you I want to touch you I want to taste you I want to breathe you I want to know what it’s like to speak with your voice to see through your eyes to dream in your sleep in your arms on your chest between your legs around your waist tangled [...]
The Call
Trees by lamplight Water flowing The silence speaks it’s all-knowing All I can do is to listen and hope that I truly hear her voice when she beckons me now to draw me near When I hear the call I must go I must go So I go (29 June 2013)
