Remember
those nameless facless
heaps
of broken dreams
wasted with artillary assult
consumed by hatred
gifted from enemies far off.
Remember
the defenceless
dreamer
who thought and thought
into the abyss of forgetfulness.
Remember
the blood as it screams
for release...
no yet but now
many a young deseased
dying.
Remember
as you rest at deaths door

While I wait…
While I wait -
Let me just say
It is not great -
I have to day
I will wait.
I see the glimmer
of hope as it shivers
awake
stretching just so
over the rainbow
so for my sake
I will wait.
Though seas of shadows
lap at me,
they break
then I can see
the impossibilites...
my home
site now is driftwood
on it I shift
see on it
budding olive leaves
peeking up at me,
I smile,
wave hello,
because I know...
I must wait.
The Time…
measured
stretched
beaten to a pulp.
Forged in the fire
scorched in brine
life
sits on your
dreams take flight.
The time will come
while you muddle around
confusion jumps
tongue twisted with lies
somehow deprived
a loosening of ties.
The time will come
to disengage with "reality"
step into truth
see your vulnerability
wave goodbye to abuse
climb down fairytale trees
no more excuse
to drown in fantasy
of what you could do.
The time has come,
no longer lame
and claim
de love.
Ready,
Set,
Run
Reclaim...
The Lion Roars…
Faced with adversity
He roars
the attackers are many
He does not shrink
Hair raised
power forged
feet planted
ready to spring
a twitch
a swish
and the enemy knows
woe to those who goes
where the Lion roars.
neck stiff
back riddled
with scars
he stands
majestic in his knowledge
many battles won
some lost
still he stands
regal in the knowledge
of his pride
never undone
heart of a Lion.
Oikia
Four walls
so simple
looks so strong
fragile
inhabited by memories
a gentle rub
squeeze
pat on the back.
cozy nights
whispered dreams
possibilities shared
locked away like a treasure
held dear.
I remember like yesterday
a warm hug
light pouring from eyes
of love
forgiven always
tursted words
secrets bottled
sent to sail
love lives here
redemption secured
a ceremony for life performed
on the bank of expereince
a knowing told and told
until the new traveler remembers
seared on a willing heart.
Those Days
Those days...
You know those days?
Those days
that stretch into forever and beyond...
those days
when the light is dim
and you have to call on Him
when your shadow
cries for you
groans deep down
in its belly bottom
and sweet release passes untrue
as you knew it would.
But for the grace of God
where would I be?
It is those days
when you cry
"I will fight!"
I will fight
for I will live
and not die!
And as the shadows pass over
you know,
those days will become your yesterdays...
Bad Girl
You're not a good girl
you are not nice
today
you made mistakes
today
you're not a good girl.
You did not smile
most days
say hello
with a smile on your face
you got nothing done
you are not good.
you have done
nothing right
for a good while
no good
you are not good.
you told a lie
last night
today -
you caused offense -
disrepected
disappointed
you are not good.
Can I be human?
