New Zealander I write poems when I ponder the universe. / Maybe this is because I do not have a long beard to stroke... / Do you?
Incubate eternity through their wisdom Worship the strategic plan Alarm clocks ring Wedding bells sing Worship the strategic plan Manipulate the walls of existence Look past life's deceit Question why The babies cry Look past life's deceit Contemplate our insignificance Find comfort in the unknown A grain of sand Among foreign lands Find comfort in the unknown Deviate dreams and appeared aspirations Don't fret a "greater purpose" Why plan ahead? Just live instead Don't fret a greater purpose

Mapped Out
Life's a garden. When the world is telling you "Don't be a *** Just "Dig it"

Dig it.
Sometimes I ponder... why clothes mannequins have ******* why regular sized food doesn't taste as good as nibbles. why having had braces makes me dribble, more than I did before Why would Dr. Oz tell me to stay tuned, until after the ad break, if he wants me to do more exercise? I ponder this in my fat pants... Maybe I don't fear the unknown, as much as the next guy, the insignificant life forms we are, why do we care so much? Bobby D isn't satisfied with any answers, the meaning of life just doesn't add up. Perhaps I can trust him, he hasn't given up yet... Since I can't stroke my long beard of wonders, I pat my cat and stare thoughfully into the distance, except my mind is blank and full of nothingness. I lick the fatty goodness from the french fries off my fingers. "Don't listen to them" says my conscience, "Conforming gets you nowhere".

Life.
Chamomile and honey Polka-dots and money Teacup pigs are funny I'm cold when it's sunny Take me to your house Treat me like your spouse More quiet than a mouse Less violent than a louse Seek and you will find The bobbin that I wind All in love are blind Stay always on my mind Different is good Don't conform to your 'hood The trees will bring you wood Trust in them you should Never fear the unknown For the trees have grown The wind has blown The birds have flown My soul has shown

Chamomile and Honey
A cheery chime of the doorbell, Shoes off, slippers on, A familiar yell greets us from the kitchen, Lunch will be soon no doubt Warm embraces envelope me, Nana looks up into my eyes, My you have grown! Granddad still towers above me, A lanky man, his pants too short, And consequently, knee high socks Tummies rumbling violently, The lounge our waiting room, No need for breakfast today, We brace ourselves for the upcoming feast Ornaments line shelves in cabinets, Each one with its own back story, Immaculate as always, Not one speck of dust Everything just so, just as I remember it Usual inquires take place, How’s school, how’s work, what’s new Granddad has a new joke, An interesting fact about the universe, A story from his times in the war Did I tell you about that joker? He reckoned he didn’t like potatoes! A call to the dinner table, Plates of food, Tetris pieces, Fitting into place A mountain faces me, My challenge, the question is, Can I conquer it? Eyes meet, we smile, Mountains conquered, Bellies fit to burst, All on the brink of explosion, Nana brings out dessert Yet another, it was thought, impossible victory Would anyone like anything to finish up with? We nod, Nana smiles Not even mountains could prevent us, From jelly cake and biscuits

My You Have Grown
I do not belong. No direction No motives No goals The last puzzle piece Noone ever seems to find Everything Keeps you awake Nudging at your bones Knocking on your thoughts An unwelcome visitor Upset No reason Blurred and fuzzy Life loses reception Uncertainty's latest victim Dead end Confused The map is blank Direction ceases Pathway unknown Welcome to "Nowhere".

Stuck
Deep, way deep Inside your mind You’ve walked its paths A thousand times Storing all of What you once knew Parts remain lost Some come back to you Twists and turns Some good, some bad Longing for the future Yet begging for what you had Deep, way deep Inside your soul All of your emotions They truly show The grass surrounds you Continues to grow And simultaneously You continue to mow Lying there Watching the clouds With another Sharing thoughts aloud Back to reality The truth isn’t so sweet When you feel now What lies beneath your feet
