New Zealander Impressed by my daughter's Hello Poetry site...(Macaila Pescud), I was inspired to join up and add a line or two to this site. My daughter is my inspiration. Her poetry's amazing! Check it out! / Over the years i have written a number of what i would call art songs. I will post a few of them here as poems.
The Fire-Horse snorted Fire and was gone The Wood Dragon was left In a forest of lost dreams A reason in mind she could not see And the Sheep she bleated And the Monkey she chatted 'Is this what I want?' Said the thousand little voices in her head The busy bee flew in her ear And down the long and twisty hall Alive with thoughts unwanted The Dragon sat with a knotted tail Mummy we need you Mummy we need you Mummy we need you Woke the Dragon from her reverie She flew off and flew with a flurry For to save her children dear Found in the wicked paw In the midst of a were-wolfs lair Now his ears' being in tune with the ether The Fire-Horse flew across the sky In a blaze he was beside her Saving their children dear And the Sheep she bleated And the Monkey she chattered 'What took you so long?' Said the thousand little voices in her head. Well in anger they breathed their worst And together their fire raged This time not at each other But at the wolf in his cave Out he came very coward With his tail between his legs Oh he pleaded a greasy mercy But they sent him packing in a burning blaze!

Ode to the Seperated Family- A Modern Fairytale
What can this be? Are you my perfect escape Maybe the hidden gate That leads to the Garden of Eden My own peaceful heaven How can this be? I feel the waves of the sea Washing over me As if I were a beach and you were the ocean Drowning me in tides of emotion Can we have some loving? That we can believe in For this world has been a thief And has stolen our belief But this love could retrieve it

Perfect Escape
Ah my heart, what have you done? How much grief, how much sorrow have you spun? Quiet now Run to a quiet place We don't know the answers to the questions we might have to face Humility and Grace, please will you clothe me Acceptance make her place like a sweet friend beside me May truth be the arrow that splits through the apple On my head be the matter It won't let me rest Love's innocent face is marred and debased Honesty has put it to it's test Oh no Come dawn the morrow with the rising of the sun On a clear blue day when the raining has been done Honesty held out her hand Said "Come let me free you, From all the lies you choose to believe that deceive you. You convinced yourself well So you could pretend and deny Protect and defend all you do and justify." Come dawn  the morrow Ah wisdom am I deaf to your voice? Where were you when I made the choice? Now I come to you too late I fear What is your counsel? Pray let me hear?

My Heart What Have You Done?
If I could Reach through the distance Just for a moment And touch you If you could Allow yourself The pleasure to feel For that moment until The moment was gone Then you could let all your walls Swallow the hole again Leave you to yourself again Or whatever Just don't be frightened You go as far As your own star If I told you I envy you And the life you have all around you If it looked like I wanted to steal Your lucky star Hitch-hike a ride In your lucky car Just don't be frightened I know we only go far When we follow our own star

Steal Your Lucky Star
I walked into you You walked into me And there it stood How could I help from feeling Everything? How could you stop from knowing me? Like ghosts inside each other We held each other inside ourselves There's always a trace of your face And a sense of your soul in my soul You orbit my world Like only a ghost could. The world is round so we found Not so long ago we didn't know There is more that is real And has made itself known In almost a solid way How can it be understood? It's only soul knowing, soul reaching Out into dream-time My body's like a hologram The world is a picture passing through it's frame As do my thoughts, as does my soul In and around me and stretching outside To a double reality Where my eyes cannot go but only my soul can sense and know I will meet you Out past the edge Out past the far horizon Out beyond Where thoughts become solid Connecting with other worlds With a life of their own The world is round

The World Is Round
Sometimes I feel like a bird with clipped wings Sometimes I feel like a fish in a fish bowl Sometimes I feel like a lion in a cage Sometimes I feel like a star in space Times when I'm on the moon when I'm in this room with you My minds far away making it's escape on an unknown tune Times when I'm so near I could be inside you I know all your dreams Feel all your feelings It's in this place I understand you It's in this place I understand that love Love is boundless

Star in Space
You and me We share unfinished conversation and broken sentences And in between the moments interrupted Are long white tenses. We swim in a sea of great big ears And look at a sky of wide eyes And there on the shore A hundred mouths or more Ready to Shout Out LOUD All the snippits and snappets Spread like butter All bittered and battered How would you like some feelings on your toast To haunt you like a ghost Just something shared Just some kind care So why's it lying there Shivering and bare So I'm writing and thinking and fighting and tempted To crawl through the floor I'm lying on my bed trying to remember what was said Some kind of question To try or test me What kind answer Will rest me. I've got feelings with no voice Feelings with no choice Over what they are Despite what I said about owning your own star Sometimes I wonder Do stars unite In the night And are feelings Something to fight? You know if I could I would Love you And shouldn't Just wouldn't Know.

Sea Of Ears
Sanctuary Place of rest Oasis The truth hasn't finished with me yet The judge sits in his seat The jury shuffle their feet To the nether lands of my soul escapes a dream To oasis Tell me, When the final question has been asked And the final judgement has been passed What then? My love My dove... Will truth be satisfied? That to myself I have not lied? Lay down your shield Your sword and your gun Just for this while Let the fighting be done Come rest your head In the shade My love, My dove Here In sanctuary Place of rest Oasis.

Oasis
I, I'm in a desert All alone in an empty desert Sand is blowing all around me Sand is blowing over me Sand will one day cover me Under the desert I kiss the eye Of the storm in the sky Here comes the rain to bring me flowers Rain is flowing all around me Rain is flowing over me Rain will one day Recover me From under the desert.
