Maybe the fall,
Is gravity's call.

At one with the universe,
Floating around amniotic fluid,
Not being coerced.

How
My heart aches,
When the water breaks.

Separation begins,
As does the crying,
The cord has been
Cut.

This is no oedipus complex, but a state of grace.

Burn

The candle,
Only for yourself,
And your success,
After all it only gives enough ligh5
to find your way.

Begin the Beguine

Eat when you are hungry
and when you’re tired sleep
Stop all the questioning
Life isn’t all that deep

“If You Meet the Buddha on the Road, **** Him”

She had the look

She’s got the look
The image just right,
She’s got the look
Intelligent so bright.
She’s got the look
Heart of gold
She’s got the look
Always hot never cold
She’s got the look
Bucketfuls of humour
She had the look
She died of a
brain tumour

More than words

You ask me what you are to me—
but how do I explain
that without you,
the light feels dimmer,
the world quieter,
and I—
less alive?

You are not a chapter.
You are the reason
the story keeps going.

The Disappointed Pool Frog

Like a Pool Frog
at a dry river bed.
Like the flow
of a water garden
in the dry season.
I am stilled.
I am struck dumb.
I am Walpoled.

Walpole Park, Ealing has a curiously dry 'water garden'.
