we sleep

            with the sunrise,

tightly woven

into the                                                       shadows

like a

     coarse

fabric,

our hands

                                the clumsy stitches

                                that hold us together.

Through all my struggles.
You were there.
And I owe you.
More than possible.

And if I ever reached the top of success.
Rest assured.
You will be acknowledged with each step.

I'm so amazed.
How wealth change people perspectives?
That those that struggle with you.
Is tossed aside.
For someone new.
What happen to the love?

Notice the famous that have turned?
And replaced the one that stood beside them.
When they didn't have a dime.

Did success make them totally blind?
That they upgraded for a new love.
Who has never faced the reality of true struggles?

I give you my word.
As I did with my vows.
That through better or worse.
We be together.
Like that day we were in church.

I just remember.
When my success comes.
You were there.
So, why I need a new lover?

Oh Hippy Hippypotamus
can't ride a bike
can't catch a bus
but unlike you or I or us
he wont complain
or make a fuss
he never swears or dares to ***
cause he's well bred
this Hippy Hippypotamus

A young man walks with his head down
Through a town on the outskirts of Hell
Averting his gaze from defeated eyes
For the world and its ways, he knows well

And hope, its flesh rotting in historic corners
Festering with all that ever mattered
And dreams, painstakingly painted on glass
In shards, forgotten and shattered

Oh, the futility of care for tomorrow
Of prayers, aspirations and wishing
And causes constructed of good intent
Discarded, strewn and missing

Yet light still flickers amid black clouds
And sunlight does grace certain places
And there are still those who stand true and proud
And smiles adorn their faces

His smile
applied blusher
to the
sweet young
maidens cheeks.

I shall burst forth in acrobatic grace
everyone should feel my spirit
without regard for anyone's perspective
to everything laid flat!

It is best to express yourself with laughter and singing
The sun disperses all of the clouds, the rain has stopped

Luminosity

Today I set off walking from home to highways end,
not minding wind and weather in my search to find a friend.
I saw the sun arising and I saw it as it set,
and still I keep on walking as my friend as yet unmet.
I found a young girl crying leaving puddles on the ground,
so I bid her walk beside me as for yet my friend unfound.
We saw a man so nervous that he quickly tried to hide,
but together we encouraged him to come walk by our side.
A woman possessed by demons that doubted her self worth,
was the next to join our party as we walked this pleasant earth.
Children in need of guidence and adults that lost their way,
slowly joined our gathering as we searched both night and day.
Young and old of many colours many creeds and different faiths,
made up our growing numbers of the long forgotten waifs.
Well we lifted up the fallen and we carried the sick and lame,
and searched as one together for the one for which I came.
We gathered to us safely the mute the deaf the blind,
and held their hands to lead them for not one was left behind.
So although I searched in ernest my friend was never found,
for a friend is but a stranger that you've yet to invite round.
Remember then whilst walking in an unfamiliar place,
that the person that you meet next could be wearing a sad face.
It would only take a moment to change it to a smile,
and maybe you can join us as we walk the golden mile.
