we learn then unlearn
how to be free  
as we trade secrets
with the magpies
of Arthur's Quay Park
it's' on these summer days
such promises are made
keeping us warm
through seasons change
as we dance
to The Golden Horde
where a two for one
concession on the door
grants access to Termites
and its' cider soaked floor
here in this world
we have all that we need
we feel it through
reverberations
of music and heart
we won't want for much
once we don't lose our senses
our senses of touch

the years would give
what the magpies stole
to a lakeside hotel
where the clinking of glass
greets a grand hall
wedding guests align
a ballroom of romance
two friends move
so lost in time
trying to adult
whilst never growing old
we won then we lost
and we won again
but i never promised riches
i never promised poems
so here is our world
and all that we have
we feel it through
celebrations
of our music and heart
we don't want for much
for we never lost our senses
our senses of touch
"We are two friends lost in time
when your eyes are passing mine
I see we've been through
so much in our lives
We are two friends so in love
the times we've been together,
We're true friends in time"

Edmund black
They say it’s always best to listen in silence
When you have a moment and in need of solitude.
But last night I dreamt of poetry
It has come calling, knocking  on my dome
Thunderously Whispering in my ears
Even though at times
It’s hard to understand it’s language
Even though at times
It drives me so (bleeping ) insane
Voices ,voices everywhere
At times The only way to make it stop is to fade-away
Because
At times it can be blinding
Like looking directly into the sun
At times it can be unbearable
Like having your heart broken
Into a million pieces
At times it can be dazing
Like having your head submerged
Underwater and your whole world
As you know it, Suddenly disappear
Like you’re swimming inside the clouds
A drift of forever lost moments
But whether I try avoid looking ,
Or refuse to listen to it’s voices
My desire to seek the secret of the Stars
My desire to kick wide open the Sky to see what awaits
Has my eyes darting
My mind racing
Heart beating
Ink cravings
Smiles and Frowns
Gracing my face
As if poetry wants to give me
Another reason
To leap forward
Another reason
For another Edmund black ambiance
Another reason
To dance once more
And another reason
To gifting myself for something
Greater than myself
A reason for a purpose
To share my love of words
To enlighten, to illuminate and to touch the infinite
Even when at times
Nothing else exists
So whether I love it or hate it
I’m always honored to obliged!
