There's a power inside
everyone

It cannot be quantified
could this be destructive?
or help us stay alive?

The line between
Mr Pink
and the
Madcap's laughs

For every gain
there was a loss

What gain?
a song
called

Smile like an amused infant
                       as
         the crow hops from
                the tree

Death there is no room for you
          close my eyes to see
    
 Wasps and poisonous serpents
       burst upon a blank page
                                                            ­                    
      The sun had licked at it
          yellowing with age

Rip you out and burn you!
       it's better this way

Having faced you so many times
      I'm stepping on a new stage

My old coat
you are the best,

Others come and go,
but you have
stood the
test

I never mended that hole
in your pocket,
because it's fun
finding out
what's hiding
in the
lining

The tyranny of the dull mind,
All’s lost
if you
cannot
be
kind

The tyranny of the dull mind,
That dark place,
that made
you
blind

Time went so fast.
I turned around and you were passed,
Without you
I wouldn’t have the fight,
Now I have
The inner light

I never met you.
What can I say,
Still think of you every day

In the darkness
Of your room,
Banishing all the gloom,
Now there is a light,
You soul has taken flight

Child kisses the mouth
Of the shadow dog,
Water on her arm
“The moon”

Watching the circular ripples
Expanding

And me,
Watching her,
I glimpsed something,
Something I had lost

This is why I’m so touched,
By
What a child
Can see

Open up the word book,
What do you see?
Poem’s of the mind in 3D

A stream of consciousness
On every page,
It’s your mind I hope to engage

So put on your imaginary glasses,
And
Have another look,
What stands up
Inside a poet’s book
