The fox took the rabbit.

Strange addiction caused affliction I try to wash it out of me
Deep inside only human sighs of what keeps me not free
A smokers vice is it's own device to burn can't you see
Death defy one more try to give up what I breathe
Two blind holes where are my eyes burnt into black grief
I can only sympathise arthritis is coming like a thief
It's time to realize a waste of passion of everything that lies beneath
We were meant for greater things like athletes but our peers disagreed and not strong enough to resist the fox took the rabbit across the heath.

Children Learning

The world will embrace you because from birth you have no choice
All the things can change you because  you have no voice
The sun at first will reject you because you pay no heed and rejoice
The water on the lake will reflect you because you smile and feel happy with all the other girls and boys
Play with fish and frogs amongst the bogs then you'll find your mind rearranging cogs
We shelter from weather tell tales you never would endeavor but in your mind you're dancing on the  whirling logs
Wilting flowers from the rain droop so tenderly but when the sun comes out they'll be painted by hand by you the mighty gods.

Deep reflections

Water reflects clearly on the sun
Light blue dark blue and plum
The rocks ragged on foot and must not be stepped upon
We walk along the beach head and see what the earth has become
Tiny islands everywhere made to last I guess and many ships have crashed into them
The further you look into the harbour and past the uglier it has been ravaged by the hotels and the slums
The fishermen have all but gone and towels are on the beach till shadows cast and nights colours of pinks and reds ****** us to its welcome.

Freedom sound

I was looking for freedom and Lord it could not be found
I went to look in Cities and roamed from town to town
Freedom is the rarest of the like we will ever see as on desert boots we pound and pound
Sleep on the edge of midnight and keep away everything that may surround
To dream is to be fully aware and awake to images and mind processes that change the way you feel and then when you come close you awaken to listen to a very special sound
Trouble isn't trouble until trouble is all around

Another Life.


The lives that we look upon are just flowers in a garden that grow at different times and bloom when most seen
The light that was given provides the warmth and the water gathers from brooks and streams
I hope that you look beautiful in your garden and all of life is everything your heart should ever dream
I miss you every day but I know you're never far away as the sun sets I hope the moon watches over you even if someone else is loving you I'll wait for you in another life much wiser I glean.

Crossroads

The river waxed and waned like the candle on a window ledge on the second floor of my room late last night
Walking through the desert sand dunes feeling the womb of were I came from darkness to light
Primeval beginnings are now used again black and white
Seeing into the past predicts the future like a wind that flies high a kite
We evolve to our surroundings but I feel sick to the stomach to know this is right.
You are a slave

Find me time.


Imprisoned in my minds time
Forced to move forward when thinking of the past
A thought from the crystallization you defined
The future is a cloud of thoughts waiting to last
Yesterday someone stole me like a crime
You'll find it when a signal is cast
Mystical happenings unlock the person you are to find
I am a Captain of my own ship but the winds and the mast and I sail forever and that is my task
find wisdom from loneliness
