trying to fix broken people isn't romantic
hoping that with enough love and compassion you will be able to end a viscous cycle of addiction isn't romantic
there is nothing pure or golden about it
neither noble nor valliant
it's just stupid and selfish and idealistic
so let them drink
and drink and drink
because no matter how hard you try
they won't stop
till it's too late

pedals
nettles
bordem

garden

azimuth
my mouth

a new coat

valliant
ants
cant
selling apples
door to
door..

jars
jarred
sword
my bycicle
bell
telling

hills
sitting
still
fill
full
will
and so..

You can't hate yourself into loving yourself.
But I sure give it a solid try.
Trying desperately,
To hate my body into submission.
To torture it into compliance.
Years, months,
A lifetime
Of attempting to hate,
My body, my mind,
Myself.
Into a box I feel it should fit.
Tormenting myself when once again,
The unrealistic box
I try to shove myself in,
Doesn't fit.
You can't hate yourself into loving yourself.
But I'm proof,
You can give a valliant effort.
Just watched a documentary
About the 1980's threat of nuclear war
Of the valliant women of Greenham Common
I remember the fear, when i was aged 24

I remember this fear so easily
As i remembered the same in the 1960's as well
I remembered also, images of Hiroshima, and Nagazaki
I remembered nightmares aged 10 of hell

I remember the fear, of mutually assured destruction
I believed it could happen at any time
As ive witnessed the actions of men in power
That seem to think genocide, isn't a crime

And as they push their 'starting' buttons
And watch their exploding penises fly high
Seemingly switched off, from all reality
As death, like rain, falls from the sky

It's funny how mushrooms grow
Kept in the dark, and fed will *******
The nuclear pox is contagious
There are no vaccinations for it

Moment To Decide
Decisions once taken should not be regretted
This is how we can project our sincerity and resolve
Through out our lives we remain but indebited
It is how we can be able to involve and to just solve
A moment may come to test us in a hard trial
Our patience and fortitude helps but to overcome
That moment is precisely test us for a while
How to be one on one with the life troublesome
Valliant are those who pass this test smilingly
And touch the edge of eternity with trsolution
All support comes to them but surprisingly
To be in the ride remains the only sole solution

To Be On Cross
Let us understand to be a man is to be on cross
Through and through to win lot many battles
But inuries of soul inflict badly to be in the loss
With severe weather in life dies down candles
Pain and torture one bear till the last moment
Valliant are those who never ever cry in a trial
They pass through all to confront being silent
Their hard struggle remains being worthwhile
At times their pursuits may not bring any fruit  
But they remain satiated and just self satisfide
Being straight soldiers they follow their route
In their every stride their coscience is to guide

Life A Challenge
Life is nothing but a constant and consistent challenge
Only brave can accept it wit smiling face to pursue
To counter any embarrasement one has to but manage
Time and space to take care how to think and to do

Valliant are sons of the soil who take correct descion
They do all at the peril of life to sacrifice for nation
Time and tide keeps their actions with proper precision
Their burning blood keeps in tact their passion

Inspiration my love comes but from inner cores to play
Miracles do happen when one surpasses time
For clean hearts and souls love remains dawn of the day
Their fortune helps them to reap harvest in prime
