Stars


Dark blue sky
if you could write private things
you could write
a love poem
about the moon and stars,
that shoot across the sky
fantastic comets
from heaven
in colours purple and gold
leaving behind them
A blazing trail
of fire
but it’s what’s left unsaid
in the dark quiet
in the park on a bench
alone
bored maybe
thinking about
watching a movie or something
But sitting down at your desk
to write in your black book
things, things
even those you don’t want anyone to read
after all a diary
is sacred
Such as light.
perhaps the erotic scrawlings
of Celeste
are  best
left unspoken
at the bottom of some
dark chamber
then there’s the asylum
the head shrinks
stability and trust
never mind lust
and work is a must
you miss you fuss
you hiss you huss
you blush you shush
you walk don’t rush
Oh really I could go on
But I want it to be short
Few words to express
the simplicity
of fools.

The One You Love



Under the waterfall
I sit on a rock
Contemplating peace
You hear a liar bird
Crack in the bush

You see a kookaburra
he lets out a laugh
Why don't ye laugh a little
oh the joy to be outdoors
collecting pinecones and gumnuts

Taking plenty of snapshots
Eating Sardines and rice crackers
Listening to the silky silence
Swimming knee deep in love
Out here you know who it is

Is it Tristan or Brian
Or Katie who shows her panties
Online
Or what father expects and mother holds dear
Hush take in the quiet serenity

Go off alone face yourself,
Take a moment to sun baske
Let nature soothe your soul
The one you've got to love right now
Is yourself.

Dancing

 

A point
the zone
Where I am feeling
right at home
in my body
rhythm and beats
where my mood
tastes like a peach
Jumping
turning
always learing
being
doing
moving
twisting
smiling
crying
nearly dying
Exhiliration
from this flying
dancing dancing and
romancing
with someone
that takes your fancy

Random Act of Kindness

Flowers Growing open
Rain, sunshine,
dirt, trees
Pluck a rose
thorn piercing finger
tears

Mother Earth with land and seas
The little children say
ah uhuh, uhuh
yes I see, I think,
I know

Bad dreams
Someone chasing you
You're running, running
Not moving,
panting, sweating

Cake, coffee
vapor
Valentines day
Oh god not again
Softly, soflty
Cat is creeping

Falling from a leaf
A dewdrop
Inside it, the ocean
caught on lens
in the sunlight.

The Guitar


The guitar
has been hanging
on the wall
too long,
a long time since I have played

I used to practise
But I have given it up
I used to know
Some ballads
I used to play some blues

You taught me
But now you're far away
You haven't been in a while
I wonder why
You don't come round to play

Once we were young
We wanted to be
rock stars
Remember
You and me in torn black jeans

Rock n roll
Was what we knew
And young
was how it felt
Young and hopeful.

Butterfly

 



Butterfly
zoom in
fly here
be with me
alight upon my shoulder
kiss me
how have you been?

I've been well thank You
I've been to the beach and I've been to the zoo
I don't have a lover
and I don't know what to do
how about you
how have you been?

Oh you know
going out
being seen
It's awesome being famous
but it can get embarrassing

They post your love life
all over the web
what you had for breakfast
what you do in bed

Oh dear
that does sound a bit blush
I would like to know more
but I'm in a bit of a rush

Butterfly butterfly
How are you
Oh  me, the usual
if a bit blue

But I want to
throw that away
For my sweetpea
I want to cheer up
Fly home with your chin up

That a girl butterfly
There's so much to do
before you die

Don't waste time crying
then going out and lying
throw your cares to the wind
and dive in

Yes, yes
It's the absolute best
to  live your life
with zest
to ride the waves
at the crest

Well you sound enthusiastic
yes I would say zest
we just do our best.

I know you've gotten by
on less
but I love you
Celeste

It's been a long time since
I've heard that
with tears in her eye
A long time
since I've been there
I mean
here
there and everywhere (The Beatles)

Flutter flutter
Words to utter
words and afterwards
words
wards of the soul

The butterly's soul is old,
is old
with a pretty heart of gold
the word is out
the story's told
butterflies to love and hold,
gently before they go...

Hey La


I wanna write a song
And put it on the radio
For you
So that you come back
Baby please come back
Where has he gone
Why did he leave
Without a kiss goodbye
I'm sorry that you were locked up with me
But I wish you could see
That I'm young
And I'm in love
Hip hip hoorah
Come back
Baby please come back
And I'll do everything I can
I'd paint the town red for you
I'd sing a song
I'd write a poem
I'd give up smoking
I'd just be the way I am
So satisfied
With one little kiss
It's you my heart does miss
If we couldn't or shouldn't or wouldn't
It still would be
So heres my fight
You know I'm shy
I was going to get a food voucher
To help me out
But I'm too proud
And so you see
I might not be perfect
But I'm happy
And that's all
I want you to be
So ok darlin'
Do what you want
Hope you get your four kids
And your house
But what about me
I died and went to zion
The sky shone
And I looked down
And thought
A little prayer for you
So if you dare
Come back
Baby please come back
Cause we've got something special
You know when we argued
I really meant well
I was just going through hell
And so were you
I want, I want my bf back
What can I do
To get through to you
I've got, I've got
A lot to give
So please be true
Hey boy come back you
Even though I cannot seem
To be poetic anymore
Without my muse
What can I do
Hey baby come back you!
La la la la
La la la la.

So there


Simple, sweet
And sometimes shocking
Soccer, snorkelling
But not shopping
Sucka, softy
Sort of sneaky
Not very short
Such is sexy
Sooner or later
Going to sleep
Sedacious
Not serious
So very curious
Wearing sneakers
In which to stalk me
So there!
