There are creatures,
Just behind,
Slightly living,
Slightly blind.

Weaving circles,
Of lost delights,
In evening shades,
Lost at night.

You feel their whispers,
On goose bumped a…

I wish I could hold a smile,
Grab a thought,
Or kiss a mood.

I wish I could freeze a moment,
Stop a flow,
Or caress time.

I wish I could see the invisible,
Gaze at the sun,
Or look …

When I was young they talked of a door,
Black as night from top to floor.
There seemed to be nothing behind it’s wall,
But sometimes I wondered about this dark stall.

One night I decided …

Sipping the mass market drink of choice,
Leonard Cohen plays depressive notes so well,
I flick my ash before the next deathly drag,
Smoke floats
on the wind
around my head.
I can’t help…

How delicate is life,
A breeze can send it flowing,
A rain can knock it down,
A hand can hold it up,
A love can make it strong.

How delicate is life,
So fragile in nature,
So small in …

There are shadows,
In the corners of my eyes,
They taunt me with visions,
I can’t see.
Those shadows,
Are but memories,
Of lost loves and sorrow,
Known only to me.

There are colours, …

When I was young I dreamed of flying,
I dreamed of dragons,
I dreamed of heros,
I dreamed.

When I was young I saw life through innocense,
Through clear blue eyes,
Through child’s filte…

So you silly cat,
Meowin’ round the old grey mat,
Calling out for for little treats,
Pawing toes with little feet.
Brushing up against my shin,
Listening for the noisy tin.
It looks as if…

I turn around,
to see you,
cause I hear you,
calling my name.
But when I turn,
to see you,
I see nothing,
each time, the same.

I run to you,
to save you,
cause I hear you,
calling …

You will understand if you have read a Tale of Two Cities…or seen the movie versions…I suppose.

A glint,
Of hope,
A shard,
Of light,
A piece,
Of happy,
A sliver,
Of truth.
Today in heaven
Angels cheer,
For the child
Who happened
To make them smile.
Not by laughter,
Nor with …

You take me,
I feel you,
all around me,
Caressing,
Holding,
Your touch on my skin,
Your push,
Your pull,
You are everywhere,
and then nowhere,
I miss you,
My friend,
You return,
Fa…

Sweet wonderment
Aloof in mind
Settled in harmony
Nothing to find

Lost in atonement
Forever to need
Sight lost in lonliness
Of misplaced deeds

Swirl with the righteous
Bane of disg…

Splashing in puddles,
left by rain.
Climbing high branches,
of some old tree.
The Squeeks and squeels,
Of a rusty swing.
The intense construction,
in a box of sand.
Going fast down a hi…

"So in you go, mind your head."
The boxy woman said.
"Don’t you worry little man,"
As if this were a plan.

Darkness grew all about,
I heard some neighbors shout.
Rumbling and grumling f…

One child cries out in the night.
One child lives alone on the street.
One child dies from hunger and disease.
One child, one child, too many.

One child dreams of warmth
One child sleeps…

Suffering long my friend,
too long for most
too short for a lifetime
invisible, i am
torent raging in my head
i see the backs of friends
i see the loss of memories
in hollow walls of pa…

Born from rot and wasted axe,
Born from wet and age.
This creature wrought from fallen tree,
This creature full of rage.

He who angered the spirit trees,
Their magic they have shared.

I can ssee you.
I can ssssmile at you.
But you can not sseee me.
You ssmile through me.
Thosse who I tell,
Call me mad.
But I sssee through,
I sssee you.

I am a Father,
so do I shield their eyes?
do I cover their ears?
Hold hands so tight?
Lie about this troubled world?

Do I change the subject?
Avoid at all costs?
Feign a deafness?
