The desire to be with the one, unconditionally
The desire to be chosen, unconditionally
The desire to be the one, unconditionally
The desire to be protected, fearlessly
The desire to be loved, limitlessly
The desire to be cared for, forgivingly
The desire to grow old with the one, certainly
The desire to be “we, us, our”
The desire to be fed, care for, shower

Catch 22
When forever finally comes to town, not sure I want to be around
when it stands outside to knock upon my door.
I’ll hide inside, not make a sound, turn out the lights,
get on the ground, lay in the darkest shadow of the floor.
And if forever’s not deterred, no worry I’ll plan for the worst.
I’ll wait it out, I’ll stock up every shelf.
I’ll let forever knock all day and hope ...

The Question
Depression and heartache and yearning -
common throughout all the years,
general amongst all the masses,
driven by so many fears.
It’s truly the struggle of ages,
despite born of mansion or cave.
Is life the thing that you’re living,
or is it life that you crave?
It's tied to a question so simple -
just what do you live your life for?
Do you live to live in ...

Fairytale - For V & K
An entrance to a fairytale waiting to happen,
Sweet scented flowers, second only to the story that's about to bloom,
Flickering candles mimicking twinking stars in the dark sky,
Like the love that survived through thick and thin, dark and light...
A slow stepped waltz, opening to a dance of a lifetime,
followed by a ballad about a love that grew from childhood
and an eternal...

You and Me
Hold on to the dream,
of you and me,
floating free
in air and sea.
After all the drama,
a lifetime of battle scars,
it's still you and me,
for all eternity.

Time Could Last Forever
We live our lives together
Breathing the same air
Yet never help each other
It makes life hard to bear.
So much could be made better
In just a little time
And time could last forever
If we just use it right.

Eternity Always Wins
I suppose I'm one of life's losers
Missed out on joys and content
Mourned other folks's milestones
Never learned what love meant
How to encounter consolation or
Stomach others's enjoyable sins?
The answer lies up in the clouds
Where brute eternity always wins
Winners cant take it with them
Imagine leaving behind that cash
Lovers weeping at the bedside
Tho...

On the Seventh Watch
On the Seventh Watch:
A little after midnight, I was told to watch from 3,
The darkest hour looming, don’t why it fell to me.
And I was blurry eyed, like other souls,
Whose hearts somehow had all been lost.
Hold your ground, won’t you hold your ground,
Hold it while the Angel’s draw their lots,
Defined by everything that I am not
On the Seventh Watch

Moments
Do you ever want to
hold on to a moment
because it feels divine?
A moment when the stars align,
and everything is fine.
A moment when you make peace
with your past, and your pain.
A moment when there is
no sorrow, no shame.
A moment when fear
takes a hike.
A moment when the sky is clear,
the air is forgiving,
and sun shines bright.
A moment when everything

Mortality
Mortality stalks me
like a jealous lover.
Breathlessly follows me
wherever I go, incessantly
banging a gong,
chanting,
it won't be long,
come to me, let
the pain end.
My eternal soul sees
this game of mortal gods
and challenges me
to go where mortals
fear to tread...
Meditate in silent space
past the black hole,
beyond illness,
depression, despair
to that ...

The Void
Hey there lonely girl,
what are you doing wandering around
these dark places?
Don’t you know that
evil lurks about?
The void is littered
with those who will use you,
abuse you,
scar your soul for eternity.
Listen to my pleas,
I’m begging on bended knees,
move forward
towards the light,
no matter how tempting
the mysterious
shadows may be.

About Us
Passion consumed
eventually fades.
Passion capped
pursues us
beyond the grave.
This revelation
helps me understand,
our encounter was
never about us.
It was about our muses
intertwined in the
world of words.
We were denied
the lasting passion
we searched for
so we could write
our soul songs
for seekers
to see
the ectasy
and despair
that accompan...

Connections
I know you don't
want to think of me.
I don't want to
think of you either.
But the more I resist,
the more your ghost
persists.
It makes no sense.
Hardly a day goes
by that you don’t
cross my mind.
Some days
it infuriates me
that someone who
pushed me over the cliff
of obscurity
has a choke hold
on my soul.
Other days
I accept
what I cannot

Salutations for Sally
I wrote this poem for my wife's birthday.
Salutations for Sally
The years don’t pass slowly anymore,
But there’s still time for an eternity
In your eyes, in your arms, your love.
Each moment a step to infinity,
But time doesn’t march, it ascends,
And we rise on the years,
Sadder, yes, but wiser and
More loving, more understanding.
And you lift everything around you

Full Circle
Full Circle
It’s here again. Bring the tissues. Hide away the blades. Its coming
full force
Into our home, our hearts, our souls, here. It’s in
My mothers eyes as she stares blankly, unblinking, it’s in
nanna’s shaky voice, breaking. ‘what were you thinking?’
Its carried in by broken promises, screams th...

Quiet River
Quiet River
When the morning's flight
lifts the darkened blind,
and slows the speed of time,
be ready in your heart and mind
with gratitude, as you drift
on a sweet and quiet river,
lined by silent watchers;
remember their gifts, and the jewels
of the givers,
For that light is sure to glow
fierce and steady in your memory -

Disillusion
Life is full of illusion,
a process of disillusion.
No perfection in decay.
To die,
to be reborn,
to be all that I am
is eternity.
Oblivion only comes
to those that seek it.

Living the Eternity
You walk
You stand
You speak
Then you are quiet
You love
You hate
You fight
You make peace
You cry
You laugh
You live
You die
And you live again
You inhale so many lifetimes,
Your home is the universe,
Your time is eternity.
Words you speak are never silent,
Deeds of yours are never unseen,
Steps you take never fade,
Emotions you share always felt.
We often ask the questi...

Eternity
Her thoughts were irrational as she paced back and fourth down the hall,
She felt her mind and body start to build an emotional stone wall,
Her head ached in pain that she could not escape,
She was stuck in this emotional enraged mind rape,
Her body sunk into her soul as her eyes turned black,
She felt herself letting go and slipping into an invisable crack,
Her heart became life...

Eternity
In the quiet garden of Heaven,
one day I'll walk beneath the trees
with the coolness of God's Spirit
flowing more gently than an Earthly breeze.
In the royal kingdom of priests,
I'll run barefoot on streets of soft gold,
overwhelmed by the perfection of peace,
following where angels had previously strolled.
Before the awesome throne room,
I'll exude continual heartfelt p...

I Miss You
Hello there,
Angel from my nightmares.
Devil from my dreams
a grey spirit that weaves
its way through my existence.
What a Dementor does to souls
or a Dalek to a human heart.
Even a superhuman heart
can break.
Just ask Logan,
a force so strong
a returning phoenix
could not reignite remnants.
I miss you.
Whatever yo...

GOTHIC STORM
GOTHIC STORM
Gothic storm across the heavens, splitting
the sky in two creating a rip in the fabric
of the sky into which the earth will fall,
doomed and dead into the abyss of time
forever more. We are the generation of the damned,
condemned to be this for the rest of our lives
until we die, by our own hand
or that of Old Father Time or of our enemie...

The best I never had
In a world of tv clichés
I thought our series would be timeless,
that it would survive the seasons.
I laugh as I remember
How I Met Your Mother.
Confused on an interstate car park,
cellphones and calamity.
Only to feel underwhelmed.
You said “it's not just the jetlag”,
I said “how can anyone fall in love with a zombie?”
eating hearts fo...
