Return to OZ
In the haze of booze and heated words,
We said things that still echo.
The truth got twisted and wielded in our fight.
And love took cover, out of sight.
Now in the light the battle scars are many, wounds quarterised, but still fresh.
hearts still yearn,
For the warmth, the laughter, the sweet return.
I’m ready now to change my ways,
No more snarky comments or “oops, b...

Weakness
"I wouldn’t, but it’s close at hand,
A silent urge, a fleeting stand.
I wouldn’t, but I feel the draw,
A choice unmade, a tempting flaw."

And there it is
Unraveling now,
my soul laid bare.
Once free of fear,
now I care...
Never needed to hold on tight,
Until I had love in plain sight xo

The fight within the fight
In the ring, under lights so bright,
Stands Kava, young and fierce tonight.
At seventeen, his dreams are vast,
A boxer’s future, built to last.
But shadows loom, a silent plight,
The smoke that dims his inner light.
With every drag, his strength betrayed,
A fighter’s spirit, sorely frayed.
Kava, hear the bell's clear call,
To rise above, to never fa...

The fisher.
In the vast expanse where sea and sky unite, A lone vessel glides with the morning light. Cast into the depths of fate's endless sway, We angle for hopes that shimmer and play.
Beneath the surface where mysteries hide, We chase elusive dreams with each changing tide. Patience our compass, courage our sail, Navigating currents where destinies prevail.
Through tempests fierce and tranquil bree...

Keys for happiness
In a quiet room, where sunlight gleams,
Erica sits, lost in dreams.
Her fingers dance on keys so bright,
Creating melodies, pure delight.
Each note she plays, a gentle breeze,
Whispers through the autumn leaves.
With every chord, her heart does sing,
Unlocking magic, like a spring.
Her piano tells a tale so sweet,
Of laughter, love, and moments fleet.
In every practice, every try,
S...

Timing
The lizard king with his words profound,
Hath touched our souls and unearthed our ground.
The soil is tendered, the seeds are sewn.
By lifetime pass, let us enjoy our sound!
For life is short, and talk is cheap.
Our actions are our souls to keep!
Be love of now, be love immortal,
Trancend our life and become eternal.
Journeys bound and paths to follow,
Beseech...

Butter side up.
Sitting here alone with my emotions...
Fumbling the ball when the pressure is on.
Yesterday's gone but still there's no promise of tomorrow!
Each day is a blessing,
Each breath a gift from God!
Thanks be, for being on the right side of the dirt.
Thanks for having a heart to feel and a soul of worth X

Battle of futility.
Upon a mystic mountain top,
Two devils doth collide.
They take their blows and make a mess,
But never break their stride.
Fueled with hatred, spite and pride.
They know naught what wanteth each,
as they carry on their plight.
A battle till the death it'd seem,
to those be plain in sight.
Alas the foes in blood and sweat,
discover whats not benign.
W...

Elocin
Clean sheets and a dirty mind,
The scent of passion mixed with washing powder.
That sweet embrace, the perfect fit. There's nothing in this moment that's counterfeit.
But new beginnings though exciting as they may be,
Get sullied by the grit of life over time.
No washing powder strong enough to rid the stench,
Nor stain remover to hide the blemishes of daily battles.
Soon...

Distance.
Even a dog bone gnawed of all it has to give gets buried!
Why after so many soul nourishing moments did you cast me aside?
If i could, I'd do it again better....
But now my bones are in the sun and dry.
Doesn't mean that time together.
Didn't satisfy.
When I wake up and think about you.
They are the memories that make me smile!
If I could, I'd do it again better....
But now my bones...

Done
Freedom...
Doesn't matter what you feel.. Doesn't matter what you do.
Freedom...
Every thought countered.. Every emotion exempt.
Freedom...
Sacrifice...
Alone...
Exclusion...
Light...
Fleeting. Fleeting. Illusion.
XOXO
Death? Freedom?
Guilt!
Unity through contempt, reality is a fake smile!

If you don't want me when I'm broken. You can't have me when I'm whole!
The sharp edges of my broken self have cut you deep.
I know this, but know this...
Our blood mixes on the floor as we both
slowly die from the same cuts.
Cuts can heal and the blood flow be the
warmth of love and wholeness.
Isn't that the ultimate goal?
Someone to bleed with,
someone to heal with?
The knowing that the cracks have been
tested and sealed!
Tighter than new, stronger ...

... UNTIL YOU GET IT RIGHT ...
The gavel drops.
Sentence set.
Life upon a rock.
We enter screaming.
Not much familiar.
The unknown first faced with fear.
A soothing comfort, a familiar feel.
Soon placed upon her breast.
Fear now subsiding.
Belly full..
Milk warm and inviting...
Eyes heavy, now clo.......zzz...zzz...zz

Words
Ripples on the surface,
The undulating path in motion.
Fathoms of disruption,
Sounding from a deeper trench...
Navigation for the skilful,
Navigation by the brave!
Don't take these waters lightly,
For they'll sure an early grave.
So baton down ye flailing hatches,
Tie the second reef once and sure!
See the Lee light blink forgiveness,
Sail sure, sail certain, sail fast.
