Travel light a friend once said to me,
'Yeah right' i thought with my big screen TV,
but over the years I've changed my view,
now i know there are very few things truly essential to you.
...

Brother versus brother, an eye for an eye,
and all the while the innocent die,
The leaders and generals, tucked up in bed,
more women and children, dead.
...

Bear things patiently,
Face adversity with courage,
Do not allow yourself to be degraded by pleasant vices,
Have respect for yourself in all that you do,
...

I like my poems to rhyme,
not always, but most of the time,
but then I'll slip in a line,
which doesn't.
...

You never fail to put a smile on my face,
to remove me metaphorically from this miserable place,
and that's the reason, I know it's true,
in such a short space, I've fallen for you.
...

So here I sit, looking at my cat,
if you'ld never met, wouldn't think she's all that,
but if you got to know her personally,
it all becomes pretty plain to see.
...

When i came to the lodge there were two ways to go,
carry on drinking and go with the flow,
or find myself, at last, from beneath all the masks,
and release my true self, too late, but at last.
...

I love you more than words can say,
In fact this is a clumsy way,
To say I won’t treat you like blokes gone by,
I wanna make you smile, not cry.
...

I hope to shield behind my Karma,
protected by my innocent grace,
yet when i look a little further,
the smile fades quickly from my face.
...

Sometimes we say forever, when really we mean now,
But things can change, things can change, things can cange and how.

Passionate words are spoken, we mean them there and then,
...

So here I am, warm, supported, floating.
Neither atop or bottom of this new ocean, happy yet unsure.
Wherever I swim I feel the same distance from all points, comfortably unfamiliar.
Never fearing drowning, yet unable to reach my destination.
...

So many times I hear people,
telling me what they don't like,
don't like this, don't like that,
and that's a load of shite.
...

Yesterday I was confused,
But now I'm not,
Which is Nice.
...

Oh wolf, you have ravaged for far too long,
Running through my mind, my heart and my dreams,
Stealing a childhood, shattering my night- times,
Tearing away at my vulnerable seams.
...

Frozen, locked, unable to move, held in inertia's bitter kiss,
Too much of our life, racked with cramp of the soul, is wasted like this,
Frightened, scared, covered in battle scars, too afraid to try, to miss,
Unlock, look upwards, and bathe in sunshine and starlight's sweet bliss.
...

Red alert, Blue tooth,
Economical with the truth,
With us, against us, fundamentally,
Anothers perspective, never see.
...

Walking home in the sun,
After an evening packed with fun,
My thoughts are full, full of glee,
As I think of you and me.
...

Cars and watches may make you feel flash,
humanity judged by the amount of their cash,
but some of the richest people I've met,
haven't even heard of Macdonalds yet.
...

The hardest thing you can ever do,
i can only speak for me not you,
is walk away from what you love,
not giving in and releasing the dove,
...

You know, I think I’ve cracked it, and finally broke the code,
A truly rare occurrence, inspired me to write this ode,
You see I really think I’ve found her, the one that’s here for me,
I truly do believe so, I’ll have to wait and see.
...
