A gentle light
A pleasing sound
A lovely place
A settled ground

Nothing moves
Except my smile
As I think of you
All the while.

All The While
Desperate Voice
It was a desperate voice
On the telephone
With a hint of panic.

Did you know I cried
For you

A million times
In my safe house?
While you suffered
I dispaired.

While you continued to suffer
I feared for your state of mind
and the cruel things
You accepted.

I wanted to change things
But I could not.

I tried to get you
To leave.
But I could not.

You stayed and suffered.
I cried a million tears for you.
With a hint of panic.

I waited.
But you waited too.
And stayed.

In desperation I stayed
On the telephone
Listening to your voice.

It was a desperate voice.
With a hint of panic.

POETRY
Faded Moments
Faded moments ate my thoughts
And robbed me of my past.

Clear ideas and crystal minds
Brought me back at last.

The Moon
The moon
Poised
On the edge of the world.
Toppled

Into the black landscape.
The rain
Splashed
Bluring the images
On the windscreen
Crumpled.

Reality had another
Place to go
And the moon
Rose.

The House by The Fire Mountain
The house by the fire mountain
Is going away,
It's escape escapes without me
Standing solid in country
It is going away.

The place that was always
Is going away
Becoming never and without me
Murmering medieval chants
Against wamish intrusion.

I remember the day it began
To be there.
It stood many moments
Before I chanced along.
Yet it waited for me.

The house by the fire mountain
Belongs to the past
To childhood and menories
To loving times together
With a family grown but young.

It sold it's courage to me
For eternity.
And now it is going away,
Deserted it will change
It will die to be born again

Into tommorrow with others
Those who know not.
It will live again
A life that belongs elswhere,
The house by the fire mountain.

One Day
Can one day hold another?
Can time grow into tommorrow
Without loosing each day gone by?
Can one day hold another
Providing hope for tommorrow?
Or is each moment alone?

I have laid out my life
On roller skates
Each moment taking me
Into another day
Without a plan for tommorrow
Keeping open my moments alone.

I have planned out my life.
Fixing the days.
Long term hours leading to years.
And they have been squashed.
No permission for tommorrow.
Each day has its plan alone.

I don't want to close time.
Can one day hold another
Giving tommorrow a chance?
Each moment must become years
Without stopping tommorrow Becoming new time,

I have planned out my fixed time
Giving each moment a chance
To take root, or to florish,
Or to blow away each day
Bringing in life, not fixed,
Like time on the face of a clock.

The Walloon
I'll wallop the walloon
Who's wame will wamble
When his walie hand is wampish
Without reason.

Suffering From The Silence
I'm suffering from the silence
That creeps up from behind
And cuts my throat with its sharpness
As it digs into my mind.

I'm numb with a lack of sound
As others shriek and shout.
It all sounds very empty
As I try to edge my voice out.
