Speaking N' Squeaking
Crawling around on the dirt,
other critters do it, so it won't hurt.
My Stomach spread on the floor,
so much to see, its Never a bore.
a mouse Scurries up and started to squeak
I listened, then i tried to speak.
It nodded back and hugged its tail,
Gave me a big smile and then just Yelled.
"The ground is ours, we won't share,
We've been here for ever, So its ours, it's only fair"
I got up, and whipped off my chest.
Those critters on the ground.. they got it the best.
After the sudden thought that we spoke
Makes me believe, i like rodents more than human folk.

I dream
I dream...
I dream of days of love, of compassion and empathy
Days when we'll rise above battles and war, foes and enemies
I dream of days of brotherhood...
I dream of days of plenitude, of wealth to share amongst us all
Days when no one in solitude faces to starve and going cold.
I dream of days of sharing food...
I dream of days of peace, of honesty and kindness
Days when men reminisce of old stories for kids' happiness.
I dream of days of pure bliss...
I dream of days of being wise, of protecting the innocent..
Days when we look up in their eyes to find answers to our torment..
I dream of days where we seek truth...
I dream of days of construction, of a future in our present,
Days when the word education contains fun, laughter and amusement...
I dream of days of new order...
I dream of days of right for all, without gender, colour of skin..
Days when we take care of animals like if they were our next of kin...
I dream of days of protection...
I dream of days of liberty, of speech, of faith, of movement..
Days when borders forever will be, things of the past and atonement...
I dream of days of freedom...
I dream.. join me.. it's free...
And together, maybe, we can make our dream a joyful reality...

About this poem:
My father always saw me as a useless daydreamer.. last year he commented on a picture on my Facebook by saying "are you still dreaming!"This was my answer to his question.. unfortunately he doesn't speak English.. so he'll never know what I dream about!!! ??
Sunset blues.......
The crimson sun delicately snuck behind the remainder of the day's clouds
Almost drawing them down as it sank vibrantly over the horizon
In its wake it left a hue of deep pink highlighting the dark blue of the distant mountain range and the deep greens of the valley in the forefront
In a mystical magical way it was enchanting and me in my grubby work clothes was transported from my despairing workplace to a beautiful place where I am constantly reminded what beauty abounds ..........that was all I needed to end my day..........

This Paper Stage
I stand up on this paper stage
With only words to express
The deepest vowels, the highest consonants
Of what our hearts request
Dream on, sing on with me
In octaves of your own originality
Watch your words form linear lines
That move and bend in space and time
Imagination, Yes, Imagination
Give us old images of new shape and form
Imagination, Yes, Imagination
With each of our renewed perceptions, truly we are reborn
For all the poets and painters, writers and singers of song
Upon the written page
Let us write and recite our own thoughts and dreams
As we stand upon this paper stage
With only words to express
The deepest vowels, the highest consonants
Of what our hearts request
Dream on, sing on with me
In octaves of your own originality
Watch your words form linear lines
That move and bend in space and time
Imagination, Yes, Imagination
Give us old images of new shape and form
Imagination, Yes, Imagination
With each of our renewed perceptions, truly we are reborn
For all the poets and painters, writers and singers of song
Upon the written page
Let us write and recite our own thoughts and dreams
As we stand upon this paper stage

About this poem:
A poem dedicated to writers in voices of different forms/genres. Of the styles to chose from- chant seems the most close to my poem’s style but that doesn’t quiet nail it for me. Any thoughts on this?Water Without Judgement
Hands reaching across the Sea of Possibilities
Faces reflected in the Tides of Time
Nature struggles between growth and necessity
Knowledge bridges today and choice
Water, water, Gift of Life
Heal our Hearts before the poison flows
Water, water, Gift of life
Heal our Hearts before the poison flows
Distance judged by the length of our readings
Time measured in the hope of our days
Science tests the truths of theology
Faith waits for the holding of hands
Water, water, Gift of life
Heal our hearts before the poison flows
Water, water, Gift of life
Heal our hearts before the poison flows
Faces reflected in the Tides of Time
Nature struggles between growth and necessity
Knowledge bridges today and choice
Water, water, Gift of Life
Heal our Hearts before the poison flows
Water, water, Gift of life
Heal our Hearts before the poison flows
Distance judged by the length of our readings
Time measured in the hope of our days
Science tests the truths of theology
Faith waits for the holding of hands
Water, water, Gift of life
Heal our hearts before the poison flows
Water, water, Gift of life
Heal our hearts before the poison flows

About this poem:
The title ‘Water Without Judgement’ popped into my head and it stuck. Huh? What could that mean? Wrote this about 30 years ago and I still wonder. Think I was reading Will Durant’s ‘Story of Philosophy’ at the time. So this book and other works of different philosophers brought my writing of poetry often to take on a philosophical bent.
LOVE AND LIKE
Like and love, are poles apart
Both have rights, within a heart
Yet unconditional, comes to mind
Thinking of love, all-giving kind
Can one truly love, but never like
After pain-sorrow, emotions fight
Superior belief, I can't see how
Sharing life space, without a vow
For those that love, also defend
No doubt to others, more than friends
Decisions made, with knock-on-affect
Special romance, personally select
Is the more powerful, love or to like
Mirrored emotions, compare a kite
Soaring love, unconditional-unique
The truest of emotion, all seek
Only feeling, that wraps to hold
Shared by two, remaining bold
Special bond, triggered by touch
Shared senses, to another clutch
Both have rights, within a heart
Yet unconditional, comes to mind
Thinking of love, all-giving kind
Can one truly love, but never like
After pain-sorrow, emotions fight
Superior belief, I can't see how
Sharing life space, without a vow
For those that love, also defend
No doubt to others, more than friends
Decisions made, with knock-on-affect
Special romance, personally select
Is the more powerful, love or to like
Mirrored emotions, compare a kite
Soaring love, unconditional-unique
The truest of emotion, all seek
Only feeling, that wraps to hold
Shared by two, remaining bold
Special bond, triggered by touch
Shared senses, to another clutch

I was asked what is the most powerful...love or like?Surely they are usually linked?
Beacon of Stars
Beacon of Stars
There is always Light in Life
Let not the darkness envelop you
If darkness should fall
Look to the night sky
See the bright Light of the Cosmos
Reach out your hands grasping the Stars
While in your Grasp wish upon it
Pull it into your Heart
Let its Light and Warmth show you the way
Choose the brightness of Wisdom
Hold close to you all that which you hold Dear
Warm yourself upon the Shining Beacon of Hope
There is always Light in Life
Let not the darkness envelop you
If darkness should fall
Look to the night sky
See the bright Light of the Cosmos
Reach out your hands grasping the Stars
While in your Grasp wish upon it
Pull it into your Heart
Let its Light and Warmth show you the way
Choose the brightness of Wisdom
Hold close to you all that which you hold Dear
Warm yourself upon the Shining Beacon of Hope

You are my dreams, do you know who you are
Are you the moon, or maybe a bright star
Magic of the night, or warmth of every day
Your words like poetry, send sunny rays
If I am feeling lost, you're my special one
Makes a new day, when the old one is done
Echo of my senses, where past breezes run
Allows me to sit quietly, watch a dying sun
Are you my shadow, where I go, you are there
No need to turn around, I know that you care
Watching over me, especially when I'm sad
Never to be scared of, all good and never bad
Like my inner twin, be a mirror of mine
Inner being waits, for your special sign
Will you remain, or in time fade away
Questions I ask, what will you say?
You're my hidden side, balance in life
If I get overwhelmed, controlling strife
I go to a special place, where I can wait
Until ready, to slip through the opening gate....

About this poem:
A poem I wrote in Sept 2012.....that seems fitting today....Rule No 1ne
But you'll never find happiness
Unless
Ya find it in yourself 1st
Always searching for Love outside
And when you think it's it then your bubble burst
Feeling cursed
Or maybe worst
Spirit the nurse
The doctor
Even at the lowest point still got ya
Look
See
Still breathing
Still receiving
The Love of The Most High
Sigh
Sigh
Please
Just look inside
Yea at times a rollercoaster ride
But away with foolish pride
Let The Divine within be your guide
Love is infinite
And never leaves
Ourselves we spite
With wants n needs
Sewing seeds
Of destruction
Negativity & corruption
Here comes the eruption
Whirlwind
Spiritual volcano
Spewing up out to through
Everyting iNna this flow
Funny not funny
We already know
And still choose to blow
Malice n hate
Argument n debate
Haaahaaaaaa
It is hilarious
Cos all must be
And we
Learn from tasting da dust
Biting da dust
From the bottom we're thrust
Trust
Spirit always reminding
Breaking n grinding
To help us be finding
The 1ne true Love
That lives n remains in the essence of
Every1ne n everyting that does be
Find yourself n find the ultimate key
Bathing in the beauty
The tranquility
At peace with self brings peace with everybody
So what's it all about
I'll buy you gifts today n say
I Love you
Hmmm
I'll Love you more
For every moment you endure
My slips my slides
My ego n pride
Thank you
For accepting me for who what I am
What a beautyfilled feeling stretching forth ma hand
Let ma light shine
I am Divine
Bending perception of mind
To align
That which is to be aligned
Every1ne remember yes
Remember you're blessed
Partner no partner
It's on you to manifest
Your desires
Your dreams
Choose misery n worry or choose streams of infinite beams
Laugh
Smile
Give thanx
Appreciate
And I promise your Love will multiply n create
A beautyfilled feeling inside
A place of appreciation n contentment maybe even the perfect husband or bride
Unless
Ya find it in yourself 1st
Always searching for Love outside
And when you think it's it then your bubble burst
Feeling cursed
Or maybe worst
Spirit the nurse
The doctor
Even at the lowest point still got ya
Look
See
Still breathing
Still receiving
The Love of The Most High
Sigh

About this poem:
It is not fair to seek a fiancé unless you are already happy in yourselfMany want to find somebody to make them happy but that won't work
When you're both already happy before meeting you have the opportunity to be yourself without masks or playing a character to please
Rule No 1ne:Happiness is an inside job
Alphabetic Innerspiration
I was recently challenged to write a song using positive words for every letter of the alphabet
