I am the Sphinx
Is it time for seasonal reflection?
but no not on this day
I am the Sphinx in the desert
facing the ever sun
with beauty in the sands
so they say, but for me
a rogue on the road
I have no pure thoughts
to give elegance to a message
the blue winds blow through me
shallow and with contempt
wisped away as the days
shorten to fine blades
whirling laterally
until up on the heath
creatures move in the hollow silence
but no not on this day
I am the Sphinx in the desert
facing the ever sun
with beauty in the sands
so they say, but for me
a rogue on the road
I have no pure thoughts
to give elegance to a message
the blue winds blow through me
shallow and with contempt
wisped away as the days
shorten to fine blades
whirling laterally
until up on the heath
creatures move in the hollow silence

Post CommentFull moon over Opotiki
And crabs
out on the flats
gazing, dipping, flittering under the gathering stars
water coils
laughter from the shore
out on the flats
gazing, dipping, flittering under the gathering stars
water coils
laughter from the shore

About this poem:
the best days in New Zealand
Daydreams
Jumping, jumping ,over the style
Wasting time just for a while
Dark clouds forming filled with rain
Will my rainbow return again
I miss those days of childhood charms
Held by my parents in loving arms
My adult days approach too fast
As plaits and uniforms, I cast.
Into this world of wonderment
I step with awe and calm content
Will I survive and make my mark
Is life just a stroll in the park
I'll do my best through thick and thin
To reach the goalpost that say's win.

About this poem:
A look back at youth.A rolling Reverend
To reclaim God under a deep black sky
in these times the heavens may shake
keep one hand on the wheel
the other on the crucifix brother
a rolling Reverend
into the night we drive
sing, sing Hallelujah
to all the earthly creatures
camped under a full moon
O be wise and watchful
the Devil may take his care here
yes he may loiter in these dark lands
but freeze him out my brothers
like the church on a hill
be steadfast and true
and not bent and deceived
yes we go down into the lands
of the downtrodden and repentant
to bring the light
bring the light
bring the light
in these times the heavens may shake
keep one hand on the wheel
the other on the crucifix brother
a rolling Reverend
into the night we drive
sing, sing Hallelujah
to all the earthly creatures
camped under a full moon
O be wise and watchful
the Devil may take his care here
yes he may loiter in these dark lands
but freeze him out my brothers
like the church on a hill
be steadfast and true
and not bent and deceived
yes we go down into the lands
of the downtrodden and repentant
to bring the light
bring the light
bring the light

About this poem:
A man of God traverses the nightLemon tea for Derek
Blatant partisanship
a loaded conversation
well howl at the moon
you dogs in packs
working with these critics
its four to one
you'll never get refuge
let them go down
like an old ship creaking
the sun will rise
for at the diplomat dinner
its lemon tea for Derek
and a shot at the moon
a loaded conversation
well howl at the moon
you dogs in packs
working with these critics
its four to one
you'll never get refuge
let them go down
like an old ship creaking
the sun will rise
for at the diplomat dinner
its lemon tea for Derek
and a shot at the moon

About this poem:
Another random one working its way outBig Horse Heart
Big horse heart
is sure pumping
oxygen deprivation
at 20,000 feet
breathing from the cylinder
icepick in hand
clouds far down beneath
sun on the rockfall ahead
I choose this life
to breathe hard is to compete
nature sets the board
we move the pieces
going all out now
assault on the peak
the pinnacle glowing
in the morning rays
we radio to base
summited!

About this poem:
mountaineeringThe Day
Do not give up on the day
even when it is time for sleep
do not give up on the day
though the light dims
and your eyes close in pauses
let a man be ready
to shake back the night
do not give up on the day
if the sun sinks behind the hedgerow
and your plight makes you weary
still, still, do not give up on the day
even when it is time for sleep
do not give up on the day
though the light dims
and your eyes close in pauses
let a man be ready
to shake back the night
do not give up on the day
if the sun sinks behind the hedgerow
and your plight makes you weary
still, still, do not give up on the day

About this poem:
some inspiration
I Believe
Love is the Answer
You cannot buy happiness, but you sure can rent it!
The prices of things have gone up way too much
I miss my dogs
We only go around this world once
The 70's were my favorite decade
A woman is a person who can give birth and produce milk
Nothing beats a good sundae
Time is all we really have
If you can't feed the baby, then don't have the baby
The 80's had the best music
Free music on the internet destroyed music
Life isn't fair
I miss Chris Farley
Shania Twain is very pretty
Pluto has a heart on it
You will be happy
You cannot buy happiness, but you sure can rent it!
The prices of things have gone up way too much
I miss my dogs
We only go around this world once
The 70's were my favorite decade
A woman is a person who can give birth and produce milk
Nothing beats a good sundae
Time is all we really have
If you can't feed the baby, then don't have the baby
The 80's had the best music
Free music on the internet destroyed music
Life isn't fair
I miss Chris Farley
Shania Twain is very pretty
Pluto has a heart on it
You will be happy

About this poem:
Just some random I believe, inspired by Blue Collar TV with Larry the Cable Guy, Jeff Foxworthy, and Bill Engvall.
Flowers
Flowers that wipe out our sorrows
Am I hallucinating?
Flowers of varied colors blooming
A testament of beauty that soothes the pain?
Maybe...
I would like to undo these dark thoughts in my mind
I would love to create a world that is of balance
Where there is dark so would there be light
Where there is hate, love must override
And so on..
Is there anyone here who would join me
And scrape off this morbidity?
Or am I all alone?
We are like drowning in the oceans of doom
It has to change, we have to be strong..
So let us go out and plant, I know we can
Flowers that soothes our sorrows and pain
Flowers that make our world see the light
We deserve it, I know we do...
Not just sadness and sorrow
I am all for it,
Are you?
Am I hallucinating?
Flowers of varied colors blooming
A testament of beauty that soothes the pain?
Maybe...
I would like to undo these dark thoughts in my mind
I would love to create a world that is of balance
Where there is dark so would there be light
Where there is hate, love must override
And so on..
Is there anyone here who would join me
And scrape off this morbidity?
Or am I all alone?
We are like drowning in the oceans of doom
It has to change, we have to be strong..
So let us go out and plant, I know we can
Flowers that soothes our sorrows and pain
Flowers that make our world see the light
We deserve it, I know we do...
Not just sadness and sorrow
I am all for it,
Are you?

About this poem:
How flowers can sooth our sorrows
Feeling Free
Listen to the wind as it blows
A gentle breeze soft and slow
The stars are out
taking on a magnificent glow
Waves pounding rhythmically in a row
How easy it is to become one with the sea
Slowing your life down the way it should be
Enjoying nature's free therapy
Living in the moment and
Feeling free
A gentle breeze soft and slow
The stars are out
taking on a magnificent glow
Waves pounding rhythmically in a row
How easy it is to become one with the sea
Slowing your life down the way it should be
Enjoying nature's free therapy
Living in the moment and
Feeling free
