IMPOSSIBILITIES

A few 'Impossibilities' people won't get through their head
Peace on Earth is as probable as humans escaping dead
Some day soon poverty will no longer be an actuality
and government admits they're behind poor being reality

Every devastating disease a drug will eventually eradicate
and greedy Pharma shall never again hike there rate
Racism is guaranteed to become part of mankind's ugly past
African Americans cease using the "race card" at last

Murder is another human condition we'll one day eliminate
an impossibility as likely as the impossibility of negating hate
The die-hard optimist I personally deem the severely blind
believing the impossible is possible defines a delusional mind

An overly diverse America becomes The Melting Pot "United'
corrupt government guarantees all their wrongs will be righted
Equality and Justice will indubitably come to fruition for all
...and illegals will be kept out by an impenetrable 'Wall"

Hear your voice I over again

Hear your voice I over again,
Hear and pale I grow,
As with the soul I parted ways
With loveliness of yours!

Had a torment like this I known
Early at crack of dawn,
I wouldn’t have loved, I wouldn’t have nursed
The olive-skinned gypsy girl.

What is the point to heat up in vain
Blood that has frozen in veins?!
To love me you, alas, have failed,
While I am unable to forget.

Contrasting

Contrasting are colors
So are we with fractures of light
Love - hate are just 2 sides
Of knife that cuts my mind sharply

DEAREST DAUGHTER

As your father I should enlighten you about what you'll face out there
'First and Foremost'...this alleged "Gift of Life" doesn't include fair
Don't just listen my daughter... HEAR everything I'm saying to you
more than anything I hope you experience more bliss than blue

One absolution is theirs no getting around having your heart broke
the intense pain induces nausea making you feel "I'd rather croak"
I'm so sorry but 'love' shall be a life challenge most trying
I promise my dearest daughter time will remedy the crying

Heartache is unfortunately bound to linger but you will live
keep fighting even if you feel theirs no fight left to give
My heart falls apart knowing I can't save you from life's pain
learn from every mistake daughter so prudence can be your gain

More times than not counting on another is simply unwise
be reluctant to trust...even "best friends" have disguise
My child you are certain to succeed once out on your own
Crystal NEVER forget you're the greatest joy I have known

Dearest daughter my love for you no scale could possibly measure
I do know when you became my child I got a priceless treasure
When or If I'm needed just know I will always answer your call
until my last breathe.. I'm there if you should ever stumble or fall

The Walker

I WALK ALONE AND EAT ALONE WITH NO-ONE BY MY SIDE,
DRIVERS SHAKING THEIR HEADS AT ME AS I TURN DOWN EVERY RIDE.
FOR IN A CAR OR IN A TRUCK YOU JUST CAN NOT SEE ENOUGH,
I WOULD RATHER WALK THIS COUNTRY ALONE THIS COUNTRY THAT’S SO ROUGH.
TO SEE THE MORNING SUN RISE FROM ATOP ITS EARTHY BED,
TO FEEL ITS MIGHTY HEAT AS IT RESTS ABOVE MY HEAD.
THE SOUNDS OF ALL THAT’S OUT HERE IS ALL I EVER NEED,
IT’S WHEN IM ALONE OUT HERE I FEEL THAT I’VE BEEN FREED.
FREED FROM ALL THE NOISES AND HASSELS OF CITY LIFE,
OUT HERE I CAN DO AS I LIKE AND NEVER GET IN STRIFE.
TO SEE THE NIGHT TIME FALL AND THE STARS BEGIN TO SHINE,
YOU CAN LOOK IN ANY PICTURE BOOK BUT A PRETTIER PICTURE YOU’LL NOT FIND.
SO IF YOU CARE TO TAKE A DRIVE ALONG THIS GREAT OLD TRACK,
YOU HAD BETTER PACK ALL YOUR THINGS FOR YOU WILL NEVER WANT TO TURN BACK.
AND IF YOU’RE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND A WALKER YOU DO SEE,
DON’T BOTHER TO STOP TO OFFER A LIFT BECAUSE IT’LL PROBABLY ME ONLY ME.

About this poem:
I have walked/Backpacked over 11,000 kilometres in Australia since my first walk at 14yo, Adelaide-Tenant Creek, and the one thing that kept me company was my writing of Aussie poems, this was one of my best because it summed it up exactly.

DEAD RED

LIGHTING DISPERSED ITSELF ACROSS THE SKY, THUNDER HULLABALOO’S ITS NAME,
AGAIN A BOLT CATCHES MY EYE, BUT THIS WAS NOT THE SAME.
FOR IT STRETCHED OUT FIFTY MILES OR MORE THEN THE COLOUR TURNED TO RED,
AN OCCURRENCE I HAD NOT WITNESSED BEFORE, MY MIND RUPTURED IN MY HEAD.
I COLLAPSED ABRUPTLY ON MY KNEES, MY HANDS TIGHTLY COVERING MY EARS,
PRESSURE IN MY HEAD STARTED TO SQUEEZE, BLOOD WAS IN MY TEARS.
MY TORSO FELT READY TO BURST, I CATERWAULED IN AGONISING PAIN,
THEN ONCE MORE LIKE THE FIRST, RED LIGHTING CAME AGAIN.
THE INTENSITY OF ANOTHER BOLT THREW ME ON MY BACK,
THEN MY FRAME GAVE A JOLT, I FELT MY NECK TWIST AND CRACK.
I HEARD MY BREATHING SLOW RIGHT DOWN AND THEN IT STOPPED ALL TOGETHER,
I FELT AS THOUGH BEING LIFTED OFF THE GROUND, I FELT AS LIGHT AS A FEATHER.
NO REASONING HAD I BEEN TOLD OF WHY I WAS TAKEN THAT NIGHT,
BUT TRULY NOW I KNOW MY SOUL, IS PART OF AN ONGOING FIGHT.
AS RED LIGHTENING AND HOLLOWING THUNDER, SHOOT THROUGH THE NIGHT TIME SKY,
TURN AWAY DON’T MAKE THE BLUNDER IN HEAVENS BUSINESS DON’T YOU PRY.

The Lover

The World calls her a slut;-
In reality, she's a High Priestess.
Not seeking the World's riches
She burns as she finds.

The World calls him a player
In reality, he is a man on the Road.
Being made Whole
By the kindness of a stranger.

What the common people think
Means nothing to their Quest.

It is only kindness and understanding
That brings them together.

A Circle is being made complete.

This is a Higher Love.

IMAGINE - Part 3 - Candle Joy

Embedded image from another site
IMAGINE – Part 3

Imagine the world without the Candle Joy
The laugh of a child playing with a toy
New parents celebrating a new born birth
Celebrating holidays with sounds of mirth

Without Joy the whole world would be sad
Going around with nothing at all to feel glad
Every day would be like a day of mourning
Nothing to look forward to each morning

What a depressing place it would be
With no happiness in sight to see
Weeping, crying long faces all the time
Of Joy and gladness there would be no sign

On Christmas Day the Candle Joy came
In the form of a baby and Jesus was His name
He gave us the ability to see Joy in all things
Including death as our Spirit then to Heaven wings

DOES A GOD EXIST

The greatest story book ever claims a god created the Heavens and Earth
the vengeful deity also gave humans what he called 'The Gift' of birth
Nowhere does it say he purposely decided perpetual grief would be our fate
an all knowing surely knew 'Faith and Hope' in him had an expiration date

Humans NEED to feel this life somehow actually has meaning
none of significance is where my realistic thoughts are leaning
People of reason shouldn't believe some fictitious almighty exist
what kind of Loving Merciful God lets innocent suffer and evil persist

This life is symbolic of a very precarious Roller Coaster ride
lurking around every corner is wear potential fears reside
All the ups and downs indicative of how you're often feeling
our so-called 'Gift of Life' was guaranteed to keep us reeling

I couldn't worship anything that in no way depicts perfect or nice
don't question HE who we can't confirm is even real or pay a price
Again I declare I've lost faith but still have as much hope as ANY
something is deserving of faith and in Mother Nature I have plenty
