How is it how you interact
Can you communicate with ease
Can you deliver what you want known
Or do you just freeze

Do you have a silver tongue
That sneaks behind their guard
An loosens up their credibility
An opens up their heart

Be it the old lady down the road
Or the kid behind the counter
Can you treat both the same
An enjoy the banter

What about the aggro dude
Who's so into himself
Or maybe the ordinary girl
Whose confidence is on the shelf

What about the drunk
Whose life is somewhere lost
Or the rich fella in the suit
Who never wonders about the cost

Be it black white yellow or green
I dont really care
As long as i have interaction
Then communication i"ll share

For everyone has something to offer
No matter how it is portrayed
The value of such does differ
A long as the genuiness is paid

Paid by respect to whats on offer
Simple vision an simple terms
A nod a wink an honest smile
An conversation looms

The night it is barren
from inland to the sea
but I am the one who loves you
you are not alone.

Tonight the sky is empty
stars fall in the sea
I am the light to guide you
do not wish to be alone.

If the world becomes deserted
all eyes you see are sad
I will smile for you
you will never be alone.

Sleeping I dreamed you
awake I keep dreaming
I dream because you love me
and I am not alone.

It is sometimes madness
a longing absentee
call it love
and we are not alone...

Love forever eludes me perhaps because it flies on angelic wings
And yet my earth bound body is beneath the weight of gravity
Its like following a rainbow to an end I'll never see
Or like chasing the horizon as it falls away from me
Will I ever find that pot of gold and embrace a warm sunset
With my heart on sandy shores beneath a sky I won't forget
To become envious of the moon as it illuminates her face
Gently dancing across her skin as it adorns with utter grace
Then inhale the scent of beauty as her lips press next to mine
As I watch the midnight sky reflect inside her radiant eyes
and in her starry shade 
  Of dim and solitary loveliness
I learn’d the language of another world
That I've found deeply within a kiss

I love to see a child cry...
When it's tears of joy pouring from their eyes...
I love to see a child die...
When it's laughter that causes the dying inside...

I love to see a child in pain...
If it's just from the loss of their new toy plane...
I love the sound of a child's screams...
When they wake up realizing it was just bad dreams....

I will cradle you with my comforting arms...
Keeping you safe from the pains and the harms...
I will wash away all your pains of the day...
No matter what you may do or may say....

My Dearest Father in Heaven;

I know it's not my right tonight to inquire of Your position...
Curiosity, has obviously, gotten the best of me...
I will not try to justify this unjust inquisition...
Why must there be, for all to see, such harsh atrocities?

It is in this holy place of solitude that I contemplate our fate...
For time waits for no one in this season of disgrace...
Spirit worlds have a perfect record of accepting...
All of those rejecting their unlimited space....

You need not answer me these things Dearest Father...
My faith will trump my fears...
I say these things in Jesus's name...
And seal them with my tears...
Amen....

A New Day Dawning

My heart did flipflops in the predawn light
Filled with such a sense of calm
I knew not from whence it came
Sunlight danced majestically upon the placid lake
Stirring in me feelings I had long ago buried
Neath the rubble in my mind
As I sat transfixed, slowly sipping coffee from a steaming mug
I lazily drank in the sounds of a new day dawning
Slowly awakening from it's twilight slumber
I could not move , did not want to move
From this new place where I was bathed in such serenity
Had it really been here all the while?
As I pondered this thought, I heard a rustling in the wind
Calling to me , heeding me to seize this day
For it will never come again .

I’m not looking for ideal.
I’ve seen ‘em,
They are all fake.


I’m not looking for a match
With the same interests as mine.
I would learn nothing new.


I’m not looking for alike thinker
I would start the phrase and he would finish it for me.
I need no echo.


I am not looking for a stunning beauty
I need no mirror


I’m not looking for Mr.Right
On the closer look he appeared to be Mr.A***ole
I’m not looking for him again.


I want My Mr.Wrong
With all his imperfections, faults
With all our differences


I want us to care for each other
Stay on each other’s side whatever happens


I don’t want extraordinary love
What we need is to love without getting tired

You wish for me to write a sonnet
Words of love dripping from the page
But then you come and insult my bonnet
Did you not think that would result in rage

Your car you flaunt, just fuels the fire
Laugh at me, I’ll teach you a lesson
In trouble you’ll be most dire
On your car I’ll let out my aggression

I might be small but I’m mighty quick
On your bonnet I lightly spring
Your windscreen I break with a mighty kick
The sound it makes is a lovely zing

So take this, no more fun you’ll make
You never know what next I’ll break

My Love where have you gone
You have left me all alone
I’ve waited year after year
Waiting and waiting to hear

Are you far over the ocean and seas
Where gulls swiftly fly merrily
Or at the peak of a mountain top
Where the clouds fly by non-stop

My heart wishes to hear from you
It craves to see only one view
For it sees only with feelings
Desiring for the love that is healing

My dear where are you now
My love for you abounds
Wherever you are would be home
Please no longer leave me alone

My grandfather who art in heaven
Victor French be his name
Fought for this country like many more
Gallantly with no shame

To protect the souls an aussie goals
He always had in mind
Fallen comrades an mates
He tried not to leave behind

With gunnedah blood he did shrug
All hurdles in his way
A seargeant in the army
He led from day to day

But wars of life are not a game
For death is everywhere
Priceless pawns moved into place
To fight for what they care

History is an will always be
Of many untold stories
Brave men gone to war to set you free
Not to seek the glories

For war has no glory
As too much suffering there will be
Lives lost at such a cost
The fee to be free

For my grandfather i have said
An ANZAC through an through
Raise your glass tip your hat
A proud aussie .....True Blue
