D.A.R.K. P.A.S.S.E.N.G.E.R
D.own and deep in
A.t the bottom of a dissociative soul
R.ests the one I love and rests the one I hate the most
K.eeping me away from evil, hiding me away from me
P.rying from a good, safe distance
A.lmost like I'm there to be
S.ilent whisper that inhabits
S.elling peace for bloody bills
E.very time I’m week and tired, he’s got strength for us to be
N.ever stray or break, nor startle, only if I pay the fee
G.ranting him my self esteem to feed on
E.mty, sweet tranquillity, in a solitaire and hollow silence
R.ight until again he hisses ‘come on back and comfort me’
A.t the bottom of a dissociative soul
R.ests the one I love and rests the one I hate the most
K.eeping me away from evil, hiding me away from me

S.ilent whisper that inhabits
S.elling peace for bloody bills
E.very time I’m week and tired, he’s got strength for us to be

RAGLAN - an acrostic for my husband
R - Roaring waves hit the rocks
A - Amazing surfers we watched as they ride
G - Gliding swiftly over giant white caps
L - Lifting themselves up to create a splash
A - Above a perfect surf they entertained us
N - NZ's number one surfing spot captivated our hearts

About this poem:
Warm thoughts of a lady friend,captured in ink !
DEBASED
Deep down she floats into the murky depths
Ever deeper surrounded by the stench of decay
Before she even realises, there is only gloom
All hope is gone, only despondency and despair
Still once more she tries, one more struggle
Eventually the realisation comes to her, slowly
Death is her option, bowing her head she succumbs
Ever deeper surrounded by the stench of decay
Before she even realises, there is only gloom
All hope is gone, only despondency and despair
Still once more she tries, one more struggle
Eventually the realisation comes to her, slowly
Death is her option, bowing her head she succumbs

About this poem:
IT WAS A 3 PART INSPIRATION - I WROTE IT SHORTLY AFTER READING "He Wishes For The Cloths Of Heaven" by W.B. Yeats - HENCE THE REFERENCE WHICH REMINDED ME OF MY X-GF, (WHICH I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER FOR ALL OF HER QUALITIES); AND MY LITTLE INGENUOUS SELF FOR AS THE PART 3 OF INSPIRATION (NOT TO SAY MY-ULTIMATELY-NAIVE-SELF) FORTUNATELY EVERYTHING WEN'T REALLY REALLY BAD FOR HER, AFTER A WHILE, WHICH COMFORTED ME (BUT JUST A TINY LITTLE BIT)THIS IS MY WAY TO TELL HER, WHEREVER SHE MIGHT BE NOW,THAT SHE'S A SILLY LITTLE BEE
IN HATING MEMORY TO YOU - GOOD RIDDANCE LOVE!-)
HOPE U'LL ENJOY
Inspired Meditation to Change the World
Intelligent observation with the dubious nerve to print the word
Negotiating the intricate conditions with clearly stated terms
Systematically laid out to all peoples, so our words might be heard
Perfectly imperfect, as the human race innately knows how to do
Idealistic without fervor of the extreme zealot of the few
Remembering our histories when we let tyranny continue
Education without stealing inalienable human rights
Demarcation of expectations continually executed in the light
Mediocrity ceased without ordering an unwarranted fight
Excellence in keeping the code sacred that no one will be above
Delicately written in all tongues as perfect trust and perfect love
Idioms of our entire species considered simply because
Together we unconditionally forgive and care for each other
Animated in essence as we share this planet, our great Earth Mother
Temperance in the true definition, softening our angry demeanor
Intrepid to explore the future without the acidity in our heart
Obviate worst expectations as each of us can and will do our part
Natant as we float on the pure energy of the divine to end and start
Thoughts evolving kinetic as they once were, no lies can be told
Oscillating between our differences as greatness unfolds
Sedulous in our goals with the end in mind for us to behold
Anticipation to deeds for the right and good of all
Visionary and efficient not repeating the fall
Exorcising the need for greed listening to the call
Training our minds to work miracles instead of chaos
Harkening to the global consciousness without a loss
Enlightened by the energy with our essence embossed
With freedom, liberty, literacy, prosperity and wealth
Organized by we the people of this blue planet in mean stealth
Recognizing our worthiness and a willingness to expel
Liege for no common reasoning in bigotry
Diligent efforts to erase hypocrisy
Negotiating the intricate conditions with clearly stated terms
Systematically laid out to all peoples, so our words might be heard
Perfectly imperfect, as the human race innately knows how to do
Idealistic without fervor of the extreme zealot of the few
Remembering our histories when we let tyranny continue
Education without stealing inalienable human rights
Demarcation of expectations continually executed in the light
Mediocrity ceased without ordering an unwarranted fight
Excellence in keeping the code sacred that no one will be above
Delicately written in all tongues as perfect trust and perfect love

About this poem:
A small taste of my political flavoringsLOST IN MY EMOTIONS
Lonely nights when I sit and stare, a blank wall and there is nothing there.
Over and over I pray and hope, will tonight be the night, but still I stare.
Silently time marches on, a faint crack of dawn, night’s almost gone.
This night was lost, waste of time, maybe next night, something to act on.
In the night where dreams hold sway, is there hope, I can only pray.
Noises muted, faint sounds of song, somewhere a party, just go away.
My eyeballs ache, there’s pain behind, pressure building, too much to bear.
Yet still I linger refusing to quit, while all around me there is only despair.
Every song sounds the same, tears spilled and memories of loss.
My life is over I now believe, burden I must bear, this is my cross.
Only now I realise, while it’s there you never care, this loss so great.
Tears to wipe to hide the pain, hide the shame while I sit and wait.
I hear a siren in a far off distance, the sound of train, a banshees wail.
Old songs from memories past, bitter sweet recollections my mind assail.
Nightly now I sit and stare, a blank wall and there is nothing there.
Still I pray and I hope, will tonight be the night, to end this nightmare.
Over and over I pray and hope, will tonight be the night, but still I stare.
Silently time marches on, a faint crack of dawn, night’s almost gone.
This night was lost, waste of time, maybe next night, something to act on.
In the night where dreams hold sway, is there hope, I can only pray.
Noises muted, faint sounds of song, somewhere a party, just go away.
My eyeballs ache, there’s pain behind, pressure building, too much to bear.
Yet still I linger refusing to quit, while all around me there is only despair.
Every song sounds the same, tears spilled and memories of loss.
My life is over I now believe, burden I must bear, this is my cross.
Only now I realise, while it’s there you never care, this loss so great.
Tears to wipe to hide the pain, hide the shame while I sit and wait.
I hear a siren in a far off distance, the sound of train, a banshees wail.
Old songs from memories past, bitter sweet recollections my mind assail.
Nightly now I sit and stare, a blank wall and there is nothing there.
Still I pray and I hope, will tonight be the night, to end this nightmare.
