HERE I AM AGAIN
SITTING IN SOLITUDE
YEARNING FOR SOMEONE
TO HEAR ME
... TO TALK TO ME
BUT NOBODY'S THERE
NO ONE BUT MYSELF...

IN SOLITUDE
I FOUND MYSELF CRYING
IT MAKE ME THINK
OF DYING
DIE... AND END THIS GRIEVING

BUT THEN IN SOLITUDE
... I FOUND SILENCE
... I FOUND PEACE
THAT CALMS
MY WEARY SOUL...

ONLY IN SOLITUDE
... I'VE KNOWN MYSELF
ONLY IN SOLITUDE,
SO, I WON'T BE ALONE
AGAIN...

Time and time again I have written
Here some words straight from the heart
I sit here, once again pen in hand
Slowly my thoughts turning, to write this poem
I know not yet what words appear
Some run, some drag themselves on paper
And then I see some sense they make
Reeling, tottering, rolling all around
Every word that my pen does write
Allows this poem to near it's end
Laughingly you look at it
And say, ' well he's at it again'
Challenged me, well challenge met
Right now I'm wondering I did it why?
Only thing that I can think of
Satisfaction for job well done
This has finally reached it's ending
I leave you to judge my work
Challenge has been met

Rolling down the dusty unmade road
Over the rackety bridge we rode
A slow trickle of water under it flowed
Driving on even though the road narrowed

Tranquillity not at all overshadowed
Room to breath without feeling harrowed
Inner paths stretch leading to the highroad
Places now flash by, some of them hallowed

Starlight

S ee it winking
T winkling, dazzling
A ura filling the sky
R ays and beams shining
L ighting all the heavens
I nferno of gases and flames
G iving birth to new life
H eating us with your silvery light
T ouching our hearts with your mysteries

N ows here the place Joy Adams was chased
A s the lion cubs let loose followed her scent
I n haste through stores and stalls in riotous glee
R ight to her they led George he begged her to stay
O utwitted in her ploy to go she tried again to leave
B ut the lion cubs sure had other ideas and circled her
I nstead she found that no way could she leave them

Another season of color,
Unto is such and there is no other.
To see those leaves fall,
Under our feet the winter will call.
Many days and nights are so cool,
Now those kids, yeah, back to school.

Boyfriend's ex
Always on his mind
Girlfriend confused
Give up or try?
A sorry state
Got to move on
Even if it's without you

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

Ramparts adorn the castle walls
Amidst them slotted turrets
Making for a grim facade
Inside a moat that repelled many
Fortess of all it guards
In its depths a dungeon
Captives were placed there
A home to torture chambers
The stains of blood darkly visible
Inferno pit in the centre
Over which people were hung alive
No mercy given here to foes
Screams heard for miles around

Yesterday is gone, too late for regrets
All memories of the past locked away
My hopes and fears joining them
Troubles I have had like most, happiness
Seemed to be just a dream from the past
So few of them have survived, once
Far from here I was carefree until you went
Away to war, the news came, lost in action

Now I dwell in the past with locked memories
It seems no point when I no longer can share them
Looks of love from others all around me
As if to taunt me, reminding me of you
Though it is a lovely day my heart weeps a single tear
They're one of many that never manages to fall
Here in my eyes they remain burning hot scalding me
To be with you once more just once to hold you
Stay my heart screams, do not go, do not leave me

Oh how can this be, such terrible pain rips at me
I hear a knock on the door and he is there saying
Believe in me my love, I told you I would return
In your heart you knew I was alive, I am back safe
Yesterday is over, the war won and our life moves on
