It was only a phone call
In the scheme of things
But with it came
A sense of beckoning
A voice from the past
To raise the spirit
Catching up with the world
Had its merit
So far advanced
An so far behind
There's no comparison
Between our kind
But our ties go back
Forever an a day
Lifelong memories
Always to stay
An even though
Its always a while
A simple gidday
Enthuses my smile

Beneath the shade of the frangipani
You spent your hours there
Ciggie butts overflowing
While the wind played
Havoc with your hair
Your vision always blurred
From the past of your despair
But a smile always welcomed
From under your bespectacled glare
Lost in your world
Amongst thoughts an memories
You'd hardly notice a visitor
Until upon you.. you'd freeze
Out with a shreik
Then your focus repaired
Hello daaaarling was your reply
To show that you cared
Beneath the frangipani
Especially in bloom
You mended many memories
An absolved your gloom

Starlight starbright
Help us find joy
Within our plight
A little ray
Amidst a dark day
Enlightens us to play
Courage in our heart
Another coarse to start
Allows us to part
The hurdles in our way
But just for a while
We would love to smile
Doing anything worthwhile
Like a normal day
Starlight starbright
Shine a light on all

A thousand steps walking a crooked fence
Only a hundred thousand more to go
Escaping the clutches of the white man
An to hide like a rabbit in burrow
Across barren lands an desert sands
On your journey to be free
Will driven from memories
Of your lands an family
Guide us fence through day an night
An return us to where we must be...

Sometimes its best to leave well alone
Even when your credibility is cut to the bone
Unquestioned comments will fester away
An time will reveal itself in its own way
Never will a word be spent against kin
The cost to high to appease the sin
Respect for the 'laws is all i thought
No need to beg borrow or be bought
I'll stand my ground an hold my head
Never to know the words that were said
Things will never be the same now i know
A lifetime friendship turned into loyal sorrow
A different vision of what you see
A different vision of you to me

Perusing through the profiles
To appease my lonely sense
I stumbled upon a corner
With an interest of intense
A place where people share
Everything an all
To express what they feel
Life journey their call
They must feel at ease
As if they were at home
For at poet's corner
You are never really alone
Write what you may
Express what you must
The feeling at the corner
Is one you can trust
You can walk away
For a day or three
Each time you return
There is no fee
Just a welcomed return
Never to have met
Home to some
Others not to forget

Everyone ......has a reason
To express ...what they say
Some just to heal....Others
For recognition.. their way

Whatever ......their choice
Whatever ..........they say
Open.............. mindness
Is.......... always the way

For writing .....an reading
Is ...........to be blessed
More luckier .....than some
Whose life... may be messed

Everything .that is written
Will always... be critiqued
As .....the balance of life
Is just.......... so unique

Teaching my boy to rise above
Things .......that maybe said
Bad comments ....not regarded
Will never mess with your head

As adults i would have thought
That ...some tact would be had
And respect ...to All who read
Whose company... we share glad

In a..... very public platform
As regarded........... as this
People........... come to read
The poetry........ ......Bliss

Driftwood washed upon the shore

From a cyclone passing by

History of once a tree

Your existance does belie

Buried within the sands of time

To create a seat divine

A view of wondrous imaginings

Would be harder to find

If you could speak an tell of all

That did appreciate you

I'm sure there'd be thousands of words

That would ring a story true

I see the lonely spirits
Wherever i go
They would be the ones
That nobody knows
Just doing their thing
In the corner of the bar
Not searching for nothing
Near or far
Conversation ....... all around
Sitting stoicly in their surround
Awaiting a comment to rebound
Or maybe just the soothing sound
Of people....... an the chatter
While drinks being had
An the atsmosphere glad
No need to be sad
No need to go mad
Lonely spirit on your own
I know your here
For your not home

I know your heart is acheing
The earth trembles with your pain
I've scarred your life with a lovers knife
Despondent for my gain

My intentions were not planned
Nor schemeing in their vision
So when light of day shined our way
Overwhelming was our collision

Fragile as a butterfly
I tendered a gentle hand
But what you saw at the door
Was nothing but demand

I feel you never settled
Your travels all but slow
The chance we take was our mistake
A hindrance for us to grow

No sooner had you arrived
Your reasoning a blur
I'll not be here long its all wrong
I feel i am a spur

I helped you on your journey
A path that wasn't planned
I never held you back my vision black
A stranger in this land

I hope you are well
Whereever you may be
For i really care an would share
A friendship for you an me

Let me bask within your lovliness
To cleanse myself of me
Amidst your natural charisma
My identity is free

You have a way of revealing
The passion that lies deep
I dream of you every night
In the wanderings of my sleep

Our time is but a hiccup
In the avenue of life
I aim to change your heartbeat
To skip but once in strife

Dance within the halls
Of the warmest place i know
Amongst the teardrops of yearning
Embracing our souls to grow..

With every lyric you sang
I felt the reason there
I saw you reaching reaching
For nothing nothing but air

Everytime you did
Vibrating from your soul
Transparent in your actions
The truth you did behold

It took me to places i love to be
To share with friend or foe
No angst within your aura
Only lovers of music to grow

Backed by an acoustic
In the form of a king
Delivering sizzling sounds
Heaven you did bring

You sang you blew
An tinkered on your mini grand
You beat your bongo's
As if from another land

Addictive performance
In the heart of the hills
Down by the creek
Amongst the wintermoon stills.
