Who listens

the piano plays

the violin
crests so neatly

the harp stills the night
as plucking sweet
petals

a deepening tone of piano
in E and F

No room for another

A semitone

So gracious, yet so out there!

12 string
gathering the rain

then
un blinded

fluid with the river

thumb sounds
from the heat

swing that potion
move the moments

sweet the smile that
rises
to the rhythm

hips and groove
flicking through the sound

a fire beyond
yet
tight your gaze

Slip
Grasp
Surrender

"Remember"

I venture out

Thinking some was true
Having split scenes
I knew

of talking poetry
of creeping a word

to posts I knew
caught up with absurb

I love that
I can not reel away
from what some posts
in their own may say

Rough and tumble
sweep my words of depth

for may be
it shall be from the step

In the end shall be

a game as all
that

sparks the flame

A silence
that become us all

A Rough and Tumble

as we fall

That music!

I waited with much glee
the ice cream truck
music playing
It came to me!

my coins so sweated
in my hand
just one dollop
for me
in my hand

no double ice cream for me
no matter
Here it was
a pyramid of glee

I saved enough for chocolate coated
wind and rain
smelling gumboots
shivering duly noted

MR Whippy man
Mind that child

a way to learn
I wait patiently
for my turn

You left me from the sun
tried to warm
your feet upon the moon

but I came around once again
eclipsed like a friend

There's no hiding from the rocks
as surely they will
flock

I tired so hard
kept you here with me

yet I knew
crystals see

a wonder to behold
an old rock
you slipped away

fleeting from my hold
silent nothing for your sway

as you gather all the stars
and write
within the universe
I my love
only

hold back upon a curse

read and stumble within
happy scope of the heart

for I see you forgive me
a wrong I must immerse

I shall drown amongst my sorrow
no look upon a hand

For I know
my forgiveness

Lays amongst the grains of a sand

Ever dance upon the sand?
leaving wayward footprints
no one cares
where they stand

Ever smell the wet of leaves
as trudging though
Waitakere
hugging trees


Ever floated in the sea
no cares
and gone are fears

Ever looked at sunsets
then looked behind
for no one
yet all was fine

Ever tried to answer
yet no words would spill
yet at another moment
you picked up the quill

Ever cried alone?
knowing all was good
as you sat
yet a temple you stood

Ever wrote a poem
that all was you
then here I am
I bid you adieu

Arohanui

Sitting so proud
a giver for all around

That green casserole dish
which I knew
held no fish

plonked in the center
no elbows on the table

Who says prayers
I thought
Lets tuck in
I am able


"For what we are about to receive"

The lid was lifted!
Oh! the smell
patiently waiting
my tummy could tell


sizing up my sisters plate
She's got more
but that was my fate

as each round of meat
I could now
so delicatley
dig and eat

I broke all rules
and swooped upon my delight!
with tiny hands ate and sucked

They ner not look at me
as they were the same as me!

stand me on the beer box!
dishes shall be no fear
I loved my oxtail stew

When my family was so near

dancing to the sun
knees folded
making daisy chains
for fun

His glasses slanted
reflecting rainbows
he looked at me with love
I knew it
I felt safe
the warmth from up above

a rickety chair
his lap blanket near

all crocheted
with nana's hands

I touched and smelt
her beautiful lavender air

"Poppa?" I asked
"why do like the sea"?

"Ah! he said
When I am gone
come here again

this is where I'll be"


That's nice
then you'll never go?

"my heart is here"
he said

then lovingly

patted me on the head

From all the tides of time
he was
always mine

yet a crimpest face I knew
To walk within the field

Ragged for if I fell

If it was him
I surely
would

yet no darkest would be grim

As my feet shall follow

my heart wanders to you
upon the broken glass
pouring tears

reaching quietly on the hollow

I have always loved you

let no doubt trip you on the stream

yet allow my love for you

knit you in my seam

for gathered skirts
and diamond laces

I can only weep
within the guns

of fields
Of lonely places

For all things I have said
For all silent moments
as I lay upon my bed

For all the words that were taken
so cruel

I just want to use touching hands
against the fool

oh! rip the face of clowns
sit and wallow with the sound

I realise that here is those

a word within the prose

wandering through the maze of words

little farmer just tastes the curds

a beautiful drop
within the cup

I am but only just a mere me
sitting alone
under my tree

as little piglets snuff around

what truffles have they found

To push for answers is actually wrong

maybe
with
an almighty song


who cares who dares
who are we

to only at times answer

stop stop and flee


Its a moment in time

no hurt so much

but I look to when you come home

a wilderness

I am not alone

She haunched
as the
little widow warmer does

no web no home
no pushing to a shove

touching delicately
each leg and arms in time

upon the ancient wood

If I could
I just would
stand within my prey

but foot steps leave
not a time for another grieve

Why is this so easy?

does bait flow upon my shore?

or with sodden boots
come crushing!
standing on my floor

upon another day
a silent goulish body

waits upon her prey

I lay to bed and went not to sleep
as fog raised like snuffs from cows
all was silent memories

a warmth only to face

Such sadden night was mine
turning upside down
a bent on wrong
tears laying
within my frown

I would want to write of deep strewn poetry
yet scattered upon the floor
kicked amongst the history
lay bleeding against the door

as scattered papers
and blood within the words
shrilled such wrong

ticking time
a distance song

I feared to look away
such grace
that one has shown

to fall upon your face

grappling irons
lay silent
as hanging
nightmares

stilled at times
with grief
and yet

as the shadows of my night befell me
cryptic screams
laying dormant

the sun moved into her place in time

I closed the book
of bloodlet crime

Who pulls me forward?

leave my grasp!

a warning cold
I seek

let me feel the drowning
the silence of the bed

a change from feet to tail

a caressing sea weed
lovingly
tucked within my scale

an illuminous heaven
lays down upon my tears

I have had my time of moon light
a sun you can only feel

for a soul of mine
you cannot just take

for I shall just be swept away

within the perfect
Wake
