The hand I held
A touch that brings compassion A twinkle in the eye The arm, e’er so tender The touch that’s felt is mine. Stairs, to door, lead to course Friendly strangers wave Have I been living, anonymously? Companionship is saved. A crack when club meets ball Its seamless, silent, fate Hands on wheel, foot to floor Then […]
the world beyond the fatal shore
The world beyond the fatal shore Not like the world in days before Danger we could glean Danger knows not, of hill-top morn’ Or life of old-country, worn Hard yakka it had been But enough of hills, enough of grass You knew young love would never last Life offers so much more Past the dip, […]
But once
Tell me that the Earth is round I’ll convince you it is square Tell me there’s justice in the world I’ll tell you it’s unfair Tell me to sit down I’ll surely want to stand Tell me you prefer the hills I’ll run along the sand Tell me; turn toward the right I’ll move further […]

A Year
A year passed by tonight I know not where she went She may have gone down corridor And invited in repent Her glowing eyes, her flowing locks Were not for nothing now Destined to absolve my sins With a frown upon my brow For most that night, they knew not Of penitent’s existence Living for […]
Beyond the voice
Travelling far from anywhere The silent township it was reached Thoughts were far from anything Only to be found under feet. ‘Waste not want not,’ she doth cry A whisper from a quiet voice ‘Waste not want not,’ before he died Enduring be the summer sky. The bright blue sky, the summer sun The only […]
