Liebestraum
ripples of the clear pond
a white swan
dignified to its own interpretation
of flight
tiny leaves from cypress trees
browning
the earth still so usual to its deep
silence
the last note is played on the piano
a little bird jumps out
from my hair and begins to sing

Moonlight Swim
I long to swim in the waves
of your mind.
It's there in your thoughts
a healing I'll find.
As I travel the star dazzeled
stair case of time.
I see my own light
in this realm so divine.
Awaken! Observe the vast universe.
As you ponder the questions you face.
But remember as you gaze
at the heavens above.
You are viewing
Your own inner space.

Emotions Run Deep But end Happy
The thoughts you bring to me when you call
The joy you bring when you say 'hello'
The smile you put on my face when we begin to talk
How you make my eyes wide when i see you
How my heart starts racing when we touch lips
How my brine focuses just on you
The way my emotions get to a new high when they hear your voice
How tight my arms get when they are aroud you
The way you make me write this without a clue
How you don't even know nothing about this
Or how happy you make me
The way you make me happy
I feel so happy when i'm around you
Never wanting to hurt you because of how happy i get
You just make me so happy
My 69% all over again
I'm happy

Take It Up
A bit thicker,
A bit lovable,
A bit useful,
A bit better;
But we need you and,
You will be well once again! !
However, try to take it up to yourself and,
Let me take this away!
For, i just want you to know who i am.

Congratulations Tony Abbott
Congratulations Tony Abbott on finding your long lost son
Though in helping to create him you must have had good fun
You did not wear a condom which comes as no surprise
Since you believe that birth control is sinful at least in your God's eyes.
In your time as Minister for Employment you condemned the job snob
It's good to hear that your new found son works in a proper job
That he is not on welfare you would find that hard to take
You must feel pleased he is successful if for your ego's sake.
As Minister for Health on your strong stand on pro life issues every Australian know
Now you can tell the Nation look here I told you so
Had my ex girl friend had an abortion my son would not be here today
And Australia for that would be the poorer to me 'twould seem that way.
You try to tell us Mr Abbott that to your higher self you're true
But the son you now feel proud of was raised without any help from you
And though at the joy of finding your long lost son you well may drink a toast
Where were you Mr Abbott when he needed you most?

In The Cathedral
THE altar-lights burn low, the incense-fume
Sickens: O listen, how the priestly prayer
Runs as a fenland stream; a dim despair
Hails through their chaunt of praise, who here inhume
A clay-cold Faith within its carven tomb.
But come thou forth into the vital air
Keen, dark, and pure! grave Night is no betrayer,
And if perchance some faint cold star illume
Her brow of mystery, shall we walk forlorn?
An altar of the natural rock may rise
Somewhere for men who seek; there may be borne
On the night-wind authentic prophecies:
If not, let this--to breathe sane breath--suffice,
Till in yon East, mayhap, the dark be worn.

Different Shades
Do you envision a creeping fear
climbing the minaret
to reach the moon?
A debate has started
between believers and non-believers.
Why not he who lives
in eternal emptiness climbs down
and settles the dispute of hymns
in the scortching heat of words.
I just want you to read
the script and don’t say, a sky
has wept
dropp by dropp on the nakedness
of human beings
who could not cover their shadows.

Life embroiled in crisis manifold…
Tech-driven …net worked …anonymity

Relations redundant… as…

Epitaph of Eurymedon
Thou hast gone to the grave, and abandoned thy son
Yet a babe, thy own manhood but scarcely begun.
Thou art throned among gods: and thy country will take
Thy child to her heart, for his brave father's sake.

Mai
Le mai le joli mai en barque sur le Rhin
Des dames regardaient du haut de la montagne
Vous êtes si jolies mais la barque s'éloigne
Qui donc a fait pleurer les saules riverains
Or des vergers fleuris se figeaient en arrière
Les pétales tombés des cerisiers de mai
Sont les ongles de celle que j'ai tant aimée
Les pétales flétris sont comme ses paupières
Sur le chemin du bord du fleuve lentement
Un ours un singe un chien menés par des tziganes
Suivaient une roulotte traînée par un âne
Tandis que s'éloignait dans les vignes rhénanes
Sur un fifre lointain un air de régiment
Le mai le joli mai a paré les ruines
De lierre de vigne vierge et de rosiers
Le vent du Rhin secoue sur le bord les osiers
Et les roseaux jaseurs et les fleurs nues des vignes
