the suns dying rays
All that one can see is the past
Nothing more to say
And very little to do
To the sky hope and prey
When the reaper comes for you
Taxi
I fell in the middle of somewhere
North of the black stump
I paid my fare
It got me over the hump
Old man took my hand
Showed me his wondrous reign
Smiley weathered face a headband
Hand in my pocket a costly pain
Another offered a helping hand
A good Samaritan bless his soul
It was all part of master plan
To extract a gleeful toll
I happen upon a young man
In a red and black uniform
Who said rest by this cooling fan
Ill find the answer on my phone
He thought about my troubles
In a kind voice he did declare
I have an answer to your problem
Though you have to commit to a fare
His cohort at once came running
Exclaiming offer of assistance
Sadly your home is trembling
But its of no importance
At last I met kind traveler
Who did assist in my hour of need
Chose not to exact a pound of flesh
Instead, with kindness he planted a seed
Replenished and reinvigorated
My faith in human creed
For there are kind and helpful men
In all of Earths lands there are indeed
Water
A warm winters night
Is obscene with no delight
Like a dozer’s relentless mighty push
Which sterilizes our noble bush
I remember the promise of green
And bubbling of life divine
Running water so pristine
Natural world was yours and mine
But what of it I hear you say
All of this earth must die
Tis not point to fear today
And none are yet to utter a cry
Its not death that I fear
Nor its cohort decay
But black air that fill my lungs dear
For the future of this jewel I pray
Man cant live on bread alone
Industry needs meat
Headstrong heart has turned to stone
And soon he wont need his feet
Progress will not be denied
In this there is no merit
Life quality has declined
Our children will bear it
I’m done I’m spent I want no more
I don’t want to be involved
It was a mistake to consider
The environmental riddle
Could ever be solved
Alone
Cold air of the night
Surrenders to dawns light
Distant mind and fearful heart
A new day a new start
She walks with grace
Hair wound tight
Air of confidence
Glad is the man of such sight
Aimlessly gaze upon the sea
Barrier strong and tall
Loving heart longs to be free
How can she scale that wall
Strength has gone and spent
Drowning she reaches for the foam
Wonder where the years went
When did her heart turn to stone
Life has almost passed
Story told and at an end
All that is can not last
Mind’s a tower which will not bend
Lucifer
My dear friend and companion
Your cries breach the ocean blue
Theres no rest from confusion
No open doors for you
The distance between us
Is great and profound
My journey will soon end
I am homeward bound
Aimlessly wondering
Contemplating your plight
I’m with you my dear friend
On this cold and windy night
I hate to see you in such state
Angry your soul will consume
Snarling and clawing wont abate
From that thief vacuum
Adriatic nights
We were young
The Adriatic was on fire
Played and frolicked in the sun
The fuel youths desire
Dark exotic beauty
With short hair and chocolate skin
As she strolled that beach
My mind was immersed in sin
Adrift on a raft with Kotor’s flower
I dared to touch her hand
Stunned as a surge of power
Lifted me above this old land
Sunny days and loving nights
Oh to be young alive and fast
Drink deeply from that cup I say
For its destined not to last
A lifetime has now past
Tried to re-kindle that fading light
Never will the sands of time
Again, offer that Adriatic night

My dear friend from a far
