Beneath my floor


 Look beneath my fault and floor.

Meet someone else behind my door.

Susan


For me you’ve been a tree

Standing tall and strong

Stretching out to reach 

Me in my stricken song

Jack-built


This is my house that Jack built
I'm not racked with guilt by the cracked tilt
My back is not wilted by the black silt
Though this is a house on a shack stilt

The Bookbook


Oh no! So sad!
I’ve finished my book
I took as long as I could
I’m lost, I’m cooked!

Care less


I should care less
My distress is useless
I should get used to us

Samwise


Motivation
My devotion to myself
Has long stagnated

Legless Wonderer


No single sclerosis
Is scarring my brain
Just one diagnosis
I’m going insane

Unkarchered territory


Mixer mitosis
Stinky my bean
Qwok home syndrome
Topsy between

Birthday Dave


Data Dave
Is very brave
He battles the numbers
And never blunders

Unholme syndrome


You wanted me no more 
My brokenness was rife
You clutched the kids you bore 
It’s me you unadore

Testing One Two


Testing 1, 2
It’s covered my shoe 
Testing 3, 4
My knees are sore
Testing 5, 6
My waist is in bits
Testing 7, 8
My chest is dead weight 
Testing 9, 10
My neck is at an end
Testing 11, 12
My head’s on the shelf

Bottled Bee


Would you muzzle a humming bird
To hear it sing no more
Would you bottle a honey bee
To taste no more toffee

Bush Walking


Sleeping Beauty

Cradle Bed

Cathedral Nap

Dreamy Head

Some things

A bug on a wall

An ant in a hole

A bee on a bush

Your very own soul

Yes today

Yesterday 

All my troubles seemed they’re here to stay

Now it looks as though they’re far away

Oh, I believe

In yes to day 


Not headed for Town

There is a staring stair

That winds its way to me

If you but wanted it

Turn and look and see

Winding straight

May your track wind straight
May your hill always climb
May your river keep flowing
May you get there on time

September first


Happy spring

Happily sing

Spring out of bed

Sing off your head

A time to heal


Do you want me to be silent

Do you wish I’d close my heart

Do you want me to be private

Like when you drove me part

And father of four 

My work and toil

Is rarely a bore

All I’ve got.

There once was a little dog Bono
Who to every question would answer “dunno?”

Anymore


“Don’t blow me any kisses”

You don’t want them anymore 

You loathe my little raspberries 

“Don’t blow them at the door”

Falling


Silly me sacrificing
Everything for thee
When all along I’m slaving
For naught but else than me

My Bread


The bread that feeds the will
Gives life to mortal me
The Lord the Word is still
Made flesh for all to see

Gallery


Suddenly I’m standing
In an open gallery 
It looks to be expanding 
Much more than I can see

The Agony


The inner loss of losing you
Despite my love and plea
There is no greater agony
Than to lose your love for me

Longtime Walkabout


Bin up there walkabout 
Long time 
Bin lookin an thinkin

Wet and Wandering


Whither will I wander
In this weather well
Well will l wonder
Whether I be well

Burning


The ground is cracked
And baking bare
I stagger forward
Not knowing where
I head toward
This fatal day
On which I hoard
My deep dismay

Wannabeget


Woebegone tired
And worse for wear
I’m under the weather
With a Wobbegong stare

Night Alone


The day is gone
The night is home
I pray and mourn
And wait alone

Marigold Winter


My hens have stopped laying 
My bees only linger
My skinks are hibernating 
It’s past time for winter

Mercenary Love


You wanted me for what I could give you
You needed me just to make it through
You loved me for the promise of lifestyle
You went along with my big boy smile

Dancing


A starling murmuring
Pirouettes in flight 
A chattering of wing
Swooping round in fright

Idol of my Heart


Supermassive black hole
Orbiting with all my soul
Spiralling galaxy
Falling in endlessly

Trust and not just Tries


I want to write a poem
To put my mind at ease
I’m not like Jeroboam 
I’ve started keeping bees

Left to Be


You can’t love an empty shell
I’ve got no spark you see
You’ve tried much more than I can tell
You’re loathed and so lonely

The Sunset


The golden sun was sinking in the West,
And as it did so its brilliant colours glared in the eyes of a little child.
