Crimson sunlight, through windows at six
Inspires ideas, please let my future be bright
Music on; showered; dressed, and news channel one
No excessive spate: a sprightly daily fix
The hope to cope, with life is helped
By music and people; food, daydreams and wine
Birds when they sing: no need for a clock
Planning a meal – fried duck in a wok
Soup of the day, on the day I get paid
Reading, writing, illustrious plans to be made
Looking up at the sky, awaiting the stars
I’m thankful for life, knowing I’ll die

Kiss all your friends
Give names to the inanimate
I’m telling you when the weeds start growing from your head again
You’ll remember your vow to never regret it

You stand before me in your garden, digging dirt to lay your tulip seeds beneath
Prancing around me as you scatter them fruitlessly
I almost want to flee
Until I watch as you hurdle to the ground rolling in the fresh soil
Giggling like the child you wish you could have been
I decide to join you

Kiss all your friends

Prancing around me as you scatter them fruitlessly

Until I watch as you hurdle to the ground rolling in the fresh soil
Giggling like the child you wish you could have been

Volumes of thought race through
simplistic, conniving minds.
Communique sport is a ravishing trip.
Up with conundrum a rhetorical script.
Old school politics are long since forgotten,
but the river is rising up over its banks.
Soon all will know desolation’s foul scent!
So bring us your poor, your weak and your masses.
We'll dash them with words,
without batting an eyelash.

ENLIGHTENMENT

The sun shines on a newborn world
Too young yet to grow old and tired
Just green forests with leaves unfurled
Mankind is soon to be inspired

No intellect, just an instinct
Imaginations not yet fired
A mystery how all are linked
Mankind is soon to be inspired

Hominids and emergent man
Early brains in confusion mired
Survive and thrive as best they can
Mankind is soon to be inspired
