Untitled Musing
Through the whims of a dreamlike state I fix my open eyes onto the ceiling and listen to the brush of my fresh meditation. I find myself being carried over voices and scenarios that play repeatedly inside me. I see old faces of love and paint an image of perfection with the colours of every woman that ever stepped on my heart. I think of poetry and the refuge inwrought within it. I smell its...

I Confess
If being anti-establishment means opposing the murder of innocent people and exposing the corruption that ties a nation together, then yes I am that. If being unpatriotic means valuing the life of another different to that of mine, then yes I am that too. If being a man means degrading women, using violence as a means of expression and remaining a slave to the cunning elite, then I confess, I am...

Anthropos
They will kill me one day,
My innocence, of none importance,
My crime, will be bought to the ears of a non-existent jury,
How unjust,
They will kill me one day,
The enigma they carry,
To a man of such simplicity,
To a man of nothing,
Can only be classed as a historical mystery,
They bleed like me,
They cry and hurt like me,
Yet their heart is not like mine,
It seems their soul and spirit is a...

The True Gift
True talent is not in the final masterpiece but in the perseverance. The true gift is not the born skill, it’s learning humility. The true applause is not from the crowd, but from the soul. True success is not the award, but the courage given to another to face their every single fear.

Mountains & Motorcycles
Only a few more days
before I traverse again the great hips of this land,
drown my lungs in perfumes sailing from the earth’s breath,
in nameless scents that have yet to fall into words
I perspire something like God at work.
Only a few more days before I ravage the sinuous roads
and drink from the sun’s back,
skating past diamond rice fields that frame a peasants dream,
I let my...

With You
Where am I? I’m in the world that opens when a musician closes his eyes. I’m inside the feeling born when a mother holds her first baby. I’m behind the rays of the sun that fall upon the face of an innocent man as he makes his first steps back towards freedom. I’m with you.

Before You Go
Never has it been my intention
to bring failure to your door
rather if I could I would pilfer a star
to glide through your finger
or have your pillow stuffed with angels
so to sleep beside your every desire,
but being who I am
inflamed by poetry and madness
I’m able only to bring you
the melting earth from my heaven
the lambent fabric from my dreams
that meekly dress your body
with the same poor...

Slow Boat Ride
It carries me
over an ocean of frosted glass
with the flags of every wild season
hoisted high by gardens of clouds,
children of love in a Godless universe
and then suddenly
space
enough to sustain the appetite of the entire future
to accommodate every chance,
every possibility that could open...

Be Love; Be Poetry
Evening Monsoon (Koh Samui)
When the rains came
the streets fell silently to sleep
inside sheets of shine
leaving everything exposed
like sky
the drunken louts in bars
left their talk of loss
pulling themselves from sticky lights
and empty bottles of confidence
everything was put back in its place;
wrinkles found eyes again,
shadows became honest,
beds turned wide,
as time woke from the clock
sandpits spun on their...

Word of Advice
Word of advice dear friend
if your dream is of money
then go be a lawyer, broker or pop star;
the last place you come to
is the house of the artists
All we have here is Truth
coupled with infinite recession.

Elders
There sits loneliness
With a heart pressed against time
the days inwrought with the same face
the same colour
forever
until a picture speaks
in angel song
from its old-glass smile
into heaven.
All that is love
gets given back to the earth;
At last
the doors of the world trap a shadow
then close alone.

Mahatma Gandhi Quote
Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I shall have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it, even if I may not have it at the beginning.
Gandhi

Smile
Smile that fervent smile The one that bubbles up From your epicentre And makes others forget Their troubles for a while. Smile that happy smile The enlightened one Not the one of idle frivolity But the endearing one The one I’d one day like to see Smile because I ask you to Smile because you know That when you do I’ll be right here Smiling back at you

Beneath Samui Skies
Samui has been kind to me these last few weeks, having now been successfully seduced by the islands ambled flow, its windless evenings and extensive strolls along infinite white beaches that always leave me lost in a flume of insignificance. At times I’m forced to stop and just stare in astonishment at the complete magnitude and depth of such verdant surroundings. The rich jungles with their...

Our Sickness
We are sick, so very sick!
How my gazed eyes suffered tonight at the sight of such an unnatural arrangement. Why do they make such ugly choices in the face of such magnificent beauty? Here, in the heart of paradise where palms trees sway to cool the dry ground below and clouds play like children on a retreat, I have seen the desperation in man culled from its barren one-bedroom apartment and...

Bangkok Wanderer
As the doors glided open at Bangkok airport I heard myself say aloud ‘Whoa’. The intensity of Thailand’s late April heat just wrapped itself around me, hugging with that warm welcoming greeting that you would expect to feel at airport arrival gates. Before coming to Thailand people had often asked me what I was going to do once I got there and my response was always to take a left. Unfortunately...

Thailand Day 1
After being delayed at Heathrow the flight made it in to Moscow late. When I got there they stuck me on a coach that took me to the wrong part of the airport. I tried to find someone to ask where i was meant to be as my flight was about to leave, but they all just replied in Russian. I had to go through 2 security checks, barge my way through a line of impatient Russians and hurl myself onto the...
