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...
