Depression: The Grand Puppet Master

Depression: The Grand Puppet Master

With a smile upon my face and love in my eyes, I am drowning;
Darkness and despair all around, everything hopeless and pointless.
As I go through the motions, I am the master of pretending;
Surrounded by...

A cat “Lost in Time”

“Lost in Time”

She’d lost track of time and was missing for days, for spring had arrived and enticed her away, but her tummy was rumbling and she needed a rest; the green dewy grass didn’t taste the best.

So, dancing through the bluebells...

Hora de Ir

Perdido em um oceano de sombras profundas
À deriva nas ondas da saudade e das horas turvas
Onde está a primavera que outrora prometeste?
Onde reside o calor que outrora me aqueceste?

Sei que não me amavas, isso é certo
E que já não habitas...

Posture

Somehow in my adult years I
Began to slouch without
Awareness that would help me try
To figure that thing out.

While in the Air Force I was told,
"Roll both your shoulders back."
But maybe I was much too bold
To change and I lost track

The woman.

The woman.


The women with spects,
knitting wool in an winter afternoon.
Her hands are shaking.
She will be seventy very soon.

She came to this house,
fifty springs before.
Then the house was only one storey,
with single outdoor.

I Remember

I remember your scent
The aroma that still lingers in my bed

I remember kissing you down your spine
Softly, slowly taking my time

Your touch was gentle and warm
You made me feel what I’ve never felt before

These intangible memories I...

Soft and Sweet

She was soft, she was sweet
Like warm bath water you’d want to immerse yourself in her beautiful brown skin


Two bodies making contact like the waves in the ocean
Oooo what motion

She was soft, she was sweet
I just want to trace her...

The whispering of the leaves.

The whisper from the leaves.

Here I am, sitting on a hill in complete and blissful solitude. You can look, but don't make a sound. Look at the leaves dancing in the wind. Stand still and listen to the sound. The subtle blowing Breeze, when there...

My love

To my love Kortni, you are special in many a way,
I am glad your in my life to stay.
I want to be your boyfriend, lover and best friend,
I want to be with you and never end.
It was fate or destiny that we did meet,
Having you in my life is...

Heavenly Bodies

Bodies entwine,
your hand touches mine.
Your hips sway,
as I move your way.
Slowly making love,
dancing in the stars...

Bridging Tomorrow

Like waking and
breakfast
it’s poetry first

The day is so
ordered
quenching my thirst

Each word like a
greeting
the day on parade

Each feeling
endemic
— another one saved
