The lighthouse breaks the haze,
In an eerie nightly mist,
Sat alone upon the harbor,
A ghostly child awaits his ship,
Dressed in shorts and cap,
A teddybear in his embrace,
Gazing blankly over oceans,
Sat upon an old suitcase,
His cries haunt the darkness,
Echoing beyond the afterlife,
He awaits the ship of souls,
To carry him to heavens light,
And there upon horizon’s,
A ghostly vessel [...]

The Ship of Souls

0I am a Little Spaceman

+2I am a little spaceman,
racing through the stars,
In my cardboard rocket
I am on my way to mars,
The journey won’t be easy
I have rationed all my food,
I will stop of for some petrol
at the station on the moon,
Soon I will reach mars;
I’ll take some pictures for my mum,
One of my friend called Zorton Zloogin
and his amazing [...]
In The Company of Angels

+1For the children who have left here,
And soared through the astral plains,
Unto the arms of heaven,
Though the memories remain,
Now play games with the cherubs,
In clouds beyond the sky,
Running free without restraint,
Living out their new found lives,
No bombs haunt each sleep,
No fist begets each fear,
They are set free to wander,
In a child’s eternal years.

Mister Hedgehog

-1At the bottom of my garden,
Hid beneath a Holly bush,
Lives a sleepy little hedgehog,
He’s sleeping so please shush!
He’s been on an adventure,
He’s crossed the busy road,
Waddled through my garden,
And said “Hello!” to Mister.Gnome,
He sat and watched the stars,
And said “Hello!” to Mister Moon,
Mr. Moon look down on him,
And said “Mister Sun will be here soon”

The Prophecy of Oak

0In the presence of daisies,
And bluebells in the field,
You stand noble,
Ever mighty,
With the wisdom that you yield,
In your bough you hold newborn,
Helpless Magpies in your arms,
Squirrels skip from branch to branch,
They enchant with playful charm,
Your spirit is reborn,
With the colours that you bring,
As you reach towards a rainbow,
You foresee the birth of spring.
In company of [...]
Sing a Rainbow

0A concerto of life greets me,
On a walk through the hills upon whispering highs,
I stand on the shoulders of giants,
Spread out my wings like the birds in the sky,
The scent of mankind distant;
Primal the thoughts in the depths of my mind,
Storms roll in on horizons,
With thunderous roars that echo in time,
Its call may only be [...]
The Bench

0I make passing observations,
Upon a wooden bench I rest,
Eating my lunchtime sandwich,
Brushing bread crumbs of my chest,
All about me strangers,
Just faces without names,
People in a hurry,
In the break of autumn rain,
A man of noble stature,
Holds a newspaper in his hand,
Smoking an old tobacco pipe,
puffing as he stands,
He sits upon the bench,
A rolled up paper by [...]
Great Expectations

0My hopeful heart misleads me,
Tainting my life with hope and confusion,
How I long for her to be near me,
When I’m carried away on this dream of illusion,
In dreams I feel closer to love,
But reality bites and leaves me forlorn,
All alone in this world without her,
With a yearning heart left tattered and torn.
The comfort of sleep [...]
Mother

0Swollen lips gave kisses,
To feuding children in morning race,
Never raised a voice in anger,
As she put on her daytime face,
Battered and bruised,
Her bloodshot eyes would gaze awhile,
As she buttoned up my shirt,
Her love for me showed in a smile,
Her body was the wall,
That stood to shield us from his fist,
She would guide us from the [...]
