Hear the cry of your soul yearning for more Slashing against every pore of your core Don’t you see the shadowlands inside Masking the great beyond in the sky? Can’t you see the light behind the lies That once innocent now hides sights? Jump off now to loosen your neck Swear off drugs, all hands... Continue Reading →
Car crash coloured sky #poem
Pray for the city shining through puddles Soaking my parka and pizza and soul Say this pilgrim expects cuddles After a long and weary walk home. Traffic lights in bloom, they stop, I run A jungle of fluorescent smog my goal Home is where there is no sun Only traffic and a commune of moles.... Continue Reading →
A brain storm on the meaning of life
The buddha says suffering is inevitableBut meaning is today’s holy grail. We don't see the forest from all the trees. We are alive. Why? Because our body is capable of consciousness. Why? Because the body gets food and water every day and sleeps regularly. Why? The body is living in an environment that supplies what... Continue Reading →

Hellbent #poem
ran into your God rough sleeping yesterday
he said his church had turned into a yoga studio
Manicfestation #poem
a wide grey canvas clouds my eyes wall of pine trees stretching high in between, a stone sits shy peel off moss: here he lies rotten bouquet sprouting flies joined by you and me and sky flecks of blackbirds passing by breathe out desperate, inhale wide cold fresh air and specks of light any ghosts...
