A very short poem about “gardening” to celebrate the start of Spring. Brown eyes call me, the gardener, To step upon the soft rose petal carpet of your soul, Through gently opening doors, A slow descent, your watering hole Sprinklers rejuvenating foliage, ferns, Intoxicating perfume of your inner world Charms my soul’s depths within me As your love unfurls. Your rich resin, destiny’s...

Without pain I would know not relief. Without heartache I would feel no comfort. Without suffering I would know not joy. Without grief I would have no friend to mourn with. Without the despair of now, in no future would I hope. Without destruction, I would have no need to re-create. Without this bitter desolation, where would be the consolation? Without the fear, demonic...

A Homeless Lament (sung to the tune of Silent Night by the homeless man watching the Christmas shoppers’ legs go by) Noisy night, debauchery night, All is violence, all is shite, Round those slappers with thousands of tools, Bratty infants so callous and cruel, Awake in torment of hell Awake in torment of hell. ©Cre8ivation

Moi, j’suis Paris, même en Angleterre, Toi, t’es mon ami, camarade de guerre, Lui, dans mon coeur, cette victime, qui meure, Elle, c’est une fleur du monde, qui pleure.

I can run and run and travel many thousands of miles as the geese fly from where I am now. I can traverse continents and sail the eight seas to escape my plight and the ordeal that life has dealt me. I can fly to the utmost corner of the globe to leave behind the dreams of my fallen existence. But when I arrive I...

Every step we have taken Every breath we have breathed Every life we have touched Every joy we’ve received Every hope that’s been crushed Every plan we believed Every hurt we have caused Every time we’ve deceived Every word we have spoken Every thought we’ve conceived Every “every” now brings us To present from past And beckons at last To the future ahead. ©Cre8ivation

I headed downstairs today with a bin bag of rubbish. There are eight large,blue bins outside the apartment block for residents to use. As I opened the lid to throw the bag in I nearly jumped out of my less-than-pale skin at the sight that greeted me. There, looking dazed, confused and on the brink of terror was a dishevelled man in his late twenties. He had...
