Elegant eagles along the Levant.

Because love is stronger than evil.
Love forgives, evil doesn't.
Love has grace, evil doesn't.
Evil has truth but love has truth and beauty.
Love is eternal, evil is temporary.
Love is divine.
Before evil there was love.
Where did love come from?
If you think too hard the belief falls apart.
So there is faith to support the love that gave us faith.
Love doesn't exist unless required.
Evil broods waiting for its demise.
Evil is easy, love requires work.
Evil occupies life while love rectifies earth.
Love is the desert when the oasis runs dry.
Up from the sand how our falleness sighs.
So, I keep silence beside me and laughter nearby.

Dew on the Ripple

If a fly should choose to land on my knee, then who am I to leave it be.
And if a flea wants to live rent free on a fly, then isn't that divinity.
If a spore should shut the door on the heart of a flea, we mustn't say hypocrisy.
And if a cell is born in the shape of a key, then her music be sung felicitously.

Fat cell fiesta.

Greetings to 2009 and a maternity ward of possibilities.

I hope you are all well as this leaves here.

I've heard it said that people who wear black are afraid of death.

Does that mean that people who wear black are attached to life.

That doesn't seem to fit.

I think people who are attached to life wouldn't wear anything!

This love is right on top you know.

This love is really fine.

Your love's about to blow you know.

O where O where is mine?

(Sung to moving in stereo)

Kilograms and killergrams

Killer grans and kinder gangs.

Like a BMW with a dent,

ahead a source where horses went.

A coloured parasol parfait,

a parasail or pair to sell.

A parsifal to parse the cells.

That's the quest for jest or zest,

lest every squirrel needs a nest.

Closed for cleaning.

A prayer for Penelope. A portrait in passion. I love you.

Keep the thoughts coming and we will talk next year.

In these times of fewer opportunities, less leaps of faith, reduced entrepreneurism, reductions in confidence and a descending conservatism on a generation that has not experienced a recession, I will have mercy on you. That's the difference.

For those who think in the shower, ideas sprout and feed on water like water feeding the plants. Drenched in the memory of those reclaimed atoms pelting our skin and skinning our pelts, absorbed into streams of sexy oxygen that migrate to the brain case and seed the axons with axioms and shudder onto our screen based lobes to act as bulbs for flowers of concepts and septums of conceit. And that's how I plan my day.

For Miss Charlotte Bronte.

Life seems easier when seen through a blur.


The soul, fortunately, has an interpreter -
often an unconscious, but still a truthful interpreter - in the eye.


The human heart has hidden treasures, In secret kept, in silence sealed;
The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures, Whose charms were broken if revealed.

The unfurled world

People create distance.

Distinct extinct extant distance.

If only there was clarity. I can't hear your words. I can't think as quickly. I can't see without help and then I'm not seeing. I can't tassste. I am hard and numb. It's alright to be sad. Shaking the hands of people helps. Is it social ambition or energy being given to me? Does it wake anyone up? Why do I sit? I am sick. Get comfortable and see lots of red. Fear of embarrassment makes me move. There is a person behind me in black. Praying for me? Flat for how long? I know this will change. Clarity will fade with age. Stretch out my arms. Children to look after. God of heaven and earth. You know how I am Lord. Old, sad, jaded, sick. Make me feel better Don't embarrass me into changing. Change me with grace. Here I am telling you how to help me. You never change. Quiet voice. Quite. Quiet but deadly.

How to be a newcomer

I know without knowing. Marriage is like two wheels on an axle. Both going forward. Sometimes one slips and the other takes up the traction. Sometimes one jumps the curb sprung into midair and the other bears the weight. Sometimes one is on the tarmac and the other is offroad. At times both wheels skid and then God takes the wheel. And then there are those times when the wheels are at rest and connect with each other.

I know without knowing. I got soul but I'm not a soldier. It's easy for me I wasn't born a fighter. More a drifter. Passive. Not a conscientious objector but an unmotivated objector. If I was in a war I could never kill. I would look at the other man and say kill me so I don't have to kill you. When one man kills another he kills a part of himself. No anger no fury no rage could make me do that to you or myself. They say those who are not afraid of death are not attached to life.

I know without knowing. I that am I. Go away from me. Relentless. Attach and drift. Drift and attach. A lack and a rift. A riff and a lass. It's not who you know. It's not what you know. It's how long you can hang on by your fingernails.
