Poet Introduction
I'm just sayin'...
rat race blues
the starters gun goes off again
and he scrambles to join the race
he's only been awake 3 minutes
and already fallen off the pace
his medicated mind is chanting
as he steps up to the line
loose lips sink ships a glasshouse chips
and a stitch in time saves nine
he's been circling his choices carefully of late
because he's feeling far too old
to be walking the same path over
with this blister on his soul
he holds his moor in the rising tide
and it gets him through the day
with his head in his hands he dreams for escape
...

founder of a stream
she is rain
heavens muse for rebirth
i am a stream
a vein collective
of her fluid strength
that spurs me down
the valley in the arms
of the mountains
she is my resource
in her sustenance lies
a depth of growth
that empowers change
she is not content
to let me be
she urges me to become
i will become
i am becoming
i am a river
heavens muse for rebirth
i am a stream
a vein collective
of her fluid strength
that spurs me down
the valley in the arms
of the mountains
she is my resource
in her sustenance lies
a depth of growth
that empowers change
she is not content
to let me be
she urges me to become
i will become
i am becoming
i am a river

faded
giving in is as easy as exhaling
so easy it makes me dizzy when i'm in a mood
to play with the thought
close my eyes
that little smile
relax the grip
tilt left
and let my whole being slide of my soul
so easy it makes me dizzy when i'm in a mood
to play with the thought
close my eyes
that little smile
relax the grip
tilt left
and let my whole being slide of my soul

i love extreme sports
I have skate boarded, wake boarded, snow boarded, snow ski'd, water ski'd, scuba dived, mountain climbed, abseiled, raced cars and bikes, martial arts, hunted and played with fire amongst others.
I've in turn received countless burns, stitches, bone breaks and traction, concussions and haemorrhage's, coma's, perforated eardrums, vertigo and black eyes, I've broken teeth, lost vision and suffered immense amounts of pain in general
Though every time I've smiled in cheerful recognition that these things are just inherent to playing the game, and that the high times are worth it...

What could I do?
I met an old man in the street. You could tell from a distance
that he was troubled. I asked him what was wrong, he looked
at me and smiled with such a sadly cynical twist and said,
"It doesn't matter mate, what are ya gonna do?"
After a short conversation we parted ways though he stuck
with me from there onwards.
I was still thinking about him when I arrived at the shops,
grabbed my milk and heard the customer before me having
a gripe about the young lads that had raced the old guy to the
last case of lager, all the while...

the truth about jack
jack be nimble
and jack be quick
but jack also dropped both tabs at once
and to be straight, no one other than jack has seen this, "candlestick"

my blind i
since first i fell aware
to share a thought to share affair
i found myself to be more stable on my feet
with lessons carried through
i felt i'd learned a thing or two
so i failed to plot a course for my defeat
i'd been prowling through the jungles
calling conquest and flushing game
in hopes of catching love birds or a dove
though...love, will not be hunted
so i set to drinking
the largest bottle...

the big speakeasy
It's your place to talk to me like shit
only your place to talk to me sweet
everyone else is just talking
only your place to talk to me sweet
everyone else is just talking

angel
in this moment all former stays of
comprehension wed evolution lines
unprepared i was walking dormant, now
my soliloquy of dreams bears her voice
void of thought this timeless vacuum draws my spirit
deep, into the vortex slipstream of heavens windows...
her eyes
oh, god!
i stand in state
lame to the fate of vertigo
could fear and want be one
would she plead the same
her existence provokes me..
with fire in my chest I gauntlet doubt
to speak now
or with fast stitches have lips...

fallacy burns
i failed to see the fallacy of a love
that's intertwined
i had kept myself available to the back
door of my mind
i was fighting with an ego as lust held
the inner rooms
this fallacy i refused to rate
has a legacy of ruins
with an honest will I set my task in
hope the love unwound
through smoke and ash i could not deny
the damage that i found
i can not bear my actions be the destruction
of honest trust
through ashen tears i fight the rising flames
lit by this fallacy of lust

through smoke and ash i could not deny
the damage that i found

of honest trust
through ashen tears i fight the rising flames

eaves overflow
wind breathes in my window
taking a little of my sanity as it leaves
with her ebb stems the flow
that keeps me stable under eaves
taking a little of my sanity as it leaves
with her ebb stems the flow
that keeps me stable under eaves
