Kith and kin

One day we all
Disappear
Into the bright lights
of heavens and earth
Till such time
I am indebted
to your company
and advice
To live, love
And enjoy
this beautiful
stream of joy
It is suffice

Voices

Stories I hear
far away and near
joys and fears
Foes and dears
of true belief
Branches, leaves
Wherever they fell
Epics they tell
Ingrained faiths
Unexpected deaths
Or expected ones
Fathers and sons
Defy the logic
Inexplicable magic
Odes tragic
Prolonged tales
Epic fails
Masts and sails
Roads and rails
Storms and hails
Cotton bales
Dirt and mud
Snow and flood
that rose bud
Marvellous stud
His run, a gale
fresh and stale
all stories are fine
Exquisite grape wine
they mature and excel
Trees do tell
when leaves pale
In rustling dales
whispers wonder
words asunder
King’s blunder
Loot and plunder
Conquerors tales
Trees do tell
stories, listen!

Shadow shouts on a sunny day

Let life define moods
Than moods define life
Standing in the sun
Thinking, thanking drive
which lead you to this place
Running away from
Greed’s unending race
Friends become foes
Increasing your woes
each passing moment
Hyperactive, super dormant
Don’t let instants define days
or days prescribe years
To know exactly
Who holds you dear
during troublesome time
some will spot opportunities
others un-bailable crime
In front to sublime
understand all the signs
wisdom has its days
mysterious unexpected ways
to talk to you

Branding

Recognising humans from what they wear
funny money they spend, consume and care
layers and layers, of incoherent importance
