In Writing Your Poem
Rising To The Surface
Crying from the depths
Life can be suffocating
Epic struggles
Seem incapacitating
Tricky to handle
At times…
Through patience and will
Our thoughts they climb
Rising to the surface
Building strength
Arms in the air
Fists clenched
Courage the staple
Willing yourself through
Rewards are a plenty
All the while, you grew
Take from this
All you can learn
Reap the benefits
From all that you earn

Contemplative Will
Contemplative moves
Contemplating self
The players deny
Any offers of help
Locked in a battle
Of wits with a friend
Two players duel
And contemplate the end
Strategies imparted
Strategies rebuked
This day’s win
Will be no fluke
Eye contact minimal
Nothing is given away
Piece for piece traded
Nothing stands in their way
All eyes on the duo
Patience unbending
As each of them seeks
The perfect of endings
On this overcast day
In the middle of the park
These two will keep duelling
Till well after dark
When the match has concluded
Shake hands, yes they will
Until they next meet
To get their ‘Chess thrill!’

‘Morning Pages’
Morning Pages
Are a treat
A chance for you
To press ‘delete’
Stream of consciousness
Is the goal
Writing from within
The deepest of Souls
Clearing the mind
Is what it achieves
Wearing your Heart
On it’s sleeve
At the conclusion
Pen and paper retired
Your brain is now
So unwired
Free to create
Without the clutter
Creative thoughts now
You can utter

Into The Distance
Into the distance
Our mind forecasts
Better things
Than in times past
Working hard
Change the tune
Thinking smart
Toward that fortune
Restless Spirit
Needs reassuring
Imagination
Quite alluring
Focus required
Plans in place
Steady as she goes
Still in the race!

Steel Dinosaur
Majestically it rises
The steel dinosaur
It creeps into the sky
Just look at how it soars!
Filled with tiny beings
Going about their day
Working so hard and long
To derive their extra pay
Shining in the Sun
An architectural marvel
A testament to the powers
Of the human carnival
A beacon to all mankind
Ambition of the highest order
The planner, the builder
Mankind the steel embroider
Majestically it rises
The steel dinosaur
It creeps into the sky
Just look at how it soars!

Remnants Of Life
Riding along the highway
Desert clouds loom
Out from the horizon
Hear the thunder boom!
Rain, it falls
Like sheets of glass
Tearing across
Long dried out grass
Ghostly calls are heard
Long borne in strife
Clamouring for attention
Mere remnants of life
Rising from the Earth
Those next in line
Continue their journey
An infinite paradigm…
