The Lost Heart (2007)

the lost heart roams deserted highways in the night, searching for a place to call its home ’cause the places it has known are all but lost, all but lost. the lost heart sings to silent airwaves and the frequencies bounce off his lover’s head. calling out, calling out “if you need me, if you […]

in-midst of a musical fit

exhausting creative wick

lately wondering if i’ve been wasting time how fine, the balance of fun and fruition pardon and perseverance tripping from europe’s december-winter back into the homely sun to find a brightness continued into australian winter’s months and then i wonder; “have i no time for introspection?” a year of creation, production but no reflection? guess […]

wrapped bullets in feathers [writings]

people said they came here for blood, but i know it was me they were after. pitched high-up in the trees, the gaze of the summernight owls pierced their cotton-cased plight to reveal the real agenda with the year’s teachings learned now as ammunition charged and ready to blow i’ll hold my fire; wait in […]
