Curse of the Gods

Curse of the Gods

Let the snow come from the north

Let the rain come from the east

The drought come in from the west

And the heat come from the south

I will stand in the storm

Never flinching at what it sends

I will raise my fist and challenge the gods

Do your worst while I laugh

I am not scared of what they can do

I will stand and oppose their will

I will curse them as the winds whip around

I will not weaken like they want me to

I will win the battle

And I will still be standing long after they are gone

Wet and cold and dry and hot

But I will still be there

Drawn to the Edge

Drawn to the Edge

Looking over the edge

I watch the water flow

I can hear her voice

Echoing through my mind

Filling my senses

She is calling me

Asking me to climb the fence

Wanting me to step out onto the rocks

She wants me to join her

Become one with her

She is drawing me

Pulling me into the turning water

I wanted to jump

Let the water carry me over the edge

I want to be held by such a beauty

I want to see the woman who calls to me

Who wants to be one with

I want to jump into her world

I want to love the Lady of the Mist 

The Spirit In My Room

The Spirit In My Room

Sitting alone at night

Watching the candle burn

So many words spoken

That can’t be heard

Can’t be understood

Shadows cross the room

Only seen in the corner of my eye

I know they are there

I have seen them so many times

Heard them crying over lost lives

They wander around me

Trapped in my room

No hope of ever leaving

I know they were someone to somebody

A mother, a father

A sister, a brother

Someone’s child who died too soon

Now they wander around me

Trying to let me know they are there

They want to say hello

I wish I could say hello to them

Invite them to sit with me and talk

I want to get to know them

And make them my friends

Forever

Forever

They tried to keep us apart

Said that we should never love

They didn’t know our feelings

How our hearts beat together

How we cannot live without each other

I told you our love was forever

That I wanted to look in your eyes

That I wanted you for all eternity

It didn’t matter what they say

What they do to us

We will be one person

One soul together forever

I will be with you for all time

That I promise

Fill The Ute

Fill The Ute

Let’s fill the Ute with ice

Stock it full of beer

Head into the bush

Have us a country party

Slim Dusty and James Blundell

Playing from my mate’s CD

We want to get drunk

Finish off a case of XXXX

And not regret one drop

Don’t anyone bring any Fosters

We won’t drink it

We all want to cuddle

With a home grown country girl

One we have never met

But one we all know

Maybe we will even fall in love

Tonight there are no worries

No thoughts about tomorrow

Only tonight matters

The beer, the music and the girls

Nothing could make life better

So, let’s fill the Ute will ice

Stock it full of beer

And enjoy living on this rock

Tonight, tomorrow will never come

As  long as we are having fun

I Want To Be President

I Want To Be President

I am a liar

I can never tell the truth

Only what you want to hear

I send classified mail to my home

Gmail is such a wonderful thing

I am a racist

Who will punish all for the actions of a few

I pretend like I know everything

If I don't know something I make it up

Even if doesn't mean anything

I’ll spend the money you give me

Millions of dollars

To travel around the country and bullshit you

You'll fall for everything I say because I said it

I have to do what I do

Say what I say just to get your vote

If I get it

I will promise you one thing

I will screw you every which way but loose

I will be the president

So why should I care

The Poetry of Everything

The Poetry of Everything

Everything has a poem hidden inside

Feelings that the world does not know

Stories that will never be told

Words that may never be read

We poets looks beyond the surface

To find the words hidden deep inside

We listen to what everything has to say

We share it all with the world

And through us everything has a voice
