degeneration

the very essence of the planet
modified into a factory of the fetish,
anything and everything
into vehicles for desires
accept this
our nihilistic
self-destructive nature
weaving elaborate webs
of lies and self-deception
building bastions of beliefs
with no support
and no reason for following.

cracks

Ring the bells that still can ring.
Forget your perfect offering.
There is a crack in everything.
That's how the light gets in.

--Leonard Cohen

We are all flawed, but only in our flaws is His grace made perfect.

of cobwebs on the world wide web

i just logged on this afternoon - and it's been some time since i last blogged. i blame it on work - new office, on my new passion - my home and facebook.
made a new friend yesterday - and he blogs dilligently - on food, diving, cars and his dog, coco. and he got me started on berry chat! thanks jules.

wasted

wishes whispered to the wind
carried away unheard
messages boldly written
hidden then lost
my colours on canvas
i frowned upon
my art and song
i said was wrong
the stars within my palm
i cared not to see
dream wings clipped
before they could fly
and i laughed as i tried not to cry.

insomia

When I am with you, we stay up all night.
When you're not here, I can't go to sleep.
Praise God for these two insomnias!
And the difference between them.
