Posted: 1/30/2005 5:28:16 PM | Hi
I thought the Mountain City and RiverS would have sent you straight there
Chongqing
Mountain City of the Two rivers
Great place with the most beautiful women in Asia there
Very badly polluted but such an atmosphere of Life and Vitality
Im an importer so I dont actually work
Just travel round and buy stuff [really hard life]
My Mandarin is still very very basic
I was accidently insulting people by misinterpreting etc
So I tend to avoid using it
Spent a bit of time in your area helping with problems in the prawn farms there
My Australian home is in what most people consider paradise
But I dont feel at home here anymore
My heart is in Asia
Four more weeks and I can go back YEEHAA | |

Posted: 1/30/2005 11:18:39 PM | I've travelled through your country now for many many years
Watched the changes coming ... with all its hopes and fears
Felt the exuberance of Shanghai in all its fancy ways
Spent summer up in Wiehai, Long hot summer days
Wandered down to Yunnan, to Kunming and to more
To the Old City of Xi'an to try and find the score
The reasons for the smiles in everybodies eyes
Though life was hard you seldom heard even a babies cries
In Guangzhou you made me welcome, but I didnt feel at home
Ulan Bator to the North.... the Huns ancestral home
Slowly I kept moving West to find the place for me
Really I was just Travelling, because I love the Sea
And then I came upon a place with no appeal to me
Mountainous and Polluted but full of Energy
The poeple there welcomed me.. took me with open arms
Slowly then but surely...the city bared her charms
When I gaze into the sky at night I cannot see the moon
And sometimes even Sister Sun is hidden by the gloom
But the spirit of the people... is way beyond compare
That is why.. far from the Sea... my home will soon be there | |

Posted: 1/31/2005 6:30:00 PM | Welcome back
Ok then its been a while so lets go digging in my mind
And when we look What will we find?
Maybe we’ll find emptiness
Its up to you Can you guess?
Have you ever looked in wonder at the bottom of the sea
Its like another world down there It’s where I love to be
You glide across the kelp beds The current takes you there
You watch your bubbles rising back up to the air
You gaze into a crevice as dark as night can be
But as your eyes adjust… you begin to see
The waving of the feelers of a lobster in the dark
The flicker of the tail of a shy old gummy shark
And suddenly a presence you begin to feel
And you look with awe and wonder at a lovely moray eel
He is looking straight at you, and showing off his teeth
But only cause your in his home… he doesn’t want to eat
So you leave him doing eely things and quietly back away
You will go back to feed him… but maybe not today
You skirt an abalone bed where no-one else has been
Stick a couple in your bag….. really nice for tea
The current starts to weaken as the tide is nearly full
So you work you way steadily into the glory hole
For here the currents still at the changes of the tide
This is where the big fish come to live and die
The mullet near the surface are shimmering in fright
Below them are the predators … such an awesome sight
The Trevally and the Kingfish are moving just below
And every now and then one will have a go
You hardly see the movement It’s faster than your eyes
You barely see the flash of scales as another mullet dies
The colours of the fish …. are changing as they feed
The Hunt the Excitement the Wanting and the Need
You’re lying on the bottom trying not move
For now the larger predators are coming to the room
The Jewfish and the Grouper are cleaning up the snacks
And here come the Bronze Whalers they only come in packs
You feel your heartbeat quicken … its time to leave this place
For you are in another world…. you cannot win this race
So you let the current take you and slide out of the hole
But know that you have left behind a small part of your soul
If you liked this we’ll go diving along a coral reef
For there you see true wonders .. Far beyond belief | |

A rose of black –it always seems
to come and enter in my dreams
The stem is red ---the leaves are blue
the petals black---I dream of you
In dry and barren earth it grows
this strange and mystic wild black rose
A rose like no’ones ever known
and from pure love this rose has grown | |

In a world thats a mirage formed by ever changing sand
I AM
I LOOK
I SEEK
I HUNGER
I HUNT
I am Or am I
Is it really me who is here?
Or who I wish I was
I look Glancing back and forth
No set rhyme or reason
Just because I can
I seek that which can only be found by not looking
I hunt that which I had once and lost
Or the fantacy of which I dream
To see me
Find a mirror | |

Posted: 2/2/2005 2:37:06 AM | The Storm
The Kookaburra’s laugh still lingered in the air
Hot and heavy felt the pressure in a baleful atmosphere
The dog lay on the porch …. Listless in the shade
The water like a mirror… right across the bay
Beneath the setting sun the world now held its breath
Maybe the heat would go away when the sun was laid to rest
But still the air grew thicker… to make it hard to breathe
The gum trees in the corner began to drop their leaves
The Storm God looked around him and said, “It’s time to play”
And so he brought his game down to us that hot and sultry day
A slight shiver on the water .. a movement on the bay
The first clear indication that something was on the way
From the mountains in the distance beside the setting sun
The first grey chariots of cloud set into a run
Darkness dropped upon us as they blotted out the sun
Then Thunder in the distance … the Storm God had begun
A roiling twisting mass of cloud descended on the plain
Spreading quickly everywhere without a hint of rain
The gum trees in the corner just seemed to come alive
As the first quick gusts of wind started to arrive
The branches on these trees now begin to heave
As they realise too late …this is no summer breeze
The Bay no longer mirror but instead a churning mess
The Storm God in his element…. Master of this chess
His battalions marching onward “ Forward to the sea
Lightning Flash and Thunder Roar .. On with ecstasy”
The Darkness comes alive as the Lightning touches ground
With the Roaring of the Thunder you hear no other sound
The Lightning now from East to West Emblazoning the sky
Daggers of Light from left to right without a reason why
The Storm Gods getting angry now The Wind begins to howl
And you can hear within it the screaming of lost souls
The shutters on the windows are begging to be freed
The house itself just feels alive.. As if it too can breathe
The Storm has reached the sea and begins to dissipate
With lightning strikes much fewer now as if it’s all too late
Next the sounds of silence Then the healing rain
And a whisper from the distance “I will be back again”
I LOVE Storms
Something so Energising about them | |

Your friends have turned around to you and said “Lets have a spin
We’ve all been working hard today lets go and have a swim”
So you think about it really fast and say what’s on your mind
“Instead of going swimming Let’s go for a dive”
Wander to the boat and check over the gear
The ‘lungs are full and so’s the tank Davo’s got the beer
Batteries in the torches “Lets go out through the Heads
Are we heading for the Wreck? No To the cay instead”
Darkness falling quickly But tonight there’ll be a moon
We need some light to save us from the all-surrounding gloom
On the dash I hit the button GPS and sounder come alive
We’ll need them in the shallows If we’re going to survive
Phosphorescence in our wake heading back to shore
The lights growing dimmer ‘til we can’t see them no more
Heading through the gap Out to the outer reef
We can really feel the movement in the deck below our feet
The GPS gives it’s shrill bark to tell us we are there
Alone on sullen ocean waves far from those who care
Silence for a moment as we breathe the feeling in
Quick goose bumps of rapid fear showing on our skin
Then someone says “Lets go” And the moments gone away
But we know it will be waiting Until another day
Sitting on the gunwale with your back against the sea
Waiting for the moment The one that sets you free
A quick back flip and suddenly you’re in another world
You cannot see where’s up or down Everything just whirls
Clean air through your mouthpiece Torch is working fine
Relief flows through your system Just in the nick of time
Now you drift on downwards adjusting as you go
You put your mind into the place to enjoy the show
A gentle flick of flippers swings you to your right
What was that that flickered there? Just on the edge of light
Your world is now inside what you can see quite clear
About three metres to your front And nothing to your rear
You gaze towards the surface and see a silver glow
The moon is watching after you All the way below
A wall of coral bursting, with colours never seen
Before on Earth by living man, except for in his dreams
A glowing changing mass, of polyps in the night
Pure brilliance for a moment Then disappear from sight
Lightning bursts of colours as fish are flashing by
Some of them just sit quite still as though they’re mesmerised
The patterns on the moray eels are pure and very clear
The lobster stares straight at you Fixated by his fear
Everywhere you look there’s something new to see
Encapsulated in your world of just those metres three
Time flashes by in moments and soon your hour has passed
And you must return upwards before you breathe your last
So you follow as you bubbles expand before your eyes
And say “Goodbye to Heaven Welcome back to life”
If you have never done it
Put it on your list of things to do | |

Posted: 2/4/2005 5:50:06 AM | I walk along an empty street and Darkness called my name
I look around ... But no-one's there..Yet still the voices came
Voices from the emptiness From the void ahead
Voices from the deep beyond ...Voices in my head
Touching...Weaving ....Spinning ...leaving patterns in their wake
Taking pieces of my mind though the're not theirs to take
Reaching past my conscious thoughts.. to the twisted mess below
Delving far into the depths where even I wont go
Digging for the answers they know are buried there
Voraciously they feed on me as if they just dont care
Dragging up the memories of whats been left behind
Sifting through the debris in the gutters of my mind
People coming closer just turn and walk away
They see the madness in my eyes and know they shouldnt stay
Now the voices fading ... they've had their fun with me
They'll go and find somebody else.. in another lonely street
Sweet dreams everyone | |

Welcome back into my world
Where shall we go? What shall we find?
Maybe I’ll leave you to guess
Just what’s growing in my mind
Maybe we’ll remember times
When all our lives seemed crystal clear
And we were full of love of life
Before we ever heard of fear
Can you remember your first love?
Can you remember how you felt?
Remember how your heart was dry
‘Til in their arms you were held
Think of how you longed and waited
Seeking that first kiss
And when it was the time for it
Your lips just seemed to miss
Remember your first touch
And the way you felt inside
That wondrous feeling way down deep
The hint of butterflies
And then the time they came
From the touching of your hand
You were in another world
In Never-never Land
All these things are still out there
Just waiting for us all
They may have changed our ages
But they cannot change our souls

Posted: 2/8/2005 6:28:34 PM | Moonlight Serenade
Walking up the Mountain very late at night
Going to my Special Place in the Moons cool light
It’s getting late in Autumn …. The air is Fresh and Still
No one ever goes there … perhaps they never will
Diana, Goddess of the moon is showing her full Face
Surrounded by the silence … Of humans not a trace
Looking at the Silver light reflecting cross the Bay
Islands in the distance are clear as if by Day
Sepulchral, the Gum Tree holds its arms up to the Moon
In silhouette like its pleading …. “Give an answer soon”
Movement in the clearing …. A Fox is hunting there
Bandicoots Opossums and Rabbits should Beware
Suddenly a Sound ………. A quick intake of Air
A twist … a look down to the Fox … but he has disappeared
Yet the animals all know me .. of me they have no fear
It only has one meaning ….. Someone else is here
Looking hard and steadily for who would dare to come
Up unto MY Special Place when there is no Sun
Blackness moves in Blackness in the Shadows ‘neath the trees
But I have been a Hunter so they cannot hide from me
She’s gazing at Diana …… Still yet full of Life
A look of Awe and Wonder reflected in her eyes
“I know this is your Special Place.. Of this I am aware
I’ve waited here since Daytime for you to appear”
Slowly she turned around .. her fingers to her lips
Motion me to Silence .. Then beckon for a kiss
Who is this that ventured, … into my Special Place?
I do not know for Never, have I Ever seen her Face
Silently she led me into the clearing grass
Silently she mimed “Lets see what comes to pass”
Silently she motioned, for me to just lie down
Silently she turned away … began to dance around
Dancing in the Moonlight .. completely dressed in Black
Dancing .. Moving .. Weaving .. to the Moon God’s Silent track
Dancing to the Goddess as white starts to appear
Dancing as she strips, to free her skin up to the air
Motions with her arms for me to Dance with her
Motions with a crooked smile for me to shed my gear
Motions me to follow as we Dance into the Night
Motions with her outstretched arms … that I am doing right
Seeing the Wonder in my eyes she pauses .. looks at me
See the Magic in Her eyes .. there to set me free
See Diana looking down … a Smile now on her face
Seeing in a new light … My very Special Place
Feeling as her body reveals itself to me
Feeling the Emotions .. so wild and yet so free
Feeling that there’s Magic riding through the night
Feeling now and Knowing that this is what is Right
Touching .. Gently Stroking as we dance under the Stars
Touching in the Moonlight .. in each others arms
Touching .. in a way that I’ve never felt before
Touching … Gently Touching …. Crying out for more
Kissing outstretched fingers … A tingle starting there
Kissing naked shoulders before they disappear
Kissing upraised nipples as raised and hard as glass
Kissing as we slowly lie down onto the grass
Licking … Kissing earlobes that present themselves to me
Licking every part of her … from head down to her feet
Licking at her navel and knowing she Wants more
Licking at her hidden lips right into her Core
Feeding on each other …. To bring each other Bliss
Feeding as she screams “It’s never been like this”
Feeding as her body begins to shake and now
Feeding as Orgasms give her skin a glow
Moving as she opens herself right up for me
Moving as we move like the waves upon the Sea
Moving .. Gently moving deep inside her Core
Moving pulling me inside, begging me for more
Panting as she rains kisses on my face
Panting as I come deep inside her place
Panting as she also comes to feel me come in there
Panting in the Afterglow of Love beyond compare
Lying in each others arms Holding oh so tight
Lying with each other ..because we Know its right
Lying as Diana bathes us both with Light
Lying ‘til the Dawn says goodbye to Night
Wonder in her eyes as she looks around to me
Wonder why the Moonlight came to set us free
Wonder in my face as she turns to walk away
Wonder just what I can do .. To try to make her stay
Questions as I try to find out who She was
Questions for her business card’s a number that was lost
Questions as I wait in my Special Place again
Questions only answered when the Moon shines bright and clear

If it's going to survive
Send me back your input
And I'll keep it Alive
You're input sends me messages
that etch into my mind
and if I have the right words there
Who knows what we will find
So send me your emotions
Tell me what you feel
and if I have the words inside
I'll try to make it real
My mind is boiling over
With words as yet unsaid
and its better that their writen down
Not left inside my head
Nobody seems to comment much in here
A little bit of input would be wonderful
These Forums are great FUN

Posted: 2/12/2005 2:10:15 AM | Drinking Alone with the Moon
I wandered in the Garden beneath a Silver Moon
Silence my Companion … The roses were in Bloom
So where were all my friends, when I needed Company
They had left me to my Bottle .. The only one with me
And as I raised my bottle, the Moon shone bright and clear
So I begged her in my Drunken state “Moon Please come down here”
But she could not drink with me, and so she sent a friend
Before me was my Shadow, and he stayed “til the end
And as I sang it seemed, the Moon shone brighter yet
And as I danced, my Shadow followed like a pet
Made for each other… so it seemed to be
A glowing Silver Moon …a Shadow …. And Me
The Bottle growing lighter, as the contents disappear
And because I’m lying down, no Shadow can appear
Drunkenly I realise the Moon no longer glows
But I cannot really tell… My eyelids now are closed
So All my True companions, have now forsaken me
As I slumber in the Garden, in the City, by the Sea
I hope a famous Chinese Poet will forgive for Borrowing his Idea | |

Posted: 2/13/2005 10:27:07 PM | FIRST NIGHT
The first night that I saw her, was at a small Hotel
Dancing as the band played…..Oh she danced so well
Usually I’d be there….dancing on the floor
Tonight I only watched…..Waiting by the door
Watched her movements flowing, from her fingers to her feet
Watching as she seemed to find, some unearthly beat
Watching as the band stopped, and she continued on
Watching as her style changed, to meet her hidden song
Watching as she exorcised, her demons with her dance
Watching as others tried but didn’t have a chance
Watching as she forced, the band to chase her moves
Watching in silence, for she was in the groove
I saw her drink, then drink again. And still she drank some more
But every time the band played…. She was on the floor
She danced like she was far away….In another world
That first night I knew…. That she would be my girl
So I moved up to dance with her…..Yes we fitted right
And then I saw the wedding ring,….. On her finger tight
So we danced another dance,… then I whispered good bye
And left before she saw the tear… welling in my eye
So I did the decent thing…. The thing I felt was right
Left her and her wedding ring, alone on that first night
Shall I continue this??????????????????????
Its all up to you | |

Posted: 2/15/2005 11:21:37 PM | I have never called you Pretty, as Pretty is defined
But to me, you are Beautiful, for that’s a state of mind
All the time I’ve known you, you are both to me
As priceless as a butterfly, or deer that’s running free
As wonderful as Sunrise, in all its changing ways
As gorgeous as the Sunset. on long hot Summer Days
I can still remember well, the first time that we kissed
Was like the very angels, surrounded us in bliss
Remember all the nervousness, the first time we made love?
And how we cuddled afterwards, like two cooing doves
Now it has been many years, Many things have changed
But I know you, You know me, Our Love still remains
I left this until after Valentines Day to post
Simply because why should we only express our love on One Day | |

Posted: 2/17/2005 3:18:33 AM | Sitting with a bottle, there beside me as I write
The bottles my companion, on this long and lonely night
It never used to be this way. .... I cant remember when
he became my sole companion..... and I lost all my friends
I know that once I lived a life, like everybody else
A Wife and Kids, A job.... but then I pleased myself
Maybe it was pressure, of work turned me this way
Maybe it was anything...... I can't rightly say
I know the way you look at me, when you see me in the street
But I don't care,... for really,... my life is quite complete
I do not care for fancy clothes, or lovely Diamond rings
But I do care for my Bottle..... He brings many things
He can bring Oblivion..... He can bring me Bliss
He can bring me Warmth, On cold nights such as this
So I do not want your tears.... nor need your sympathy
But if you have five Dollars ... I'll take it gratefully
For I know that in the morning, the demons will be there
I'll need another bottle,...... to make them disappear | |

Posted: 2/17/2005 8:46:56 PM | Lots of people visit now.... Seems there's more each day
But no-one wants to comment.... Do I frighten you away?
For you drop in to visit..... To see what's in my head
But maybe it's a scary thing.... It's what in yours instead
I will write on anything.... Of that I'm not ashamed
So give me your emotions..... and let me play the game
A little hint on what you'd like, is all that is required
Afterwards, you can read, just how I was inspired | |

Posted: 2/17/2005 9:19:51 PM | You, kind sir, are the master of the game
I wish, one day, that I can be the same
Choosing every word as if a juicy grape
Painting a picture divine - a choice landscape
The bottle now is just a glimpse...of what is to come
If I travel further still...on the road that I am from
Without the chance of filling...any choice desires
When right there may be...the deep and raging fires
Keep up the writes...you have a fan for life
You can pen out anything....from happiness to strife
And where the inspiration comes...it really is just flashes
A spark of thought that washes over...a wave that simply crashes.

Posted: 2/21/2005 4:08:03 AM | this was wandering around in my head as i did my mail delivery......
An evil princess and a timeless dragon sitting beside a lake
she lifts her head in contentment and whispers "i am yours to take"
she lays her head back down on his belly, not a whisper of fear to see
"yes my dear one" he intones gravely, "you were made to walk with me"
"my breath of fire, my scary facade, things meant to scare you away
are things that you don't seem to see as you sit with me each day"
"dear heart", she replied, "it is because of these things that I remain
as your breath does not scald me, your facade is magestic, and your nature tame"
Side by side they stayed for awhile, content to bask in the light of dawn
as complete in themselves and also in each other as the days are long | |
