Hunker Down

Volume 1: Motivational INNER STRENGTH 3rd July 2017 at 9.44pm I never quit, I never give up, I’ll go, to any length – To display, my intestinal fortitude, and Build, my inner strength. I love, to bewilder, the experts, That I’ve done, time and again – and reveal, A range, of qualities, that are absent, in other men. If at first, I don’t succeed, inevitably, I do – I will prevail, I can’t be stopped, I know, I’m one of the few. I won’t allow myself, to be daunted, By any challenge, that I face; When I can see, the finish line, I know, I’ll win, the race. I will not lose, my focus, for I always, find a way, To show, complete resilience, each and every day… SEEKING THE WAY 29th July 1996 at 2:17am Broken people, All around me, In my loungeroom, They surround me. They each know, What they require, To satisfy, Their life’s desire. Some a million, Some a mile, Some a woman Worth their while. In blurred existence, a blinding light, The inner strength, To win each fight. Upholding, what they know, is true, The self-belief, to see them through. Undefiant, Is the word, Resolute, and undeterred. We each take on our own direction, Create our pathway, to perfection. Our tower of strength, when we are weak, Our home we’ll find, The life we seek. We make the choices, every day, We know the risks, We know the way… Volume 2: Love FOREVER LOVE January 1991 As moonshine, lights, the evening sky, Her soul, breaks free, from heaven so high, Yet as I speak, still none can see, That death, can’t stop, her love for me... In my back yard, beside the sea, I can hear her, calling me, Her haunting cries, leave me awake, What sanity, can I forsake? I beg my eyes, to help erase, These pictures, of my lost love’s face… Each night, my photos, of her speak, Yet memories, I need not seek, As she appears, before my eyes, and Leaves me hearing, mournful cries… Each night, beside my bed, she stands, and Reaches out, to me, her hands, and Begs me come, to watch her fly, Underneath, a holy sky, and As I lean, to touch, her silken skin, My soul, departs, from deep within, For now, I know, I need not wait, For soon, we’ll knock, on heaven’s gate, and Once again, we will unite, Amidst our holy father’s light… SACRED NECTAR 1997 Once there was a creature, That brought me such delight- My own, enchanted, butterfly, Her colours, oh so bright. I was her sacred nectar- She lived, amongst my flowers, As I sat silent, captivated, Admiring her, for hours. Yet suddenly, quite suddenly, and For no apparent reason, My butterfly, would come no more, Despite, no change, in season. Still, I sat and waited, and I hoped, for her return… How I miss, my butterfly, Her colours, now, I yearn. Yet fly she did, far away, As far, as she could get; Catching, the eye, of many, Who were waiting, with their net. Now she’s trapped, on display, Her master’s whim, she’ll heed - My perfect, beautiful, butterfly, It seems, will never, be freed. I am the eternal, optimist; I guess you never know… She just may, come back one day, and Hopefully, never go. Her life on earth, or her death, Isn’t up to me, Mother nature, and I, it seems, Will have, to wait, and see… Volume 3: Patriotic LIFE IN AUSTRALIA 5th March 2017 at 11.04am There’s no reason, For us, to be upset – We live, in the great Down Under, That’s as good, as it could get… We wake up free, every day, Compared with so few, Where the life we live, Everyday, Will always, be decided, by you… We are so lucky, Compared to how, People live, in the Middle East, Here, behind bars, only criminals, Await, to be released… We embrace, justice, and freedom, and Nothing, can be greater; Knowing, that we’re not controlled, By a murderous dictator. I’m so proud, to be an Aussie, and I always will, Knowing each, and every, beautiful day, I’m sure, I’ll be loving, here still… MOMENT OF BLISS 13th April 2017 at 9.09am I love to go to the beach, alone at night, and sit, beneath the stars, Far away, from society, and the sound, of arguments, and cars. Instead, I hear, the soothing sound, of waves breaking, on the shore; It’s a moment, of tranquillity, and how could, I want for more? Scenic perfection surrounds me, when I sit on my favourite sand dune – Filled with inspiration, beneath, a beautiful, bright, full moon… When I’m there, I’m in paradise, and that’s a memory, of a moment, of bliss – So until I go back, the next time, it’s a spot, that undoubtedly, I’ll miss. Eventually, I go back home, and from the moment, I close my door, I wonder, when I’ll go back, to the beach, to the place, that I couldn’t love more… Volume 4: Miscellaneous THE WRATH OF IKARGON 1989 The giant beast, in slumber, no more, Wakened, from his eternal sleep, From the hand, of the gods almighty, The beast, of blood takes flight, Screeching, rage in herald, Of the creature, whom he seeks Relentless fury, unbounded, Prayers, would go unanswered, As Christ, looked on in shame, His masterpiece ignited, As the wrath, of Ikargon had begun. Eyes ablaze with fire, As he set the Earth alight, No sin, would go, unpunished, In the world, on which he ruled. No man, nor beast, defy him, On his immortal, throne of evil, Darkness, fell forever, As the sun, would rise, no more… A millennium, of anarchy, As chaos, ruled the Earth. Burning flesh, the stench of death, Wings…wings of blood lit up the sky, and Nothing ever slept, Whilst Ikargon screeched, a timeless laugh of scorn, Hatred reigned never ending, As the Earth succumbed, To the might of the beast…
