I sliced.

Important, Importance is Important I say,

Imbued,         Embroiled in Independence I Dance,

Intoxicated, Isolated in Ignorance I am oblivious,


Idolatry,         Awash with power I procure hope,

Intuitive,         Knowing the answer intangibly fraught,

Institution, It lies Locked away with those who know they know,


Enamoured. Blindly in love with images of those around me,


Irrelevant, Alas missing the point and washed away,

Ir-repressive, Yet still I cling to the the bubbly surface spray,

Immovable, Holding on Ego full to the Importare idea.


I am. That I am.

Can we hear ?



Can you hear?
Steel on Steel,

Wood on Wood,

Stone on Stone,

The Waterfall,


Can you hear?

the Hand on Heart,

meeting Eye to Eye,

warm Feet on Sand,

the Kiss of Hello  - Goodbye?


Can you See?

a Head to Head,

a Toe to Toe,

men using Steel and Wood, 

against their Foe.


Grinding Earth into Dust,

Greed and Lust,

Want and Desire,

Passion and Plea,

Hearts all a Fire.


Can you feel?

An image - a sound? 

What melts your mind?

what sends your spirit soaring?

does your heart hear & see?

cannot wait


To Western Man 

Life a is a meal

in 7 course to partake

she is served life on a plate

Out of Control

As if our perceptions really mean

it’s In Control

Within the frame, 

time and Picture

within the bounds 


I had understood

With in me
