Anzac Day

The day we are all

supposed to give thanks

to all those guys

who charged off to war

and got slaughtered

in a failed invasion 

on an obscure Turkish beach

100 years ago

that somehow created

modern Australia.

What Do I Do?

He told me

That he admired me

For all the things I do,

Just when I felt

I was the laziest

person on earth.

Encroaching On My Bliss

Slow down she called out

As I drove passed in my car

I think she even raised a fist

What did she think I was going to do?

Of what was she so scared?

Or was I just encroaching on her bliss?

 

Held From Breathing

I’ve never tried to hold someone from breathing

Cause there is nothing stronger than a dream shared

I’ve never been afraid of my lover thinking

There is love to be found in wants that are paired.

I Love You

I love you,

Sitting on the floor with your electrical wires

Concentration etched across your face

The latest project you are fascinated with

In your clever hands

And soon you will be done

And you will have a thing where there was no thing before

And you’ll be very pleased

That it works the way it should

You showing me just how,

And I’ll love you even more
