		<description><![CDATA[The creature shakes festering water
all over the art house
Carved equine harmony ruins
now
fit for the knackers yard
Skin too smooth
no flex or muscle movement
The jewels were all gone
its eyes removed
Cool handed double breasted veneer
raking coals over breaking ice

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m fully devoured by hate,
My mind has been brought to stagnation,
It&#8217;s my unconceivable fate
To get slightly less estimation
Than sluts in a changeable guise
Or fools wasting time on careers.
Well, who is the one to despise:
A poet or one of those peers?
They fear the joys of today,
They fear the freedom addiction,
And I have no words left to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Love is a Story
It seems incredible now but once I was in love,
inflamed blood rushed thru my veins threatened
to drown my heart in sweet delusions, but we
both agreed, at the time, that never in the history
of man had anyone loved as us.
Summer nights are not for sleeping tired I was
when October came with cold, sober [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Summer in Lisbon
In the gentle Lisboetic night the old Heavenly Basilica
shimmered above ground, a white mirage of satin.
Across the road, in the garden of a thousand stars,
park benches, under ancient trees, smoked cigarettes
that glowed as fireflies when lovers embraced.
Sweet scented murmur kissed the moon.

		<description><![CDATA[The Quickening 
Upstairs, the tide slapping sound of laughter and music
became a din, small cubicles, pink light and creaking bedsprings
and it reeked of beer belching men and perfumed women.
Angry gull like shrieks from cubicle five a customer had fallen
asleep occupying much needed space. Two bouncers came and
carried the sleeping one down to his friends in [...]]]></description>

Always wanting to know everything that goes on,
it doesn&#8217;t matter what your doing he&#8217;ll soon be along,
my little man, there&#8217;s no escaping him.
As I explain to him, I see the fascination in his eyes
he gets a little excited, then his cheesy smile,
Pondering over what I&#8217;ve said he comes up and tugs my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A child stands alone
Amidst the remains of his family
The streets littered with bodies of his brothers
A down right human tragedy
A woman mourns the death of her son
The death of her husband and brother
In a war that makes no sense
A war like no other
A solder buries his best mate
A random stone marks his grave
No big ceremony
No [...]]]></description>

A dedication to mariners lost at sea
SHADOWLESS SEA
Manukau loose your tethered painter:
just one more time for me
slap your polished belly
upon this belligerent sea.
Manukau let your bow plunge:
to gulp the cooling liquor
that slakes your wicked thirst
that swells your kauri lungs
Rise up brave Manukau:
to taste [...]]]></description>
