As a taster, here is an excerpt of two poems entitled ‘Turmoil’ and ‘Listen’
Turmoil
A sea-wall is built slowly at an easy pace
For one of these days will need to stop the flow
For which we are so needy to sow
The current of turbulence
And learn to be abstain
Of thoughts that bring us much disdain
Tis true we don’t intend
To oblige ourselves in this way
So stop the forced current, I say
And bless the time of day
Listen:
Be like waves which crash on the jetty
Washing all our impurities away
Waves like a crescent curtain
Dangling in its fringes
Unearthing sunken precious stones
Hurling them up above the elevation
Hanging on dear life right ahead
Waves that don’t crush us because we wish it
