The World

Keen to revolve ad infinitum,
Gently spinning, or
Troubled dizzily out of control,
A child's toy,
A madman's dream of power and glory,
Battles scarred her precious skin,
Deep within her azure globe,
Something lethal stirs.

You have to have 'Been Seen'

Travel broadens the mind they say and ‘they’ are absolutely right. I love to travel and see some of the world’s exotic places in far flung destinations. There is so much to see and so many wonderful sights to behold. If I could I would do a lot more travelling but just popping over to Paris every now and then is a genuine thrill.

A few years ago I visited Hong Kong for a few days and that gave me a taste for Asia and I will definitely go back and explore China and South-East Asia in much more detail.

A great website for travellers everywhere is Been Seen which aims to be a fun as well as artistic website and also to establish a community of like-minded travellers who want to explore and share aesthetic and interesting travel experiences with each other.

Been Seen adopts a creative and visually artistic point of view when it comes to the concept of travel. It is all about searching out places that are remote and beautiful which reflect simple luxury.

Check out this wonderful website and experience a difference in where and how we travel.

Snapbomb!

I just found about a very interesting paid to blog site with the intriguing name Snapbomb. This looks like a very promising blog review site and I am happy to create a bit of a buzz for them. I always welcome a new paid to review site when one comes along. As far as I am concerned Snapbomb looks like it could really work well for both bloggers and advertisers.

Blog advertising can really do wonders for a product or a company’s service. The exposure provided by a good blog post cannot be underestimated. What I like about Snapbomb is the speed with which you can register with them. You then submit your blogs for appraisal and within seconds you receive an estimate of your blog’s value.

I think this could be a really good site for bloggers and advertisers looking for blog marketing. Good luck, Snapbomb!

Starlet

So eager, breathless,
She dances herself into a tiny frenzy
At the prospect of some measure of imagined fame.

The milkman had seen her picture
In the paper that held his cod and chips,
And she looked nice.

Much nicer than that piece of fish
And those soggy chips.

Day

Opening up like a wilful flower,
Nothing remains unseen by this light;
Awe-struck, emboldening,
Grasping life by the throat
And kissing its keen brow.

Advance

Walk among the happy few,
That breed of uncommon types
Who sneer at low-level atrophy,
And never stop breathing in
With all their might and never cease
Believing all may be achieved at last.

Be fair, advance and breathe!

Iphones and such

Technology is a wondrous thing that has indeed enhanced the lives of most of us. Can you imagine having to do without your email account or MP3 player or smart phone? Of course you would be able to do without these technological features but would you want to do that? I certainly would not and I don’t think many others would either.

Most people who are the proud owners of an iphone 2.0 would probably agree with me that the ease and comfort of their iphone is something that has changed their lives for the better and I would certainly be able to understand why they would feel that way.

There is a very useful iphone forum where you can discuss all manner of things relating to the apple iphone sdk so be sure to check it out. It really is a great forum to chat and discuss iphone sdk applications, general SDK topics and more.

It is well worth looking into. Have a go and see for yourself how this forum can be of use to you. You will find something of interest, I am sure!

Envelop

Creeps, the darkness advances,
entirely wraps itself around my freezing heart,
claw-cloaking to keep out the warmth and light
that yet pushes to reach.

Sleep Time

I rove and roam within my mind;
Awkward zomblie lust-filled mare,
Night digs in deep, deeper still,
And salvation is not close at hand.

I lie awake, dreaming light-beams,
Seemingly a sphere of radiance benign,
Dawns upon a sullen brow,
Too eager, too keen, yet far too old.

Water-clad

Dripping in dewy sunshine droplets
Honey-pearled, wisdom-reared
The creature dreams of dreaming clearly
Of all that it could be
One day, sometime, somewhere.

The river soothes, trickles gladness
Creatures dance and mingle, rock step along
Pools of mirror fantasy
Elongate the soul's pleasure.

The river is always there,
Is always coming,
And is always going away.

Cornerstone

Built my palace on your love for me
Dwelling to befit a divine couple
Of ordinary humans
Touched by a moment of love
And madness
Wrapped up in scrolls of exulted claims
To eternal love
Life unbound, unfettered
By life itself
Beyond it all and reaching even further
To where the grand mansion is located
On the edge, on the shelf
The ridge where we dare not linger.

The Valley

It lay bare and open that day
The words tumbled from our eager tongues
Pleasant whispers, elevated notions
Collided dreams, real-time infotainment
Too nice, too lovely to forget
Even then.

And later that day as evensong cleared
The words become touching
Whispers kisses
And nothing could turn back
The world was ours
And this night alone
We would live forever.

What I Believe

That a poem should be concise and not endless pages long,
And a word should uplift the weary soul, and then soothe.

That if you can you should go for a ride in a balloon,
And forget about what you think of your self altogether.

That the world is a wondrous and terrible place,
And life both beautiful and horrific.

That the intricate secret web of life itself is built upon paradox,
Or perhaps not.

Mountain Daze

Climbed to the peak,
Montserrat, mountain of the Black Madonna,
shrine of cliffs, roof of the world,
with Catalunya stretching out for hundreds of years all around.

While She, regal statuette, lodged high above the altar,
high above the world,
watches over us,
and weeps.

In Dutch

In the Dutch language,
all things seem clear,
and direct,
often brutishly blunt.

No room for prevarication,
or obfuscation, vaccilatory nuance.

They tell it like it is, you see,
Not as they wish it would be.
More refined, slightly more elegant.

Song for an Angel

Sing to me of distant loves,
of enchantress pining for a saviour,
of lectures unattended,
while the young maidens run free,
barefoot through dewy May fields,
in the same places we knew,
only centuries ago.

Vapour

I watched the olde-worldy train pull out
of the weather-beaten station.
Your suitcases and you were on board,
forever departing, and that's how you'll stay.

You left in summer, and the sunshine,
and the green grass and the clean crisp air,
All wanted to leave with you,
and the grime and dust remained.

And so did I.

Creeps

Shadows mark the hazy aura
Of what once was a thought.
That kiss, that pure emotion,
Our sense of needing, wanting bliss.

Now turned into afterthought,
Memory unwelcome,
That creeps us uninvited.
