It takes little effort to live a life just breathing, but it takes a true heart to know to take the harder road, just to see more, to feel more, to experience more. Chris is someone who knows how to do that; he sees beyond the surface of life and tries to balance it as best as he can, sometimes putting it down in the most extraordinarily beautiful words of poetry.
Have knights been extinct? Hmmmm, no. Not completely. There is at least one still alive and that is this man. Chris honestly tries his best to be his best while staying humble in life's eyes. He knows the fine line between it all.
Personally though, I see him as my own private angel. I cannot look at him without seeing wings in my mind's eye. He has taught me so much within a short period of time and he has opened up a new pathway for me to explore, from which I might have been blind otherwise. I am truly blessed for having him in my life and I have been as privileged as to have met him in real life too.
Many people are an individual, but few are such a true rarity as this beautiful soul. A manly man on the outside, but soft as liquid caramel on the inside... Flavoured with a little bit of spices of course... ;)

I cherish Chris, and he is one of a kind.
He's a Master of creating beautiful imagery through words and takes one places in the minds eye. While he may think of himself as moody,..I think more of him as a mystery,..a sweet mystery indeed, and a Lord in his own right.
Chris is truly a wonderful friend!

Call the man above,
Tell him to turn the lights down low.
Bring up the stars, shine on again this happy moon
It's your face that makes me smile
Sets my hands to tremble
All good things now come in threes
Seems to fit my love of Trinity
Through mountain highs
My love has spun
Calling birds and hearts to sing as one
And I'll speak to you
(Keep my voice down low)
Through foreign words and lands
Across this world times two...

And how it is that I love her,
Pervading every thought and gesture.
Sweet sonnets shall I read her
Under trees and starry skies
This day and ever more
Will she occupy my humble heart
No longer will I seek to quench my thirst
In pages heavy in golden dreams
These very dreams now present and breathing
When two hungry hearts beat as one.

My stomach is churning,
It's a long drive home
No need or want for food
Without you, my taste has gone
An oversight while in love's distraction
I'm not as smart as you'd have me be
And oh, I'll tear myself inside out
All the things I should've said
It's not enough, but then one too many
And all for love, blind and blinkered
Your face, the only thing
I've been dreaming and asleep at the wheel
And it's tearing me apart,
Far more than I can say.
My stomach is churning,
It's a long drive home.

Here we all are
Walking around in our own little worlds
Just hoping someone else will walk our way
They're all counting ones and twos
While we're seven and nine
It's a funny thing to be out of step
But I've never followed a trend
So here we are,
We're walking in the same direction
You caught my eye
You pulled me in
Next thing, we're hand in hand
Laughing at Koalas
Saluting invisible judges on a rooftop.
Don't you think there's a story here
Waiting to be told
It's Carnivale and Covent Garden
And those mystic funny trees
And here we are,
Laughing at the world
All their ones and twos
Are duller than a wet weekend...
...We've got Carnivale and Koalas...

Moving.
Arms linked.
Soft whispers.
Thoughts,
Wishes,
Dreams.
Take me in as I breathe your spirit slowly.
In the knowing heart these moments set aside
Your kiss, lingering on my neck
Your face, touched by this shaking hand
Moved.
Arms linked.
Soft whispers.
Thoughts,
Wishes,
Reality.
Hold me close as we breathe in eucalyptus
In the knowing heart of yours and mine
My kiss, brushing upon your lips
My face, touched by angels wings.
Walking.
Arms linked.
Soft Whispers.
Thoughts,
Wishes,
Dreams in to action.

Blue angel
He waits for her,
Anticipates her,
And in the darkened room
With light reflected upon his face
She sees eyes that feel
And feels the eyes that look deep within her heart.
Blue angel
Face awash in colours
He has waited,
Anticipated,
Her arrival in a darkened room
His pleasure reflected
Deep within her heart.

A man of many words,
Speechless in reflection
All she is, a gift in nature
And what great reward as he rolls the dice
Breathless and dizzy from the angels kiss
There's nothing to question,
All is right as time's function is lost
Drawn in and swimming free in ice blue eyes -
Her hair the colour of Autumn fire.
Counting steps and heartbeats in this "pas de deux"
My body melting within the ivy of her form -
Entwined, encompassing,
All earthly wishes true.

And so to sleep,
In dreams lifted by music
Celestial chords and "Somewhere in time"
In waking I'm drawn within
All these notes spilling out on pages
What might I do,
But capture the sound in pictures,
The metronome as a firefly in a jar.
The sparks of happiness,
Floating skyward on this dark night.
And there you sit,
My newest but oldest friend,
Playing zeros and ones from a spinning disc,
Celestial chords and "Somewhere in time".

In all pervading thoughts and wishes
A constant knowing
My closest friend, lover and provocateur
See the earnest look deep within my eyes
There's nothing to chance
All is well and good
Every page digested
Not a word unloved.
I'll not aspire to greatness
For greatness is to be humble to the gift of life
And I am all but a fleeting moment in time
Like dust in the wind, my heart scattered
In reverence, devotion and solitude
But never once will I, will you
Walk this path alone in love.

She paints me in muted colours,
Ashes and umber
Smeared features and cobalt eyes.
I'm left to wonder
No answers in the wash of linseed,
Just a fine brush and palette
Feel the strokes upon my thirsty skin.
Paint me in any form,
Tell my story in treatments
Disrobing gestures
Beyond all control.
Ashes and umber,
Smeared charcoal upon my face
She paints my secrets
For the world to see.

These are the days of our lives,
Oh yes, these are the very days of our lives
And it tears me up inside
How the minutes are wasted
We could be, we should be living
So much wasted time
So many sighs and silent tears
We keep it all inside
Don't you know,
I want to hear your thoughts
I want to climb inside
And taste your thoughts and feelings
What I wouldn't give
To walk a mile in your shoes
Just to be living,
Just to know.
And here we are,
Wasting precious time,
Time better spent together
Under gracious trees
And sprawling skies
The taste of your thoughts and smile
Bursting my heart of hearts
I just want to hold you
'Till all this wasted time
Has been repaid.
These are the days of our lives,
These are the very days of our lives.

Armed with Tolstoi and cigarettes
I wandered into a cloud of music -
Herb Alpert playing his "Whipped Creme"
At the "Bon Chambre" cafe.
She was poured deep inside a thick black book
Raven hair to compliment the look.
"What took you so long?",
She said, without so much as an upward glance
Surprised and disarmed, I muttered a lame excuse,
Though I'd never met her...
...Didn't know I was expected.
"Help yourself...You know what to do. ",
She continued on, still deep inside the book.
Still amazed, but somewhat calm,
I sauntered behind the counter,
Poured espresso on my sleeve.
"Silly boy! I meant to me..."
And before I or Tolstoi knew,
Her arms surrounded me
With Herb Alpert and other delights.

You ran a red light
And a stop sign
No need for caution
When love is on the wing.
There's no saving me
From your mystery
And would I care
If you broke down my last remaining walls?
Steal me away
Take me soon
Fly me back
To the deepest bluest moon.
I'll love all your manic reasons
And your funny little laugh
Your high kicks and cartwheels,
Come on take me soon.
It's a flight to Jupiter
And the silly stars between
But I've got eternity
To swing off Saturn's rings.
Kiss me in the salty sea
Love me in the in-between
And I'll keep you standing
High above the clouds.
No more red lights
And stop signs to slow you down
I'll keep you singing,
High above the clouds.

He reaches out,
Outstretched arms
Wide open and in the wait
What more can one man do?
Is it not the way it should be?
Am I not all that I can be?
I've done my share of magic tricks,
Pulled rabbits out of tea cups,
And flowers out of hats.
But I'd rather be a simple man...
...Simple in a tailored suit.
It's far too late to second guess,
Far too late for second best.
See me walking on the shoreline,
Throwing pebbles in the sea,
Each one a needless part of me.
"What now?" He thinks and wanders on
It's new shoes for a dusty road
That I will travel on.

Took a train ride to nowhere
Got lost inside my head
Found a sixpence in a wheatfield
Lost track of what you said.
Woolly sheep were grazing
We were kissing in the hay
Blue skies and teary eyes
How time did slip away...

People,
Surrounding me,
Suffocating and intolerable.
Navigating society's best examples
It's a morass of car crash drunks
And how little it takes
For their escape
Blissful,
They're unaware that they're unaware
Reminding me of why I strive.
So escape I shall,
Back to all my old friends,
Puccini, Lotze and Baudelaire.

Welcome to my world
There's evolution to witness
Each step is a new dream.
I'll keep my head in the clouds
Root my feet in the earth
Send my heart to you
Through heaven and stars
And through it all
I'll keep my eye on the horizon
For what has been, has been
A lesson learned and stored away
Each mistake a triumph
Regret them I can not.
Sit you down, right next to me
And let the silence speak
It's quiet whispered words.
It's all I ask, all I seek
A knowing of all that is.

Switch it off,
Turn it off,
You got it wrong boy
Misread the script
You dream too much
There's a lion in the attic
Waiting for a feast of heartache
And your heart's for lunch.
Switch it off,
Time to face the facts
And walk away
You dream too much
So turn it off.

Come find me
Deep in a wooded glade
I'm painting pictures of songs I've yet to sing
Call to me, whisper my true name,
Tell me the words I long to hear.
Celebrate,
The first steps
And the birth of Spring.
The morning light,
How it fills your eyes
And silences every question in me
Your laughter, like birdsong
Filling the air, surrounding me.
Let me hold you,
Close always to my heart
Deep inside this wooded glade
Painting pictures I've yet to sing.

Frozen in time
A last goodbye
And forever will the memory stain
Imprinted in a lilac shade
Your eyes like darkest days.
The sweet scent of rose and honey
Permeates the room where I now sit
Knees clutched tight
And buried face
Despondent in the drift.
Can I not forget
Those parting songs
The sequins on your dress
Your clicking heels
On wooden floors
And Spanish lullabies

You've got style in your pocket
And see how you turn my head
Couldn't want you anymore if I tried
(And believe me, I can try)
I'm in danger of spoiling
My best laid plans
And I'll do it,
They're out the window
If there's a sign, a wink
A word to the wise.
I'm off the marks
To your starting gun
And see how my spirit flies.
But I'll keep this treasure buried
Deep down and locked away
Save it for another day...

All these people
I'm surrounded by zealots and fools
Yes there's a disconnect like I've never seen
Turning on the radio
There's a fat man spinning dance-mix hypocrisy
Welcome to the new scene!
Wake up America
Do you sleep oblivious to this fascist regime?
And I'm not talking subtle
These are whoppers like you've never seen!
Write 'em a cheque for a ride in an armoured limousine
It's gold plated big smiles
The White House has been painted green!

Come to me
I've been waiting,
Waiting for a long time.
Your song,
It's so familiar
But it's a tune I've never heard.
I've watched and waited
While you spin me enthralling yarns
In truth I can barely resist
To pull you in my arms
And oh, while in honesty
There's no telling what I'd do!
One of these days,
In a stolen moment
I'm sure to take your breath away
There's nothing to lose
Except wasted time
And I will...I will have my wicked way.

So many words,
So many reasons why.
But it's the quality of the question
That drives me on
The answers immaterial
When one is circumspect
And I'll not try to qualify
I'll resist temptation
Without proof before the fact.
Sit with me
Ask me my reasons
Tell me how you really feel
And I, I'll not push for why
All of your drive,
All of your passion
And all I need to know
Whispers in the dusky sylvan
My heart does overflow.

All these memories,
I'll keep them safe.
Treasure the best
Of what used to be.
And now I find you
Washing up with the morning tide
Crushed and ragged.
Your Words,
So damn cynical
What blows did this life deliver
To twist your beautiful heart
To a shadow of what it used to be.
Your actions,
So full of spite
Why can't you let it all go?
I want to help,
I want to pull you free
But your anger,
I can't appease.
And still you come
What is it that you want from me?
I'm not your saint and saviour
You'll not draw me in
To this epic war of words.
A lost cause,
A foreign campaign
Caught up in signs and symbols
None of which
Pay tribute
To the beauty that used to be...

A new day
There's nothing sweeter.
Stepping out into brisk air
I catch my breath
And wonder at the beauty of it all
There's nothing I wouldn't give
To share the thrill
To explain my joy
To place the hand of my favourite girl
Upon my beating heart
To expound on my wishes and dreams
Two hearts against the world,
Yet working with it.
We'd always brave the weather
Find shelter in this truth
Walking the fine line
Between normality and sweet insanity
It's a new day,
And there's nothing sweeter -
The brisk air catching my breath,
Waiting for my favourite girl.

"I found the answer" he said,
Breaking the silence
Of a nervous room.
Drawing breath
And a pregnant pause
He whispered a promise
An exploding concept
As subtle as a Summer storm
And the people were released
Turning inward to question
Questioning their fragile ego
Could it be so very simple,
A heartfelt rendering of hope
Pulling the fleet from jagged rocks below
"Hear me now" he continued,
"There's beauty in all things,
A lesson in every detail..."
A dozen crumpled expressions
Let go their primal fears
Tears as offerings to a higher cause.
Futile attempts of exodus
Laying waste to all they'd known.
Love as constant comfort
To human inconsistency.

I dreamt of a perfect kiss,
It stole my breath,
Made me dizzy and weak
Born of purety,
Delivered in rapture.
And how I've clung to the dream
Each day longing
To find reality in my wishes
So elusive, so sweet
And for now...
...Just out of reach.

Locarno, you changed me
From fleeting déjà vu
To mountain fuelled epiphany.
Moved to insignificance
My face flushed
And flooded with tears.
From that moment
I could never look back.
My heart was released
From the bounds of sorrow.
But who could know
The weight of knowledge?
Who could understand
The feelings that drive me?
And the love that released me
From shackles and mortality.
And so these miles
Across time, space and understanding
Have I walked.
Alone on the tightrope and misty morn
Pity me not,
For history I would never change
The love of life
And a new day dawning
Taking me further
But closer to home.

Today I woke with a nagging doubt
And it grips my thoughts
As the sun surrenders to nightfall.
Thumbing through an album
Of all the things I've ever known
The mental snapshots
And voice recordings,
All the places I've ever seen
Disappearing into the ether...
... Of a tired mind.
And still I'll hold them close,
But your face and presence
Are just fading lines
No matter how much I try.
Forgive me
And I'll release myself.
Sitting in this chair,
Watching winter shadows
Moving slowly across the room
I'm haunted by the ghosts
Of shortcomings and failures
Of man who did all but lose.
But these are the feathers
That fill my pillow
Strange comfort
For an aching head
Pale shelter
For a lost child
So very far from home.

Give me truth
It's food for a hungry heart
And how it is that honour
Fuels my passion
Look me straight in the eye
Let me see what you protect
Worry not, for your heart is safe.
Let my dreams guide you on,
We'll salute the past
And wish it well
Put the book back on the shelf.
There's a new beginning in the offing
I've thrown the maps away,
The endless road,
The rolling green hills and sea
The world is home
No face a stranger
With truth and passion
To fuel the furnace.
Let me colour love
In endless shades and seasons
Each hue and nuance,
Brighter than before.

The fall of a thousand setting suns
Defenceless in twilight
The earthbound spirit cowers through nightfall
Bereft of hope
In the grip of sadness
We take to our knees
We call upon angels
Here in the Church of Lost and Found
Let us find comfort
In stories and printed words
'Till returning sunlight bathes
Our upturned face
Our courage now renewed

There's a time,
There's a place,
For all things
And I'm waiting.
I'm waiting for combustion,
I've measured flashpoint
In Kelvin's off the scale
And little did I know
That it all resided
In your eyes.
One look,
One fleeting glance,
And I was fire.
So strange,
So elemental
Such is way in all things
How could I not have known
The sweet mystery of life
Unfolding in a sideways step,
Two breaths and a heart skip away

You caught me blind and faltering,
It's not my way.
I've never wanted to be found like this
And you left me in the dark.
A lack of truth,
A spinning compass,
Magnetic North,
My joy gone South.
It was Tropic of Cancer
All over again,
My Miller to your Nin.
Bound in the throws
Of carnal sin,
There was a sweetness
To the bitter taste
Of your afterglow.
Breathless and heaving,
Drowning in the sea of sheets
You would always draw me in.
Time and again
Would I turn to leave,
To find you
Outstretched arms
Blocking the door,
Biting your lip,
Blazing eyes piercing my soul
And the weakness
That buckled my knees
Time and again...

I've seen your story
It unfolds like the many faces of Faust
And indeed your avarice,
Your gluttonous need for material things
Will undo your tragic sense of self
And what might I do?
For I cannot quench the horse's thirst
This is the course that will prevail
And who'll shed a tear
For the sad bon vivant?
Who'll give charity
To the one who has it all
A house of gold
And the finest things
Yet bankrupt in the important things...

The speed and the rush
The verve of it all
Sometimes we fall in so very quickly.
I'm a sober man
But my feelings and passions
Just can't contain
Just can't rail me in
What notes do I reach for
When I'm lost for words
No, I just can't explain
Just what it is that leads me on.
Forgive me,
I've never meant to inflict harm
I'd never wish to tear you down
And I fear...
...I fear that my song will draw tears
And it's more than I can bear,
It's more than I can take,
To see you cry.
This heart,
No more honest will you find
But already
There's anguish brewing
There's a furrow on my brow
How can I forgive myself
For the doubt that grows
And festers in my sleeplessness night.
There was never a time
When I purposely misled
Every word, every action
Was truth in motion
But I just can't hold this river's flow
It's sweeping me from the outer banks.
Forgive me,
My humanity fails my reason.
And it won't support this fragile dream.

Lying in the wilderness
The arid steppes of conscious thought
There's nowhere I'd rather be
I'm prey for Kali,
Devoured by love and her charcoal skin
This is the night when the goddess reigns
I am all but nothing in the scheme of things
Let Shiva find me humbled,
My hunger fed on Sutras
As Bhajans sing my praise.
Let me kneel with a quiet mind
Intoxication,
So sweet,
So divine.

Spent a night outside
Wandering through a rainstorm
Just to know I was alive
Slept on Venetian steps
To feel history in the wake
Gave my wallet to a beggar
To restore the fire in their heart
Climbed a mountain
To have Darshan with the gods
These are the things that I have done
Only to feel
Only to know
But there's so much more
It's a view across the rooftops
And I've only just begun

Wandering the ruins
Sitting on marble steps
I'm lost to my darkest thoughts
The pantheon of collected shame.
It's my confusion that wrecks me so
But there's a bright spot in this heart of darkness
That always leads me home.
Tell me, I know...
...I've fallen so many times
All I need is a knowing smile.
I've found the world that exists between,
Here and now, unsure, unseen.
Find me now,
Swimming in a field of tall grass,
Green blades as water, (my aqua vita)
And I dive to the depths,
Time and again
No time to wait
I'm coming home.

Ascolti,
Silenzio,
Ancora.
Freddo, stanza vuota.
Canti,
Deplori,
Un mondo bello,
Una vita preziosa.

It was fortnight
And a long weekend
Six bottles of vino
And maybe a case
My long hair
And a close cut shave
It was the best party
That I don't remember
Five rock gods
And bucket of hubris
A four star suite
And a pound of aspirin
It was the best fortnight
That I don't remember.

Catch me as the day is falling
Making my way to the edge of town
It's the high point on the hill
I'll sketch my thoughts and premonitions
'Till the horizon swallows the sun
These are the days of common sense
These are the days of abandonment
I'm trying to forget all the best laid plans
That stole my hunger and taste
Carnations in my new lapel
Lilies for your memory
Catch me as the day is falling
Coming back from the edge of town

Speak to me,
Push my head back on the pillow
Draw my eyes to a close
Paint me lucid pictures
Loosen these constrictive clothes
Take a match to my imagination
Fan the fire with your words
Let my desire run like horses
Through fields, free and wild
Stay close to me always
Feel my breath quicken to your touch
In morning, day and nightshade
I'll hunger for this rush.

How this grey morning takes me back...
...Walking through those cold empty streets
From the bright lights of the city,
Turning up the collar of a long wool coat
The mist forming a web of droplets on my brow
And a silence that gave me comfort.
The smell of damp earth and trees,
Mother Nature's body replenished
From the dry Winter chill
And how she would offer up her secrets
She whispered her song -
Sweet laments of Springtime for the taking
A rhapsody in grey,
A hymn for the season.

Moments of weakness
The fire of spirit
Reduced to embers
Mortality making it's presence known.
And there she is,
With sustenance and comfort
A nurturing hand
For a stubborn man.
Humbled and grateful
He slips into dreams
From "Sogno D'oro" may he never wake

Follow Me
Follow me,
Meet me in that special place
On bridge to ever after.
In dreams and whispers,
A kiss on your forehead shall I place
When all is still,
When all is said and done
You'll find me waiting
With a boyish smile
Under my favourite tree
It's the first step and deep breath
Before the icy plunge
Let me guide you through your darkest hours
When all else fails
Let me be your voice of reason.

This is not my first time
This way I have been before
I have seen the dawning of new life
Time and again
And so will I pass through
This velvet veil of existence
With a quiet mind
And an open heart
I will find myself -
Wrapped up and warm as a child
In the open arms of the constant heart of heaven.
Find me as I am,
Feel my spirit lift to a higher place,
My journey mapped in stars and wishes

I wanted it all -
Long walks on Winter days,
Masquerade in Venetian squares,
To read you sonnets on Summer days.
But your touch (though warm)
Chilled me to the bone.
You asked me what I saw in your eyes,
My mouth spoke love
But my heart saw fear and the greatest lie.
Indeed a fool with the best intent.
But strangely when alone
In the stillness of the night,
A certain smile creeps gently across this face
Happiness residing in the belly of hurt
No measure of one without the other.

Caught up in the nets
In the depth of your deepest sea
I'm captive yet unbound
I'll swim blindfold to your call.
Time and again I've run aground
Pulled without sense
By the sweetness of your song
And the beacons upon your shore.
All these things do I endure yet hunger for,
One fleeting glance, one silent kiss
And onward into the undertow.

Shine On
(blog entry)
Call the man above,
Tell him to turn the lights down low.
Bring up the stars, shine on again this happy moon
It's your face that makes me smile
Sets my hands to tremble
All good things now come in threes
Seems to fit my love of Trinity...

Inside Out
(blog entry)
My stomach is churning,
It's a long drive home
No need or want for food
Without you, my taste has gone
An oversight while in love's distraction
I'm not as smart as you'd have me be
And oh, I'll tear myself inside out
All the things I...

Ones And Twos
(blog entry)
Here we all are
Walking around in our own little worlds
Just hoping someone else will walk our way
They're all counting ones and twos
While we're seven and nine
It's a funny thing to be out of step
But I've never followed a trend
So h...
