James Dylan

Sports we played
Music bands we made
It was all bonding
But through those schooling years
...

I was one of the only few
Standing still
Listening to the busker
Watching him entertain
...

I aint goin nowhere baby
Im gonna be right here watchin you
I said I aint gonna go nowhere baby
Im gonna be right here watchin you
...

Is there an art to pursuing?
A way to successfully track you
Unlike the renowned Aborigines
I am unable to trace wild footsteps
...

Today’s a day
I’ve gone through many times before
As I step inside sports store
I go straight for the range of classics
...

Floating around the packed carriage
On a warm summers day
The moth has the freedom of the train
It moves around from spot to spot
...

Daily sitting at my desk
At the office
I’ve learnt to recognise
The pattern of steps
...

Spotless Crystal
The desire of my impatient hand
You hold my golden water of life
...

Sitting in the park
I couldn’t stop staring
At the pretty girl sitting under the tree
With an apple in her hand
...

Desks desks desks
My whole life nothing but desks
Primary school
High school
...

I see you in the mall and down the street
My envious eyes as they gladly meet
Such glorious colours and varied features
The coming together of Gods creatures
...

Standing on the footpath
Waiting like every other day
For the bus to arrive
I’m early as usual
...

We stood next to each other
The illuminated stream our mirror
Hands in pockets
Her right, my left unacquainted
...

On the factory floor
Two ethnic women speak
In their native tongue
A language that flows beautifully
...

We have all discovered something or someone
We never knew
Even though a billion others
Knew of their greatness
...

Some say a battle is raging for Oil
A war is being waged and this the spoil
The idealists tell us it is a crime
To fight for this most precious grime
...

Why is it that I appreciate a beautiful man
Sometimes more than a beautiful woman
Is it because man is a natural beauty
No need for makeup and creams
...

My color is not right
It is dark and not light
Was I made inferior
Are you so superior
...

A young relatives wedding attended
The reception a night of drinking and dancing
For the single ones a hope of someone to meet
On the dancefloor he moves around
...

A greater man never embraced the air
An existence that was most divine
To thee only did the Lord appear
Delivering to your hands many a sign
...
