Nomad Goggs Poems

Travel light a friend once said to me,
'Yeah right' i thought with my big screen TV,
but over the years I've changed my view,
now i know there are very few things truly essential to you.
...

Brother versus brother, an eye for an eye,
and all the while the innocent die,
The leaders and generals, tucked up in bed,
more women and children, dead.
...

Bear things patiently,
Face adversity with courage,
Do not allow yourself to be degraded by pleasant vices,
Have respect for yourself in all that you do,
...

I like my poems to rhyme,
not always, but most of the time,
but then I'll slip in a line,
which doesn't.
...

You never fail to put a smile on my face,
to remove me metaphorically from this miserable place,
and that's the reason, I know it's true,
in such a short space, I've fallen for you.
...

So here I sit, looking at my cat,
if you'ld never met, wouldn't think she's all that,
but if you got to know her personally,
it all becomes pretty plain to see.
...

When i came to the lodge there were two ways to go,
carry on drinking and go with the flow,
or find myself, at last, from beneath all the masks,
and release my true self, too late, but at last.
...

I love you more than words can say,
In fact this is a clumsy way,
To say I won’t treat you like blokes gone by,
I wanna make you smile, not cry.
...

I hope to shield behind my Karma,
protected by my innocent grace,
yet when i look a little further,
the smile fades quickly from my face.
...

Sometimes we say forever, when really we mean now,
But things can change, things can change, things can cange and how.

Passionate words are spoken, we mean them there and then,
...
