Where is the home you are looking for?
Being a part of a relationship should not be like facing an obstacle course. Yes, it should present you with challenges and give you the experience of dealing and growing but the whole timeline of being in a relationship should not present itself as a confrontation. A constant challenge. It should help you grow as … Continue reading Where is the home you are looking for?

Your Disapproved Skin – a poem by Paul Vincent Cannon
How can we ever celebrate a day which marks as evasion and brutal violation of human rights?
Very fitting and moving poetry from Paul Cannon.
Warning: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples need to know there is an image that displays deceased people.
“Australia Day” January 26 marks the anniversary of the arrival of the first fleet at Port Jackson in 1788. For most indigenous people this is known as invasion day. Their treatment to this day has been brutal and in the least one of denial and rejection. It is a hard history to read and on the part of the colonial architects, even to this day, a very shameful history. I am one of many Australians who would rather move the celebration to a new date in conjunction with a dialogue with indigenous peoples as to how to achieve that. But then I believe that nationalism and patriotism are poisonous, as history and our nightly news shows, so maybe no day is needed.

Confession
It was a candid confession
when she told her mom
how it happened
and how did it start
How first it was
all game and play
and now it has turn into
a painful, hurtful thing
which is ripping
her soul apart.
How that voice
which evokes the
element of joy and surprise
now fills
her with fear
how she flinches and
runs to next door
or hides under the stair
whichever is near
How she has torn apart
all the pictures in
her family album
and have started
drawing the
scary things
all of a sudden.
How no matters
how much she listens
to the lullaby
it doesn’t calm
the devil within
they always have
a place to hide
a corner to sneak in.
It was indeed a candid
confession,
an honest one;
but everything
tuned into dust
and broke her heart
when she heard her mom saying
“I know, you are lying from the start”.

Loophole
I’m looking for a loophole
to get into yourÂ
broken and closed heart
just looking for the waysÂ
how to get a jump-start
A smile, a look
or a full-on embrace
which trick might workÂ
and
which might solve the case
With that forlorn look
in your eyes
and your gait
of a lost wolf
seems to me like
somebody gave you
painÂ
more than they took
Your eyes filled with
that deep sadness
evokes the darknessÂ
hidden in theÂ
shapeless cloudsÂ
hiding the thunder
To live an empty life
seems to me a wonder
There should be way to
get across all that pain
there is a reasonÂ
you looked back again.
