For others the dissonance is too much. All up, sovereignity is fundamentally your own gig.2019-04-24 19:49:00https://www.nopantspetey.com/poems/sometimesSometimes I feel, see, sense, smell the presence of my departed love. It's so real. It's so bittersweet. It's so wonderful. It makes me feel so desperately alone and so incredibly united at the same time. Almost 2 years... I can't remember a day since u moved on.2018-11-25 20:05:00https://www.nopantspetey.com/poems/beetleI don't have much human contact these days.

Though raw and wobbly, I also feel steady. I feel you lift the breeze that I might learn to fly again. Happy Birthday Habibi. xxx2018-09-03 18:06:00https://www.nopantspetey.com/poems/it-s-all-about-the-helloHow much loss can someone deal with in such a short time? Seems all the people I love have passed in the last year. Now my beloved dog, Rufus, the most loyal and loving soul has crossed the rainbow bridge. But I must remember all he taught me. It's not about goodbyes. It's always about the hello.2018-06-02 19:21:00https://www.nopantspetey.com/poems/algorithymFacebook. Urrhhh.2018-05-12 06:10:00https://www.nopantspetey.com/poems/i-will-know-my-nameAs we move through difficulties, through grief, we find a way to recreate ourselves. Albeit, slowly. A year after Kinan's passing I went to visit my darling Mom-in-law in Minnesota. Lake Phalen in St.Paul provided nature, nurture and knowledge.2018-05-04 01:44:00https://www.nopantspetey.com/poems/you-are-hereA year on. I miss you so much my Habibi. Life is just not the same.

Say your piece and then leave others to it. Take yourself to it.2018-04-23 17:29:00https://www.nopantspetey.com/poems/the-last-man-on-earthWe all have those times when we feel totally and utterly alone. Sometimes through loss, grief or through not being amongst those with which we resonate. Yes, this poem is essentially about loss, but also of trust in the new beginnings that lay ahead. Society often looks down on the side of one acknowledging ones loneliness as being "self-indulgent" or "negative". I disagree. It's a feeling that we all have either in the background or right in the centre of our lives at various times. And one that needs to be worked through, not ignored. For whatever reason, we all feel sometimes like we are the last one on Earth.2018-04-14 15:56:00https://www.nopantspetey.com/poems/busyBusy is our world.

It used to really bother me. I learnt how to be able to tune in or tune out. Sometimes however, people are just so loud with their thoughts its impossible not to hear it. I also get senses and images from them, or from loved ones past, and I've learnt to really enjoy this communion.2011-08-05 22:29:00https://www.nopantspetey.com/poems/can-you-be-your-own-lawFed up with London, my love and I moved to Ibiza.

Varying in strength at different times of the year, the original inhabitants of the Noongar tribes based their food collection, hunting and fishing, customs and rituals, and care of the land on the knowledge of the winds that shape the weather. When Europeans first came to the area and established a port at what is now Fremantle, on the mouth of the Swan River's entry to the Indian Ocean, and the city of Perth, 20km upstream, they too came to appreciate the awesome healing effect of the strong breeze that almost would like clock-work, arrive to cool the sweltering people of the settlement. As the breeze came up river, seemingly originating from Fremantle, they'd thank the " Doctor " for arriving and making them feel better. Today the bustling city of metro Perth still relies on the Freo Doctor to give relief in the harsh summer afternoons where temperatures can reach above 40C very regularly. Every Perth local takes constant notice of the Doctor, its arrival or not, and adjusts ones activities accordingly. It carries with it the smell of salt, gum trees and clarity, and I know of nowhere else on Earth with a wind quite so magical.2005-09-08 18:31:00https://www.nopantspetey.com/poems/40-is-the-new-21I had somewhat of a re-birth after I turned 40, having met the love of my life, having come to terms with a colourful but testing past, and a lot of water under the bridge.2005-08-03 00:00:00https://www.nopantspetey.com/poems/the-place-where-all-my-dreams-come-fromInspired by my birth place, Perth.. my favourite beach, Swanbourne.. a place of wind, sun, sand, waves, water, birds, heat, cold, nature and nudists.2005-04-29 19:26:00https://www.nopantspetey.com/poems/came-back-to-meWe all have a time in our lives when we come face to face with the lies we tell ourselves.
