Vantage Point
Serenading you with my sincerity assembling praises in your name your one glance falls in place a thousand emotions it resurrects. Dawn is the new dusk you pretend and wave it off but the beauty in it like an elephant without a tusk.

Abandoned, it was kept secret for many years I have stumbled upon this inherent passage in time. This parapet before me stirred with its meaning Buttressed with elements of wood...

Breaking Down Barriers
It is no small act that follows no leaps nor bounds as we are bound the square, white-washed walls crumbling, no doors, no sound but who are we are we not what one perceives stuck to our one room box we break down walls chains colour splashes from our minds deep duck pond greens clouded and clumsy periwinkle blues rich like yellow satins seducing our sky dawning...
