Built of white painted timber,

with a gabled roof clad in green tin,

it had never been a rich person's house.

It was...

When we are walking…
and we’re stepping on a spiky ground,
Walk lightly without looking down or turning around;
Ahead of us always awaits the finest sand

You feel your body falling in blackness.
You snatch your shoulder to the right.
The nausea stops.
The bottomless pit is hell.
Do not enter the midnight.

Up in the...

We had been up, down and sideways with lonely nights and solitary days.
We had seen total darkness dispensed from our fights.
Our heads began believing our...

Dangerous Mind

The mind is a most dangerous thing,
Forcing memories into replay,
Endless relived moments drowning bring
Snippets in time more real than today. 
Paralyzing sadness is trouble
Which...

I’m quirky; that’s just how I love to be.
I don’t think many people are like me.
The things I like most, I turn them into
obsessions which,...

It came to me
upon reflection
Life is one
great big collection

Starting with a
teddy bear
and ending with
a gasp of air

The time between
those points is rough
accumulating
all this stuff

Trinkets and knick knacks you keep somewhat near at hand, and never too far...

I Weep

From childhood I revered them
Huge chunks of gray magnificence
Now my home holds their image
in herds of knick knacks
I am old and almost dead
My elephants...

packing knickknacks and things we need.
With sleep in our eyes hearing the robins sing;

That is me for you and whole of the world.
While inside me I still shout,
"Wait to see my rage unfurled".

Alicia altered my life attachments!
All I say, all I see, all just happen!

Students at Work


See them work!
Studious looks,
Buried in books,
Leaflets flipping,
Binders snapping,
Pencils tapping,
Textbooks slamming,
Nick-knacks toppling,
Back-packs rummaging,
Noses rubbing,
Nail nibbling,
knees flapping,
Foreheads scrunching,
Eyebrows rising,
Lips compressing,
Faces scowling,
Chins supported,
Tongues catapulting,
Coughs echoes,
Work Accomplished!...
