‘What good´s permitting some prophet of doom? To wipe every smile away …’


The orator grins at his drunken audience through make up and mask

Opens the cabaret’s veil in the theatre of forsaken minds on the run

Champagne flows from magic fountains while Berlin falters from grace

The...

belly laughs and thrills
water park fun temptations
lasting summer sun
the beauty of family
together screams of delight!

love and together
peace for joy, the meal table
inner happiness...

So many times I skip
laughing with friends, arm in arm
then wake and ... they're gone.

Fields where flurries drift
    - melt on my brow.
I reach for a sane moment,
steady fingertips - somewhere a smile
that didn't hide tears.

Just one day when
that disheveled path of...

Night brings us close unwrapping naked bodies
Of old conversation left hanging in the window
Of an empty house
This house had no tenant so long time now
You laughing from stern to bow
Your wine glass amazing pirouettes 
I set to sea 
But could not get pass pushing waves
It...

"Reality is something you rise above."  Liza Minelli


Friends declare,

not from this town. That’s just how things are!”

“Don’t you dare

All alone again
thinking about you
Memories flood my mind
tell me this ain't true

My world is shattered
as you sit in that cell
Such a lonely place
we know of all to well

Tell me it's a dream
I'll wake to find you here
Gently reaching up
to wipe away my tear

The warmth of...

Lady,
Your empire is turning gray
The sun is about to set
Your children are falling away
Around us creep a new death
Of familiar beliefs, and truth
The worm suckles at your root

Lady,
Your dead branches waste the rain
Leaves fall like acid spindles
Nothing grows near you again
Your shade so slowly dwindles
I...
