...Silhouettes of the far off skies
laced through the edge of madness
bring a certain dance to your feet
and some mysterious sadness.

Into the depths of black and beyond
temptation knows no bound......

...Tell me, my friend,  
does infinity not unsettle your reason,  
or is it a comfort—to believe it meaningless?  

Look beyond the rust of your disbelief—

Sole idle suffuses our organic
Implicit say overcomes suggestion

Isolated in single origin 
Slaughters overt outsid......

On the Edge of Forever
...The shores of time
are at our feet
The sea of eternity
we've come to meet
What we'll find
Is beyond our grasp,
If only to have
A lover's hand to clasp

To wade together
Under the moon's swe......

Life and Death
...Many plan to live for ever
But can only try
Death always visits
No matter how hard we cry

Faith in longevity is ill-judged
Life spans vary

One day we are welcomed

...The year 2000 about to done with,
and only the Atlantic Ocean divides us.
Now around me the snow falls.
If I could see you in months,
I shall turn the months in snowballs.

All January ......

...Do you trust in the future enough to have kids,
Or is family - flailing of heart split in two?
Is it  more symptomatic of life on the skids

...All the praises you pick along the streets
Go confirm before a new-bought mirror,
And if those rare glories you all find true
Then know she’s near that beauty shearer.

Who’s time, the unerring ......

Re-Lie
...Shower me not with 
Such sweet sour emptiness 
From your wagging tongue of lies
For this earth beneath my foot
Could be a sinking land for loot.

...She’s dead
But will always stay alive
A beacon for everyone with a gripe

Thatcher snatcher was their war cry
When with apparent vigour
She tore asunder all society held dear

...The dance goes on; and every generation
Imposes measured steps and calls fast time.
I would sit this one out, but for the few
Opportunities for joining hands. 

My awkward feet remember dated so......

...Moonlight Sonnet

A song masterfully crafted, by a man hard of hearing:
able to sooth any man or woman's ear.
Beethoven could barely hear, the crowd's crying and cheering
Still the beauty......
