Shimm'ring, babbling, laughing in the breeze,
The ever-merry tapping bells,

Deep, still, lead bells.
Bells.  Bells. ...

Ballad of Love
As the chandelier dances with lustrous light.
Eras of still slumber awoken...from fluid dreams,
...in the depths of her confines...hibernating..

Legends of vineyards past...uncorked.
Poured...

Beware the bush itself seems,
 To come alive,
Beneath moonlights twilight...

who in his masculine fashion, though not apprehensively,

One Sided Love
One Sided Love...

Her dazzling saccharine smile...
Her tremendously appealing hairstyle...
Her varicoloured melodious voice...
Her serene coruscating eyes...

Oh, this excruciating one-sided love
When will it be a felicitous two-sided...

The Secret Lives of Chimney Pots I
Cluttering above huddled rooftops
Of sprawling villages 
And shy provincial towns;
Rising sharply amidst swooping
Declinations;
Hesitating when gathering at the

Outlying greenland bounds,
