Thick smoke sick rising 
into the stormy iron-gray sky 
industrial gears and pistons
grinding eternity…

Lightning lances arcane

And ancient bloodstains

(Dedication: For Ann)


Lasting
Impressions
Discovery
Images and ideas
Profound


Lovely

New notes

Sensuous feel
Touch of magic
In between the odd lines
Wordplay


Sadness
Tears...
