He walks alone through the hush of morning,
dew balancing like prayers on blades of grass.
above him, a red kite wheels as geometry drawn
and for a moment,he forgets what we’ve done.

Tears Of A Clown

...Against a willowy wailing backdrop of inner chaos,
an indignant incendiary mask stifles the simmering cauldrons,
of a stoic stage clown post lachrymose performance wearily stunning yet stung,

Underneath

...I know I'm the problem 
My fractured thoughts remind me constantly 
My love 
I've got the bullet
But I never wanted the gun

Strangers on the street I'll meet ...

PIETY

this is your  destruction
you are drunk with distain

Your body is a yew tree

hair composed of lots and dreads

Under Our Rug

Under the rug it goes
So nobody else will know

Under the rug it goes
Safe, beneath trodding toes

Under the rug is safe
For an unspoken mistake

Love on the Dark Side

...
You senselessly hurt me,
     Then, demand I do not cry.

You frustrate me,
     Then, unsympathetically, punish my display of anger.

You ridicule me,
     Then, taunt me when I strive to w...

Flowerful Fun

...Rosey, had a rose of course
