Soul Song
...Lost pieces of my soul
flow downstream, on rivers
where I once swam
amid the pearls of peace
bleeding from shadows
carved into the stones,
hallucinations swelling
on the sandcastle shores,

Water sings a lilting lullaby
...Hear Ye!
the babbles of brook flowing on by.
the fizzy hiss of foam floating on tide.
the howls of a waterfall crying into sky.
the raging roar of waves crashing on beach.
the pitter-patter raps...

Old Paint in Old Tin Can

I pried with a screw-driver driven into a lid
sealed with age, and rust, to crack open a
callous retribution, set aside, tombed over.
I was curious to learn how much remained
and in w...

You don't cry
...You don’t cry
Doesn’t, I know, if yes, then it is just a dramatic comedy
only. Feed your cruel soul, gurgle your dark blood
in your heart. Your being grows fat in a suffering fool
This guy lo...

...In Autumn
In Autumn pumpkins hang out in
hedge mazes, corn visits wreathes in
Finland, spices go to
music festivals, photos of
chestnuts do
the splits, marsh mellows make
prank calls, h...

The Mask of Black Spinel

Trapped again 'tween times when thirds are three in number.

is my heart being made redundant,
laid off, cast off, sent astray
recycled pulse rates mere skip hire fodder,
atrophied organ sinking into deep morass,

From the ravine to a straight road
...Ravine: Oh road , you're on the straight and narrow
Your path is so very shallow
And the beings that pass by oh so mellow
Everyone's a jolly good fellow
Road: Dear ravine with you...

Rain

Today I listened to the rain,
its soft fall and trickle down
patter on a metal roof,
its melodic tap tap
on a large leaf and the gurgle
of its spill deep in a downpipe.
My world was distilled...

She helps slow your pace right down
Your heart beats with Gaia's heartbeat
And She shows you how it's...
