Winter’s Song


The darkness of the pewter moon
Casts its light 
Upon the dreary December night
Curtains close for autumn’s harvest 
Leaves and cones and needles swept underground 

The arctic brisks fill the air 
Crystals and icicles adorn bare forest wood
Fluffy snow mount...Read More

            Winter, No!      

            Fingers of winter,
            Sneaking...Read More

I can’t abstain playing of this water-flow-air-soil ;
River arrive to my home breaking bank.
Kite arrive to fly me cloud by cloud
Fire arrive to burn it’s branch through me.
Fish arrive with net catching me
Steamer arrive to ride on me
Library arrive to...Read More

Just a grainy photo
in a missing persons file
A blurry time worn image
of a fading face and smile

Forgotten people through the cracks
have slipped and gone away
By whose hand to God knows where
there is no clue to say

They wandered off the beaten...Read More

She says
That her belly is too big
That her favourite jean cant seem to fit
That her skin is showing signs of spilling over ,she says she's afraid of going to the shop she looks like a freak
She's convinced that her momentum...Read More

Depressed
Angry
Hopeless, mental fatigue
Social media – a toxic cerebral disease?

We’re addicted to an image
Humanity - an insatiable virtual lust
Greed, gluttony, and envy
The juxtapositions - intrigue woven with disgust

Intoxicated by the fantastic stories
A dark emotional bottomless hole
We do our best to disconnect
Troubled...Read More

You came into the shop I was waiting in. 
You told me, the threat if I said ‘No’ implicit,
For only I to see
A supposed gift, explicit
For all to see
“I got a tattoo at 18. I have booked you to have...Read More

I am seeing you see
what you think was me
and you're seeing more
than you think you see

I am seeing you see
this soul waiting to see
another who sees more
than the essence of me

Within this image you see
this gaze confirms it is me
I...Read More

Lately I have likely been leaning
Towards penning lots of lofty lines
And start looking for lonely lagoons
To pick laurels, lilacs and lilies
Frogs leaping into languid, lush ponds
Ducks landing lightly on silent lakes
Lilting laments from past lovely times
Images of lost lands lingering...Read More

under wraps
       forbidden eyes
       reciprocating feelings
       of speculation
attachment
  remains a bond
yet
   set aside

Character

What defines us becomes very clear at times,
when the generous spirit works in echoes of frames.
Beside the task of generating month end meets,
are the relations and trust with its deeds.
When prejudice and temptations are wrought,
establishing a particular colour in random...Read More

I don’t recognize the image reflected in my mirror
Be gone I scream
She moves her lips but I can’t hear her
Please disappear
She can’t be me, I refuse to believe her
This must be a dream
I try to get away but she pulls...Read More

Another nightly ascent up the stairs towards my solitary bedroom

Glistening green totems await, slighty tainted with opiate night perfumes

O souls beyond time before time was time

Is there a bright future ahead?

Only the note of B flat spills out of nocturnal...Read More

It was once believed
the earth was flat.
This is no longer the case:
we all know now
that the earth is flat-lining....Read More

Will it be a half naked fat man 
   rubbing sleep out of his eyes
      Pajama clad toddler that managed 
            to...Read More

A particular path to take everyday to walk in a fashion on the way. Only to pass beautiful things, flowers and trees only to get a whith of a cool breeze. At least for a moment enternally, only convinced by...Read More

My breath morphs into a November ghost
spectral mist the slightest breeze dissipates.
And barren trees lament the loss of leaves
as Autumn approaches where Winter waits.

The wind whistles through the twigs and branches
rattling the bare bones of the naked trees.
And drums a...Read More

To get behind the cobwebs 
this harsh cold wind awakens a soul 

Under a veil watching the spider darn it's web 
cutting to a heart whispering chills deeply bound 
 
Trapped as the sparkle of morning dew in shimmering light...Read More

Bright ,cheerful,jovial is his visage
You sense a fragile sadness
Belied by his soft smile

In  quieter mood his face relaxes
Worry lines fragment his calm
Tears threaten like raindrops

The pent up  dam now  bursts,his bulwark gone
Broken,beaten and bereft
A sad shell of...Read More

I saw a dragon fly.
This wasn't my imagination
He was a reflection in the water near my boat
From the clouds in the sky.
Pictures don't lie.
The dragon was there for a short duration.
I saw a dragon fly.
I saw it with my own...Read More

 




Did you milk the goat, Juliet?
Oh, sorry Romeo, not yet !!!
What about the cow?
Oh, I don't know how, !?
So, go milk Shakespeare's sonnets

The Greatest Wealth



Your everchanging hue,
The chameleon inside of you
All the black and the blue 
That you pulled yourself through
I must n’t change for anything
Your window of light
Your hello and goodnight 
Your sand and your shore
Your today and tomorrow 
Your shadow...Read More

They know everything, viewing unsuspecting beings, as they pass beneath, they whisper their secrets upon the air.  Leaf-songs no human can interpret, ride the winds like a bird, winging its way across azure skies.
