Tungsten Heart
...The venom drips, a sugared lie,
A serpent's smile behind your eye.
You claim to cherish, hold me dear,
While whispering poison in my ear.

The cruelest song ...

Memories of you softly intrude

You have many layers, like an onion
And you're coloured, but not green

Looking For Owls

When nightfall dips in palest of gold
I feel a sense of indignity,
As owl's melody loses its eloquence
Through the absence of a safe abode;
Where quietude calls for avian coos
The kind ...

JUST ONE MORE REVELATION
...JUST ONE MORE REVELATION
Lines that radiate out from a centre
Like spokes of an umbrella or wheel

A symphony of truth alone,
Dictated, printed, beamed so wide,
Where independent thought had died.
Newspeak choked the rebel tongue,
And every sun...

Night Whispers
..."Night Whispers all the secrets day keeps from me." I saw that on a sticker and this acrostic was inspired.
Now I lay me
In my bed
Gentle whispers float in my head
Holding tight lips to the day...

A busybody with plenty of well-earned solitude

Tall mountain ash form
pillars that hold up space
and keep a cathedral
of shade within its walls.
High overhead, a canopy
of leaves cur...
