Tickling the ivories

...
In my youth I dreamt of playing the piano

I well remember days from long ago
How we adored our musical maestro.

We'd stand round the piano as...

Brainwash

...Brainwash

My pawns are carved from the ivories
ripped from flesh are the tusks 
I need to have agency,
my moves I look forward
to in any direction 
through hearts I may pierce

I'm a shadow in your space 
and not any voice which can be heard
    above restless mists, 
so, when the crystals of change mo...

A Faint Whiff of Perfume

...
    A stray lock of hair
       in the corner right there

    In the parlor, a faint whiff of perfume

White Lily Against Black Background

...Piano music plays.
Soft notes emote mid air,
like tear-stung doves they fly
