He loved,but could not say
such words,he could not find;

Wings of Icarus
"Wings of Icarus"

the sky never falls
when love carries its

walking on a blue Ichthys ocean
words each feather

enfolding the fallen labyrinth
opening golden grail stories

Coloured filled swathes,bands of
blocks,circles,squares&oblongs
attached yet apart in migrainous
views,grating abstract shapes
triggering stark sensations.A
painted mist,emblems of the mind
introspectives that hover between

COMMONPLACE PHRASIS IX
Everything in its season,concentrated
and alive stray objects ripple across
the view and solitary imagination
is its scale.Recollections of things
past,so apposite for self-expression
