Manage your Stress … a peeling faded poster boldly declares 
I do get it about advertising campaigns.

Reflecting the sunshine & blue Ocean beyond, his eyes twinkle

A colourful array of falsehoods
Intricately designed disguises 
Fools, fortunes, phantoms

Mesmerised 
My eyes are glued
I take in every detail
His sea	
His sky
His movement 
I hear the sounds

She came to me in a fit of despair.

I almost choked to death on an orange pip

All set for a journey of her own,
a lonesome soul, she lingers at the bridge.
That last glimpse, she dares not.
Fear wrenched wounded heart,
