of the uniting universe,
Through childhood...

Drawing My Own ConclusionsI'd been caught up in the middle, of one of those awful days,
When nothing seems to go right, with glitches and delays.

I can hear the patchy sounds of the horn ushered by the wind.

Gulls hovering over...

Tributaries Of Black Tulips - Collaboration with 'Ink Empress'
When heinous fangs
of life drain
the amethyst glow

across a mazed face
of a starless canvas,
What if these...

The PaintingShe’s a painting, conceived in tinted strokes
Smooth as the feather’s tips, drifting through canvas,
The alchemist’s wand waltzes in curls,
Enraptured in pacific zephyr, her entire universe unfurls
An abstruse domain of love, artist’s exaltation of philosophical...

Inner SanctumGrowing out of childish pranks,
With the storm and stress of turbulent teens,
I locked within my mind’s cupboard,
A portrait vaguely sketched, but never finished.

Drawn by my own simpering hand
Of your divine features and veiled Oriental eyes
Scratched out by the crude tool of a 2B pencil
Alas I had no mosaic...
