The Ordainment
The chilled musky air torments the aging Saxon stone;
whistling through the aisles, the sound reverberating
as it sweeps along the colonnade.
Moonlight penetrates ancient glass stained windows,
initiating reflected shadows, as an innocent mind pulsates tempestuously,

SATURN GOD OF TIME
Saturn ! You magnetised with
enchanting icy rings
promised white gold
endless skates on
Chrysalis circled cates

like fairy rings

NDIDI (PATIENCE IS GOLDEN)
Patience said:

What The Roses Don't Say

At the breaking of the new dawn
Where the hopeful golden glow melts the dew
A sleepy world awakens to the brightened new dawn of life
But at the striking of that aged light

The Shore Temple of Mahabalipuram
The mirtangist may never willingly hear

nor the melodist aware of the flautist's right
to the change in the raga
the plucking of the yal strings
to the goatskin drummed bleats

A Brief Childhood
In the back of my head, in the garden shed,
I see him as clearly as fresh white paint:
A little boy sat on the creosote floor,
Dragged grazed knees hugged up to his chin,
So familiar,...

She Was Anne

the kind that roam around your mind
but are always held deep
inside your chest;
and she heaved
under the weight of tears
left uncried

Reminiscence of Summer (For Maxine Grace Hylton)

I played in solitude with cuddly clouds
And watched them form changing figures, blight
The sky or bring the sobbing sludge of rain,

In the twilight where shadows whisper secrets of forgotten epochs
In the twilight where shadows whisper secrets of forgotten epochs,
An old man stands, a spindly relic of a bygone era,
So brittle he could shatter through himself,
From crown to root,
A cathedral of detritus,
