It seems it’s time to change a fuse.
I can’t remember the procedure;
Time to shave and read the clues....

Searching For LightThough surrounded by shadows,
I search for a glimmer of light.
I look for a glow through windows,
to push and keep back the night.
It must be out there somewhere,
held in memories of long ago.
When I was young...

Stay with me many years
Now I bought new combs too
But too lazy to use

I use my hands to comb most of the...

Gazing Through the Widow“A window would really open up
The place”
The builder had said,
“Light up the room,
You know.
Gotta have something to
Bring in the light
Round here”
“Yes, yes,

My dearest replied,
So long ago.
And sitting here...

infamy
In every effigy there is infamy...
I conceive every domain.
That is my immortal doctrine...
I see into the shadowy corners of its facade...
Feel its faded power and ruined

NostalgiaA picture
Sparks a memory
Gulping back the overwhelming nostalgia
That creeps like an unbidden visitor
Encouraging despair
Lost in the strands of time
If only
Things were different
But it won't change anything now
We never would have known how
If we never believed
In...

My Longest Day
Night had been short, I still was highly tired
for my bones had been badly maltreated
during exhausting marches. I admired
comrade John who recently had cheated
the Reaper in the north at Stamford Bridge.
I left the troops and...

Love's Ashes We All BurnedLost loves I've known sometimes appear
to haunt my idle mind
timeless shadows which reappear
in fragments that remind
inlaid scars hang on the heart's wall
tear stains I stumble through
some words spoken I can't recall
those I cannot undo
memories kept...

PICTURESI see you have a picture of me.
What memory is that from?
A celebration?
A holiday?
One randomly taken?
Time passess so quickly.
Tears well behind my eyes.
Look how young.
The fashion, the hair you can tell the year.
Father, Mother.
Sisters, Brothers.
Friends,...
