A Walk down the Tunnel
“Darkness does embalm;
All things, getting calm,
Produce an eerie feeling;
Can it serve with a healing?”
“Aye, aye, sure, sure!
Such feelings do us lure,
To approach its end.”
“Can we reach, my friend?
The tunnel’s too long;
With the bats’ screeching song,

A Hexed MirrorIn a hexed mirror's gaze, fate twists and turns,
A tangled dance of it's designs,
Each step a labyrinth, and each path it spurns,
As victims caught within its veiled confines.
Reflections fractured, and Moira's refrain,
Echoes of choices made...

Not RealI, as paper man
in paper town,
grey, saw
a cardboard cut-out
of a mirror,
the reflection
was a busy world
it didn't look real,
those colours
and restaurants

Mirror in heartIf there’s in heart a small mirror,
What need there’s for a wall mirror?
Heart would reveal your veiled intent,
Let no dust befall on mirror.
One that conceals human conceit,
We never can call a mirror.
But...

MirrorIt’s just me in there.
Not smiling.
In the mirror,
A piece of glass which is not some passing phase.
A hallucination,
Which is continuous.
Blurring,
Crooked, and emotionless.
Mirrors are everywhere in this world....

dead endAnd there you sit -
contemplating a word,
the other one wrote
that you read,
that they -

that thought
arrived
in your own time,
it came...

when the stars of heaven appear, we'll know what to do
Yesterday's reflection is a changeling my friend
So let's hang on...

small exorcismsWhen your heart
corresponds
with your mind,
then, give it a shot,
you write
back to me
what expressions
you so badly
need
to bleed;
the characterisation
of letters

to me, child's play,
peeling tattoos
like bells...

Finding What Was Lost“It’s in there!”
The frizzy haired woman insisted with mirth in her eye.
“But, how?”
I asked beseechingly.
She gave a mischievous laugh from impish lips in reply
And then skipped merrily on her way.
The most precious thing...

Within the White NoiseHave you ever pondered
shadows are made of
softness, they are not
hard surfaced like
those of us existing
outside of the white noise
unable to grasp -
the invisible,
that speak meaning to us,
whispering their sagacious...
