Towards the centre of the beach the sea becomes opaque,
The sand churned up by the waves and the greater depth ...

Roads on Time's Landscape

...We navigate life's stanza's quirky rhyme,
as through obscuring fog we strain to see 
two well worn roads on the landscape of time. 
One leads through the mist of what's yet to be,
revealing lofty...

A Wilderness of Mirrors

...
An unearthly fog thickens nocturnal’s peaceful aura.  
Scents of lamenting petrichor mix with slick, decomposing leaves.

We had trekked for miles and the way was wearisome,
heavy fog in its obscuring fidelit...

By a portrait on the wall
By eyes that will not let me be
The man who went instead of me
and took the fall.

Haunted
By the ship I set in motion
Watching with disbelief
when it hit t...

Better Tomorrow

...Burning sun departing
ember of its fire 
graying
as autumn leaves
spent 
and blown by wind 
of confusion
obscuring clarity of truth
opacifying colors
muting sounds
masking fragrance
boredo...

Driving alone in the Monts de Blond

...I drive alone down misty roads
where the morning’s frost still lingers
on the earth, grass, leaves unreached
by the feeble winter sun 
whose fingers slowly withdraw
into the white blankness
of ...

SHE ALONE IN THE DARK WITH THE UNIMAGENABLE PLACE
