Empty House

Have I lived 
For so long 
Only to die
Of old age,
Alone in an empty house.

The ugly toad 
Kissed by a beautiful princess

As if 
To remind me 
Of past sorrows, 
The plaintive cry of a curlew 
In the distance.

Fell from a tree
And struck Newton 
On the head,
Now we understand gravity.

The Spire

Plumb 
Dead-center
In the heart of the city 
A silver spire
Pointing to the heavens.

Black and White

Conditioned 
To think this way 
I see the world 
In black and white 
No shades of grey.

A war veteran
Who fought bravely 
For his country 
The lonely old man 
Who lives next door.

He suffered and died
For the sins

Open-top convertible 
Zooming along

Dougie

An old
Black and white dog
Lies on the floor 
At my feet, 
Content, how soundly he sleeps.

Autumn

Autumn 
Fallen leaves 
Brown and golden 
On the bare green earth,
Purged of summer's excess.

Little Robin

Little robin 
Outside my window 
Sprightly hopping 
Along the hedgerow 
Red breast in the snow.

Urban sprawl 
The neon-bright skyline 
Towers over
The sleeping city,
Metropolis in full bloom.

Even the flowers 
On the table
At my bedside 
Are wilting and dying,
This cold autumn night.

Proverbs

After reading 
The proverbs of Solomon 
I carry the light 
Of ancient wisdom 
Into a dark world.
