The silence that the darkness brings Is erubescent in the night Dusk awakens, the darkness springs To the lively sun when light As my heart’s skin is shed in day Attitude is centripetal Twilight comes with tranquil focus You are my child in the lotus.

My bird
The bird seemed to follow my roving eye As he walked beyond where I lie He seemed to know, with eye I spy – Sitting there that day. He never seemed to have a care No matter for how long I stared Or how controlling was my glare He was there, it seemed, to stay […]
The lifeline
Once the lifeline gave to me A chance to start again I couldn’t turn back away I couldn’t say just when The world had come to greet me The earth had come to see Whatever it offered as reward Was what we’d keep for free But how did we get that reward That […]
Swings and round-a-bouts
Happiness found in day at Fair, Worry left at home. Sadness knocking on neighbour’s door As Concern’s left lying on the floor. Excitement joins Happiness at the Fair – Anxiety lost along the road – Sleeplessness found in another’s bed – Loneliness’ is Gloom – Gloom sees red. Delight joins his friends at […]

Words, they drew me unto you An easel read to me A letter, brush A page, a stroke Mono-syllabically Delight, to write A bird, in flight A feather on the floor Chapter, aloud In front of crowd More come through open door Sit anywhere Drawn to share On easel is a portrait […]
Tomorrow, today
Every day I live Is yesterday for me A life half gone – but Yet to begin Every day I live Is tomorrow, newly found A life, renewed to Live without, within Twenty-four hours Passes by Today’s tomorrow now A life I dreamt But never thought Would come Three days ago Was […]

A butterfly, resting on flower Wings fluttered, quiet hour I turned away, the colour foiled Butterfly had flown away A dog lay, forever, by my side Recovered from energetic […]
Black hole
I look over my shoulder, bare To see what lay beyond Sensing what I’d lost What had been and gone Gone before I knew What I’d lost for good Lost in black hole, left behind An object, that I should Have thought of more Have thought to store In memory of kind […]
