Haphazard procreation
Unequal size and uneven shape.
Senseless,
yet inevitable
...

Ten little fingers
dancing across white
ivory keys,
producing sound.

in the dark sky of life,
showing the way to
a wayward stranger.
...

The breeze of life
blows gently through

Damn him, for being happy.
Damn his sense of humour!

Those who laugh have no place in our world

Play with me.
Wrap your warmth

The flowers bobbed
across the water,
helping her to attain

Absolution from war
Defiance of personal tragedy,

Progression into a state of sin
Tinkling glass falling all around
Coloured horse's galloping in crazed circle's

in remembrance of a
Fleeting memory.

You sit across the room
with pleasant sound of music
filling the room
Symphonic, electric.
...

A figure runs,
Heavy breathing
belaboured.
He zigzags a disjointed course,

A lonely emissary
Into a deep and dark
and lonely land,
Cyclopean; seeing only what can

Gently, she sighed.
Brightly, he stared.

And the broken sounds of evening
Play on scattered memories.
We look back across a divide
towards each other
