the red tulips...
there is a vastness here / where a small breeze, / the size of a decaying sorrow

Valentine
for all of us who know / the pain of valentines / that never came

Beyond
life lies on me like a coffin lid / the investment of a strange ventriloquism / where no one has imagined me

portent of war.....
it rains / where scattered white mists / applaud the silhouette

High by the Lakeside at Sunrise
by the lake at sunrise / a strange dedication hangs in the air / concealed in threads of mist

Pains
unendurable, long and exhausting / are the pains / presumptuous in their plenty

My Eyes
……for mine eyes are that of shadows…. shadows that don’t exist…searching out imponderable abstracts….these eyes…these emerald green colored eyes.. reveal the false tranquility of time and expectation… they can picture the veil of illusion that has fallen between me and reality…creating a painful impression of remoteness…while a blindness pulses through my blood…. my eyes beat like a blue sun from an electrically charged sky…they are my eyes….they are such as is…. would cause a step into chaos…an exodus towards the wastelands of fragmentation and depletion…. where fictions are invented daily and all Images change….. where the shadows of my eyes disappear in desperation…strung out in a black void…they cause me to take steps into the space others fear to occupy…my eyes…my emerald green eyes become inside the incantation of a new dimension….yet I am ecstatic in their awareness…..for my eyes are the windows of all the imaginations I possess….they are that shaky bridge between worlds where I take my heels…my eyes…my emerald green eyes…have chosen thus….. that both once closed to each are the opening…..the opening to me….

where the cullan trees lie
a yellowish shroud / is placed hurriedly / upon starched white sheets

the violets are dead
my heart ticks with the punctuated rhythm / of a girl busy with embroidery / i see a corpse and scrutinise all its secrets

follow the dead violets
i hear the collective understanding / of dry sticks as they crack / the shock of alarm signals
