Lead paned windows
beam shafts of coloured light
dust motes floating
spiral upwards
released from
captive carpets
flee

Wintered

in winter
the earth becomes
hard & mean
won't allow my summer flowers
even stops
the grass green growing
making months
out of hours

vows

i didn't turn out
as you expected
characteristics
you detected
let down your dreams
of how "we'd" be
as is the same
for me
what will we do

Summer

clothed by the sun
i walk in joy
moontides
ebb

Eileen Prunster Jul 2012

we

i look at myself
and see
someone else
which one
is me

Eileen Prunster Jul 2012

your eyes have gone
now without sight
i walk alone
in this
the night

Eileen Prunster Jul 2012

Dissolve

full moon
on the beach
altar to prayers
i sacrifice
vain hopes
and climb
stars
stairs

There is nothing quite like standing on a deserted beach under a full moon
