at the threshold of my eyes,
tears change the mood...
somedays they come with joy,
often they are friends to my grief.
my face
the portrayal of my mind;
my heart carries a burning ember
and soul longing for rescue...
will you lead me to bliss?

Oh, flame of the unknown. I wait until the night is born from the wounds of my feet & my bones crack with love. I stretch my body between heaven & the bloom of the olive trees.
Amor, a verse from your lips & I can die.

You’re talking but I’m dazzled by your eyes, glowing in the soft candlelight.
‘Don’t fight it’ they whisper, dancing in a kaleidoscope of green, yellow & blue. ‘Just let it happen.’

I realise you’ve asked me a question.
‘Whatever you want,’ I reply, freefalling.

It colours my world with a lambent rouge; stained glass red afterglow, faded by a too distant sun. The latter makes me aware that I have infringed on the borders too long. The consequences will be dire, but I find myself unwilling to disappoint my client. Or to refund?

The blood of never knowing
Tending to the crying child
Tending to her mother

The is still coming. It’s day 4. I can’t have long left now.

I can’t tell Mum, she has enough to worry about. So I leave her a note. I expect I’ll be gone by morning. What is wrong with me?

I hide my blood-soaked underwear with the rest & curl up to sleep.

Today I’ve set off
chasing you…
Down the deserted streets
the rain’s drab slips
how pointless
this sliding
into the mirrors of memory...

Hark to the cries of runes
they call from archaic tombs,
tales of spite & doom

Sigils, how they glow
warning of sins we sow,
& the that bellows

She spins the hex of forever
draped in skin, her rever,
incantations for the clever

The flames,
they wait, however..

Alone and defenceless he took her
left her bleeding and
No longer pure
In the morning light
she knew what she had to do
his would flow
she would even the score
Revenge is the spur
Only the cold light of death will cure

the mighty rears
Silvery see through scales sparkling in the moonlight
A silent roar preceeds a plume of cold flame
Deadly if he still lived
He blinks in surprise at our continued existence
Lucky for us he's a dragon

When you lost the compass
and the trust in life
When you still don't know
what is wrong and right
search inside
The Star is just your heart.

the midnight skies of the

the sun sits in the palm
of my hand

a

blooming
like tears in a rainforest
and

in my heart

a
of the known, and unknown
and

of the path I finally chose to take home

Under the of the angel
I sheltered my soul
Away from the pitiless remorse
That was dragging me to the
To the place where the sun rays
Fell asleep for eternity.

Split into
dark light
and white shadow
the image of you
It is said
that love knows
not centuries
I will hold the memory
And you will hold
the map
the legend
and the puzzle’s key

When east is and is east they will come.
One among them knew what this meant. On Tuesday the 33rd of Decuary 2097 the wise one awoke. He stared in horror, his compass spinning this way and that.
“They have come,” his fragile voice croaked.

...Far east? Have you been to RiverHill? The settlement by the first ever river known to man, & the last ever mountains to sprout from Earth. There, old mixes with new. Magic mixes with the real. Witches and angels live among men. Why..even I'm from that town"

"I have been to its strangest corners" said the traveler "To the Flaming Mountains of Forever Doom, to the great wide Sea of Ten Thousand Dipped Moons, to the Desert of Falling Stars"

"I see" said the talking tree "But have you been east? ...

was always
on my mind,

Then,
the Westerlies
swayed, &

brought me back
to my homeland
In the east...

I now travel
to and fro
in the season
of you...
