An exercise book
Whose blank pages still echo
Infinite silence

Dog barks at seagulls
Deadline passes unfulfilled
I am still alive

Lost in scent of tea
Old memories awaken
Find golden sunrise

In early morning
Doe eyes follow our passing
Three deer by the sea

Whisper

Your name
It whispers
Through the trees,
Between the boughs
And in the leaves.
It whispers,
Whispers,
Everywhere;
But when I look
You are not there.

Can’t help wondering
If running round in circles
Is going nowhere

What if?

Infinity pauses

For a moment
To ponder
Which route

The universe
Stops

Diverges

Each moves on

Life
Indecisive
Plays all hands

4.30 am

Here in the dark before the dawn
The streets are filled with those who mourn
Warm softness of a welcome bed
A cosy place to lay our heads
We beggars all who silent pray
Hoping life will turn our way

The birds which after light will hide
Now cocophanous do cry
With their song I too will weep
For now is surely time to sleep
Not time to wend my lonely way
From empty bed to empty day.

Laughing at our pain
Light up resident demons
Born of our own hands

One day
You will
Stop looking

One day you will.
Stop looking!

One day you will stop looking.
