a longing for home
we return to our childhood
rose coloured glasses
artificial memories
a longing for something else

Rain Longing
light rain starts and stops
to hear the heavy rainfall
distant memory
many cursed the rainy days
the cost of our ignorance
More Time
only nature moves
the segmentation of time
whispering your lie
you try to create more time
cheating yourself out of life
Cats + Hunger
the crinkling wrappers
cats meow in unison
an endless hunger
falling into a nightmare
reality overload
What are we becoming?
From behind the blinds
Watching the way the world turns
Feelings of censure
Whispering affirmations
Freedom slowly bleeds away
Innocence
swept away from there
last seen running in a cloak
shadows and the sea
the lighthouse keeper worries
a vision of innocence
Green
plants in the office
reaching for the pinnacle
watching the plants die
the boss wants to have a word
the colour green is too much
Flowers
an urge for flowers
gigil at the croaking frogs
dance to the birdsong
throw your clothes to the four winds
unconstrained at the gardens
Soul Lake
a brooding still lake
pervasive thoughts overcome
all who see the lake
the dead wait in the dark depths
for the living to join them
The Swamp
they said drain the swamp
noises echo from the deep
they woke the dragon
fuming from the insolence
guarding his precious treasure
