C & K

Uncle

tall poppy syndrome
school books and mathematics
an education
laughed at for being nerdy
enjoying the quiet life

Oh, lofty youth!
’twas lusting after affairs of career
only to find
sorrow within the scales of justice

Oh, poorly, man!
methinks poverty porn be amiss
for sorrow alive
within the soliloquy to the stars

Oh, richly, gran!
surrounded by buxom beauties,
rare diamonds
frolic around my old deathbed

the blue sky, the sun
magenta saris swirling
the light festival

One crow for sorrow
an augury for the year
December’s falling

a black and white interior
smoke rings under the stars
a designer dress at home

Sparkling Merlot feelings
words spoken by red wine lips
Sweet effervescent stars

a smouldering dark gaze
effortlessly chic in the alfresco
a photo by the Hills Hoist

a shell by day
a man of flesh and blood
by candlelight

against the world by day
arriving home
in love with life by night

a love arrives
for your vespertine heart
endless night

the moon’s reflection
casting her form on the lake
a wolf steps softly

within the forest
the old gods have their options
when the humans stray
the whispering trees within
weaving their words of silence

She. A concept.
She stands over yonder. So far away.

I. A mystery.
I sit waiting by sparrows. So close.

We. Our reality.
We stand and sit in different places.

crystal clear water
They long to see Lake Baikal
vast in her beauty
The goal was to hear the ice
and to feel and to hear peace
