Simplified as Shades,
Complexities of Colours,
Oppressed by the Shades.

Soft colours play in the light,
her figure once so near to me.
Scattered sunlight plays my heart,
her figure vanishes from my sight.
So near to my younger skin –
now, I’m so old.
I stand in the Satie sounds –
no longer young.
Flower ripples
Bursting flowers
Moving in waves across the field
Colours of blossoming spring dance
Sunshine brighter than the light
Colours
From a black and white world, you showed me there are colours.
You opened the door to another world; a world no longer black and white.
Now you touched me with colours, I will never see the world the same.

In Pieces
you come to bed at midnight in pieces
many colours on your vitreous skin move
you might be made of glass in this light
mookaite skin colours move and change
you caress me as we become colours
The Colours
There’s a way with the clouds today. As night approaches, there’s grey, white, blues and pinks.
Anna never gets used to the sky colours, forthose colours make her feel things. Old and new things. Dark and light things.
The sea is out over the cliffs. Tonight it’s still, which is odd. Although cool, there’s this mist hovering. “How peculiar”, Anna thinks, “It’s probably nothing.”
Walking into the house sends a strange chill down her spine. Something’s changed, but not for the better. The light doesn’t help.
Anna mutters in reassurance to only herself, “I’m not scared. It’s nothing. No one can hurt me now…not now…”
The rattling begins. Soft then harder, light then thunderous; it’s as if the house has taken on a life of its own.
Anna screams inwardly, for words no longer escape her lips. Terror grips her heart and then crushes her lungs. Struggling through, she sees three ladies standing before her in 1920’s dress. Their faces sneer and laugh, as they pull her forward. The rattling again. They laugh at her. The rattling comes. They smash her head against the wall. The rattling echoes.
Anna asks, “Where am I now?”
In unison, they playfully answer, “You’re with us now whether you like it or not.”
