In a paternal voice the honour
The privilege the responsibility
Bestowed upon those who choose
To enter the sacred domus
Of the divine a shelter
From perdition solitude
Sin and hatred, Do you believe

My dear fish
My dear fish many moons have shined
Upon me and my awkward feelings,
Sun has set over our past shadows
Ebulliently swimming and swirling
In the river once crystal sapphire
Now turbid and irremediably black
I lost you, your golden … CONTINUE READING »
Split Seconds
Split seconds like drops of water
Beget the ocean shape a life.

Impressions eliciting emotions
Triggering reason to grasp,

Lost in Greenwich

On the theatre of future shame,
No spectator is absolved
No extenuating circumstances

Multifarious species, extempore
Enhancement of traits and … CONTINUE READING »
