'Action'
Action Lights, camera, action run the movie, the play, the actors, a story, a plot, fiction, or not. Spring up the faces, the tears, the warnings, the morals, actions to stop, to control, the fears, to show the wonderings, knowledge, of many years. In...

'Prometheus Bound'
Prometheus Bound Hold it in your eyes, but don't touch its red hot tongues, see how, in the air it flies, and all ordinary it defies? Magic, from a higher being, take my gift to you, flock around it, but whatever you do, remember my defiance, shown in...

'Misted dreams'
Dreams steal away my eyes, cloud them with colour filled dyes, and high, yet always reachable skies. From my lips my misty breath flies, along with any sensical thoughts, reality dies. Clouded, yet clear, new, yet ancient, clammering cries, as dreams...

'Those Who Live In Our Memory' 'The Spanish Restaurant' (La Tasca)

'The photo's story', 'The memory cafe' and 'What did he say?'
Written on a shift at work, in my little waitress notebook, but hush... The Photo's story This ghostly photograph shows of gone people and changed roads. Of the life of a steeple to the dissapation of loads. Black spectres roam the wide-berthed streets,...

Bit depressing ! Written at work again. The Rain The rain passes the window, once or twice one hitting the glass and splitting into more. One water droplet down, the other now left a widow. On the glass of the door, the rain streams, the sky looks as...
