Dragon fish and I Met in Curries Green with envy We carefully messed with human toys I cried at empty black screens…
The Lolly Thief
We met in sunny hell with helmets on A stolen lolly Melting morals Burning hot crisp our clothes of armour “Amour” my love just watch the fire fly Fireflies dance like magpies Flying F F F effort it was to ruin flying with lying Wash those dishonest sticky fingers And toss your lolly sticks into…
Autumn
Gaps gasp A space for leaves to fall Space gawps She leaves and falls through gaps Gasp through fall because September doesn’t care Undefined uncertainty Define certainty Gaps grasped What are you doing today? Breathing…
A Little Thought on Words
Compelled to plant seeds. To ignite long sought-after feelings, creating an imaginative world in which the listener authors.

An Ode to the Ordinary
When you close your eyes on a hot summer’s day, heat radiates beneath your warm lids in ripples of thick red. When a piece of music stirs a memory, long locked away.
