LIFE AND DEATH

Perusal for facts, a kind of epiphany.
Launching faces and glazed apparages.
Ice-cream coverings of cloud lined rain-drops.

Yellow pristine gods, launched into chaos
Glancing at retrospective, spirits flying.
Attempts to refrain, bouncing balls.

Offerings accepting fluid.
Draining rains and lemon-grass pure
Affording grave-stones, no effects.

A GATEWAY OF A DREAM...

A gateway of a dream
A furtive nature, enhancing forests.
An animal asleep in grasslands of gold.
A vegetable gently plucked.

Tetchy feelings, nippy and swirling.
Light permeating porous circles.
Blue, vermillion an exasperated stranglehold
Swimming oceans, tea-cups spilling.

Blue of nirvana,
Cloud of amber, holding through the sky
One condensed hallucination
Men in black, quieting rooms.

OCEAN DEEP AND PURPLE HUE...

Ocean deep and purple hue
Overlook, the sharks and fish anew
Change to air and breathe in depth
Transcend its grace and earth abound.

Leaves of colour so graceful nimble.
Open buds on spring's awakening.
Fresh for grace, we see the nurturing
Opening days and dawning skies.

FLORAL RAIN

Dullen daisy dew-drop
Pitter-patter raindrop.
Glancing venetian.
Slitted slanted surreptitious.

Bright yellow daffodils.
Oceanic green surround.
Azure tinted tear.
Glistening at the petals.

Burgundy begonia
Maple-leaf syrup.
Abundant flora flourish
Earth's resounding ebb.

DRAKES

Drakes a party scene.
Dancing hopping madness.
Screeching, slamming, jumping.
The guitars wail into the night.

Swishing swirling skating.
Drinking you under the table.
Glances, nudges and flirtations,
Amidst the bodies' hum.

Dark and urban stronghold.
The people have come to measure
Their taste for adventure.
Singing songs of the proletariat.
