A sinking suburb.
Rain days, floodwaters rising.
My footprints, erased.

Footprints long gone and
Bones buried deep within the
soil, unknown to man.

The touch of its light,
brings warmth to all around it,
bringing everyone joy.

He brings so much joy
Stuffed in a large red bag; bells
Ring softly like stars.

Sinking like the moon
Those big eyes like pizza pie
Out of amore

out of the clamour -
white noise that rattles my ears -
I can hear quiet.
When you're faced with something you don't understand, I think the most natural thing but also least interesting thing you can be is afraid.

seeping through the tiny cracks
of old picture frames

These old picture frames
are hollow now, memories
faded long ago.
you should know i am a time traveler &
there is no season as achingly temporary as now
but i have promised to return

faded long ago
in the labyrinth of time
and lost forever.
I only put my signature on big cheques.

stars lost forever,
outshined by constellations,
forgotten in dark.

Forgetting the dark,
I soak in syrup gold and
let the light warm me.

Birds too far to hear,
Only see their wings - rise, fall,
long to hear them sing.

I long to hear the
song of bubbling laughter and
feel its gentle hug.
