Possessed
I am possessed by devils; From the furnaces of Hell, they have come To torment me, I feel their unnatural heat And recoil at the stench of brimstone. Their demonic revels Make my head pound to their drum And its unceasing infernal beat, Audible to me alone. The unprecedented levels Of drunkenness...

Spring Song
The office was enveloped in an explosion of bird song, Tiny voices celebrating the return of the sun, A choral recognition that the coldest days have now gone And that the tender slide into the Spring has definitely begun. The office was enchanted by the avian choir's singing, Grey work was...

Gentle Thoughts
Just one gentle thought from you And my smile is reborn No matter how my day started Or what challenges await; A gentle thought helps me review It all and softly adorn Each trial in open hearted Joy, knowing that today is great And remembering that dreams come true At last I send back gentle...

Finding Sleep
I hear three in the morning As grandfather celebrates the hour With slow strikes of his bell From somewhere out of sight. I turn, frustrated by his warning As restlessness devours Peace and makes a mental hell Out of the gentle night. Desperate, I seek release From the fetters of my active mind...

Today I Smile
Today I smile, A gentle curve of eyes and lips That show my morning's architect Built it from joy and delight. Today my smile Bares a warmth fit to eclipse The winter sun, a tender effect Radiating Aphrodite's light. Today a smile Sneaks into my heart and slips Into my soul, making me expect The day...

The Willow's Song
In the enchantment of the forest By the beauty of the stream There grows a gentle willow Who sings there, all alone. "Oh where can my true love be, Where can he have gone? Why he is not here with me Where I stand here alone" A young man desperate for rest Comes seeking a dream, Uses her root for a...

You Are Here
The caress of the south wind Brings tender blues to replace grey And golden kisses to replace the rain Transforming the world to beautiful from drear. As the doting morning begins I feel grim depression fade away And my heart start to sing again And I know that, once again, you're here.

I Wish
Sometimes I wish that I did not believe in love, That I had not been victim to that euphoria Or been lifted by its triumphant song To see how wonderful that life can be Because then this empty moment would be enough, I would not be wrestling grey melancholia As I see the barrenness of the day and...

Breathe
I breathe your scent, The soft fragrance that speaks to me of love And life and hope, and recall the gentle anguish Of each moment that we are apart. Exhausted by such soft torment, The grey and listless moments empty of All trace of you and me, a mausoleum for this Futile reaching of my forsaken...

Staying Awake
Subtle as the snake, Sleep steals into my mind Softly stunning the senses And slowly suffocating consciousness. Desperately I awake, Knowing slumber is unkind I muster my defences Against its conscienceless Assault. I must stay alert, There is nobody to raise the alarm When I should be up and gone...
