Empty buses tryndling by – watch from my balcony and sigh Empty shops Empty roads Eerily apocalyptic A war zone No bombs dropping from the sky Tis a silent creeper This grim reaper Wearing the mask of a clown Atishoo,,,Atishoo We all fall down

Footprints We make connections with people in life who touch us – but ultimately – We walk one way – one foot in front of the other- Creating footprints – in the sand – only to be washed away by the incoming tide –

She sits alone – in a nest of the hair she has shed – Naked and vulnerable – Broken wing Lays beside her – She just requires the right glue to mend her So she can fly again… She has finally found her wings – She is jumping from the nest – Newborn chick –…

I have no expectations – When it comes to close relation ships that pass in the night – Suddenly taking flight – Yet embrace the liaisons that randomly ignite- Precious surreptitious moments – Wet hair…Wet bodies entwined – Toes curling in delight – Bodies rocking in tandem – Slipping into the rhythm of the ancient…

I listen to the rain – on the roof – I hate the fucking rain!!! Most people find it soothing.. they tell me – Again and again – You must be mad!!! If you don’t enjoy… the subtle lullaby – Rocking. rocking. rocking… Even as a child – I used to put my face close…
