blackbird
her dreams
shape my destiny
she sings to me
in a moment of serenity
about truth
and prosperity

The Fisherman
The fisherman
holds the net
and collects
the stars of truth
those jewels he keeps
the rest are released
back into the sea
Starry Mantle
when the night is quiet
and the world is in dreams
across the starry mantle
one’s light like candles
flickers upon the thoughts of man
Statue by the Sea
There is a statue
by the foot of Neptune
of a man/woman
who challenged the sea
but the moment
the sea touched him/her
she/he became
immortalised
by those they chose to destroy
City
the past remains
to preserve the present
their armies rest
while we toil
because if the outcome reversed
then we would be the ones
marching to our death
and they would be the ones
to meet us
The Island of the Dead
one final destination
an Island
only the dead know the way
but the living wish to visit
so that they can see
the final resting place
of their ancestors
and pay respect
but when they set sail
they found they could not return
because they too
had already paid their debt
Ruined Temple
Here once stood a temple
the columns are all that remain
of an idea
that changes
the more people see it
and when they invade your dreams
to control your future
all you can see
is the ruins
of your past
In the sky
they came
to consume each other
and their form took shape
to reveal their true intentions
turning to face me
had fear not been my ally
their gaze
would have consumed me
Lizard
when they move
through the scorching sun
to catch a prey
that cannot see them
because they make no noise
and cast no shadow
Spider
woven in
to their web of sin
a string of hope
that leads
to them
