THE GREATEST INVENTION They said old Albert had lost his mind, The strangest man you’d ever find. He invented things from bits of scrap, A clock that sneezed, a talking cap.

A vortex of pure black replaces what, just moments before, was a beautiful field of stars and galaxies. Void of mercy, void of care for what it claims.

THE LOVERS’ TALISMAN She wore their love close to her heart, a little talisman where their story began. He gave it to her one summer night, beneath a moon drowning in light.
THE CANDLE IN THE WINDOW The nights are drawing in again, The daylight slips away, And shadows gather quietly At ending of the day.
PERFUME She gathered rose petals at dawn, soft as the blush upon her face, and placed them in a glass bottle with patience, love, and grace.
THE DEVIL HAS YOUR FEET Upon a cold and starry night, Where every twinkle chilled the air, A lonely soul reached for the gates, Believing peace was waiting there.
THE DEVIL’S HALF-WAY PLACE There is a place, distance unknown, Between the here and gone, Where time and everything stands still, And nothing can move on.
THE THING BEYOND THE VEIL Beyond the veil of coloured lights, Halfway between the earth and sky, A lonely figure watches life, But no one knows the reason why.
I put something Where it doesn’t Belong; the “Something” and “Somewhere” Keep changing So does belonging As I forget

I live without walls above me a sky that only says yes every horizon spotlighting another possibility so I wake each day
