I waited for the snowfall but finally when it came the snowflakes melted in the air before they reached the ground and all remained the same. I waited for the sunshine but when I finally caught a beam it had […]
A Rock for a Diamond
When settled down you had enough and thought you couldn’t bear the thought of staying in one place, that you’d for lack of longing lose your mood – So off you chased, new to peruse, not noticing that as you […]
Seams of Reality

Monochromatic
The world seen through your eyes a unity some swarm of flies humanity no boundaries exist in your mentality Monochrome it seems to me – your colours I cannot perceive – this entity you claim to see as ubiquity My […]
