Dancing Silver Light

Reflecting with
Colourful lights
Rhythm synonymous
With the gentle
Current
On the other side
While the river
Twinkling silver
Waves
Coincided with
The full moon face
Hastily moving
From behind
Scattered clouds

Time is
‘Midnight'
The crowded city is

Zig-Zag on a London Train

Shifted her
Glasses
To rest on her
Head
Closed her
Eyes
Tried to
Rest
But
In vain
On a slow
London train

The case
Is
Uneasy feelings
Uneasy posture
Uneasy place
The case

Anonymous Voices

The truth from a
Child
Watching intently
Unknown observer
Where
Death in the valley
And
Laughter from
A
‘Drunken’ soldier

‘Be killed
Or
Surrender’

Voices
Vibrate in anger
While the silence
Of weakness
Chock every soul

The Gentle Rain of Dundee

The rainbow
And a timeless game
And the echo of
An ancient name
Merge with the sound
Of an engine
Of a far away train
Dissolving
Slowly
With a song
Of sparkling
Love
Sourced from within
Unknown life
Unknown soul
Of unknown name

The gentle rain
Again and again

Just ‘Human

Reviving
Skeletons
Of past ‘incomplete'
Sweet memory
Chained their ‘lives'
As they
Always
Dreamt about
As they
Always
‘Long' desired

Fire and fire
Ignited hidden
Love and glory
Long forgotten
In a ‘childhood' story
‘Creating'
Emotional illness

Fractured Moon

Fractured moon
In a silver spoon
Dissolved into the eyes
Of awakening tiger
Then moved away
In a vanishing light
With a lunar tone

Fractured moon
Swallowed
By a flying dragon
With all fire and no fire
The fractured moon
Collapsed in doom

While the souls
Of the dead
Still roam
Closer and closer
Near the moon

This Way That Way!

Today a miracle baby is running away
In a misty foggy distant motorway
While the balloon lion is timely floating
Wishes born and dissolve straight away

Tearful eyes
Lost in space
Lost in time
Lost
The
Meaning
Of
A special rhyme
Lost
The
Meaning
Of
A new day
Lost
