Winter In The Sky
Steady beats the pulse of the sun
Wonder still leaps from its beams
Yet beneath a mask of bonhomie
That sad star is not what it seems
Watching its favourite run to waste
Hot tears escape that burning eye
Bound by nature to fry its offspring
Torch forests, put winter in the sky
What treasure this greedy satellite
Down the ages pillaged from space
Squandering ...

Love
Love,
Love is like the sky on a rainy day trying to show the sun
the sun peaking in the sky waiting its turn
they fight until one of them has won
once the fight is won it all is forgotten
what the fight was about has faded and the rainbow appears
giving beauty to the grounds exterior.

Tenant Of The Sea
He witnessed the rise and fall of the tides
Of the sea that seemed so milky in the moonlight.
Gloating over its graceful strides,
The rumble of the colossal sea was all he could hear that silent night.
The stars twinkled in the darkness,
And the moon in the blackness
Gazed dotingly at him and his boat,
As the decrepit carrier carted its master swiftly afloat.
How long had he been at the ...

Sunsets Are For Walking Into
I always took the sky for granted
Never really cared about the stars
Stuck strictly to the daily round,
Women and booze and fast cars
Sunsets are for walking into with you
At last I see the magic in the sky
Sunsets are for walking into with you
How did sunsets ever escape my eye?
You taught me about love and nature
How they go hand in hand together
Giving lo...

What Lies Above And Below Us
Far above us
The sky bursts into colours-
Blue, purple, grey, orange,
With red and all the hues in its range.
Miles beneath our feet
Are secrets buried,
Arcane and deep.
Their ampoules once known to everybody.
What goes overhead
Suffuses stars and their milky shells.
The departure from earth melancholic but serene,
Leaves behind shimmering trails that spe...

Clouds Dancing in the Sky
Looking up at the clouds so high
Watching colors stretch across the sky
As they combine and spread apart gracefully
An ever-changing work of art slowly slips by
As the sun first wakes
Golden hues are painted on the tips
I’m struck by the beauty
How lucky I am to be a witness
As the sun slowly dances across the sky
The image changes as clouds come and go
Feat...
