gazelle ghazal
Quiet as a hart in the forest
She’s tiptoeing, his tame gazelle
With caribou songs she serenades -
Are his ears deaf to his tame gazelle?
He looks about, antlers challenging
An elk blinded by his tame gazelle
With springbok start, did he notice?
She’s whispering, his tame gazelle
The antelope are all stampeding
Yet she stands sto...

ghazal - under grass
The lane winds on, it’s overgrown with grass
Too dark for daisies, ivy crawls through grass
The rusty swing stands creaking like a ghost
The rabbit hutch sits empty in the grass
The gate hangs off its hinges, hesitates
Mildew adorns glass panes, like slimey grass
Children don’t come now, keeping a secret
Sweets are no longer hidden in the gras...

Carbon copy daguerreotype posing with her Fibonacci swirl
Cut her cloth to fool him, stared at mirrors, scared herself, made her hair curl
Tricked him, jilted him and then ...

ghazal ( snow for me)
Oh come through swirling tempests of snow for me
I’ll warm your hands, leave your gloves of snow for me.
Rivulets fashion into veins of crystal
A mathematician out of snow for me.
Glass hexagons on ivy sprigs crack and freeze
In rubix cubes made of ice and snow for me.
The blood red sun is my evening candle flame
And thunder the tympani of sn...
