  • Choices

    Choices are difficult.
    You choose life and passion –
    of course you do!
    But there,
    in the centre,
    in the shadows and folds,
    death lurks.
    Decay of complacency,
    lack of emotional investment today
    breeds the boredom of tomorrow,
    black mold overgrowing your passion,
    smothering it in a soft, furry blanket,
    killing it through comfort,
    illusion of safety,
    abdication of control…
    To keep life
    you have to keep choosing it
    every day,
    every hour,
    every minute.
    And you do –
    of course you do –
    until you tire
    and let the mold take over.

  • My Love

    “Oh my Luve is like a red, red rose” – Robert Burns

    My love is like a red, red rose
    the flowers and thorns combined.
    The vivid beauty intertwined
    with sharpness. There is no repose.
    The colour of the velvet petals
    Evokes blood, subsists in blood.
    Ambivalence that never settles
    existed there from the bud.
    My love is like a red, red rose
    it’s in my blood least petals dry.
    In me, with me, as me it grows
    and if it dies the I shall die.

  • Colours Of Thought

    The colours of thought
    deep inside our minds,
    behind the facade –
    black, white and blood-red.
    We can sing the rainbow,
    we can paint the rainbow,
    we can talk the rainbow…
    but they remain
    behind the eyes,
    deep inside the soul,
    the colours of emotion –
    black, white and blood-red.
