***

full moon
gossamer scarf
round her neck
trailing
into the night sky

***

they
passed
in the dark night
neither knowing
the meeting that should have been

***

willow branches
painted all the stars
in the night sky
but
was too tired to paint the moon

***

the cemetery
is quiet
too quiet
for the occupants
down below…

***

 
***

it
was there
in the corner of the attic
the
shadow

***

the wind
on
the mountain
blew
the sun into darkness

***

the shadow
in
the doorway
watches
the footfalls

***

the moon
lay on her back
relaxing
on soft green feather bed leaves
of scented mimosa

***


***

she stood
on
the edge of darkness
stepped out
into the stars beyond


***

they both ran
barefoot
round the standing stones
a farmer with shotgun
eyed us suspiciously

***

starlings
sitting on the phone line
chattering
drowning out
the human speech within the line

***

the wind/blew the letters
off the book page she was reading
the trees caught them
and wrote
new meanings in the sky

***

the stones
in
the road
a casting
of runestones

***

dry river bed
waits
for thunderstorm
flesh coloured stones
sorted by size

***

at
the close
of a dull, rainy day
the sun
shines briefly

***

the sky filled with ravens
suddenly
they were gone
soft raven feathers fell
covering the ground in black snow

***

opening
in
ancient hedge
an overgrown trail
with hawthorns either side..

***

a shower
of rain
cats hopping
all over the garden
chasing after the frogs

***

from
beyond the grave
she left a message
written in the daisies
scrawled across the grass


***

what was
on the other side
of the rain?
the child stepped through
to find out...

***

fragments
of fear
fitting together bit by bit
an enormous
jigsaw puzzle

***


***

the story
still
waiting
to
be written

***

stained glass windows
brighter
than reality
dazzling
when the sun shines through

***

your touch so gentle
smiles and love
and contentment
the moment
goes on

***

losing happiness
he was bitter
and twisted
no-one else
was allowed to be happy

***


***

the
petrified
forest
dark castles
loom

***

child
shut
her eyes
and saw the pictures
deep within

***

the child
wandered
for hours on the beach
the sea
watched out for her

***


***

curling wisps
of white
leaving for the light
the body
a shell

***

clouds
of
eternity
whispering
your dreams

***

be
aware
of
now
spontaneity

***

so
whether
I
missed
something?

***

university
of
books
now
university of internet

***

no colours
no forms
the mind
now
blank

***

ethereal
and
dreamlike
she swam back
to source

***


***

a path
between two people
they never met
but
the path remained

***

everything
speaks
everything listens
can you hear them?
do you listen?

***

the shadows
closed in on them
until
all
was dark

***

as she
stepped
into the dream
the door
slammed shut

***


***

she
opened doors
in her mind
that she had not visited
for years

***

 the tongue
 stuck out
 of the letterbox
 eagerly
 waiting for letters

***

the puppet
hanging
on the wall
lifted his head
and watched

***

the pathways
on the other side
of the mirrors
leading everywhere
and nowhere

***

staring
back
at you
a face
in the mirror

***

they looked
at the child
that was so different to them
and changed themselves
to be with her

***
