The complete collected works of poems, verses and lyrics inspired by thoughts and images that have travelled the corridors of my mind.
Beach
Day breaks with a high pitch
That can render you dumb
Night time falls swiftly
With air that leaves you numb
The wind howls constantly
The rain beats out its tunes
Birds fly for cover
As thunder creeps onto the dunes.
And the waves pound the shore
With ceaseless ferocity
Seagulls cry for the end of the storm
But the lull brings forth monotony
The tide ebbs without a sound
And the sands lay dead and bare
Still no one enters this paradise
And the dark secrets that lurk there.
Space
Solemn is the darkness
That glides across the moon
With steel-like fingers
That reach into the room
Cold are the grey eyes
That hang in the sky
Like distant stars
That fade and die
To open all doors
That lead to passages
Along life’s cracked floors
Hear the strange words
Of a love that’s lost
Remember the suns rays
As you count the final cost.
The Room
The room has its secrets
It lurks within these walls
The shadows creep round you
As the night time falls
Eerie footsteps tread
On imagined gloom
Impending death surrounds you
In this place called the room
No daylight can enter
These windows fail to see
But darkness glides through them
In the air hangs misery
Cracked walls stare at you
Like faces from the past
And a solitary figure
Reveals the secret at last.
