The beautiful summer
A warm summer afternoon, miles from home, alone;A girl sits on a swing, lost in reverie.The long ropes creak as she disects the air in a lazy arc,Like the pendulum of a mighty metronome,Slowing down time beneath the stately oak tree.Out here, the Earth […]
Eurydice in the half-light
The last light is fading away,The last birds sing before the dark.We are here in a beautiful garden,Somewhere between today and tomorrow, The path is a maze of twists and turns, The scent of lavender floats in the warm air,Intoxicating every breath we take,The […]
The Road To Ruin
Nothing lasts but not all is lost,We leave our presence in space and time,We are a memory of an echo, we are shadows, we are dust,Pulvis et Umbra Sumus, as Horace told us once.When all is done and endless sleep is all we have […]

Every day the world goes a little more insane. Every day the light gets a little darker. Every day the intellectual pygmies of political governance bend their weak and feeble knees to the even more intellectually bereft Marxist/Fascist pygmies of intolerance who shout and […]
One Song
Look into the silver air, beyond us all – one song. Listen to the distant sky, silent music for the eyes. Here – on earth – the air is a nebula of vibrations, an infinite orchestra, one symphony of sonance. We swim in a […]
“Hell is empty and all the Devils are here”
The War of the Words is upon us. William Shakespeare – the most brilliant playwright and poet of the English language. His plays are performed and studied in schools all over the world, his language is magnificent, his plays immortal. But hark! What sulphurous […]
You and I
Under the dark of a sky full of rain we walk into the mystic, you and I. There is nothing above and nothing below, there is only the here, where we are. You and I. Watching the light disappear, watching the lonely souls walking, […]
Waiting For Gordon
A perpetual tragi-comedy in one act Vladimir and Estragon are hanging around, having a chat… Vlad-“If only my Mother could see me now” Est – “Why?” V-“Because the road to hell is paved with good intentions” E-“That’s deep” V-“Not really, it’s just because you’re […]
