POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Along a weed blossom lane - a rift in time
A rift in time
Split a man in two
Two men emerged
On opposite sides
Of an iridescent fissure
The second man
A young man heading north east
Not knowing who he will become
After the wilderness of youth
A spiritless well paid career?
Failures and success
Ebbing fulfillment?
Marital acquiescence
Fatherly responsibilities
Accepted…run from…shirked?
The first man
An old man heading south west
Smiled as he forgot who he was
The fog was kind
Wandering to the grave ...

Customer profiles
We are all capable of being assholes (Me especially). But if you are working behind a till you can't escape them.
The Good Customer
Comes in, picks something, brings it to the till, pays and leaves. May say thanks, but thanks is only necessary, if the till attendant has packed their bag or carried something heavy.
The Lonely Customer
Comes in, takes a long time picking something, stands at the till and begins to tell their entire life story, from birth up until the present. Then begins on the present state of affairs. After a long one-way conversation, in...

The Queen of the Damned
He gave away his fleeting life
For the midnight kiss of spring
The queen of the damned he kissed
On Persephone’s dark rose lips
The kiss of a mortal man
Towards the earth, He drifted up
On the zephyrs of her exhale
Before he reached the ground
The hands of Hades seized him cold
Pulling him down to Hecate
To join the ghosts of Asphodel
Persephone could not forget his lips
His soul she placed inside her palm
She turned him into meadow's hay
And planted his heart inside an oak
Every year the kiss of...

Astral Shores beyond the second Sun
Moon and sun merge
To relieve the sleeping night
lean Nomads wander astral shores
Where black diamond tides
Mirror the stars lost under the second sun
Time slows the dawn
Time slows the dusk
Long enough to feel
The movement of the earth
To relieve the sleeping night
lean Nomads wander astral shores
Where black diamond tides
Mirror the stars lost under the second sun
Time slows the dawn
Time slows the dusk
Long enough to feel
The movement of the earth
