15.01.2022 Floating in the dreams of youth, in the seas of endless possibility, my spirit was abducted by a girl of witching looks. Her lustrous hair framing soft, pale features.... You laughed at me but kindly. Unlike the others, who’d deigned to while away their time. Amused at my naivety, they'd toyed with me, strummed at my emotions. I revelled in your laughter, seduced by your affection. Enamoured by your sylph-like form all my defences, down were torn, my soul was yours to hold. You bound me with your sweet love, given without reserve or any claim laid. Bestowed on me unfettered access to your heart, your self, your soul, too. I, well smitten, just assumed this fire would burn untended. Indeed it did for quite a while. You seemed happy, quite contented. Your life, I thought, complete. Until the day I saw you, as through a watery veil. Your face was faded, pale as snow, your eyes gazed from too far away. My heart began to tear. How could you leave me this way? Had I not done quite enough to shackle you with chains of gold, of lace, of perfumes, of pleasure? Now all is less than dust. As now in rest, I view your lustrous hair and iv'ry skin, I see again the witching youth, who stole my heart, my love, my life; who now has stole my dreams. See more

11.01.2022 How old is the sea? Pounding, forever hammering the rock. Eons since it stripped every shred of soil and vegetation. Only granite could withstand this onslaught. Yet even it yields to the insistent wearing of the endless swells. The sea’s fingers seeking out hidden flaws, monotonously gouging, prying at weaknesses, tearing away grain by grain until cracks form and the ending is begun.

10.01.2022 Long ago, there was melancholy, a sense of loss. A sweet, sad, lingering yearning for I know not what. I missed, I missed... but what was it I missed? The womb, another world, the joy of total knowing? Post-partum sadness perhaps, at manifestation of being? ... For some time now, the melancholy has gone, departed. And in its place, what? Vacuum, an unfathomable void. An emptiness, as deep as nowhere, as wide as forever. Yet now, there appears a visible coast, a sliver on the horizon. A lighthouse draws me, promising anchorage in this vast unknown. Fear of time's passing, of a sudden, o'errun by certainty of home. How swiftly clamouring doubts willingly cede to the grace of age. A grace suspected, not anticipated; a promise ne'er believed. But why so certain, why not another mirage in this sea of vagary? Because there has to be, there must be a home. Are you sure? See more
