No Such Light

From my Raven Collection

No Such Light

Ā 
Raven came, he came a tapping
like a thousand times before
I do not want to see him rapping
death has come to door once more
Ā 
I beg to differ, I shan't glance
you see my raven,Ā doesn't danceĀ 
tapping rapping full of somber
I shan't glance, my life no longer
Ā 
black as space I cannot seeĀ 
there is no angel here with meĀ 
Raven came he came a tapping
tapping on my prison doorĀ 
Ā 
as if I called him here to me
death is here, it’s here to see
ring the bells, it's time to ponder
life and death and all its wander
Ā 
Raven now inside my headĀ 
black is night it's time for bed
I won't sleep within sweet slumber
I won't close my eyes this night
Ā 
open mind free to wonder
why my life has no such light.

Get up from the gutter

Life with Trash

Put your fear

in the rubbish bin

where it belongs

it will instantly be recycled...

Painted On

I have found that sometimes
Evil is hidden
by the reflection of pure love.

Today's Trend is

Serious frown etched in sunscreen
Nails gleaning cherry red
Like a bomb checking it's fuse...

Under rainbows

Revised

You make me want to be sweet with you.
We'd make love and you'd never come

But you would...
