Already then a margin

Already then a margin

Already then a touch of gold

Already then a kindness

With the nerve of growing old

Already then the chagrin

Already then a letter to say no

Already then a hardness

With the debt of nervous bold

Would you choose the simple

Or the abstract form

Would you rather find a meaner muse

It was more than a ruse

Yet how did it lose its way

Would you prefer to cruise

Without paying your dues

Limitations

Love Working With Who You Are

Did one lead

Did one follow

Did one make life clear

Did one leave a life confused

Available from Amazon 

Clock :: Abstract Form

Spaces, between faces

Lines in the sand

Will you wait for me

Will I wait for you

A longer stretch

Approaching a biography

Dipping in

Dripping out

Did you notice my discomfort

Did I notice yours

The yin and the yang of it

The tick and the tock of it

Chases, between places

Defined by plans

Will you hesitate for me

Will I be obdurate for you

Available from Amazon 

Clock :: Simple Form

A car drives by

Soon its sound is gone

The kitchen tap drips

I wait for the next drop

My lead scratches the paper

I cannot keep it quiet

Yet I may soon silence it completely

My thoughts buzz

That is you in my subconscious

The walls are free of wallpaper

Instead they are adorned

With copies of impressionist masters

Portraits in imitation gilt frames

There are electric candle-lights

To illuminate the Roman numerals
