A collection of 45 haiku and 109 poems, divided into two sections: light and shade.
Example poems:
**LIGHT
As the world moves on**
See
The sea
Rising high
An endless sigh
A yawn upon the dawn; he stands and waves
Waiting, his mind adrift on the blue waves
Lost in her scent
His heart sent
He turns
Yearns.
**SHADE
The smell of sour**
She’d smelt it all her life
The rusted scent
Of strewn dust
Making it all melt
This stench lifted
Curling like old paint
Wet to the touch
Bitter to taste
It followed her
In a cloud of waste
This reminder of old
When it sounded
This ancient bell
The heady mariner
Came carrying his shroud
Bereft of any knowledge
Of its meaning
In silence he drifted
Into the outer realms
Where the dead pound
Ageless and unborn
Their endless ache
He lies without
Breath or word
As silent as the sea
Turned sour.
My other poetry books are Kaleidoscope (poetry), Life's Rhythms (haiku) and Travelling Light (poetry – free).
