a room full of clowns --
painted smiles and canned laughter
but not so much fun

electronic sheep
going down one by one
with each clock tick

pitch black
darkness all around
but I see you

it breaks my heart
that you need to go away --
goodbye summer

hidden from view
just beyond the horizon --
the moon she longs for

as the rain pour down
he feels the sky on his face --
kissed by heaven

bleep bleep bleep

goes the life support system --

life's captive just waits

red, yellow and blue
party balloons fly away --
teary eyes look on

the fire fades away
and darkness takes over --
hour of the wolf

a cup of dreamwine
and some milk of the poppy --
the king sleeps tonight

the wounds may heal
the pain will always remain --
a stab in the back

dining alone
on a table for two --
a date with self

a fork in the road --
difficult as it may be
here we say goodbye

eyes to the sky
desperate for shooting stars --
a thousand dreamers

fade to black --
blowing out the candles
one by one

disappointment --
gazing at infinity
with a broken heart

the child remembered
carousels and ferris wheels --
cotton candy dreams

a fickle sky
inviting yet threatening --
september rains

memories of her --
bitter sweet and delicate
like dark chocolate

a page-turner
cover to cover so quick --
one life over

lost train of thought --
walking along the railroad
confused engineers

fallen from grace --
temptation of angels
inexorable

to her ear
heartbreaking words whispered --
a tear falls

downpour at midday --
street streaming with raincoats
and steaming hot pho

sign of life --
in a yard of broken things
a flashing LED

celebration --
a banquet in her honor
she watches her watch

grit and painkillers
keep the climber climbing
a mountain of pain

a crowd of people
go about daily routines --
familiar strangers

an innocent bird
sings the saddest song ever --
prisoner for life

dewdrops
on a blade of grass --
first light

spellbound --
the wicked witch
is pretty

midnight in the fields --
six men and four little greys
running in circles

audio tripping --
discovering yesterday
in vinyl records

discreet encounter --
with a kiss a deal is struck
not a word spoken

sunshine and downpour --
a pretty ballerina
dances in the rain

a cat and mouse game --
if hunter or the hunted
the cat is unsure

dropping the doubt --
allowing the miracle
a chance to happen

padded cell
for twenty eight days --
felt like home

a picture of you
forever my companion --
now fading away
