THE CONTOUR OF LIGHT

It's Her Words (The Poetess V)

ALL OR NOTHING

HE LOVETH FOR ETERNITY

NIGHT RAMPS



INFINITY 2 ( Will the Light of Life dwindle in Time?)

ONE PURE LOVE

THE POETESS IV(Accompanying The Night)

THE VISAGE OF ARROGANCE

PRECIPICE OF FAITH

A FRAGMENT OF REGRET

HOLY FACE III

IS IT?

THE CHASM

THE RAIN

RISE LIKE THE PHOENIX

ALMOST THERE

DEATH NO MORE

NOSTALGIA II (THERE'S SILENCE)

INFINITY

THE POETESS III (Beneath Her Fingers)

A NEW FOUND LOVE

A MESSAGE TO HEAVEN ( MOTHER'S DAY TRIBUTE )

REFLECTIONS

THERE WAS NONE

IF ONLY

ON SILENCE

BRAVE HEART (REPOST)

FINALLY FREE

UNBREAKABLE

FALLEN LEAVES

IS IT AN ORDEAL ?

THE ORDEAL



In silhouettes, tattooed

Skins dance

Like fire ‘round the stones

In circles smoke arise


 Still—the moonlight


A dash of silver

And gold appease the gods

But are they

To bless or to curse-

A wrath of defeat, when

The eyes of fate

Looked the other way

Where lights flicker from

Beyond,

As innocents bewitched

By charms and magic

And faith, an ordeal to succumb

and life…

Will the gods take heed of their

Cries that once was theirs

But now their children’s

And their children’s children

Or still,

With no ears

And cold

Like the sun and moon.
