Melancholy

Lack of Presence
breezes
Dead Bird
collapse
Origami Woman
Kindling
Supping on My Soul
The Famished Muse
A Voyage Made in Vain
The Well is Dry
Mascara
My Incubus
Fear is My Governess
It's All the Same to Me
My Life's Garment
Partial Silence
Out of Synch
Green Queen
Old Wetsuits
Malevolence
The Seasons of My Heart
The Occasion of My Birth
Memories
These Shadowed Lines
A Seaman's Daughter
Four Birds of Prey
I Always Worried
Sweet Oblivion

Lost Loves
Phantoms

Reared Within a Prison
Deep Blue John

Apology Not Accepted

*Home*

   It's All the Same to Me

Life curtsied low, left a rose –
strolling past, I watched it die.
Petals do conceal their thorns;
but I know flowers lie.

Death bowed for me, left a weed –
deliberately, I took the bait.
Ugly roots display the truth;
there’s honesty in hate.

Yet, life or death, it matters not -
each needs the buzzing bee.
Plants thriving here or dying there;
it’s all the same to me.
