Happy New Year

for war torn countries
may the new year bring an end
to the slaughter and mayhem

discovered match blue bottom lap love
lost breath drowning dressed mirror mine








it was discovered
years later
they were an exceptional couple
mirror images of each other
dressed to kill
a brilliant match
a gold mine of potential
successful
living in the lap of luxury
until they lost everything

they boarded a boat
took a deep breath
 and scuttled it to the bottom of the ocean blue
drowning themselves
love eh !

Sunday Scribblings 2

get thee behind me satan
the moon is low
i can't say no
come new year
the jeans will burst i fear
to weight watchers
i will go
ho ho

For unto us a Child is born - Handel

Es ist ein ros entsprungen

For those murdered in Germany at the Christmas Market. May they rest in peace.

Prayer For The Dead

Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine
et lux perpetua luceat eis
Requiescat in pace
Amen






memories of a time
when christmas markets
meant twinkling lights and bonbons

Silent Night

they rode in silence
the camels made no sound
they knew - everyone knew
something momentous had happened
life would never be the same again
