Midas sands run like tiny agitated rivers
across the face of the blazen, merciless desert
The Golden God wields His hot anger
upon the wrinkles of the sand-blasted terrain
Grain silos stand: One Two Three
in a conspiring triangle
The apparent coolness of the silo
contrasts with the withering heat
clawing at the unyeilding silos
Within, the grain seeks protection, comfort
Ignorant of the evil closing in
Sinister hollowness, reducing space…
the silos completely aware of the increasing
pressure on the grain
Remove every last once of their
Being
Like Heroes in their own time
The Midas’ Touch
Drifting through gardens
Touching a rose
Will it open or perish?
An angel’s touch
A Midas touch?
Simple gestures
Expressed like an
Emperor’s command.
Statues are animated
And dance like fireflies.
Is it an iris or a pearl?
Is it a creation or
a masterpiece?
A second glance
a golden rose.
A fallen angel a broken wing?
An isolated corner
The garden entertains
An unseen statue
Still made of stone
Blood Ties
Is it hard to love?
Something that should be natural
Forced
Efforts go unnoticed
Every action criticised
The same blood flows in our veins
Yet strangers we are
How can you compare?
Why is one better than the other?
Beyond my understanding
But not beyond hurt
