A Fishing Trip

Calm waters, a single line,

Hook and sinker trailing behind

Wait is long as time stands still,

In the middle of an ocean, where all is well.
***

Thoughts and memories go through the mind

Of a fisherman awaiting fortune to unwind

The morning sun is bright in the heavens

As land beckons waves to shore
***

"The deep" whispers in a voice unheard,

As hook is tangled in the catch's gorge,

Twisting and turning in anguished plea,

Skipping over waters, begging for sea.
***

The line is tout, hands bringing in

A cumbersome prize, a trophy, a win!

And as it struggles to remain alive,

In a battle of wills the encounter is finalized.

Alhambra - An Arabian Gem in the Spanish Crown

First article I ever write, and in my opinon my best, published in 'The Art Review' , June 2006.

Alhambra is an enchanted, magical palace in the heart of Andalusia and no words, music or painting can do it justice. you have to visit it to even begin to imagen the beauty this fortress hold for the beholder.

Shadows of Reality

Shadows on the ceiling,

Spreading over the walls,

Products of a string of light,

where darkness took its toll.

***

Hopes and memories unleashed,

On an unexpected world,

Threaten the false sanity,

Of a numbed-out, dried-up core.

***

Fragile we are my friends,

With a false sense of control,

When a simple gush of wind,

Could simply break our hold.

***

Conceited in our belief

In an everlasting world

For today is just a delusion

When tomorrows’ reality draws.

Can’t be drifting like a cloud

Can’t be drifting like a cloud

Floating high above the ground

***

Altering shapes and switching forms

Transforming with the tide

***

Searching everywhere in sight

For a glimpse of soul that shine

***

Through the porthole of your eyes
