All the lost words I collected for you Are now ready for retrieval. Your lost dreams leaked thru the treasure box. I can't hold them for you any longer. (C)Mary Ann Wells
Ode to the Dark
Chase the light twixt crooked armed trees Low does the sun hide tucked unto skeins of the sea Oh how the dark whispers, groans and claws Reconciling nightmare; trespassing unto the mind Maiming the conciseness entreat Ripping, gnashing sane retreat A thousand eyes and none A thousand maws but one...
At Water’s Edge

masterpiece
Like it or not, you are hung in this gallery, for a time stranded, to simply be. Brace yourself to overlook endless crowds, all who see unable to overlook your colours. They long to near you, feel the textures of your strokes, hold something of great value. See me stranded, watching you be. Since...
