She said, "you should
come up here more often,
it is quiet and chilly
and i get a bit lonely",
but i am not too sure
because the boy Icarus
dropped into the sea
the other day while
we were trying to
fly to Mars.

My daughter was at the recently concluded festival I Light Marina Bay, and took pictures of the light installations there. She asked me if i would like to add some words to the photos. These 5 were the results. Not much, I know from more than 20 installations.

Urgh! only two more days to go!
A fantasy tale today. A dark fantasy piece.
birds of prey
we wait
for the dusk
to scatter
the last of the
light
on cliff edges
that was once
the bastions
of mighty
citadels
and as the
last shards
of light splinter
and fall like
broken glass
we stretch
our wings the leather
taut with muscles
leap off
the precipice
soar over
the smoke & ruins
of a world
torched by
atomic fire.

one-word titles for the past 3 days?
dragonfly
i will not roam
the vast acres of green
i should have known
for i
trapped in this grey city
my wings
heavy with humidity
my dreams
only of home
i am tired
even the dark walls
are mocking
in their silence

too much sci-fi, perhaps?
starship
light
years
away
from a past
that was a murky
distant memory was
the dust of stars and
generations have lived
propagated warred killed
loved and died on this ship
carrying rain forests and
oceans and an armour of
air and treasures and
myths and species
hurtling through
its destiny
this ship
we
called
Terra

Coming back home one night from work, the full moon was exceptionally large and bright, and from where I looked, it seemed to be trapped in the branches of a tree. Plus, a video game combined to inspire this piece. :)
okehazama moon
the moon
hanging in the
branches of the
rain tree like a lit
japanese lantern
and i half expect
the samurai riders
of the Oda to
come flying out
like dark ravens
out of the light
hungry as at
Okehazama

do not agitate
This is a prompt from http://www.napowrimo.net/ for NaPoWriMo Day 1.
"Write a poem that incorporates the titles of three books you have in your house."
Here goes. :)
1. The Last Good Kiss by James Crumley
2. Burning In Water Drowing In Flames by Charles Bukowski
3. pay attention: a river of stones edited by Fiona Robyn and Kaspalita
a poem from 3 book titles
baby.
one last good kiss
on this river of stones
this last planet we will meet,
amongst the willows, the songs
of birds, the wing beats of dragonflies,
before
we
go
burning in water drowning in flames
as the asteroid breaches the stratosphere.
