A little bit of Paradis

The Soul of a Poet

Rain

Rain
taps the window
and asks
may I come in
It’s wet out here.

Memories

Moleskin books
pages full of memories
the scratching of his pen
can still be heard
twenty years on.

Spiders weaving webs,
their gossamer tapestries
silently shimmer.
Sparkling dewdrops silently
reflecting the moonlight above.

Huddling round a fire
the sound of the crashing waves
on the beach at dusk
the setting sun disappears
in a blanket of darkness.
