Flittering smile glimmers across
Sparkling eyes admit no loss...

The darkened room of hollow skulls
Shrouds a cloud of impending night...

Dear diary, I'm worried
I'm frightened of the past...

Twisting lives, fragile ends
Morbid colours catch the sunbeams...

The deep blue water
Calm across in the light...

When that time
That time just then...

Drip, drip, drop
Taps the watery night...

Out from the sheltered doorway
I took a step down our garden path...

(sorry had to repost; problems with editing)
*For maddy...

Tender darkness creeps and crawls
As the spread of evil falls...

Sitting there, time again
Listen to them say...

Twirling in a mindless maze
A thousand colours flash and fade...
