Entrapment
 
When time is a web 1
Spider becomes death 2
 
1 Expands silken edge
Captures all in thread
 
2 Sucks life to an ebb
Ensures we are dead


Mindless World
 
Manifold days
Lost in this maze
 
Labyrinth tricks
Myriad matrix
 
Dizzying daze
Mindless haze
 
A pointless gaze
All useless ways
 
All routes inbound
No escape to be found
 
Lost in a mindless world


Service
 
Losing battle
We all know
 
Why invest
In someone
 
Who will
Not stay?
 
For love only
 
Rendezvous
 
You caught me
                                  off
guard
 
– I wasn’t ready.
 
You
   	weren’t
                 	playing
                              	       fair.
 
                Next time
I’ll be
      	         prepared.
                          
Until
     	we meet again,
 
                        Death…

Man on the Moon
 
Man of the moon
 	Will be with you soon
Point your telescope
 	Up at high noon
 
The man on the moon
 	Will see you soon
After his microscope
 	On the cusp of the lune
 
But don’t wait too long
 	As he will be gone
More man off the moon
 	Than on
