To my girls Rache, Mary and Chen
London-Oxford 2006

Inspired by The Phantom of the Opera



Inside my mind

The demons wing
The black moon rages
Stars are crying

The bluebells ring
Fields, forests burn
Cold, cloudless earth is dying

The sirens sing
Dull waves contend
The grey haired sea is sighing

The sounds of (poetry) burst in
While the universe gives in
To the madness of the darkness of the night
To the power of the verses that I write
