Memories
We always will wonder about the purpose of street photography Is it pressing the panic button to stop the flow of time ? The basic instinct to stack fantasy visions in an orderly disorder Like a butterfly collector pins beautiful memories in a box for scientific lust For the days will come when dementia or […]
Christmas and year-end celebrations rage on in distant London Memories of past summer days bring colors to the rainy streets As the Northern hemisphere goes through its winter throes Meanwhile the tropics remain under the same sunny skies Broken at the rhythm of monsoons and tropical storms Carnival is a piece of ancient African culture […]
The beautiful wanderers, the lost, the amazed and the dazed Streaming uninterrupted down Chepstow at the beat of reggae And smokes mix with the alcohols of sweet wine and brandy Like waves, memories cross the oceans to break at the cliffs of oblivion Life is a desert island where passing birds bring light hopes and […]
