The ye ole Window

“The old frail construct, made of glass and a wooden frame, try not to breathe too hard near it or it might just fall a part“ Gun Roswell

Old, frail, inconvenient, hard to handle? 

Just the same, it has lasted a long while, even giving a few smiles, the delicate framework, the painted artwork, all of it from the past, refitted to a modern day cast. 

And so, serving a purpose once again, the window, lending a peek through time, as how else would any of us learn, of our past, the long history, present there, through this, very old looking glass.

Pink is the Window

“The colour is pink, yes indeed, even the window is reflecting the same true colour, the one of pink” Gun Roswell

Yesterdays reflected
From old discarded windows
An old shack
Once painted black
Now boasting, the colour pink
It’s an eye sore some say
But others, smile and
In front of it for a moment stay
It’s not useful anymore
Who knows what secrets
Within it are stored
But for now, the windows
And the doors
Remain locked of course
And maybe someday
You may find the key
Which unlocks them all

The Golden Moment 

“Something glowing up there in the skies, something, golden I spy, could it be…???” Gun Roswell


The windows reflecting the light
As the afternoon’s sun is still bright
Colouring all the surfaces with gold hue
Completely irradiating the feeling of blue
A lyrical moment for the mundane grey
The feeling of dull quickly fading away
As the tall towers and the low windows
Make us believe in fairy tales and wonders
Our city now the golden one
Before the illusion comes undone
And we are back to the mundane vision
Of dull surfaces needing revision

Windows to open

“So many windows, but no doors!” Gun Roswell

Windows to open

A window, facing, the open sea

Allowing, a whole new world, to be seen

Do not try, from the life, outside, to hide

Open the window, and let the breeze inside

Enjoy the sounds and smells

Even the sunlight and thundery rain

Follow the birds, and their play

Soon, from the window sill, you’ll never leave again

Colourful it may be, from the outside

But what is hiding inside, may not be, so divine

Darkness and shadows, lurking in every corner

Huddling figures, afraid, alone, nothing normal

Open the window, let in the thundering storm

It may be followed, by a few drops of rain to fall

Sunshine surely to follow, shining light into the hollow

Take a peak, outside, you’ll realise, there is no need to hide

Windows, doors, what do you score? (1)

“Peek through the cracks, if no one attacks, then you are safe to enter, through either the window or the door, because you just scored!“ Gun Roswell

Windows, doors, what do you score? (1)

An open door, or even, a totally low hanging window

Certainly, an open invitation to explore, what secrets lie behind them all

And, ass there really is no time, like this given time of present

Simply, do step through, even if you might feel, a little hesitant

Although, you may want to be really careful, as to where you thread

As not all the open windows and doors, are free without regret

You may stumble upon, something, you are not completely prepared for

An unfriendly, or hostile environment or maybe even, a black hole

But, what is this life, without at least some sort of an adventure

So, remember, this one guideline, as you into the unknown venture

When a door or window is opened up, as an invitation to enter inside

The other doors and windows may be closed, with something to hide

If still, you are the one true dare devil though, and want to really know

What possible forbidden secrets, may be lying behind them all

Then forget all the before given advice. Heck! Who the hell am really I

To tell anyone else what to look for, behind all them, windows and doors!

Pink on a Window


“Painted in a bright colour, nothing odd about it” Gun Roswell

Pink on a Window

Yesterdays reflected
From old discarded windows
An old shack
Once painted black
Now boasting, the colour pink
It’s an eye sore some say
But others, smile and
In front of it for a moment stay
It’s not useful anymore
Who knows what secrets
Within it are stored
But for now, the windows
And the doors
Remain locked of course
And maybe someday
You may find the key
Which unlocks them all

The open door

“There is something about an open door, wanting to take a quick look inside, even if there is no invite” Gun Roswell

The open door

The door, remained open, as if left on purpose so

The invite perhaps left there for anyone passing by to cypher, to enter of not

As only the bold would most likely jump on the opportunity

Even if this was not a big city and most people knew the other

But, for the stranger, the new one in town,

This would be one of the few chances of taking a look around

Seeing how the locals lived, and with what kind of trinkets their home was filled

As there is a little peeping person in all of us

Simply wanted their curiosity to get satisfied

And so, the daring passenger from a foreign land

Decided it was the invite to take a peek, see what they can

From the doorway though, never really daring to enter

After all, respiting the privacy of others, was essential

The delicate window

“The old frail construct, made of glass and a wooden frame, try not to breathe too hard near it or it might just fall a part“ Gun Roswell

The delicate window

Old, frail, inconvenient, hard to handle? 

Just the same, it has lasted a long while, even giving a few smiles, the delicate framework, the painted artwork, all of it from the past, refitted to a modern day cast.

Open the shades, only when the sun to rest lays

“There shade, the sun, the clouds, the open skies, it’s all just one big illusion in one’s eyes” Gun Roswell

Open the shades, only when the sun to rest lays

The shade of it all!

Yes, just because the sun decided to stand oh so very tall!

And so, finding cover, of any kind was the one thing on everyone’s mind

The windows, the very homes, shutting down all doors, not a sprinkle of it getting inside

Just because someone thought that was the decision made ever so wise

No more peeking into the sun, even if it before was sun

No more glaring into the light, shining ever so bright

Because, someone said, it was not smart

And so, shade for all, was the option with with to go
