Ovid

Safe and Sound

Mommy dearest
You are so fearless
Even though I’m hairless
Being in the nearness
Makes me fearless too

“My house. It’s kind of eccentric.
It’s two decades worth of accumulated personal projects.
Yeah, it is pretty dense in my house”
Douglas Coupland

Dense

Streets filled with people
Streets filled with clutter
Even the odd beagle
In the centre will hover

A densely populated market
It’s an easy target
For the lone tourist
Looking for more than nourishment

Douglas Coupland

Dense

It is hard to define
The suburban skyline
Buildings, cranes and clouds
It all seems, kind of loud
Trying to be proud
But all the density
Just makes me feel itchy
So, with a big eraser
Sharp, as a laser
Sculpting my own design
A view, quite refined

Dense

A street view,
Into a dense forest
If you want to get through
Bring a chorus
You can’t go wrong
When you sing a song
With the task at hand
You’ll eventually land
Into an enchanted place
In another space
And time

Douglas Coupland

Dense

Hidden, in the dense woods
A little red house, alone stood
Trying to find it, every one would
But not even Robin Hood
Knew, where to look

Dense

Today’s cloud density
Filled with such energy
You can feel the intensity
Filling the sky
And this city

Reflections, One

“Christmas is a season not only of rejoicing but of reflection”
Winston Churchill

Reflections

Reflections on the walls
Reflections on the windows
The sunsets and sunrises
Reflected on each surface

Magic

“A dream doesn’t become reality through magic;
it takes sweat, determination and hard work”
Colin Powell

Magic

Like a flick
Of the light switch
Like scratching
A really bad itch
I had started writing
Once more
Just like that
Just like magic
I found my muse
And I did it

Seconds

“Even if it turns out that time travel is impossible,
it is important that we understand why it is impossible”
Stephen Hawking

Seconds

Heart beating
Time is running out
Only a few seconds left
For the ultimate request
Using a different route
Feels like cheating

Finally reaching
My own hideout
No time for rest
Only doing my best
No time for tryout
Parameter breaching

Safely in my blue box
Punching the clock
Time starts moving
Seconds removing
Going backwards
Against standards

They said
It couldn’t be done
But did I bet
And know I am gone
Back in time
Trying to find
…My future

“Style is a reflection of your attitude and your personality”
Shawn Ashmore

Reflections

Through the looking glass
Reflections from present and past
Mystified images mirrored
In your mind’s eye forever
