Inclined towards the artistic
Fascinated by things mystic
Restless fingers, creating
Eager eyes, ever searching
For things unseen; they catch her eye
As a universe of normality passes by:
Delicate white lace in the breaking tide
A lost feeling in memory revived;
The curve of a hip in sand dunes
Silver fairy dust in craters of the moon;
The sweat of labour in melting ice
Twinkling diamonds in the eyes of surprise;
The stench of murder in a matador's red
Twisted lies in golden truth said;
The depth of the past in a bottle of ink
Desperate clasping hands in chain links.
Her senses, heady with fantasy
Experiences, severed from reality
Reason blind, straying from fact
Her mind, surreal, abstract.
P.S. This was one of the few poems I ever read out in public, at age fifteen, when I had far fewer inhibitions.
