A gossamer affection dipped in monochrome is born, as the uncrowded lanes of memory we walk down; nostalgia nonchalantly negates the chrysalis within our souls making hearts soar as we near this tedious technicolour world...

The Boatman Series (7) – The Boatman and the Tale of the Moneylender
Starless winter night, the cold, dark waters - the stench of smouldering ashes in the atmosphere; the pungent reek of the bloody and the bloodier, greet the Moneylender when he returns to the harbour - asking, "How now, Boatman, is that you by the pillar?" - and nears him to examine his countenance clearer -… Continue reading The Boatman Series (7) – The Boatman and the Tale of the Moneylender
The Boatman Series (6) – The Boatman and the return of the Traveller
Starless winter night, the cold, dark waters, the Boatman comes home in the midnight hour; upon entering senses the presence something sinister, as the faint smell of smoke suggests a late night visitor.

The Boatman Series (5) – The Boatman and the Reminder

Entranced, he walks up to the last… Continue reading The Boatman Series (3) – The Boatman and the Moneylender
The Boatman Series (2) – The Boatman and The Mother
Starless winter night, the cold dark waters - the Boatman comes to ferry the midnight travellers - yet waiting in agony at the rainy harbour, stands an old woman with a man's hat for shelter, crying, "How now Boatman, are you there? My son took the ferry last Wednesday, and I've heard none from him… Continue reading The Boatman Series (2) – The Boatman and The Mother

The night sky conspires and the playful stars make mischief a purple evening is unveiled glimmering, sparkling beyond belief!
