  apple cores thrown, the blackbirds feed
  my multi-layered partner dons her wooly hat
  impatiently, she waits for me

This town, this Silk Road had no toll to pay
  yet from the east caravans again fill its

  into multiplex cinemas; mini golf...

A sizzling hot pancake metropolis
   Kingsize of all market places,

   And the delicious...

To my dearest dear…
Waited! Waited! And Waited!
Long-time yet no reply
How are you? Where are you?

Writing for you once again
Just with that hope you will answer me back. 

All these days...

Through the eyes of real 
selfish ideas wreaked havoc on many 
whose hopes and dreams were snuffed out—

Tall majestic trees enhanced the beautiful scenery.

Upon a midnight arithmetic
While counting my letters from my attic
That moment my soul grew matrix operation
I felt compelled to sniff the calculations.

Downtown

Dirt, cobblestone, brick and asphalt
Trodden on by horses, kids and others
Driven over by buggy, streetcar and automobile
Past shops, restaurants and theaters
It was the center of a town
A place where life took place

Stacked with books, assiduity elsewhere
Exams knocking at hand
Yet the Friday get-go

Escaped tuition and soul mate bask
Brainsick few moments
Ended with a break...

Since its phases do change
And its shapes rearrange

I sponged my eyes with chilled water and said good morning.

reminding me

As the leaves slowly land
they take with them 
the best Summer I ever had;

Lee Pearson is a para-equestrian athlete, 
Because in horse jumping he does compete, 
And has arlthrogryposis multiplex congenita,
Which he was born with in 1974, not bitter.

‘Cos since Sydney 2000 he’s...
