You surround yourself With noise and clutter Distractions and people And tasks to be done Filling the day, you While away the time As you avoid the truth, Keeping up the facade But at the end of the day When the night falls There’s no one but you, Nothing but your mind ContinueContinue reading “At the end of the day…”

Blackout
It comes, sometimes so sudden Like fog in the mountains, Descending into every rise And fall of the slopes and valleys; Erasing all sense of up and down, as The whole world turns a numbing white Only it’s black, black and hot As a burning sensation rushes to your head And sparks of concentratedContinueContinue reading “Blackout”
Honesty
Why was it that when you were here, The words would not flow from my lips? I could not open up my heart And clenched within, my sonnets stayed Held like prisoners in a mind that Stumbles over forbidden dreams Yet now, whilst far away you are Words burst forth like a stream inContinueContinue reading “Honesty”
Harmony
The tinkling notes of birdsong Come wavering down the aisles Spreading midst the columns, Joined by weaving vines Eternally strong, the stone rises Starkly against those gentle Faltering tones that flicker, Tentative in their serenade Manmade and natural beauty Just for this moment standing Side by side in perfect harmony, A whispered glimpseContinueContinue reading “Harmony”
Hate
Hate you strike, without a thought A sudden tempest on a calm spring day Plucking at the cherry blossoms Their fragile petals, fair like snow Now stained with blood, and the tears Of too many punctured promises Dreams that will never come true As the storm sweeps them from sight Up above, a burningContinueContinue reading “Hate”

Goddess
I hear, before I see her With her voice like molten gold Weaving through the trees it fills The spaces between with glory And I feel, tug on my heart A firm pull, but not ungentle Sure and true, like wisdom’s whisper Guidance from a future that I dream Then I glimpse, midstContinueContinue reading “Goddess”
The woman she can be
She’s seduced by confident looks The promise of protection She’s unsure, unsteady, unknown Straight into his arms she runs Confused bird Wings still growing Dazzled child Heart in awe She’s told her thoughts don’t matter And that pleasure’s not for her She just has to listen and please For now, let go ofContinueContinue reading “The woman she can be”
I will be
When you’re feeling all alone I’ll be there to guide you home Though the road may weary you I’ll make sure your path stays true When the sun sets for the day I will drive your fears away And though dark the night may be With my light I’ll make you see ThingsContinueContinue reading “I will be”
