Will you dare to break the rules, Defy what’s taught as right? Will you risk what you have won, For this new dream in sight? Will you overcome convention, And go against the norm? Will you redefine the purpose, For which you came to be born? Will you run up to the edge,ContinueContinue reading “Rules”

Freedom
Captured, by her eyes of steel It would be wrong to call them cold They’re only hardened against a world Which punishes those who feel Her passion, dark as night Hidden beneath false layers A guarded guise, heart opening Only to those with a certain sight Ruptured, your soul is caught Splintering beneathContinueContinue reading “Freedom”
Irrationality
One word, one whisper A feeling sparked A burning hiss Bitter anger, breaking fear Harsh intruder takes over Ripples spread, waves rise Flooding fast As an incoming tide Painful regret, ghostly echo Lonely call of your demise Heart trapped, foreign angst Gentle but firm As seduction’s trance Uncanny delight, enchanting pain Rational mindContinueContinue reading “Irrationality”
Stranger
Stranger, you taught me That some people care No condition Or strings attached You gave me hope Newly discovered I could be myself Without fear Stranger, you showed me Some people do dare To look gently Beneath the mask You gave me faith Absent awhile That from this facade I could peer ContinueContinue reading “Stranger”
You or me
I see you there, lost and alone Or perhaps not, perhaps You are fine and this is my mind, Playing tricks, seeing in your face A reflection of my pain, This place of empty hurt I see you there, and I want To take your hand, to reassure you That life will treat youContinueContinue reading “You or me”

The Dancer
As dew drops sparkle On grass so green And sunlight filters Through youthful trees You’ll spot her whirling An ethereal mist Her presence splintered into A thousand golden rays Music is playing But it’s not to be heard A silent song rising From slender lithe limbs And her heart lies open ExposedContinueContinue reading “The Dancer”
The Poet
Words, rippling forth, from unknown edges of the innermost, mysterious mind. Rushing onward, as they grow in strength, they whisper and sigh, tantalisingly. Murmuring, they seek attention like a lover’s demand, gentle yet compelling. And stronger still, they take shape, take a beautiful form in this tangible world. Words, holding herContinueContinue reading “The Poet”
Capturing Perfection, Chapter 4
The fourth and final instalment of the short story. * * * Never have I worked so hard on a painting. Never. This had to be perfect because Lorenzo was perfect, and to picture him anything but was a travesty and a sin. I ordered new brushes, tiny ones made from a few threads ofContinueContinue reading “Capturing Perfection, Chapter 4”
