I let you in, for I told you A secret that’s close to my heart You passed it on, without a thought Now a careless rumour is sprung I gave a piece, a part of me That I hadn’t dared share before And you turned your back, callously What a ripe mess now hasContinueContinue reading “Betrayal”

Let your mind be…
Let your mind be the lover, that Catches your body when you fall Holding you tight, giving you strength; Courage to keep fighting your fight Let your mind bring you the passion That will invigorate your heart Burning blaze, rising from a spark To shine a light through despair’s haze Let your mindContinueContinue reading “Let your mind be…”
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”
Sunrise
Waking mercy of the sunrise Won’t you show me where your strength lies Furnish hope and give me courage To endure this earthly body For the limits of the flesh Weaken resolve, crippling the soul And the numbness of a frigid night Is stealing joy away from sight… You wonder why it allContinueContinue reading “Sunrise”

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”
Despair
Hungry echo of fear, Dormant whisper in blood Chews away at threads, In the fabric of time. Gnawing at the soul, As life seeps from flesh Convulsions numb love, Wounded body fading. Into the night, Into darkness As passion grips a mind, Holding onto a dream. But as answers disappear, Hope morphsContinueContinue reading “Despair”
Fool
Unsatisfied, you spend days Searching for something more Craving all the answers, You yearn for something better, An antidote to your banes, And for life to be flawless. But whilst you do, the present Slips away forgotten, and lays In tattered shards, as ghosts Of a forbidden future Haunt your dreams, Stalk your wakingContinueContinue reading “Fool”
Trapped
She lays helpless in a haunted embrace As whispers of night call mockingly Sinister words, mind doubting the body It’s caught in a brittle and barren world Her vision is blinded by burnt shadows As they brush her spirit callously Burning despair and bitter fear, tramples A heart locked in hopeless thought BeContinueContinue reading “Trapped”
