How many moments pass me by While I try to capture one In a still frame, which never shows The truth, the life beyond . Hiding away the fierce laughter, And frowns of a troubled soul Alone in the endless expanse Of a vast sleepless void . What beauty sighs beyond my grasp? Butterflies sweptContinueContinue reading “Stillness”

The other half
Sound of silence, Web of stillness First you tense, As emptiness Shocks your bones; Alone, afraid to Face the ghost within. But one day You’ll learn, you’ll grow Hearing the music In your soul; The friend, the lover Always there to Gently guide you home. Photographer: Robert Doisneau
Content
That heavy emptiness Settling in Satiated soul Mellow mind Done, content Energy spent Yet nourished, held In the calmest space The precious place With nothing more To do or say Caught in Infinite Timelessness
Secret Garden
Let your eyes indulge, feasting On a thousand flowers blooming; In Nature’s secret garden Array of colour, blissful delight Bathing you in delicate light; The glory of hidden treasure The birds call and a breeze plays Sweeping you into the mystery haze; Of Life’s impressionist painting
The Universe within
Come searching for that place Where there’s stillness in the chaos Yet momentum Even on those doldrums days – When nothing moves And what you thought was peace Morphs into Gloomy brooding Once there, you’ll quieten the heart Racing in trepidation; But still invigorate the mind When trapped by its exertion And finally,ContinueContinue reading “The Universe within”
Elements
Leaves, Blown by the wind Chasing each other Fearless and bold Sun, Still burning bright Yet it won’t be long Till night takes hold Earth, Give me your strength To face darkness with Courage and might For I wish to be As free as the wind As pure as the rain HeartContinueContinue reading “Elements”

The road is never straight when It runs beside a river Curving with the wild waters That know not man’s boundaries Amble with me on this trail And I’ll teach you what I’ve learnt What lies beyond the harsh lines Assumptions too often made As we walk the sun will sink But fearContinueContinue reading “Walk with me”
Deviant
There’s no going back once the heart opens When the mind has deserted the flesh, to Leave only the pure and raw soul behind To connect with that which it wishes It is the moment you cross the limits, Arbitrary lines society draws For how can it be said to be so wrong ToContinueContinue reading “Deviant”
To share a story
The time that I find myself a- slipping into the desperate clutch of madness; that is the time I know I need to write, to let out all emotion’s waves, channel them; Chasing them all into the day, for all to read the profanity of insanity’s whispering; the other voice inside my mind, itContinueContinue reading “To share a story”
Rose Garden
The seasons, here you watch them come and go, like lovers that change every time the spark of unnamed delight, turns and drifts over to another soul Just as you’ve smelt the roses, their summer blooms start fading; leaving but a thorny note of regret, as petals fall, hope and belief dissolving NowContinueContinue reading “Rose Garden”
