Adieu, I hear her whispering A bitter sigh upon her lips Her body’s ache is audible Her pain shimmers before my eyes Her face is blank with resistance Yet I see her grim turmoil as It wreaks havoc – beneath her brow Lurks her mind’s unrelenting ghost I want to touch her, andContinueContinue reading “Adieu”

Premonition
I have the same dream, over and over Where I’m running as though I’m trying to Reach infinity Picking up the pace, across the green fields I’m running as the clock is ticking, and I must reach the sea Then I am there, the water before me A carpet of blue that reaches outContinueContinue reading “Premonition”
The Dawning Night
The sun, she stoops to kiss the sea Reluctant touch, as fatefully Her colour bleeds away from sight Cedes to murky realms of twilight But until then she glows fiercely Defiant of her destiny Rebelling against her night foes Though caught in death’s spasmodic throes Up above an erupting sky Signals to all a warningContinueContinue reading “The Dawning Night”
Prophet
The sweet light that you bring, shining To the depths of my stormy mind Filtering through the tears, it makes The most colourful of rainbows Then in the sanctuary of your calm This peaceful place, love seizes me And holds me tight, while watering Seeds of hope you long ago sowed Are youContinueContinue reading “Prophet”
Only you
Only you can put a final end To the darkness that consumes your mind Only you can take that last step and Leave the wounds of your past far behind Image: Edvard Munch, The Scream

You’re most vulnerable Absent distraction Nothing to hide your Bubbling emotion You thought the reverse That with time and space You’d at last find a Break from your mind’s race But there is no calm No stillness and ease When really, deep down The soul is diseased Image: Edvard Munch, The DayContinueContinue reading “Distraction”
Earth spirit
I remember when the earth was born When she was young and healthy and free The forests were lush, the rivers flowed With the passionate force of the wild I remember I’d dance in the woods Wearing nothing but a cape of leaves Across the soil I’d stride barefoot, to Bathe in water thatContinueContinue reading “Earth spirit”
Across the void
I call; my voice falls on deaf ears – Words echoing into the void They’re searching for a listener, And the person who’ll chase my fears I beg you, if you hear my cry You’ll give me a signal at last So that I may have my answer; May know the truth before IContinueContinue reading “Across the void”
Forbidden
At love’s mercy she cries softly Dreaming of another’s body In the darkness, the cold silence Of the doubt that binds her firmly Is it so wrong? – she asks as fear Keeps her vision blurred, so unclear; The demon’s voice inside her mind Is taunting all that she holds dear And trappedContinueContinue reading “Forbidden”
Moonlight spirit
Her hair was dark like a mystery Endless as the ocean at night And tinged like the silver wave tops Sparkling fiercely in the moonlight She came to me from lands afar Riding the currents of the wind She took my hands and squeezed them tight Erasing the shame of my sins Her eyes wereContinueContinue reading “Moonlight spirit”
