I stood on the sandAt the edge of lapping waterWaves crashing inAnd fleeing backThinking about jumping in. It was the same sandI built castles in,not 10 years agoWith mom and dad.But they are gone now. I want to see themWant not to be hereWithout themLiving is so hard. But a single gullFlew down to myContinue reading “BEACHED”

I scraped awaythe sleepfrom my eyes. And there you were. Lit by sunlight,Framed in the glory of everything. I turned,still half asleepbut mostly half awake,expecting you to be gonewhen l opened my eyes fully. But when I looked again,squinting against your radiance,hand up to my eyes,shielding them, you remained. “I love you”, you said.“Do youContinue reading “AWAKE AT LAST”

Your lips moved, A whisper in the wind. My listless feet, The heat of hot heels. Your eyes glowed, A spark, hidden in sun. My kissing hands, The touch of far lands. Your hair swam, A carpet on the stone. My sleeping eyes, The view of dark stars. Your words roused, A slumber of theContinue reading “Litany”

Once, When you loved someone, When your every waking thought, Was filled with them. When you’d smell them in everything, When you’d pray for the ground to open up, and swallow you whole, and spit you out at your lovers feet. Once, When you dreamed of them, With a smile on your lips, when asleep,Continue reading “When You Loved”

Stars litter the pavement  But I cannot trust my memory. Stepping light with amazement I still recall the elegy. It slumbers in adversity Sky grey, like concrete. Singing their own reverie The graceless bones that are my feet. © M.H.

We always fall, Into this orbit, Like two disparate satellites, Drawn on some eliptical path, By uneasy gravity. We always part, I leave, you leave, Our pull weakens on the other, And we drift into other galaxies, For a short while. We never stay, Locked, like moons, Our constellation, constant only, In that it alwaysContinue reading “You And Me”

Sweep out! In formation! Let NO-ONE escape! We’re going to do this, Building by building! Charge up,  All your weapons! Shoot them on sight! We’re going to find them all, Building by building! Stay sharp! Watch the skyline! Always advance in pairs! We’re going to do this, Strictly by the numbers! Keep low! Check theContinue reading “The Bitter End”

I regret them all, The wasted seconds, That could have been my life. I mourn them all, Those undone kisses, For she who should be my wife. All the seconds ticking, gone, Like the beats of a silent song, That my heart sings. I recall them all, The forgotten words, That should have been myContinue reading “Seconds”

You got to live where I called home, You got to wake up in our bed. You got to see the sun the same way, What about me? You got to hold our childs hand, every day, You got to revel in small things. You got to smile and breathe again, What about me? YouContinue reading “What About Me?”

The bloom of static, Punctures dark and ominous Rain-filled cloud. The voice of the storm. The flash of power, Everything frozen, suspended In monochrome. The colour of the air. The crash of thunder, Rumbles deep and thrumming Inside cold bones. The cry of the sky. The boom of fire, Sears bouquets of scars Upon wet,Continue reading “Lightning Flowers”
