My breath stopped. You stole it. With just one look into your eyes. You smiled. And my ribs opened up, Letting my heart out of my chest. It flew to you. And you have it still. Always will. You may never know it, But you carry around, a piece of me. Unwittingly. But permanently. ©Continue reading “?”

Five Hours
To salve a lonely wait, Too quick to add the weight, Of cares, woes and worries. To calm, and not frustrate, Too curved to come out straight, To journey’s end it hurries. To blind the seeing eye, Too hasty with a lie, To quell a bogus thirst. To wave it all goodbye, Too clear toContinue reading “Five Hours”
Following Venus
A trail of stars, Cosmic dust, Are left in my wake. I am a fledgling sun, Learning to run, Moving for movements’ sake. I am following Venus. A peal of thunder, That no-one hears, Is my aural corona. I am a whisper in the dark, A tiny spark, Waiting my time to go supernova. IContinue reading “Following Venus”
Let Christmas Come
After You
The Throes Of Hope
Amidst the throes of hope, Weak yellow flames gutter. Wishes that dance on lips, Pleading tongues that stutter. These words fall upon stone, Bounce, and vainly flutter. Dreams encased in steel, Taut traps that do not mutter. The quiet footfalls of promise, Suddenly clang and clatter. The profile of expectation, That sunshine cannot flatter. OurContinue reading “The Throes Of Hope”
Imposter (In The Shadows)
I slept, The sleep of turmoil, You were gone, But your shadow remained. I woke, In the dark, afraid, Your shadow was here, At the foot of my pillowed prison. I froze, All the shadows became you, And then your face, Swam out of the dark toward me. I cried, ”It is not you! TheContinue reading “Imposter (In The Shadows)”
A Substitute For Life
Sitting here, Soaked in fear, Of people and their faces. No-one near, For me to hear, The pulse of tiny spaces. Just this screen, And inbetween, The keyboard and the races. It would seem, But just a dream, Full of useless graces. All that has been, All that is seen, Everything interlaces. There is noContinue reading “A Substitute For Life”
A Casting Of Shadows
The past is a shadow you can never outrun. Even if you stay out of the sun. All your sins and deeds leave an indelible mark, that silhouettes you even in the dark. All your secrets Are cast into the light, Like poisoned petals. Your regrets are all the songs, You’ve forgotten how to sing.Continue reading “A Casting Of Shadows”
I Wish
I wish you’ld come. Help me close down the doors of heaven. Come into this quiet world, And puncture this raging silence. I’m so scared of never feeling alive. I chased myself into the dark And now there’s nowhere else to run. I wish you were a destination, I could turn to when I needContinue reading “I Wish”
