It Fits
It fits.
It just simply does.
My arm fits behind your head,
as we lie on the bed, in the glow.
Your head on my shoulder,
comfortable and light.
It fits.
It just does.
Staring at the ceiling;
at the cobweb on the fan.
Nobody cares. There are no thoughts,
just reverie, and peace. Just to be.
It fits.
It just fits.
This life with you,
and who we are.
This growth togeth...

Sunrise
The sun rises
watched it more than once
listen to birds
sing their songs
the sound of rustling
leaves
in the song of the wind
the smell
damp
and close to the ground
branches creaking
from the weight of
animals
all alone
I've watched the sunrise
watched it many times
yet this time
as the sun crests
the mountain ever yonder
I hear the footsteps
light and crisp
sure but unsure

Darkest Times
In the darkest times, there is always a light,
Someone who will hold you, or just sit with you,
when you are feeling doubt.
Maybe it's a person? Or maybe it's a dog? who looks at you with non-judging unconditional love,
and makes you know everything will be alright!
That makes you put on your armour and continue to fight,
Because warriors might lose battles and even have scars,

Believe...
We must never be ruled by our circumstances.
We must follow our hearts and follow our chances.
No matter how hopeless. No matter how late.
Know that we are special and we can become great.
We must also know that hope does exist.
So know that we are free and this will persist.
Take down those books from our mind's bookshelves
And ponder those wise words as we read to ourselves.
Whatever...

Eden
I found my bliss
Heading south on the A23
She’s a rollerskate
He’s a magnet
Like the easy way
Water slides down your throat.
Me, a pearl of existence
Gently cooking in this black car
Heat. From July. Discomfort
In the way my baths
Are always stifling.
A glissando of tyres
Droning down to the coast
Under a weatherless sheet
Of baby blue...

Keep shinning
Yea, life's indeed beautiful,
Though the acceptance is not necessary.
The situations are hurtful,
Yet the realisation is mandatory.
Life is somehow like a fairy tale book,
Everything is going on by hook or by crook.
But after a while, take a look,
Not mesmerized, but the beauty will leave you shooked.
Yea,your life is somewhat miserable,
And in process of cu...

The Garden
The barbs of your tongue
Cut me to shreds
Unpicking my mind's
Most delicate threads
So I weaved myself words
From the pit of my soul
To replace all the light
And the joy you had stole
Then I ripped myself free
From your talons of spite
Spilling ink upon page
Under dawn's weary light
And I bled, intravenous
Through roots of my mind
Feedi...

Love
When you looked me in the eyes, I wanted to feel your love
To feel the love that you said, was gone
I wanted to believe with all my heart that you would come back...
I wanted to believe that I could be enough
I wanted to believe that we could grow together but the truth is, it was all an illusion created by a stubborn heart,
Instead, I let you close and you hurt me, broke me, and ra...

Anxiety...My Friend
As this feeling
I feel in my chest
Eats away
My soul
And the emotions
it produces
Coalesce
I stop to wonder
When will it go
Away
Anxiety
Is my best friend
My closest enemy
Anxiety
Is there
For me
And asks one million
Questions
Placing un-needed
Doubt
Within my mind
Anxiety
Questions
The intentions
Of those around
Me
Axiety
My friend
Please let me be
I do not
Need you

Hey-ho!
Hey-ho
I wanna look out
my window
I wanna go where
my thoughts go
But I can't get out of
my bed though
I'm lonely
A sad little
one trick pony
Waiting for someone
to phone me
To tell them this condition
don't own me
I dream about
Simply getting up
and walking out
Seeing what this beautiful
world's about
Filling my lungs and

To The Future
If you find yourself with awful luck.
And that in the deepest hole are firmly stuck.
If you feel from it you'll never rise,
That the world is cruel and harsh in your eyes.
If you feel there'll never be a tomorrow,
And you'll never leave your path of sorrow.
If you feel your life has no point or reason,
And it's loose ends will never find completion.
You must know that life is always ch...

The Sorrows
Its spine slithered, snake-like
around the corpse of my soul
Her withered tongue extracting
from life , what I had stole
Come scream!
Come scream!
For the beast must be seen!
Come swallow
THE SORROW
For there is
no tomorrow !
Such a flaying shall occur
In the pits of our despair !
Creeping, seeping
Rotting eyes weeping!
The ol...

Teacher
Today I sit here in my car, trying to hold back tears, trying to stay strong
A teacher....
Teach your students colors,shapes, letters, numbers, teach them about life, and now keep them safe from guns
Today I sit here in my car, trying to hold back tears, trying to stay strong, remember you are a teacher
Teach your students to not be afraid, yet in your heart you know the world is again...

Fingers Crossed.. a poem for our times
Fingers Crossed
The buds now open, sun dispels the dark
The nights of bat give way to morning lark.
And as we emerge, blinking, into the light,
Brim full with fright, and delight,
Apprehensive, yet pensive of all we have faced
And what may lie ahead, braced
Despite it all, against the odds
We hold hands aloft, with fingers crossed.
When threads seem thin which hold...

Shadows
They are sometimes my friend sometimes my foe sometimes they are just living next door
Though these shadows do come handy at times When we need them they do just fine At times they are a heavy burden At time...Wednesday 23rd March 2022 9:01 pm

Browsing
I think I need a jacket
It's getting very cold
I'll have a look online
It's very easy, so I'm told
I'm not sure that I like it
It feels like it's quite forced
As I swipe through all the options
But there's some I like of course
The first one was suitable,
The pockets just too shallow,
Number three felt like a winner,
Better suited to another fellow
I sometimes sit and...

Justice
Sometimes justice does not prevail,
And life becomes unfair.
Sometimes the hardest workers fail,
And hope turns to despair.
Sometimes we see the fat cats thrive,
And the little people do then suffer.
Sometimes the careless do survive,
While judicious lives do become tougher.
Sometimes punished are the good,
While the sinful are rewarded.
Sometimes the best are misunderstood
And the ...

Lost Love
To hold you in my arms one last time
To feel your touch even though I knew you weren’t really mine
To feel your lips touch mine and again feel your love
Hoping, dreaming, wishing I could bring you back
Hoping, dreaming, wishing to fix this shattered heart
But a touch, a kiss, my love wasn’t enough
You’re not coming back
You’ve chosen
And it’s clear now
Your love is ...
