Southern Lights

The lights you seek are not these ones, these are mine

I shall explain more in time

As I have searched far and wide

Yet these are the most beaufitul I find

Unique, like tears in the snow

 

I share these lights with the Emporer, Leopard and Crabeater

With an hour of sunlight, there's nothing more sweeter

Than to sit and watch the carnival of light above

On my own, as the ...

Loner Bird

I saw you my friend

Looking toward the sky

I thought you knew you, my friend

Things aren't supposed to die

 

Loner Bird

Why did you have to die?

Londer Bird

Why did you have to lie?

 

I saw you again

Sitting upon the edge

Of the same window cill

As the past thousand times

 

Loner Bird

Why did you have to die?

Londer Bird

Why did you have to lie...

wildlifesadloneliness

Roadside roses

From the lover you'll never know

A note scribbled down in tears

sits atop a mound of colour

Trying to work out these forgotten fears


From a family torn and lost

Flowers that soon will rot

Your teddy sits upon the mound, arms wide open

Melting, muddy and forgotten

 

For the journey now cut short

With an ending some had thought

If only you could see things

How b...

The Privileged walk

Scuffing leaves on the ground

With no other soul anywhere around

Hands in my pocket, keeping warm

My feelings swell to an indignant storm

 

Life at home isn't quite right

The yelling and shouting gives me a fright

"Best apart" says my instinct

But it's not like me to kick up a stink

 

Night times leave me cold, fearful and small

Ear to the glass, glass to the floor

lonelynesslonelydomestic abusesadignored

Dislocated

Location unknown

No flesh or meat on the bone

Bereft of all comforting thought

This isn't what I was taught

 

I once knew a place

Where I knew every face

Now cold and dark

No warmth and no spark

 

I travel around in the void

Wondering round like a lost boy

And although I am able

Fully trained yet maimed and unstable

 

A ghostly belonging

Of betrayal ...
