To drift away where "now" just melts To dreams and silence, nothing else That hurts me so - inside my heart And seems to weld to every part Of me. Inside, outside - leaking through Surely, living is enough to do? Some swim through a honeyed life Have no idea of pain and strife.… Continue reading To Sleep #Poetry #30PoemChallenge
What if I had said "yes"? Would it's impact have been best? A parallel of you & me "What if"s spread out to infinity But I ponder over only one And if it now could be undone Why did I say no to you? I still love you, you know I do If… Continue reading What If?
Hope is not a thing with feathers It is a thing with scales That slips and slides all through your brain And never stops or fails And clearest - in the murky depths And cruel must be the brute The could squash this little fish That no one can pollute I've felt it… Continue reading To Hope #30PoemChallenge
An amoral heart is presumed black as night with sinewy, hot, wet arms that grab & crush the happiness out of everything. Wicked thoughts & evil desires being its main motivation. But it is not like that. An amoral heart is as clear as crystal, hard as ice and inside it is completely… Continue reading An Amoral Heart
I’m a little bit of my mum and dad The good, the bad, the ugly And something else to spite them both But, it doesn't really bug me They tried to teach me right from wrong Good manners, naturally. But what I loved best - was when they messed up! Then they couldn't say… Continue reading The ‘rents #30PoemChallenge #Poetry
You ripped my heart You tore my soul You sliced my dreams Consumed me whole You wrung my soft flesh out to dry You lied to me, You made me cry You broke my heart You tore my heart You squeezed my heart You stomped on my heart You beat my heart… Continue reading Broken #30Poem Challenge #Poetry
Who needs the truth after all? Does it matter what is right or wrong? But the news comes at you, large and small. Though, in these traps you’re bound to fall, Inevitably swept along. Who needs the truth after all? Yet, how can we move forward, tall To authentic guides within the throng?… Continue reading Alternative Facts #30PoemsChallenge #Poetry
Myths and Legends Beasts and Brutes Capture our minds And our hearts to the roots Of your imagination All vast and wide Do come with me to look inside Dragons that scorch you With blazing hot breath Minotaur’s that search you To gore you to death Unicorns that save you When lost and alone Leprechauns… Continue reading Hidden Monsters #30PoemChallenge #Poetry
We all have our own fables Our own sweet cautionary tales Of lives & hearts being led astray Or tales of triumph against all odds The lessons we have learnt Or maybe not at all The deep dark woods we must avoid And strangers that would like to eat us! To not judge… Continue reading Fable Tales #Poetry #30PoemChallenge
I don’t quite know how this happens And I don’t know if it’s just me But when I am with my mother I seem to transform...completely My legs go limp My hands swing back My head’s thrown back in a moan "S’not Fair!" I shout Bottom lip stuck out "Why don’t you just leave… Continue reading Devolution #Poetry
I found your shirt in my wardrobe It still smells of you You must have forgotten it when You took your things I can’t throw it away So it’s still there Buried beneath my winter jumpers In the furthest corner of my mind The void you left is shrinking I’m moving on and… Continue reading After You Left #Poem
You fill me up with your kisses, but my gluttonous heart demands more and I seek out your every attention. A look, a touch, a movement all pulls me closer, never satisfying – just teasing, tempting. I am weighed down with wanting - night & day. I want to breathe you in & gobble you… Continue reading My Latest Obsession #poetry
