oxymoronically-speaking

Never before, once again Away, at home, forever Sincerely dishonest, as was before Always, maybe, never   An honest liar, stubborn tolerance To liberally legislate Hedonistic stoicism Accepting of difference and irate   Absence makes the heart grow fonder Out of sight means you’re out of mind Forgetful of those not in our sight What […]

far horizon

Butterfly in shimmering light, Garden blooming in new season. Kookaburra, sitting, soulful – Poignant is the far horizon. Orchid flowers, life awakens, The day grows ever longer. Shadows present, Sunshine alightens, Prodigious is her effort, action. Human in kind, Love we find In simple, pleasant things. Far horizon, ever closer, Droplets they descend. Life, we wish […]

Life’s been full of challenges We’ve settled for what’s expected, Whilst we hope our future brings belief In special things, reflected. The wonders of a world unknown, The emotion of a feeling grown, The excitement of achievement sown. These are but some […]

I have a dream…

Jules was a sound sleeper and anything but an early riser. She slept peacefully through the sunlight. I, on the other hand, […]

epiphany

He walked amongst the many and came across the one – the one who made him feel like he hadn’t felt before. The feeling was almost indescribable, it was like he was walking on a cloud. She was…perfect. Her beauty was like that of a blooming camellia in the height of Spring. She looked like […]
