A Year

A year passed by tonight I know not where she went She may have gone down corridor And invited in repent Her glowing eyes, her flowing locks Were not for nothing now Destined to absolve my sins With a frown upon my brow For most that night, they knew not Of penitent’s existence Living for […]

Beyond the voice

Travelling far from anywhere The silent township it was reached Thoughts were far from anything Only to be found under feet. ‘Waste not want not,’ she doth cry A whisper from a quiet voice ‘Waste not want not,’ before he died Enduring be the summer sky. The bright blue sky, the summer sun The only […]

the Spartan child

Protect the Spartan child on the mount Bring him down the mount and back to health Defend the warrior, enveloped in battle Covertly, surreptitiously, by stealth   Be Provedore to the unprotected Without they do not go nor suffer yet Support the weak, coerced, from shame, deflected Allow those outside, known, within to come   […]

sweet sunshine

A moonlit shadow appeared that dark night, Bright as ever was the sunburnt day. Hail sweet sunshine, with a smile. Dark, grey cloud, suspend, delay. Serendipitous was the chance encounter, Surreptitiously he left. Hark at the raindrops, softly, sweetly. Awaken, she did, surprised, bereft. Raindrops developed into thunder, Lightning followed a partner’s twist. Sweet sunshine, […]

black dog

He senses darkness, Won’t go away, The black dog no-one sees. He senses darkness, Ever present, The grey cloud, on his knees. He senses darkness, With him only, Talking as he walks. He senses darkness, The black dog barks, In the road there is a fork. He senses darkness, It frustrates him, No matter which […]

true love

A hand reached out in time of need, Like rain in time of drought. Fingers interlaced, accede, Like a bud that blooms from planted seed. A hand reached out, come what may, Empathy one need not borrow. Transfixed, like hand in glove, to stay, Ne’er for this love, in time, away. A hand reached out, no […]

Oh ye

Oh ye of little faith Where has hope gone? A smile doth be lost Now only wan. Is that all ye can stir This full, bright day? There must be more whence it came To satisfy one’s love, come what may. For without belief one’s hope is lost for good Forever, now one’s faith be […]

tomorrow…

We remember the past, Live through the present And wonder about the future. 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 […]

‘Just’

“Hi honey, it’s just me.” Meaning “it’s only me.” This is the context within which we so often use the word ‘just,’ especially when talking to our loved ones. The more familiar you are with one another and the closer you are emotionally to the person to whom you’re talking, the more likely you’ll add the word […]

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 […]
