Next doors
Shouty morning
Where's my socks, toast is burnt
Your trainers? same place you left em
Argh mum
Slam of front door, they're late leaving
Morning melee soon fades
Soon be evening
School daze

Human
Tragedy strikes
Something leaves us inside
Mourning scents, fresh dying flowers
Curbside
Faces in photos bleach and fade
Fallen petals remind
How delicate
This life

Traces
Of light captured
Within acetate frames
Fleeting memories in picture
Albums
Your life through someone elses eyes
First breath, first step, labelled
Now organise
Your life

A hint
Of amber thread
Cascades from heavens blue
Into mother nature's embrace
Warming
Moisture dries on nacreous wings
That shimmer in sunlight
A pause to breathe
Escapes

She sways
Sashays, dances
Gives a twirl on the spot
Slender flowing lines, fingers wind
Beckon
Stilletto heels tap the boardwalk
Seduction in one look
Foxy lady
Smokin'

Unearth
Old time capsules
Hidden in lifes clutter
Dust covers miscellaneous
Boxes
Sometimes fragile collections hide
Purposely Forgotten
Opening them
Reckless

Silence
After the fight
Ice cold disconnection
Pain from the emotional storms
Chill winds
That fine line between love and hate
Is not to be explored
Repercussions
Certain

Under
Pepper smoke skies
Elders recite stories
Mystical legends handed down
Through time
Knowledge carried in slow smoke swirls
Charcoal burns in the pipe
Rite of passage
Begins

Storm clouds
Dark bubbles blown
Across the countryside
As rainbows in raindrops descend
Earthwards
We gather, holding hands tightly
Mumbled words become lost
In beautiful
Moments

Dwelling
On past mistakes
Goading voices, haunt me
Demons strip my soul from feeling
Happy
I cover my pain with a shroud
Hiding it from others
So i can seem
Normal

Inside
My mind I fight
It's never been quiet
With imaginations chatter
Shouting
The worries of reality
Place hurdles I must climb
And all before
I write

Life is
More of a hike
Across wind swept mountains
Than a skip through summer meadows
Relax
This is not a race, there's no prize
It's Inevitable
That we'll get to
The end

Lovers
Delicately
Dance around emotions
Gently tiptoeing with finesse
Around
Sensitivities of the heart
The yin-yang finds balance
When two free souls
Unite

Fragments
Of shattered hearts
Discarded on silent shores
Gently weep familliar songs
Mermaids
Join the serenade of the lost
A whisky quarter cask
Drowns the sorrows
Away

The world
Seems so distant
Hidden below the clouds
Thoughts escape from my wounded soul
Jumbled
Focus on the important words
Collect then in jam jars
Where they spell out
Stories

Holding
A precious life
Away from the frayed edge
Breathing for you, our souls as one
Saviour
Kiss of life beyond loves feeling
Life's fate holds the reason
To save a soul
Rescue

Sometimes
I scare myself
When I think I'm alone
My sub conscious toys with shadows
Quiet
Feeling every beat of my heart
Can I hear it breathing
Using darkness -
Surprise!

My thoughts
Like wax crayons
Melting under the sun
The confluence of all my worlds Confused
Yet those delirious voices Screaming out of the void
Make most sense when
Written

We're all
Slaves to causes
A life filled with habits
On each path we're subjugated
Bondage
Gold ring of old institutions
Injected nirvana
Credit, mortgage
Taxes
