Untitled Poem (from 1999)

I’ve been writing poetry since I was a kid. Most of them are terrible, however I thought I’d share a few I recently stumbled across from my teens. I’ve refrained from making edits to honour my younger self and how she expressed her thoughts all those years ago. Everything you said and did was only aContinue reading “Untitled Poem (from 1999)”

Blooming Without You (with audio)

If your cruel behaviour taught me anything it’s that I’m a fighter I may have been crushed but I grew despite your destruction – I stood without you I pushed my roots deeper strengthening my core against the harshness of life healing the wounds you left –I’m stronger without you I’m blooming now  glowing in this space becoming something more beautiful and vibrant all withoutContinue reading “Blooming Without You (with audio)”

A New Love Story (Villanelle)

I don’t want to live my life in purgatory The time has come for me to move on I’m looking for a new love story Our relationship is in dangerous territory Mistrust and insecurity have started to spawn, I don’t want to live my life in purgatory Our life together is a sad inventory And now with the battle lines drawn I’mContinue reading “A New Love Story (Villanelle)”

Our love was a temporal thing contained by the tides tetheredContinue reading “The Shoreline (with audio)”

Not Meant To Be (collab with audio)

By Bree Leto – Secret Thoughts Within and Charles Robert Lindholm – The Reluctant Poet There are many things you can’t control Your heart Another’s heart No matter how much you might want to It is a fact of life that hopes and wishes dreams and prayers Don’t always happen or come to pass We mayContinue reading “Not Meant To Be (collab with audio)”

Low Times

I know I took you for granted, there was no looking back when I left. Time always changes how we see things and I know I didn’t see you properly. You gave it all and then some, transforming me into your hero– I was always counting the minutes until I let you down. I think aboutContinue reading “Low Times”
