Just Like That (with audio)
And just like that the emotions slam into my chest It’s as though we were never apart and my body starts aching from missing you all over again We broke through the barrier of our carefully constructed silence Your voice is still ringing in my ears and my betraying heart sings – it seems you never left my soul Now I’m coachingContinue reading “Just Like That (with audio)”

Where have all my words gone? Did you take them when you left and took flight – packed up in your witty conversation along with days kissing naked in bed? I’m unable to write our poetry the emotions were stolen that night – there’s no use in scripting old promises that will no longer be cherished or read The words, they’veContinue reading “Words”
Like Stone
Without a crack of emotionyou stand before me like stoneso fiercely independent – when we’re together, I’m alone I wonder if you’d miss me if I walked out the door?

I can’t do this anymore The passion and drive have dissolved diluted by the trauma and frustration at a broken system I can’t drum up the motivation smile and pull others up from their knees – apparently, there’s a limit to how many knocks I can take It’s a toxic relationship and I’m only realising it now working in a placeContinue reading “Open Doors”

Leaves (with audio)
The weather is grey as if it can sense my thoughts about you During a solitary walk I whisper your name to the trees – each syllable holding a tapestry of memories In my ashen mood I take refuge under the hemisphere of an evergreen I sigh into the leaves hoping they’ll send messages on the wind I miss youContinue reading “Leaves (with audio)”
