Lovers Can Change (with audio)

Each ignored momentevery emotional brush-offputs more distance between us Your empty thrusts in the night do nothing to fill the void you’re leaving inside me Your lack of love is closing my legs Your minimal effort is breaking my heart  You’d better stop ignoring this –  Lovers can change to Othersand you’re starting to change me I don’t know about you, butContinueContinue reading “Lovers Can Change (with audio)”

Sentimental (with audio)

I loved her once – her lips soft as cappuccino froth laughter like a bell chime calling me to church She kissed me once – pressed her chest against mine sighed into my mouth until her mother called her home I cried over her once – she wed the man who lived next door while my mother patted my hand andContinueContinue reading “Sentimental (with audio)”

Words

Work Christmas Party

There’s a crack between your word and what I saw you do – at your work Christmas party I watched your colleague follow you You spent the evening close together it was like you were a couple and for half-an-hour you disappeared and I knew that there was trouble You re-entered the crowded room Was that some lipstick on your lip?You gave me aContinueContinue reading “Work Christmas Party”

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. Image found here on Pinterest Everything youContinueContinue reading “Untitled Poem (from 1999)”

Soundtrack (with audio)

Original image found here on Pinterest Music bed credit: David Renda I think of you from time-to-time play our record listen to the opus we wrote Hearing old songs memories from a life-time ago fills me with sighs We had exquisite moments scripted some breathtaking lines even now they make me smile We were a beautiful melody a symphony of intricate emotions untilContinueContinue reading “Soundtrack (with audio)”
