Words

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”

Let’s Not Start (collab)

By Charles Robert Lindholm and Bree Leto I look into your eyesand I see the flamesof passion burning I know whatyou are yearning for You want to light my fireYou think this attraction between usis my heart’s desire But eventually  love would make a liar out of us both We could have a crazy love affairwith a beautiful startbut it wouldn’tContinue reading “Let’s Not Start (collab)”

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 aContinue 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. Everything you said and did was only aContinue reading “Untitled Poem (from 1999)”

Soundtrack (with audio)

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 until we ended in tragedy I don’t write songs like ours anymore myContinue reading “Soundtrack (with audio)”

Burnt To Life

My life was numb living through the hours in a disconnected haze nothing to look forward to except a colourless sunrise Then you came along  and with you I felt something             seen and safe I felt something             no longer alone It didn’t last now you’re gone but I’m no longer numb I still feelContinue reading “Burnt To Life”

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)”

Empty House

She moved out – Took the whiskey and the couch. The place is neater now But far too quiet He paces the hallway Looking into rooms With restless limbs And a broken spirit They had been disconnected for months But that does make it easier. There is just too much space left In the house and in hisContinue reading “Empty House”

The Shoreline (with audio)

You were the wild ocean I was the still meadow no permanent place to be together – your heart would have run dry with me, I would have drowned in your arms.  Meeting on the shoreline crashing into each other we joined in tempest waves. Our love was a temporal thing contained by the tides tetheredContinue reading “The Shoreline (with audio)”
