Like Stone
Bust of Antinous, 131-132 AD, Museo del Prado, Madrid 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? How can you say you love me when I can’t tell anymore? You say it’s not your intention for me toContinueContinue reading “Like Stone”

Open Doors
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 placeContinueContinue reading “Open Doors”
These Are The Days
These are the days when love comes to test us to see if we meant what we said A well-worn kiss shouldn’t be discarded Familiarity isn’t something to scoff at Your hand in mine has always made sense– time hasn’t made me senseless These are the days between yesterday and tomorrow when love asks what it has meant and what it’ll continue toContinueContinue reading “These Are The Days”

The Enigma of Self
I do not understand myself and what I do sometimes nor how I’ve come to rebel within my rhythm and rhymes It is a releasing powerto manifest this way but for all this uttering, Ican’t keep the clouds at bay As I feel there’s no escaping the person I’ve become I will keep expressing myself it’s not worth hiding from
Madness
A crack momentary relapse… the craving disappears and all that’s left is regret What was it we were searching for? What hunger were we trying to satisfy? Feeding junk food to your soul is the quickest way to die Next time we’ll keep our mouths shut – some words shouldn’t be spoken How can we pretend we didn’t say them when our lover looks us in theContinueContinue reading “Madness”
