Nearing the end of another chapter, My fingers eagerly awaiting to turn to the Next page. It's time to start anew again, To pick up all the torn pieces of paper And tuck them into my pockets - I'll find use for them eventually. I'll run faster than I ever have before, Trailing whispers of … Continue reading Et puis…

Remnants of Summer
Sticky heat under a clear sky, Racing through tall grass, Flowers and small bugs sticking to my clothes -Run faster. My muscles scream out in Short gasps, Lungs filling up with each sharp inhale -It hurts. Light casts shadows across barren fields As hot water trickles down through the trees, A vacuum of thick heat … Continue reading Remnants of Summer
Rebonjour
Cher journal, Goodness it's been a while hasn't it? I often underestimate how swept up in life I get. It's not necessarily a bad thing- I've enjoyed being busy, but it is nice to step back and reflect every now and then isn't it? Take a deep breath and truly allow your shoulders to drop … Continue reading Rebonjour
Flits and flutters
I made friends with some birds;Kingfishers, Canaries and Robins.They sang me a melody ofGiggles.I needn't ever cage them, They are far too beautiful In flight. I tried to capture their colours;Red, blue, green-- Gone.Only a residue of soft light left,A sunset glow.They brought me joy;Children in a fairground,Goldfish and lions inPolaroids.They brought me home, To … Continue reading Flits and flutters
A Tragedian’s Mask
Let's laugh to not cry,Waste more time--for you not I.Shall we bathe in each other's lies,Façades that grow with every smile-- wink - grin - tear.For in the foreground I long,For truth to be held like a glowing light,Each cut - scratch - mark.Surpresses the inner turmoil of an abandoned ship,That sunk in the past, … Continue reading A Tragedian’s Mask
Spring Waters
A rotten apple seeps poison into a pond,I see my reflection change toGrey - brown - black.All the while my mind still wanders,Thoughts skim the water,Like tiny blue dragonflies.I gaze up at the sky- blue,Yet red fills my mind, fastflowingWater pours down the little streams.The cracks in my mind begin to show,The cracks on my … Continue reading Spring Waters
Changes of Season
Our sunshine playlist,Touches, sweet-like-cinnamon,The soft glow of jasmine scented candles.Our moments of closeness,Movie screen promisesAnd vulnerable words of warmth.Our tears of painAnd bitter tastes of blood, Sadness screams over the music.My fatal flawOf loneliness and blown out candles,Lost words of love and images of a cold night.
Sunrise
Iced air,Remains of kisses on,Our misty breath,A blue sky today,Yet recently all I've known is- Grey.Dead flowers drop petals,Their time is up,Mourning for a lily,That was once undamaged- Perfect.Yet after harm and hurt,When the clouds fog the sky,The sun still shines through- Hope.
Bonne Nuit
Le bruit de la pluie,Les voitures, le feu d'artifice,La larmes sur ma fenêtre,Je me sens apaisé,Les réverbères vaciller. J'espère voir une étoile, Je souhaiterai que la pluie s'arrête.Mais, quand elle s'arrêtera, il n'y aura rien d'autre que de laTristesse. Comme ma fenêtre des larmes coulent sur mes joues. Je me sens apaisé,Je ne sens rien.
3:54 am
The faint sound of snoring accompanied by the familiar feeling of disappointment- again he disappears into a world of Pinot Grigio and bitter lemon.I wait for him to wake up,To change and refresh.But the cycle is repeated and the alcohol takes his hand,Pointing a blaming finger to the wrong person- control.It is not wrong.As in … Continue reading 3:54 am
