In Love I Stand

I tear bleed every pain from me Hot iron cauterise the wounds I see Stand here in open love and be When echoing hurt demands it from me. Hold my breath whilst flaying me For endless love is all there’ll be

Arrivederci

The chilly wind that will take you away, storms in from the far flung west falling down a frozen mountain side hugging me briefly on my abandoned shore before grabbing hold of your dazzling sails. The chilly wind that will take you away, steals a piece of my warm and glowing heart holds it inContinue reading “Arrivederci”

Blasé

The final note disappear into smokey spaces lingering between empty glasses. Longing fingers reaching out for lonely promises reflected on the tired faces. We close our eyes to protect ourselves from the desperate truth of the dying light. Keep the words of our desires hidden behind the walls of many a futile night. All IContinue reading “Blasé”

The Namib

There is a vast space inside of me. Created in the heart of the Namib desert. On a night so dark that you could feel it. A night so quiet that you could hear it. Where I was one with everything. I could not see where I ended and infinity began. Where the stars wereContinue reading “The Namib”

The Knight

The knight, weary and battle scarred Drops his heavy armour to the ground He builds a fire without a single word Exhaling, bends his tired knees to sit He waits No more will he go out from this place No more bloody battles will he fight No more conquering and subjecting No more creating ofContinue reading “The Knight”

The Truth Of Things

In death lies buried the seeds of life. In darkness the light revealed. In defeat the written history of victory. In brokenness the truth about love. In gratitude the bent knee of humility. In my end the first steps of your beginning. I feel the breath of a messenger, spreading over my human skin. DrawingContinue reading “The Truth Of Things”

Winter Blossom

In the whitest winter snow, on the darkest withered branch, there grew, a blossom as red as blood. I paused and held my breath, to behold this sight, a miracle, in the land of black and white. With gentle loving hands, I reached out to touch, my fingers, to the satin petals light. On theContinue reading “Winter Blossom”

Silence

Words fly away on the white wings of a peaceful silence. Dark storms are finally overcome by a colourful horizon. A clear note rings in the quiet aftermath of chaotic destruction. I exhale and my breath takes the hand of a winters breeze. Dancing passed the brown and yellow leaves of yesterday. A warm lovingContinue reading “Silence”

Home

Home why did you abandon me? The words of my soul whisper. Calling across the endless waters, reflecting glass hiding healing love. Home where are you? The arms of my heart outstretched. Reaching through the grey mist, a blanket hiding hopeful belonging. Home why are you silent? The trembling of my body echoes. Begging inContinue reading “Home”

You – I – We

You You took me in and became home. You held me and became safety. You listened and became healing. You smiled and became joy. I I love you but do not possess you. I hold you but do not bind you. I want you but do not need you. I am you but do notContinue reading “You – I – We”
