Grief

I’ve worn you, my beloved cloak of grief, for so long, a companion. Dark and musky I carried you with me, until you felt like skin, my skin. My mind grew attached to you, the thought of letting go a betrayal. Precious fabric, woven with cords drawn from deep within me. Painted on your sleeves,Continue reading “Grief”

Black Forest Cake

The taste of the dark chocolate cake on the lips and beard of his beloved dissolved the world. The entire universe held its breath as time took a silent pause at the edge of eternity remembering the moment when the sun looked in and saw the chocolate covered hands of love and eyes bright like a clear blueContinue reading “Black Forest Cake”

White linen bed

Soft is the white like feathers of an angel wings spread open wide Warm is the white like the glow of a fireplace flames casting light Home is the white like the arms of my love embracing me at night Hope is the white like the doves of peace taking flight Laughter is the whiteContinue reading “White linen bed”

Lost

How did I miss you in the passage of time, sliding doors to another reality? How do words and laughter become silent echoes of lost possibilities? Why do I feel such an aching grief for someone that was never mine? How do I say goodbye and let you go when you were never here withContinue reading “Lost”

Human

There is a house I built for my soul to live in. It is not me or who I am but I love it all the same. There is a garden I tend for my thoughts to dwell in. A beautiful wall surrounds it but it cannot contain me. There is a painting I workContinue reading “Human”

The Wind

The west wind brings the news. Blows away what remained behind, leaving only a haunting silence. Standing in the endless longing. Waiting for words that never come, breathless, my hope stolen away. As pictures fade from colour to grey, I wonder, do you ever think of me. Those moments that we were us? Close theContinue reading “The Wind”

The Construct

A castle made of stone. Build on blood and bone. One layer after the other. I see you father, mother. I feel the rope around my wrist. It burns and cuts as my arms I twist. Drags me along a path so strange. Until it becomes my familiar stage. Eyes wide open, I walk onContinue reading “The Construct”

Familiar Stranger

The dark planet orbiting, pulling at my heart.  Unseen I feel your force, circling my soul.  Creating within me a longing for the unknown.  Staring at strangers, searching for your familiarity.

Moment

When the moment comes, will you see me, know me? When the moment comes, will my soul rise within me? When the moment comes, will time bend in on itself? When this moment comes, will it reveal the me to myself? Words fail me and I become a child, speechless. My soul awakens and risesContinue reading “Moment”
