Lightheaded I ambled towards the lonely pub. Liquor helps sometimes you know. It burns the mind, empties it of niggling thoughts, of subtle yearnings, of ambitious aspirations. There she was redhead and flushed. A companion in distress. We drank together, confessed together, envied together. Time's up. Outwards we lurched hugging each other towards the beach where empty cabins gave us respite. Morning arrived. She was not there. Pity! I knew not her name. Might as well...

When her shadow falls on yesterday, And the memory erases the hopes and dreams, Like faded stars in a warm, summer sky – Her fickle heart makes its way through the night, Breathing lonely into those minds, those lives, Believers who discovered she was a lie, Memories who know her as pain’s alibi.

I pray for you, but I’m just not sure When you say you’ve changed, Does it mean anything? When you reveal Your heart – is it something dark Or is it something blue, tender and true I just can’t be sure about you… You’re someone Who is rich in His blessings, someone Who is loved, adored, accepted Yet you neglect the truth, reject...

She was a giver – giving More than material possessions, Although she gave many Things – her gifts, the ones That made my heart remember Were her flames of tenderness, The sweetness of the spirit She gave so many magic memories… She was a maker – a creator Crafting ideas and pleasant dreams, Inspirations that remind me… Her heart was on display in every Wish breathed,...

In the shadows of my mind There is a memory of you, laughing Despite the pain that hung like a curtain Shading the windows of your heart, Stopping the light who glistened Just beyond your feelings, Where doubt told you to disregard The gentle touch of its shafts, Promising energies that would silence All the grief that followed you In my memory, you are laughing But...

It was summertime and healing from the winter’s dark Felt like memories were alone and silent, warring with the doubts Leaves green and dancing with the breeze, wings of hope Laughing at the lost moments when we played tag with hide n’ seek It was a game, summer’s cure for the past that was all pain Clouds of melancholy folded...

When my walls I face Or round my room pace, My gaze windows meet And my two eyes greet … The same as all doors But stigma do bear; Better on all fours In my finest wear Through all types of doors And face foes’ teeth and claws Than through a window Asking Barking Bingo! On the spot ‘Burglar’ After valuable, Save Room’s Regular And it thinkable: One’s door key...
