Addictions hide behind
Her grief secret, silent
Coloring her in a heavy doubt
Darkness speckled in glimmers
Hope that could be read

On the song of stardust
Dreams, reflections poured out
In lavender creams, gentle
Like a...

And there is no rhythm to it
There is no fixed interval
The breathing is like a ship in...

Just don’t grieve anymore and doubt less
We will be successful personally more or less

And evil endeavors won’t break us now
Jealousness is in the...

Each step is like
   I’m walking on mist
for not a sound
   mumbles from beneath my feet.

I can’t locate your scent,

Sand scrapes my skin as I wake,
Warm water around my shoulders break, 
Spluttering, I shake my head and open my eyes,
Palms and dunes to my surprise.

Here is warm solace from a cold bottle
Preaching the gospel of the destitute
Exploring the vanity of my self defeats

Doctors don't write prescriptions for this kind of stuff.

The separation from previous partners, 
my cleaning frenzy time of year,...

Battle within my Mind

Day by day
I live my life
Somehow, someway
Filled with toil and strife
You're back again
That little voice

Where the paradisiacal angels reside.
A myriad of creatures, ebony and betide
A dinkum dissolute and a discreet divine,
A degree of dexterity, a denizen decline

Grey lines hinting existence, 
Falling on faces of jagged risen earth,

As the mist looks lovely on the mountains today. 

A moment to remember, when...
