Every time I saw you my face,
Lit up into the biggest smile.
Every time we touched my,
Skin tingled, shivers down my spine.
Every time I think of you now,
All I feel is regret, it’s for the best but,
Loving you hurts, just as much now as it did back then.
The mistakes, I repeat them.
Circles, I go round in them.
Stupid situations, I find myself in them.
Stranger’s beds, I wake up in them.
Feelings, I don’t have them.
“I love you”, is what I tell them.
Wanting out, need to get away from them.
A nice guy, that’s what I seem to them.
The façades…they don’t notice them.

You get up, out of bed. Disorientated, blinded by the light.
You wash your body, you clean your teeth, make yourself presentable.
Spit out the froth, rinse it away down into the dark depths of the plug hole.
Button up your shirt, tie your tie and you’re ready to conquer the world. Go outside, face the day, I dare you.
In 10 hours’ time you’ll be back. Walking through the door, tired, stressed. Continue reading
Poetry is many things. It’s words on a page. It’s paint on a canvas. It’s music in our ears.
It is you as a child, sat in your room casting shadow puppets on the wall in the glow of your night light.
The video below is poetry.
I promised you I’d be there,
Your guardian angel.
But now my wings have been clipped,
Fallen below, I can not rise.
I wander around down here in the dirt and the dust,
Not looking forward, just constantly gazing up.
I wrote a song for someone once, with the idea that she’d eventually record it and she actually did! I completely forgot that I’d put the poem/song up here and I’ve just been reading through my poetry on the site as I’ve rediscovered a love for writing it and I stumbled across it again so here is the song as performed by the lovely Chlo O’Donnell (psst, she’s really good you should check her out!) and below the video (after the jump) I’ll put a link to the lyrics!
I want to go back to a simpler time when,
we’d spend our days by the beach and then,
play in the waves, toes sinking in the sand.
Come now, take my hand,
Promise me my future won’t remain this bland.
I just need something to hold on to. Continue reading
“Last night I had the strangest sensation.
Falling slowly but in actuality,
I was stationary, in the same location.”
Hello there! Just a quick update to tell you about a weird feeling I had last night whilst led in bed, I started to write that first sentence and the next too came to me so thought I would just put it in quotes and it could be a nice little ice breaker for this here blog post.
But yeah, I had a weird sensation last whilst led in bed (not the falling sensation which that short ditty refers to). It was the feeling that someone had climbed on to my bed and settled next to me. Let me help you picture the scene. Continue reading
Like an old rope bridge,
Connecting our lives.
The rope is slowly rotting,
Its strength becoming weak.
Halt!
Don’t take another step.
If we get any closer, Continue reading

raven dips claws
in the river
pulls waves
