Authored: April 13, 2017 MATURE THEMESThere is a dream I have recurringThere is you with straight long black hairA kind face, beautiful to meI am drawn to you for an unknown reason.The dream shifts.We walk beside each other at a local parkTalking deep and meaningfully under a rich blue skyI am not sure why, but…

Authored: April 6, 2017 Yesterday I left you my chosenYou had died in my armsA wound in your backSo, I took from you a strand of hairMayhap to see your countenance again.Today, I am hereI have lost youBut memories remainI travel these worlds in search for youWalking through the Time-Lax towards youBut I do not…

Authored: April 8, 2017 You wanted to judge me from your perchI played the victim in your eyesAll your eyesAs this world descends into anarchyDo you understand I know lonelinessI have been lonelinessI am loneliness.I was once right wing then left wingI am neither nowIn your eyes you see me as a victimBut have you…

Authored: April 6, 2017 I read this in someone’s fileHe had been dismissed and rather than saying ‘dismissed’The exit paper said “No Longer Utilised”I read it and reread it and comprehended the banality of itImagine being reduced to an item, a tool, an afterthought.I wonder if this person was now the same personI had seen…

Authored: April 4, 2017 There is a smell in the airSomething putrid on the wind’s tailThe sun still has biteBut the wind bears testament to a coming coldI stand at the summit of a hillOverlooking a creek laced with factoriesAnd telegraph towers.That smell is acridLike something has gone offI walk towards the creekThe tides have…

Authored: March 30, 2017 Where were you? Where was I?You spoke of Soul Mates and Twin FlamesMysticism and spirituality you spoke in sweet nothingsBut do you remember that time.I came to your place, and we went to the parkUnder a warm late Winters afternoonI reached out to you, and you flinched awayWhat started coming out…

Authored: March 26, 2017 I watched as a thousand souls passed me byI felt the rhythms of a million heart beatsSolid forms traversing physical realmsI faded slowly into obscurityAway from view.One morning I find myself sitting on the ledge of a creekWatching the tide go outI am physical yet the water is liquidI watch as…

Authored: March 24, 2017 You had your pick of suitorsI was simply a figure in the backgroundI was stuck in the same quicksandI promised you one day I would take you awayAway from all that held you downSo, for a moment you said “I so want that”And the next day you were with anotherEither way…

Authored: March 24, 2017 Cities fell; the lights dimmedI watched the shadow of you disappearAs darkness took holdSo, i reached out to youSomeone newI sent you a messageNo response neededFrom afar your smile took hold of meI felt a kinship with you.I will tell you a storyOf pain, of blood shedOf tears rearedI wished you…
